Métis Crossing

We stayed this past weekend for the family camp. We opted for the trapper's tents as my children wanted to experience camping. The camp site was clean and there were flush toilets. The food at the bistro was great. It just took a while for the food. The activities where very family friendly. We did a guided tour of the site with Emma Anne, did they Wildlife tour and Archery. Sunday morning brunch was to die for. This is truly a hidden gem.

Though there are many services here, we just went for a walk through the grounds. Everywhere we went, the staff was very helpful. The displays were tactile and informative. It was a great, low key way to spend a couple hours on a sunny afternoon.

Exceeded my expectations! We did the wildlife tour and saw many bison (including white bison!), elk and horses. The architecture of the main buildings is gorgeous. It would be a perfect setting for a luxe wedding. The food in the bistro was beyond fantastic! We had the pickerel and bison burger and they were both 10/10. The service was excellent too. I bought some local jams and art from the lovely gift shop and the staff member at the shop was so warm and friendly. Everyone in our group had a fantastic time!

What a beautiful zen place to visit, overlooking the Saskatchewan River. Spacious, comfortable rooms and the bistro offered a delicious menu. The gift shop offered beautiful hand crafted items that Thoroughly enjoyed my stop there.

I love this place. The hotel rooms are the best. And I have travelled in my lifetime. A quiet and educational place that allows you to enjoy. The food is excellent and affordable . I enjoy the buffalo stew when I have dinner there. All the staff are great! Stayed there many times, always great!

We spent the morning wandering around these beautiful grounds learning about Métis culture. This would be a great place for a work retreat, family reunion, wedding or other large group events. We had a delicious lunch at the cafe on the deck. After we went to the Victoria settlement just down the road.

Métis Crossing is a place that the Smoky Lake community should be proud of. It’s a beautiful and meaningful space where people can learn about Métis history, culture, and traditions. The experience is both educational and inspiring. The facility is beautiful, where you can pop in during a road trip or have an extended stay at the hotel. The grounds and restaurant are beautiful.

My friends and I loved the area and the peacefulness of the place. We stayed in the family dome, the beds were comfortable and the dome was warm and inviting. We wished there was a little campfire stationed outside. Other than that, I highly recommend Metis Crossing to visit or stay for a weekend or a week. I will definitely recommend to coworkers, friends, and family. This place is a gem 💎

For $15 you get to see helpful and engaging college students explain this fascinating part of Canadian culture. Facility is brand new and spotless. Also: * Stroll down the path and feast on some Saskatoon berries, choke cherries, and wild raspberries! * Enjoy and interesting and well-prepared lunch (smoked trout burger on bannock is the way to go)! * Ice cream featuring local berries! * Stay overnight in the trappers' cabins! * Hotel opening soon! Would a gift shop be nice (sashes!)? Sure would.

Near smoky lake. Went to a persaud meteor event in December. I found it to be very disorganized. I called in the morning and they said events start at 6pm. I went a bit early to go have dinner at the restaurant. I ordered at the counter and sat down before everyone else. The wait staff proceeded to serve almost half the restaurant despite me ordering first. I had a hunch there was Asian racism here since I noticed another Asian couple completely ignored for over 30 min after sitting down and had to request a menu. But we are in small town alberta near smoky lake so that's completely expected. Once I mentioned something I got my food in less than 1 min which was surprising after waiting an hour for just a bison soup and burger. The food was okay. Potato salad was just boiled potatoes with mayo. The burger was nothing special. Food was a miss that's for sure. And probably won't ever be back. Not knowing what was going on the event made it underwhelming. At 7pm finally an announcement was made. There was an art station, a small speech and a little tent to watch a little show.
