We don't need to go search for anywhere else to stay in Cranbrook.
The Elizabeth Lake Lodge is it.
When I made our reservation three weeks ago, George emailed me back right away to let me know he was happy to address my needs and help me out with anything else.
I arrived on a Thursday afternoon and Rachel handled our checkin. She's super. She ensured our room was all set up for our K-9 friend, placing a sheet over the love seat in the room and ensuring we had 'doggy towels' in the event *someone* got wet while strolling along the path at the bird sanctuary in our backyard.
Rachel didn't hesitate to help out with places to eat, recommending her and George's favourites.
And she made the requisite fuss over Shep when he jumped out of the truck to meet her.
One half of the motel was recently renovated and the work has resulted in cute little rooms that are comfortable and homey. The other half is currently under re-construction.
Our room had a kitchen table and kitchenette, fully equipped with a two-burner range, microwave, mini sink, frying pan and full-service dinnerware and flatware. Special requests for colanders, pots and more are filled at the front desk.
The bathroom floor is the piece de resistance. Heated tiles! They're set to a timer which warms them up for your morning and evening routines. I'm going to request my landlord tear up all the flooring in my apartment and replace them with heated tiles!
We're looking forward to our next stay in Cranbrook, so we can spend some more time at the Lodge. They have secured our travel business ... no problem! -

Now I have to admit that this is the only place I have stayed in Cranbrook but when I travel through again I will make the choice to stay here again. First the owner and his family live on site and could not have been friendlier. When we pulled up he greeted us by name as we got out of the car. Let me say that it's located close to the road and the train tracks but so is every other choice along the way and I am a very light sleeper. That said I slept through the night soundly.
The rooms are spacious, clean and very cozy. The beds are as good as any Hilton I have slept on and the tile floor in the bathroom is heated. The tub is huge and the water pressure in the shower will knock you over.
Behind the property is a beautiful sanctuary and wet lands that you can walk around. Lots of bird and prairie dogs that aren't too afraid of people. My young daughter loved the walk and everything to see. She also loved the mini golf course on site too. It is touted as the hardest in Western Canada. I can honestly say it is the toughest I have ever played.
The owner grew up in the area and gave great advice on local food and sites. We took his advice on them and of course they were perfect. Fort Steele is close by and was loads of fun.
This is a wonderful place that is owned by a wonderful family. There may be a better place in Cranbrook but I can say that I probably won't chance it when I return. I have stayed in many hotels and the amenities for the value at Elizabeth Lake Lodge would be tough to beat. -

I stayed here in June 2010. Very well designed and well furnished rooms. Good location on south side of town. Very cool miniature golf course on the property. Nice access to walk around the lake.
