Excellent value, everything was as advertised or better. More food than we could possibly eat but it was so good we wanted to!

What a special place. We felt like we made new friends of the people we ate dinner with and those we had a drink with after dinner in the beautiful lounge. Their goal is to make you feel at home and we did. Fyi, no AC in the rooms but thankfully we had a cool night. No WIFI or TV's....nice to be off the grid! Bow Lake is magical. Splurge and stay for a couple of nights! Dinner, Breakfast and lunch included.

This is a place unlike any other. Very unique; the staff stay on property for a few months while working during the summertime. They were incredibly kind. The owners were there when we were and were also very gracious. The location is fabulous. Where else can you go outside your hotel room with a coffee cup and a muffin in the morning and walk along a glacial lake before breakfast? Amazing!! It also has very easy access multiple trails around Bow Lake. Regarding meals, the dinners were extremely tasty and the ambience inside is very cool. Really nice to have the to-go lunches, too. The only warning I have is that you have to prepare to be very social - at dinners and during breakfast you have assigned seats with other groups at the tables. Assignments changed each night. It was fun but also could be exhausting after a long day, and dinner could take a few hours. Overall, we had a very unique and unforgettable experience.

The Lodge at Bow Lake was one of the best hotel finds! The historic lodge has been meticulously restored, furnished and enhanced with fine art and historic photos. The staff curated a wonderful guest experience with a delicious gourmet group dinner and breakfast. We even were offered a free one hour birding talk from a Master Naturalist who was very entertaining. The setting is one of a kind on aqua blue Bow Lake with a hiking trail around the lake just steps away. We lived every minute there. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
