"One of Yoho National Park’s few hotels, the remote Emerald Lake Lodge elevates the typical log cabin retreat with its rustic-chic decor, digital detox ethos, gourmet culinary program, and top-of-the-line bar. Situated on a peninsula in Emerald Lake, the 24 guest cabins come with cozy features like wood-burning fireplaces and private wraparound lake-view balconies. In the main lodge, with its rough-hewn wood and stone fireplaces, you’ll find the renowned Mount Burgess Dining Room, where chef Valerie Morrison serves free-range local meats like elk, bison, and caribou with seasonal sides. Take in local history — and some high-end scotch — at the Kicking Horse Lounge, whose bartop dates to the 1890s. In the low season, rooms start at around 242 Canadian dollars ($179) a night." - Zoe Baillargeon

"This 1902 timber property on a peninsula overlooking a glacial lake in Yoho National Park, west of Banff, is in "an inspirational location and has a great layout," hence the two perfect scores. The two-story alpine cabins with fireplaces and private balconies have no TVs, and some are "in need of refurbishment." In summer, guests cross a wooden bridge to dine at Cilantro on the Lake, a log cabin. Mount Burgess’s Rocky Mountain cuisine means caribou medallions, elk tenderloin, and salmon fillets. The local terrain draws cross-country skiers, although some prefer to just "sit in the moonlight and gaze at the peaks reflected in the lake."

As with other reviews the location and views at this hotel are breathtaking. However the accommodation is very very poor for the price charged. Our room 242 was dated, shabby, chipped paint, worn furniture, no doors on the wardrobe, no fridge in a unit where clearly there used to be one, dirty deck, broken screen on balcony door, filthy carpet … I could go on. ||No wifi in the room was so frustrating and had the opposite effect of their intention for you to be ‘switched off’ from the outside world. All that happened was guests brought their iPads, phones, laptops into the main building in the evening at dinner & sat with their devices catching up at a time when you could be socialising! ||You have to park offsite and the hotel send a shuttle to collect you. There are not enough shuttles! 45 minutes we waited on check in day. The following day after a full day sightseeing at Lake Louise we were unable to get on two shuttles and ended up walking. The hotel really needs to recognise this is a problem… so many people complaining about the same thing! ||Having said all the above I would like to recognise all the staff are friendly, helpful and polite. ||My summary would be save your money and stay elsewhere and visit Emerald Lake for a day.

This place is wonderful!! The staff are awesome, the room was spacious, clean, comfortable and the view from your balcony will leave you speechless! It is so peaceful here. No tv or cell service in the rooms! Just enjoy the peace and serenity of nature. We stayed in a queen suite, we had a coffee maker in the room. The breakfast in the morning was great, large variety to choose from, it was a buffet with fresh cooked foods, no fake eggs. I wish we could have stayed longer!

We stayed at Emerald Lake Lodge for our 10th anniversary and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The setting is breathtaking, and the cozy, rustic charm of the lodge made our celebration feel extra special. Our room was clean and comfortable, with amazing views of the lake. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout our stay. Thanks for making our anniversary so memorable — we can’t wait to come back!

Not the cleanest of rooms or the quickest check in service. We had 2 rooms in the cabins but they weren’t close to each other, another frustration! On the plus side this is a perfect location for a romantic break. We canoed the lake but there is a nice path around the lake side and awesome mountain views. Recommend walking out and back on the boathouse side rather than go all round. The hotel itself is lovely, and is arranged like an old hunting lodge with a full size snooker table upstairs. The restaurant was also good. We woke up early and lit the fire in our chalet.

I had an exceptional stay at this hotel! From check-in to check-out, everything was smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable. The staff were incredibly welcoming and professional, always ready to assist with a smile and genuine hospitality. It was a magical stay I had a chance to see Aurora. From your lodge, we had a nice lake view. I loved the idea of staying at your lodge without Internet or Wi-Fi so you could spend some quality time with your loved ones. I'm definitely coming back.

We had an exceptional stay at this lodge! From check-in to check-out, everything was smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable. The staff were welcoming and professional, always ready to assist with a smile and unique hospitality. They offered a crib as we have an infant☺️ Having a fireplace in our room made our stay extra special💚 Kudos go to shuttle drivers, all were AMAZING & KIND! It was a magical stay with no internet, even your vehicle would be parked away. You will be in and with nature only. Highly recommend this place☺️

The location is what you pay for. Beautiful romantic scenery as you might expect it with a look at Emerald lake if you have a little house heading towards the lake. Hiking around is possible but you need to take care a little. We did not see a bear but the staff informed us that it might happen. Quality Food with unique view to the late. You have to be shuttled from the parking lot to your lake hotel. This worked out excellent. Do not forget to leave anything you might need in your car. Rooms are spacious but might bot meet any expectations. I had my challenges to open the door 😉 Stairs will be a little challenge to teach your new home. Enjoy the silence ! Staff was very friendly but also sometimes a little complicated . It is a unique experience, definitely!

I cannot express enough how spectacular our stay was. From the beginning to the end the staff was so friendly, accommodating and thoughtful. I was nervous seeing some other reviews in regards to the condition of the rooms, but they did not disappoint. Yes, they are certainly dated, but very clean and did not take away from our stay at all. The location is unmatched. Every where you walk on the property there is a stunning view of the lake and mountain scape. Could not say enough good things.
