We absolutely loved our stay at Storm Mountain Lodge. Our cabin was cozy and comfortable, and they provided kindling to have a fire in the fireplace. The lodge was cozy and charming, and our two dinners at the restaurant were both fantastic. I would return again in a heartbeat. The lodge was also a great location between Banff and Lake Louise, with nearby hiking also available.

The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, but the thing that makes Storm Mountain Lodge Cabins noteworthy is its gourmet chef--there is no place in the Lake Louise area that can equal the wonderful creations that come out of that chef's kitchen. One of the best decisions we made was to make dinner reservations there every evening of our stay, a great way to end the day!

We loved the quiet cozy nature of this property and our cabin. It isn't "frilly" but we had everything we needed and the staff was amazing. I only wish the office opened one hour earlier so we could grab tea/coffee on our early morning hiking excursions.

Breakfast is one croissant per person as their complementary, bath towels are small, no hair dryer so bring your own. I book the place as I thought it close to moraine lake but it’s not 11km away as it’s says in website it’s more close radium hot spring. Nothing special.
