First time at Elkhorn last weekend with my 3-year-old, my wife and my expectations were definitely exceeded.
Our cabin was recently renovated, with the heated floors in the washroom being a nice touch. The Buffalo Bar had good food at a good price. There are plenty of things to do and the spa looked beautiful but I can’t comment because my daughter was basically in the water park from sun up to sundown. To round it out, the team were pleasant and consistent. We will be back for sure.

I stayed at the Elkhorn Resort for two nights in mid-September. Very easy access to the Riding Mountain National Park. September was a great time of year to visit. The weather was nice and there were very few guests at the hotel, and it felt like I had the park to myself.||Check-in was easy. I had Executive King room 119. It was at the end of the hall near the pool…a bit of a walk from the parking lot. The room was large, had a fireplace with a Duraflame log, rain shower, and a patio. The room was clean and comfortable.||I ate a few meals at the restaurant…all was good. They have a small sitting area outside where you can have drinks. Nice area but the flies were bad this time of year. The pool area was big, and it looked like kids would have a blast. I had the outside large hot tub to myself one afternoon…very nice and relaxing. I would stay here again if I was visiting the National Park.

We stayed at this hotel and decided to visit the SPA, but we were unpleasantly surprised by the ridiculous rules. Apparently, once you leave, you can’t come back in. We had a situation where my wife needed to take her medication, which was in our room. She was told that if she left, she wouldn’t be allowed back in. What kind of nonsense is this?! We paid for the service, yet we felt like we were in a concentration camp rather than a relaxing environment.
Another absurd restriction is the rule about mobile phone use. I completely agree that the phone should be on silent, but why do you care if I scroll through my news feed or handle my personal matters? Maybe that’s how I enjoy my relaxation—sitting by the fire while browsing my phone. Why should someone else decide how I unwind?
The hotel itself is nice, but get rid of these ridiculous rules that make guests feel controlled rather than relaxed.

Room is nice and clean, staff are friendly and accommodating. The pool is the best attraction in clear lake. Between the hot tubs and the slide/pool,my toddlers played and kept warm for hours and hours. The hotel keeps dvds that you can borrow with a player in the room. Food at the restaurant was a touch on the expensive side, decent tast but arrived fast.

My stay at Elkhorn Resort was amazing! The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-equipped with stunning views. The newly renovated pool and hot tub, open late, were perfect for relaxing. The Klar So Spa was spotless, calming, and fairly priced—a must-try for saunas and massages.
The restaurant offered great food, views, and fair pricing with excellent service. I highly recommend this resort for a relaxing getaway. Can’t wait to return!

A Memorable Stay with Exceptional Service
From the moment we arrived, Craig, one of the managers, set the perfect tone for our stay. His helpfulness, courteous demeanor, and ability to engage with our humor made us feel genuinely welcome—like we were exactly where we were meant to be.
The Klar So spa was a serene and relaxing escape, and the front desk team was equally delightful. One standout staff member was a woman whose mother also works at the hotel (I regret not getting her name!). Both she and her mother were absolute gems—kind, attentive, and willing to go the extra mile. Her mother even went out of her way to find me dental floss, which I had forgotten.
The only small hiccup was the bed being too soft for my lower back issues. I mentioned this to the hotel, and Craig once again went above and beyond. Instead of a standard "sorry," which I’ve experienced at other hotels, he found a solution within minutes. Thanks to his prompt response, I had the best sleep I’ve had in a long time.
I stay at many hotels nationally and internationally, and the level of customer service here is unparalleled. Craig and the entire team made our experience exceptional, and we can’t wait to return.
Cheers to Craig and the team for making our stay unforgettable! Highly recommend this hotel for anyone seeking outstanding service and a truly welcoming atmosphere.

Had 3 days of meetings out there.
Enjoyed the hot tub(indoor) by the pool. Nothing ends a chill like a nice hot hot tub! Outdoor hit tub option was there too but it was too cold out there for me. Bed was very comfortable. Room was cozy and comfortable. Suite had a real fireplace complete with a firelog to burn- just remember to open the flue first. I actually chickened out on using it during my stay. Insuite tv and wireless wifi.
Food was great. My wife ate off the menu while my conference provided my meals catered by the kitchen- both of us enjoyed our meals.
My wife did the spa experience and enjoyed it very much. She added an hour massage on too- slept like a baby that night.
Conference room was nice and spacious. Catering was spot on. Overall a very enjoyable experience. Careful about letting google maps guide you in winter- took us down some shady, icy roads on the way from Winnipeg.
