A top notch experience while visiting the Banff area. We enjoyed this location better than downtown Banff due to its rural and upscale and more private atmosphere. All staff members we interacted with were professional, service oriented and friendly. The cabin was very clean and tastefully decorated in a modern, rustic way. We used the gas fireplace and enjoyed the Adirondack chairs on our porch when relaxing. The dining was superb. Breakfast’s were diverse and delicious. Dinners were some of the best we have had…. The flavors and presentation of all dinner dishes were unique and very tasty. We stayed 3 nights and wish we had time for more. We will be back!

This hotel is located in an amazing spot, right beside the river. You can live your luxury log cabin fantasy here. The room itself was amazing with an electric fireplace, with timber fireplaces available in other rooms. The room itself is quite tight as we had two large suitcases but we made it work. Great products too in the room, sadly didn’t get to use the bath! There’s a beach area on the river with a fire which was a great touch. Dinner was amazing and the food is a real stand out . We enjoyed great wine, soup and steak. We then relaxed by the fire afterwards. It’s a really great place to dine and the staff will attend to your every need with a smile :) As much as I wanted to love this place, the bed was incredibly squeaky. Unfortunately my partner and I are both light sleepers, so every time we turned the bed squeaked waking the other up. I’m surprised to not find other reviews with this feedback. Unfortunately neither of us slept very well at all. Other than the bed this was a 5/5 stay!!!

Loved staying at the lodge. Our room was clean, spacious with a great bed. Sitting by the river at the end of the day was one of the highlights of our trip. Staff were also fabulous. The only grizzle we have is the restaurant. We realise that we are a captive audience due to the location of the property but felt that this was taken advantage of. Whilst the food was lovely the prices were exorbitant. Two scallops for $27 plus tax plus tip was outrageous. We would absolutely stay here again as the location and lodge is amazing.

This place though exceptionally beautiful, is not conducive for traveling with young children. They do not have the available amenities we needed for staying with my 13 month old daughter. We didn’t have the option for a crib or pack n play available to use, which is fine if you are driving and can bring one but most families traveling I presume do not pack a travel crib. At both meals, the restaurant didn’t have a booster or high chair available so I had to put my daughter in her stroller to eat. I kindly suggested to the front desk that these options should be available for families - as I imagine I’m not the first one to bring a baby or child to stay there. And for the price you pay to stay in such luxury cabins, I’d think they would have covered all these options to be available for any families that need such amenities and choose this location for lodging.

Luxury costs but not luxury service or value for $. We had a Premium King Cabin for 2 nights with complimentary meal package including breakfasts and dinners. No condiments are brought with meals eaten in cabin. No choice for morning beverage except coffee with milk - not even cream. We would not have paid to eat here if it wasn’t included in our deal. For instance, a charcuterie appetizer was $24 and consisted of 2 thin slices of a mild Swiss cheese, 2 very thin slices of 2 types of meat, 5 gourmet crackers, a few pickled beets and candied pralines. Toilet in bathroom was very low. View through any window included seeing into another cabin. We had to ask for dinner dishes to be removed after they’d been in the way for breakfast meal delivery. Covid policy changed from time of booking but we were not informed- on arrival we were asked to show proof of double vaccination. Luckily we’d brought it in case it was needed for flight home. Desk staff on arrival was great, next staff was fine, but evening staff acted as though anything asked of her was a bother. It’s a cozy cabin with a large soaker tub and fireplace to curl up in front of after a long day hiking around the local attractions. Not worth the cost unless there is a deal included (ie ‘free’ meals).

THE GOOD: 1. Decor 2. Trees, creek and amazing views 3. Food 4. Staff
THE BAD: 1. Extremely noisy lodge kitchen extractor fan. It literally sounds like several semi trucks idling next to the cabin! I cannot stress this enough! 2. Noisy highway and train are very close by, they definitely disturb your sleep 3. Tiny room without enough room for luggage and only one luggage rack 4. Lights everywhere, you cannot control the outside lights on your porch 5. No mini fridge
ADVICE: Definitely do not get a cabin anywhere near the lodge/restaurant; that extractor fan is horrendous! Avoid cabins #3, #4, #16, #17, #18, #19 We were in cabin #19
It’s a really cute place, I’m sad that we had a cabin in a lousy location I would definitely return to this hotel, but only if I could choose the cabin location.
Owner should replace that loud kitchen extractor fan

We spent 4 nights at Cathedral Mountain Lodge and had a lovely time. The location is great if you want to see Yoho Park and the Lake Louise/Moraine Lake area but not be in the middle of crowds. Our cabin was comfortable and the breakfasts in the morning were very good. The staff was friendly and helpful. There were a few minor problems, like lights not working in our cabin, the fact that you could not keep the fan on and the overhead light off (they were on one switch), no AC. And it is very close to the freeway, which was noisy and was visible from some parts of the property. You definitely feel like you are in the mountains but I did not feel as "away" from things as I would like. But I would still definitely stay here again if we were in the area.

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....

Yes, this place was a bit pricey, even with the 20% discount that was offered for a three night stay. However, there are not many options in this part of Canada and given that we wanted to see the surrounding areas we were satisfied with our selection of accommodations. Our cabin has a Ralph Lauren type of feel about it and was relatively roomy, although I can emphathize with other travelers who complained about there not being a really good place to situate luggage. In addition to the king size bed, there was a small seating area with two chairs. We also had a gas fireplace, which we used extensively given that it was raining/sleeting outside for most of our stay. The cabin was a bit closer to other cabins than I would have liked, but we were not disturbed by other nearby travelers. I also was worried a bit about train noise as the cabins are fairly close to the railway. However, with the windows closed we were not bothered at all with any associated noise. The bathroom was well equipped with L'Occataine toiletries. It would have been nice to have a fridge in the room, but I don't know where they would have put it. We therefore had to rely on bringing ice from the main lodge, which was a bit of a pain, but it worked for keeping before dinner drinks cold. Breakfast in the main lodge was excellent, with lots of variety. Although it was billed as a buffet, there were hot eggs and meat, along with fruits, cheeses, cereal, and pastries. We had dinner at the lodge on two evenings; although a bit pricey, the food was very good there. All in all, a nice stay, although you will definitely feel some sticker shock given the prices of the rooms there.

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!

You can but there is no playground etc there. It is an adult resort with accomodation restaurant but if your four year old likes walking there are lovely walks from there.

As Guests of Cathedral Mountain Lodge you are able to visit their Lodge at Moraine Lake and have free use of the Canoes on the Lake this for us was one of the Highlights of our stay.
