Buffalo Mountain Lodge delivered a flawless stay from start to finish, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a true mountain getaway. Every detail—from the rooms to the restaurant and staff—made our week there unforgettable. Overall stay Our 7‑night stay at Buffalo Mountain Lodge was absolutely perfect, with that legit mountain lodge feel we were hoping for. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and the whole property feels warm, inviting, and well cared for. Rooms and comfort The rooms are super clean, nicely updated, and extremely comfortable, and we slept perfectly every single night. The in‑room fireplaces add a cozy touch that makes it feel like a true alpine retreat rather than a standard hotel. Property and amenities Although parking can be a little tricky at first, we were able to figure it out without too much trouble. The hot tub was exactly what we needed after long days of hiking, offering the perfect way to relax and unwind. Restaurant and breakfast service The on‑site restaurant is a real gem, with excellent food and even better service throughout the day. At breakfast, Jordyn, Alexander, and Monique treated us like royalty—so friendly, attentive, and full of great tips on things to see and do around town. Afternoon drinks and staff highlights Afternoon happy hour from 2–5 pm with half‑price drinks was a fantastic bonus, and Ihor made sure our glasses were never empty. We also had the pleasure of meeting Mike and Zack, who help maintain the property; they were incredibly kind and helpful, offering suggestions for meals, hikes, and sights that genuinely improved our stay. Management and recommendations The restaurant manager was also wonderful—very friendly, present, and clearly committed to making guests feel welcome. I could go on and on... We truly can’t recommend this lodge and its restaurant enough, and because they book up for good reason, we strongly suggest making reservations well in advance.

Great property. I stayed there 20 years ago and thought maybe it would be dated and old but its NOT. Such a quaint place. So much wildlife. A Fox literally curled up at the back door to the room and napped! Staff are what youbwould expect from a luxury property. Not a single average interaction with these amazing staff. Food in the restaurant is great. Get the 7 piece chacuterie board. The only bad thing i can say is that they have no Air Conditioning. I spent 4 days on a housboat in 38 degree weather and not a single decent sleep because of the heat and then was so looking forward to AC and luxury conditions. Im sure its not an issue normally but we were there in a super hot week. It broke my heart. Lol. Other then that we will stay here everytime we come back.
What a great place to stay and eat. The hotel staff were hospitable and very attentive. The rooms were great a short walk to bus stop or amazing views down the valley and the river. The restaurant and bar are second to none. We had the best meals here during our stay versus downtown. Amazing Cesar but the fresh farm to table shows. The locally procured meats will spoil you from anything else you will eat on the main strip in Banff. Great job to the staff at The Lodge to make our stay excellent.
