I had a wonderful experience at the hotel, which offered clean and comfortable accommodations with stunning views of Kootenay Lake. The property had great amenities, including a lovely free 9-hole golf course and a cozy fire pit. However, I found the drinks to be quite overpriced. Overall, the location was ideal, being close to beautiful hot springs and plenty of outdoor activities, making it a solid choice for a relaxing getaway.

My stay at this resort was just lovely. Nestled on a hillside above a spectacular lake, it offered stunning views and a much-needed peaceful environment.

Overall, it was a fantastic value for a relaxing getaway.

The hotel offers stunning views of Kootenay Lake and is surrounded by beautiful nature, making it an ideal spot for nature enthusiasts. The staff, particularly Neil, were very helpful and accommodating. However, the hotel is in need of some updates as certain areas show wear and tear, and the additional charge for pets might feel steep for a longer stay.

My husband and I had a lovely impromptu getaway at this hotel. The room was spacious and had an amazing view of the mountains and Kootenay Lake from the balcony. The hot tub was a nice touch, providing a perfect place to unwind. However, the spa resort title seemed a bit misleading as there were limited amenities available during our visit, especially in the winter. While we enjoyed our stay overall, a more varied breakfast and better room descriptions would enhance the experience.
