Nothing but perfect, everything time!
Amazing property! We have stayed here a handful of times over the years and recently stayed in a renovated unit which was wonderfully done! Huge bathrooms and the bedding is always so comfortable! The only downfall was the in-room fireplaces have a starter pack that aren’t meant to burn for long, so the fire was short, but sweet. Great food at the restaurant!!

Early winter getaway.
A group of us went to Banff for the Barra McNeil concert and stayed at Buffalo mountain Lodge. We had a great time. Decorations were wonderful. We were impressed with how well kept the walkways were as it had snowed and could have been treacherous!

We had a special room with a spectacular view. It was quiet and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Housekeeping was efficient and thorough. My only minor issue was being overly warm even with the heating off at night, probably as a result of the type of comforter. Would definitely stay there again.

We had an amazing view of the mountains and sunrise. We enjoyed the hot tub to relax after a long day. Room service is great. Some minor fixing like water from the shower is over flowing from the stall, making the bathroom wet. Sink not draining properly. Over all, we had a great time.

Our stay was very comfortable and pleasant. It was lovely to have access to the fireplace to make s'mores - it really adds to the ambiance of the suite. Having a kitchen helped us save hundreds of dollars on dining out. Check-in and check-out were very smooth. Staff was very welcoming and helpful.

객실이 생각보다 넓었으며 분위기 있고 편안했습니다.
거실에 있는 벽난로는 나무와 불쏘시개가 구비되어 잘 가동이 되었고 운치을 돋구는데 한몫했습니다.
밴프로 누가 여행을 간다면 추천할 만한 숙소였습니다.

The resort was great and loved the aesthetic of staying in a lodge. The room itself was spacious and beautiful with a fireplace, perfect for cosy evenings. The bed was comfy. Shower was great. Lovely room and wish we could have stayed longer. One evening there was even elk outside our lodge which made this special to see wildlife so close. Parking was a bit tricky so if getting there later evening might not get a space but there was plenty of space for us to park on the road.

They had a wedding all but one of the nights we were there. One was really loud late into the night. The shower seal was broken often getting water in the floor. Overall not bad. Staff was very nice and helpful.

Toilet would not stop running.
The rooms have a paper thin walls which made sleeping, especially in the morning not enjoyable. The people above our room were up at 5AM you could hear them walking around loudly and basically heard their full conversation. Needless to say our bed felt like it was in their living room.
