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.

We checked about 9pm after a long day. We were so happy to see the restaurant still serving and willing to seat us without a reservation.

Wonderful cabin feel and accomadations.
Our room was absolutely beautiful. The beds were very comfortable. The fireplace was beautiful and since it is a wood burning fireplace, we could still smell wood which did bother my allergies. There was a little porch out back which we enjoyed sitting and watching the small animals running. We saw two foxes. The bathroom was huge and very modern. Staff at the reception desk were so nice and friendly and willing to help however they could. I would highly recommend staying here.
