Review from Stephanie W.

Storm Mountain Lodge is a cozy, warm mountain retreat located just north of Banff and south of Lake Louise. Each of the rustic log cabins includes a wood burning fireplace to enjoy a relaxing night in, an antique bathtub to lounge in after a day of skiing or snowshoeing, and a quiet, peaceful setting to escape from the chaos of the city.
If you have the chance, the main house has a charming dining room open for breakfast, lunch and dinner on most days. Start the day with a freshly made seasonal scone and coffee and end the day with a warm blueberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream sitting in front of the fireplace.
The hospitality and service are impeccable. The owner, Steve, his family and staff are super friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable about the surrounding area and history.
I enjoyed a week-long stay at the lodge and would definitely return. -

Storm Mountain Lodge is located in Banff National Park in the Vermillion Pass on the Banff-Windermere Highway (#93 south). It is just 25 minutes outside of Banff and Lake Louise townsites. It's a reasonable drive and a nice quiet nature alternative to actually staying in a sometimes busy and touristy Banff. It's also on the way to Kootenay National Park and Radium Hot Springs further down the road.
Storm Mountain Lodge was constructed in 1922 as one of eight Bungalow Camps built by Canadian Pacific Railway to promote tourism in the Rocky Mountains. The Site consistes of a Main Lodge building with an excellent restaurant that serves dinner (make sure to make reservations) and offers a continental breakfast with home-baked goodies for breakfast. There's also a fireside lounge area and a nice gift shop feartures local crafts.
There are fourteen original log cabins constructed in the early 1920's with completely restored interiors. Each also has front porch for relaxation and reading. The cabins are well spaced for privacy on a forested site. The cabins are very comfortable and fun to stay in. I have stayed here twice and will do so again the next time I'm in the area.Listed in: Gayle, Unique Places to Stay
