Storm Mountain Lodge offers the perfect romantic getaway location - charming, perfect cabins surrounded by Banff's majesty, isolated yet close enough to both ski hills and the town-site. We stayed in a cabin-for-two for two nights. There is no cooking allowed and no modern-life conveniences (coffee maker, hairdryer, Internet, phone, etc) but who wants them? Cellphone reception was good. The cabin itself was very comfy and welcoming, roomy enough for two but with no extra room. The rustic cabins have been equipped with a wall-heater which throws sufficient heat and complements the fireplace. Wood and kindling is supplied and the fire was laid for us when we arrived! Very nice. The bathroom had its own small wall-heater, much needed, as it was cool. The old-fashioned claw-foot tub is comfy, and there is a shower rigging, but water pressure is low, understandably - out in the bush. It takes a while to fill the tub! The washbasin is located in the main room, perhaps a little inconvenient. Bed was comfy, lots of pillows, towels were fresh and plentiful, windows opened, there were ample lamps and lights. Front desk staff were friendly and efficient all through the reservation process. Staying at Storm Mountain provides wonderful ambiance and a total retreat. Just walking through its paths and looking up at the stars is magical. One of Banff's jewels!
