The picture of the room was much nicer than the actual room. We were actually staying at the saddle lodge which was infested with mosquitoes.

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. :)

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.

They fail to tell you that their “basic” room is not on the main property but actually in a crappy motel across the highway. They also do not tell you / advertise that in summer, the lodge facilities are effectively closed, no dining room or lounge, no hot tub or workout centre access. Totally misleading.

Room not as advertised on hotels.com!!

I was really disappointed the pictures that were shown on hotels.com where of the lodge and the cabins and all the beautiful log work and gorgeous rooms, when I got there, I was told my room was across the highway at another part of the hotel was a very old part of the hotel. It was more of a motel than any type of resort and every time I opened the door to go out to my car for any reason The mosquitoes were so bad and when I got there, my room was full of mosquitoes. I must’ve killed at least 30 of them when I arrived that must’ve got in when the cleaners were doing the room. It’s not that the room was dirty. It’s that the room was old. It was not comfortable. It just was not what I was expecting because the pictures that were shown were absolutely beautiful and the motel across the street was not. Be sure if you book at this hotel/resort that you find out first where they will be placing you and if they say that you’ll be staying at the property across the highway from the resort, depending on what you’re expecting, I would say don’t do it. It is well kept but it has seen better days and the mosquitoes that were in my room were not fun. I spent the night chasing a buzzing sound so that I could get some sleep. I left there with multiple mosquito bites. I don’t usually leave bad reviews because I read the reviews and they were great and I looked at all the pictures and they were awesome but this was like night and day from what I booked. I wish I was told about!!!!!

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.

I didn't realize that I would be staying in the property across the street from the cabins & lovely resort - in an old motel they own. Very disappointing. I'm not sure if it was because I was travelling with my dog and if so, I would have liked to know that in advance and wouldn't have booked and then pay $50 for my pet. I expected a lovely accommodation.

It's a basic motel. It wasn't bad, it's just the same as many motels, which try to save on everything. If it was also cheap it would be fine - you get what you've paid. But it wasn't. In my opinion it's too overpriced for the basic level of comfort they ofer. I expected for more.
