Quaint and quiet, this is a destination to go and relax and forget the rest of the world. The food is absolutely spectacular and the staff is world class friendly. I was fortunate enjoy a yoga retreat during my stay and I benefitted physically and mentally. The food was incredible and recipes can be found at: youbethechef.com

We attended a wedding at Nakoda lodge recently. The location is spectacular. There are not enough words in the english language to describe how beautiful it is at this location. When we arrived at our rooms we noticed how clean and spacious they were. Being that is was a wedding, I was able to see a few rooms including a... More

We recently spent a weekend at Nakoda Lodge to attend a wedding. The location is amazing for this mountain retreat offering beautiful views of the mountains from a spacious outdoor deck. The lodge is rustic and offers the bare minimum for just about everything. There was no cafe or room service so for lunch and dinner you have to drive... More

Attended a wedding at the hotel and after looking at website took our kids (14 & 11) with us to enjoy the pool while we where at the wedding. Small property on a beautiful lake nestled in the foothills with beautiful views. It has a 'rustic' feel with gravel road to get into property and no valet/fancy parking area. Lobby... More

Positive: Sunday brunch, though expensive, was very tasty with massive amounts of mostly good food. Negatives: outdoor hot tub, which we were looking forward to enjoying after a day of hiking was out of service, wanted to go for a walk around the lake but it was not a well-marked path and felt like we were intruding on someone's backyard...

I lived in Calgary for 25 odd years and have driven past Nakoda Lodge hundreds of times, but never stopped due to its poor reputation. A friend's wedding changed that and we ended up spending a Saturday night there. Our room itself was clean and spacious, although maybe looking a little worn. It's comfortable, although, not luxurious. The views onto... More

I will say that the rooms were very nice, comfortable and super quiet, so that aspect of my daughter's wedding was great. However, in walking into the kitchen for some water for our irons (ironing chair covers the night before) there was an overpowering stench of dirty kitchen. The floor in the dining hall had been more or less swept,... More

Dried out scalloped potatoes, complemented by soggy, wilted over steamed vegetables. Cold cabbage rolls. Bison (allegedly) that was the consistency of shoe leather, no horseradish in the bowl, which matched the empty mustard bowl. Salt in the shaker at the table was one solid block, not a single grain need fear escaping. Shrimp that were still swimming in water, making... More

I have heard on more than one occasion that the sunday brunch at the Nakota Lodge is excellent, I had never been before and heard the grounds and view of the mountains was spectular, so I was looking forward to seeing everything. I will say the view and the surrounding areas (lake, trees & mountains) ARE stunning, but that's about... More
