Great location and beautiful cabin. Had earplugs on bedside table initially thought they were chocolates!! In the middle of the night realised what they were for The Train Horn, if you’re a light sleeper you should wear them and receptionist should warn you of the need. Not affecting my overall experience of this great property and will be back for skiing.

Beautiful place to stay! Very quiet and peaceful since it’s off-season. Our cabin was beautiful and spacious, it smelled fresh and was very clean. Our dog loved it too! Our sunset walk to the lake was absolutely lovely. The staff were very nice as well. :)

After a kayak trip on Murtle Lake, the bed was super comfortable and the water was hot. The beer was cold and the food good at the onsite restaurant. Very good one night stay.

Rooms are comfortable. Didnt know they come with a kitchen which is a plus. Unfortunately lots of mosquitoes inside the room. Surroundings not well kept. Huge difference between the cabin side with the rooms side. Amenities not open during summer.

Nestled in the mountains of Blue River. Nice property with walking trail to Eleanor Lake. The cabins are beautiful and staff are friendly and helpful. Going in the fall had a disengaging, the restaurant closed the week before and not all rooms have the outdoor hot tub. This is primarily catering to heli skiers so there are a number of heli pads on the property. It gets very dark at night here so the stars were bright abs beautiful. Wood burning fireplace was a bonus. Highly recommend this place.

Liked: Staff & service
The room seemed clean, but there was an overwhelming cigarette scent. The room was small but had everything you needed. Maybe we got unlucky and got a room where there were a lot of smokers, but it just made the whole room feel a little dingy and unclean from the smell. The Saddle restaurant was really good, good sized portions and very tasty! Not sure I’d stay here again but I would stop into the restaurant for sure.
