Lodge y Restaurante El Mirador de Guadal

We stayed in many wonderful places on the Carretera Austral, but this lodge was a stand out. Incredible location right on the lake, with stunning views from our private terrace of the mountains and the northern ice field. We had perfect weather and spent the day on the beach, we even had a short swim. The food was outstanding, the rooms were luxurious, the service was attentive and personal. We wish we could have stayed longer!

Best stay so far of our journey! Lovely hosts, amazing views over the lake from the cabin, which was very roomy and comfy, and to top it all off, the sweetest dogs!

We have stayed at a dozen hotels and lodges in our trip to Patagonia in January 2024, and El Mirador del Guadal was on the top of the list of best stays. |Owners Carolina and Stefan were very hospitable and friendly not to only us but to all guests. They were always friendly and asked us how our stay was going and recommended places to visit. |We stayed at cabaña “La Lenga” with very confortable beds, stove and logs for heating up the place, hot showers, and specially, breathtaking views of General Carrera Lake. |Breakfast and dinner were delicious and a calm and relaxing music was always playing on the background. | We had only one regret… not have stayed more days… We’ll miss this place! Thank you so much Carolina and Stefan! |Highly recommend!| Thank you so much Caronolina and Stefan!

Hands down our favourite stay of our whole three week Cartera Austral trip! Stefan, Carolina, Thomas, and Laura made us feel like part of the family for the four nights we were with them. Evening meals in the restaurant were incredibly tasty with super fresh ingredients and the best pisco sours we have had in Chile. The cabins were homely, the views incredible, and they could not have done more to help us including giving walk suggestions and helping us book activities with great suppliers. Just book!

Absolutely wonderful place. We genuinely cried as Stepan skipped down the track with our kids. Utterly wonderful people, insanely beautiful place, great meals, great drinks. Incredibly knowledgeable people who helped us with all our Patagonian jauntings. They went out of their way to help when my son had an earache, they went home to find a hot water bottle. The lake is AMAZING - go to the beach and swim in freezing cold glacial meltwater. Cannot recommend enough.

What a location! There are numerous stunning locations on Lago General Carrera but this takes some beating. Super friendly welcome from Stefan and Caroline, the owners and a spcious, cute and relaxing cabin with endless views. The food is excellent and the staff as welcoming as the owners.

We visited last year and we had an unforgettable experience! This is an intimate and lovely lodge located in one of the most beautiful natural places on earth. Meals were bountiful and delicious. The cabin itself was spacious, and comfortably accommodated our family of four. The hosts were wonderful and made sure we had all that we needed, including for our young kids. There is a charming little town nearby with restaurants and and a great art gallery.

Together with 3 other friends we enjoyed the fantastic hospitality of Carolina and Stephan. From the moment we arrived until the last minute we spent there, we felt welcomed and looked after. ||||The rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated, the beds are excellent and the views breathtaking... but what truly stands out are all the personal touches provided by the owners and how much they cared about our experience.||||Last but definitely not least, the food in the lodge's restaurant is great. Stephan is a fantastic chef and we enjoyed every single dinner we had there (especially the BBQs!)||||Thank you so much, and we hope to come back soon.
