We stayed for 3 nights, ate in their restaurant 1 night, and had their excellent, huge breakfast all 3 mornings. All staff were friendly and helpful. The room (a King) was large, comfortable, heated with a gas stove/fireplace that was very effective, and had a front porch with 2 Adirondack chairs. There was an area outside of the restaurant to sit and relax and also several Adirondack chairs down by the shore of the Kicking Horse River that we made use of. It is very convenient to the Falls, Emerald Lake, Field (do eat at Truffle Pigs Bistro - the food there is inventive, reasonable, and delicious), Lake Louise, and the shuttle for lake Louise and Moraine Lake. You can get a complimentary pass to use at Moraine Lake for free canoeing (normally $130/hr). Just a beautiful place to stay - no TV which made it even better as you really felt connected with the mountains and nature. We highly recommend it!…
Stayed here two nights as part of our tour and it was wonderful! Had our own cabins which were nicely decorated and the heat worked! Very clean, if you didn’t look under the bed which I try to avoid where ever I go. Staff was over the top friendly and service was impeccable! Food at the lodge was extremely good! We were surprised at how good it was considering it is far in the woods and isolated, but it was like eating at a 4 star restaurant. Highly recommend this property.
We stayed for three nights at the Cathedral Mountain Lodge. We booked late, only a few weeks before going, so had to take what was available, which was a cabin with two twin beds. It was super comfortable and cosy, very clean and in excellent condition. The lodge staff were friendly and very helpful. The restaurant was pricey but good. Fantastic location, at the base of Cathedral Mountain - sure the trains pass by scaling the pass on a routine basis but it's not an issue unless you are a super light sleeper.
We wanted to stay in Yoho after Banff to get a contrast between the two very different national parks. Yoho was very quiet and our visits to Takakkaw Falls and Emerald Lake were so peaceful. It is incredible that these places had very few tourists given how spectacular they are. The lodge itself is a great remote place to stay. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed the breakfasts (pancakes ordered and a continental breakfast) and dinner (fish pasta) as well with a good range of food on the menu. The car park gets busy as I believe the restaurant is visited by non-guests, so one of the staff had to move their own car for us to find a space which was very kind. The rooms are great and very cosy. Quite a different experience to staying in fancy hotels. We only had a couple of nights here but would definitely stay again if we pass through Yoho in the future! …
an intimate lodge, with great food and service. the location in Yoho is ideal /central for visiting the main attractions in the area. However, would not recommend it because of the proximity to the train, which woke us every night. there are also limited dining options nearby
I highly recommend Cathedral Mountain Lodge! Wonderful staff, excellent food, clean cabin, comfortable beds...all sitting on the Kicking Horse River. Convenient location for our day trips. It was amazing!
Really nice facility right on the river - not far from the highway. However, our cabin was very poorly maintained. The terrace was dirty, the rooms extremely dusty, there were old crumbs on the dining table, the corners of the bathroom had not been cleaned at all. Thick layers of dust lay beneath the beds in the loft. In front of the hut there was a smell of sewage. We stayed here (after doing a thorough cleaning ourselves) for two nights. The first dinner was okay but nothing special. On the second evening, however, we were treated so rudely that we could only laugh about it. We had asked for seats on the terrace. In the meantime it was dry, but the seat cushions and the chairs were still damp from a rain at noon. The waitress told us we had the choice of sitting inside or sitting on the wet chairs, they couldn't bring us dry cushions. When we asked for it again, seat cushions were brought from inside angrily. We were called impertinent. Has anyone ever made such a request before? Plates and cutlery were then slammed onto the table by the waitress Sonya. The food was miserable. Worst french fries we have ever eaten for a $60 meal! They were surprised that we didn't want any more dessert....…
This was our second stay and after Maraine Lake Lodge. We expected something similar but that was not the case. Although there is a beautiful view on Cathedral Mountain the location is not so great. It is very close to the highway and the Pacific railway. The latter is real nuisance. And also during the night. Staff is also less client focussed. At the reception only the young guy was friendly and supportive, One of the women was indifferent and the other one was actually quite rude. Also rudeness was encountered by an older waitress. Dinner is good but the passion what we noticed at Moraine Lodge was missing. Worst of all was that our lodge was not clean. A lot of dust and one duvet had an unpleasant smell and stains. After our complaint is was immediatly replaced, but these things should not happen.…
Lovely property offers individual log cabins that are beautifully appointed...nothing rustic about the interior! I just loved the wrap-around porch with chairs for soaking up the mountain air, and the elaborate coffee set-up flanked by comfy chairs and a cute little fireplace (which wasn't available for use due to current fire hazards). No TVs or phones in the room, which is exactly how it should be in a location like this. Wifi service worked fine. Property is located on a frigid fast moving river with Adirondack chairs that offer sweeping views of the surrounding mountains...it's stunning at dusk. There is a bit of an eddy on the 'beach' so guests are able to do a polar bear plunge without getting swept downstream. Breakfast and dinner was also delightful, with surprising entrees exquisitely prepared. I would go back here in a heartbeat!…
We really liked the interior of the lodge with wooden walls, fireplace, picknick basket... Lodge was also spacious enough en located amidst the green. Staff was really friendly and helpful. On the other side, there is the noise of the trains during the night and breakfast was sober but ok. All in all worth our stay for one night.
