What an absolutely fabulous place for a weekend adventure. Super friendly staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome or cater to any special requests. We arrived really late at night and the kitchen was closed...and the staff went out of their way to make us up a bread cheese and fruit plate! Anyways the food was... More

I have never ridden snow like that, in that quantity. And that would have been plenty, but on top of the amazing snow we had some of the best food I’ve ever eaten, and we were hosted by some of the kindest people I have ever met. In the end, I know my life will not be complete without returning... More

The first day was great, the second day was fantastic and the third day was the epic powder day you dream about your whole life. It snowed 100 cms (3 feet) on the last night of our tour. We were skiing in powder up to our chests. Ridiculous. Layer on top of that great rooms with comfy beds, unfailably friendly... More

Travelled there on business with 11 other colleagues for 3 days of skiing. I always felt like I was being taken care of. You park down in the lot and are driven to the lodge by cat. Its a 35 minute ride to the lodge. You are taken to your lodge and immediately greeted by your host where our rooms... More

This past weekend we stayed at Island lake lodge in Fernie BC with 2 other couples. Island Lake lodge is in the most incredible setting, it is close to town but when you arrive you feel like you are a million miles away. Upon arrival we were greeted by friendly staff and shown to our rooms. Our rooms were very... More

We recently spent a "Romance" weekend at Island Lake Lodge and have mixed feelings about our experience. The scenery and the Lodge are beautiful but for a hotel that positions itself as a high-end property, there are many details that are being overlooked. We stayed in a deluxe room in the Tamarack Lodge. The room was an okay size and... More

Thank you for your honest review. I am very sorry that some of our details were not up to snuff during your stay. We do pride ourselves on service / fine dining and obviously this fell short on your visit. We will be discussing these issues and trying to iron them out. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly... More

We went to Island Lake Lodge to hike for the day--we weren't staying overnight, just accessing the Mt. Baldy Loop. The grounds are beautiful, and the staff couldn't have been nicer to us. They gave us a demo on how to use bear spray and loaned us some spray for our hike. Upon our return, we had some soup and... More
