Beautiful and quiet. We were lucky enough to be the only lodgers for the one night. Every part of this lodge is beautiful and comfortable. Beds and bedding are lovely. Nespresso machine and a mini fridge that is actually cold! Staff was so welcoming - we will be back!

Rowan was very nice and we loved the location. We were in room 10. I can’t speak for the other rooms, but the bed linens really need to be replaced. The pillows were flat and awful. Plus the bottom sheets were stretched out of shape and would not stay on the beds while we slept. Other than that, it was fine.

It’s important for people to know that if you book this property in the summer there is no air conditioning! It was 33C when we stayed there and there wasn’t even a fan in the room. Also, website said there were outdoor games (badminton etc) and board games in the lobby for the kids but we couldn’t find any and there are no staff on-site. Overall it’s a charming lodge but perhaps better for a winter stay.

The bed had no box spring and the mattress felt uneven. The area where your head goes felt lower than the rest of the bed.

Listing made it look like a true condo with living room and fireplace. What it is is a hotel-like room with 2 queen beds, common area living room and fireplace downstairs. There was a fridge in the room but only microwave was a small one downstairs in the common area. Good mattresses. Wi-fi never worked. Good location. Hot tub out back looked like it hadn’t been used since winter.

Awesome July long weekend

Can’t say enough good things about Winston Lodge and the management. It’s only a block from kicking horse resort, where there are restaurants and a gondola to take for viewpoints, hiking and biking. But so much quieter than staying at the resort. The check in and out was a snap, the parking ample and it was incredibly private but with management readily available and aimed to make the stay as comfortable as possible. Our room had a lovely balcony on the edge of the forest with a creek that soothed us to sleep. The skylight made us feel like we were falling asleep under the stars and the bedding was like sleeping on a cloud. Our room also had a huge bathroom, was super clean and a fridge in the room in a bureau that was big enough to house all of our needs for a few days. We also had Netflix to watch to unwind at the end of the day. So many extra touches like music playing in the common area so that we felt at home when we returned from outings. We will definitely be back!
