Moraine Lake Lodge

The Lodge was just fantastic! Everything about it, from the room to the food was 5 star. We stayed in a king room with a balcony overlooking the lake. The view was mind blowing. We canoed twice while there just to see every inch of this crystal clear beautiful lake and it's surroundings. The tourists that came to the lake each day were quiet and respectful, we hardly knew they were there. We felt like we were in a movie and at one point wondered if we had died and gone to heaven. We agonized over the cost of staying here and only stayed 2 nights but we certainly got our money's worth. The place was immaculate, service was top notch and food was wonderful. We left with memories and pictures we will treasure forever.

Expensive, yes., but worth it. Beautiful food and exceptional staff. The eco talk given one evening was informative and entertaining. The guided hike was personalised and informative. We had the whole lake and rock pile lookout to ourselves after the tourists went home in the afternoon/evening. That wad really special

Traveling quality had been degraded due to tremendous tourists at daytime. Staying at this one and only lodge beside the lake is the best way to experience the true beauty at different time of a day. Enjoy a peaceful night and morning is a unofrgettable memory of a lifetime.

This is a beautiful lodge in an incredible location with great access to fantastic hiking trails right on the properly. The staff were friendly and tried to be helpful. However, it is also very expensive and so, when they told me at the time of my reservation that they would cater to my dietary restrictions (due to an intestinal disease), I believed them. Unfortunately, they did nothing to help me out and I inadvertently ate dairy (which does not agree with me) on multiple occasions because I didn't realize it was a part of the dish. On other occasions when I requested non-dairy alternatives to the offerings I was told there weren't any. And on each day's packed lunch, I sadly had to peel off the cheese they had added. Other issues - we stayed in one of the king cabins, the most expensive room they offer. The mattress quality was not good. On the last night, I threw the sofa cushion on the floor and slept much better there than I had on the bed. Also - when one hikes all day, a space to stretch would be very helpful. The room did not have enough floor space to throw down a towel or mat to stretch and there was no place to stretch in the main lodge. This would be a simple addition to their facility. I wish I could say that I will return. I'd love to, but only if I were to receive convincing reassurances that my dietary issues would be handled better in the future (but this seems unlikely given that management did not answer my email describing what happened to me).

I stayed one night at the Moraine Lake Lodge in July. I chose this place primarily for the easy access to the Rockpile for the iconic views of Moraine Lake. I went up to the Rockpile at sunset, sunrise, and in the middle of the day. And the views were spectacular each and every time! Seeing the lake during the sunset golden hour was quite serene, as there were very few people (just lodge guests and a few hikers who hiked in from a nearby campsite) up at the Rockpile at that time. That allowed me to find a couple of locations for the next day's sunrise. Sunrise at the Rockpile was more crowded than I expected; prime viewing locations were already taken when I arrived about 30 minutes before sunrise. But I was still able to get my photos for the magical sunrise that day (July 10). As for the lodge accommodations and food, they were fine for me as a solo traveler. Special shoutout to Tayla in Reception!
