What guests think

At Storm Mountain Lodge & Cabins, travellers praise the cozy, rustic cabins and exceptionally good dinners with warm, friendly service, while noting tradeoffs like small or dated spaces, limited in-room amenities, minimal breakfast, patchy Wi-Fi, and highway or generator noise.

The location is convenient for exploring Banff and Lake Louise, with trail access nearby, though you'll need a car. Cleanliness feedback is mostly positive, but a few guests reported cobwebs, bugs, or maintenance wear. Expect an off-grid, nature-focused stay with historic cabins and intentionally simple conveniences.

WP cabin was wood siding, not logs like the others; it was in the rear, near a generator which was on all the time. Some small things pretty unusual for the amount of the cost of cabins; cheap, thin toilet paper. smaller than normal bath towels; breakfast offered complimentary self serve coffee; but you had to pay for a bun or not so good croissant. After paying $250 for dinner for 2; this seemed pretty cheap. but overall, the location; lodge and generally a lovely spot. the small things did not detract from our enjoyment. Just a bit strange.

This was the perfect spot to end our national park trip. It was close to Lake Louise, Banff, and had some great hiking options nearby. The cabins are cozy, and while there is some road noise because it’s right along the highway, we didn’t hear it at night with the fire going and it was not really a bother in the morning either. The breakfast panini you can buy was really good, as were the scones and cinnamon roll. Loved the maple tea, which you can buy in downtown Banff! We were not there when the restaurant was open, but they offered soup and charcuterie boards. They were both wonderful. And one of the lovely Irish ladies who took care of us made a great wine recommendation to go with it. It was a lovely dinner in front of the beautiful fire place. If you want to unwind and relax, this is the place to do it!

Great pet friendly property which is hard to find. We had our dog and was one of the only options. The cabin was cozy, wood provided for the fireplace, which was much needed. Dinner on site was ok but very expensive. Great drink selections. Bar in lobby with wood burning fireplace was nice, as well. Great views.

There is subtle difference between romantic and shabby, and this difference depends on personal taste. We found the tiny cabin more on the shabby side. The unit was small and run down. Especially awful was the floor and the depressing bathroom. Its location next to the road does not make for a feeling of isolation. The area does not offer anything and one must drive to Banff to find a restaurant. We were made to wait till 4 pm to check in, although we were there early and the unit had been cleaned up. We did not appreciate this rudeness. Given the high price of the unit, we would not recommend this place to anyone.

These cabins are dated, small, and very overpriced for what is included. The cabin was not clean with cobwebs on the ceilings and crumbs in the couch cushion inside the cabin. The cabin only had two electrical outlets in inconvenient spots, no hair dryer, no refrigerator, nor a coffeemaker. Breakfast in the morning from the main lodge included one stale pasty of your choice and a coffee/tea. They do have a small selection of snacks and other items for sale. Additionally, when we checked out by turning in our cabin key we got nothing more than a thank you before the young front desk representative went back to texting on her phone. No questions about how our stay was or anything else. Would not stay here again and would not recommend it.

The staff and food are great. The restaurant is worth going to all by itself. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The only issue I have is the money charged for the property. I can appreciate rustic but this is starting to cross over to rundown and while the property is ‘remote’ it is not that far from Banff or even Calgary and right on the highway so you should be able to get materials and contractors to replace worn out floors and lamps that are falling apart. Overall it was a good experience staff, food and scenery were amazing but the rooms are not great.

We enjoyed staying in the historic cabin on the property. It was quaint, lovely, as described and quite comfortable. One thing of note is that being an historic cabin with a fireplace it gives off a smoky aroma throughout the cabin. Outlets are limited but were sufficient for our needs. The entire property is run on a generator, so it makes sense that the number of outlets would be limited.

We would give the cabin a poor rating and the restaurant/ lodge an excellent rating. The cabin was really small, cramped, and dark, thankfully there was a small front porch so we could sit outside. The cabin was technically "in the woods" but it was also right off the highway and we could see and hear trucks driving by all night. The location was 1/2 way between Banff and Lake Louise, so not very convenient to either place. We paid close to $400 a night US and were extremely disappointed. . On the other hand, the restaurant was fabulous! We had dinner there both nights, the food was amazing, cooked to perfection and beautiful presentation. Really nice staff and great ambience, would highly recommend booking dinner reservations at Storm Mountain Lodge and staying somewhere else.

It got a little quieter at night but you could hear the big trucks going by. The restaurant and staff in the lodge were great. They were friendly and accommodating. Our dinner was excellent, wonderful chef! There were coffee and teas available in the lodge daily and nice things to eat. The area is convenient to several good hiking trails and a decent distance from Banff And Lake Louise.

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!

Il s'agit d'un hôtel rustique vraiment joli mais l'hébergement se fait dans des cabines vraiment vieilles non rénovées, sombres. Bien qu'il y ait une cuisine (c'est un table le soir renommée et vraiment le chef est talentueux; la cuisine est excellente) il n'y a pas de petit déjeuner sauf 1 croissant par personne et quelques items froids. Pour le prix exorbitant chargé, c'est vraiment abusif!!! Et étant isolé, des kilomètres à la ronde, il n'y a pas d'options de restauration.

Beautiful place. We wanted an unforgettable romantic birthday experience with wood burning fireplace. The wood was so green, we took 2 hours to get a reasonable burn that died out quickly. No real breakfast, just dried up continental. Dinner was OK nothing special… lovely staff though. Fourth time here and maybe the last. We have had so many great memories when the restaurant was open for breakfast and lunch. We were very hungry lol. Also bring an axe. The firewood was too big and green
