My husband and I traveled to Mount Engadine as part of our honeymoon. It is in the middle of nowhere... which is perfect when you are sick of overcrowded tourist attractions in Banff and Lake Louise.
We were greeted by Chris when we got there, our bags were taken to our room, and we sat down and enjoyed afternoon tea. Not long after we sat down to an incredible dinner. Every meal was excellent! It was among the best food we had on our 10 day trip.
The service was fantastic. Someone was always available to give tips on the best places to go hiking, answer questions on the area, etc.
Our room was very cozy. The bathroom looked like it was recently updated and our room had a view of the giant mudpit where the moose tend to go in the mornings and evenings. We enjoyed taking sleepy time tea up to our room and reading before bed... no need for a tv.
There is a great library that is stocked with all sorts of maps, local guides, and nature books. We also enjoyed the board games while we were there.
The only negative to our stay was that we didn't add a couple more days. I read the reviews before the trip but thought there was more to see in Banff and Lake Louise... spend more time in Canmore! Much less crowded and way better hiking trails. We saw fresh grizzly tracks, a porcupine, deer, moose, and some other fun nature while we were there.
It is a bit pricier than some of the other places we stayed, but totally worth it with all that is included. We'll be going back!

Chris and Shari-Lynn, along with all the staff, are incredibly gracious and and helpful hosts. The views overlooking moose meadow (yes, the moose appear regularly!) as well as the mountains across the meadow are awesome. The food was delicious - two course breakfast, buffet to pack you own picnic lunch , afternoon tea/savories, and excellent dinner. Truly a phenomenal place to stay.

Since we live in Montana, we have travelled throught southern Alberta and BC extensively. In short, this place is a gem! We have stayed at all the Fairmont properties, but for experiencing faboulous wildlife, nature, great food, and excellent service, Mt Engadine is tops. The rooms are cozy with great views of the daily Moose parade. In short, Kananaskis is the place to really see wildlife and hike the mountain trails of SW Canada, and Mt. Engadine the perfect base.

We absolutely loved Mt Engadine. We flew there the morning after our wedding and were so happy to arrive at a beautiful, quiet, relaxing spot. Our room was beautiful- we had small balcony, a fireplace and a sitting area and were able to enjoy the view as we were on the second floor. The area is beautiful- we enjoyed hiking every day we were there. (A car is a must here, if you want to hike trails that aren't directly next to the lodge.) The food was great- we loved the breakfast, the afternoon tea and the dinners. Our favorite though was the lunch! They had home made trail mix, yummy sandwich makings, snacks, fruit, and cookies. The sandwich bread was homemade and delicious and oh, the whole grain mustard. Anyway, we loved it- we saw several moose and a number of beautiful birds. The crisp air was wonderful (we live in Hawaii, so it was a change). We enjoyed it!
