We are retired travelers so i guess the people who wrote reviews saying negative things are a bit persnicky. We have traveled the world and prefer B&B's and this one ranks near the top. The couple who built it 13 years ago and operates it -- are fine folks and very pleasant. The place is immaculate and the rooms (ours had a GREAT view of the valley) are about as nice and clean as can be with really nice decor. Hot breakfast is served and we especially enjoyed the fact that it was DARK at night with no outside lights shining in.

The Golden visitor centre felt this lodge would suit our 3 requirements - a log fire, a hot tub and somewhere we could consume our own food and wine. On arriving, we thought the place was closed - no lights and most of the curtains closed and on entering it was evident that we were the first (and only guests) arriving that day. Lights were switched on for us and after some persuasion the owner reluctantly lit the fire. Although we were told to make ourselves at home we weren't allowed to touch anything and when we asked for plates and cutlery we were told that eating our own foold wasn't encouraged. There were posters and notes pinned to various things telling us what not to do. On the plus side, we had the hot tub to ourselves and a good night's sleep in a comfortable bed. As for our hosts - well, Maria was entertaining and funny in a Basil Fawlty kind of way. We liked her a lot and she made us feel very welcome despite telling us she'd had enough of B and B. Herb, however, didn't manage to convince us we were truly welcome.

We found the Alpine Meadows Lodge to be a delightful place to stay for our visit to the Canadian Rockies. The inn was very convenient to Yoho, Glacier, and Mt Revelstoke national parks. The inn is remotely located at the top of a hill at the end of a dirt and gravel road and overlooks the Columbia river wetlands. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The owner and his wife were very pleasant to us. We learned much about the local area from them and had many good discussions about a range of topics. We would definitely stay there again.

Beware. This lodge overlooks a rail yard and you will get no sleep with the slamming together of trains, whistles, bells, etc. all thru the night. The innkeeper's wife is absolutely weird and followed us around turning off lights, closing windows etc. The rooms are small, the pillows are flat, the bed is hard and this place is only recommended for those enjoying going up a 4 KM gravel and dirt road to the most unhospitable place on earth. We couldn't wait to leave. Absolute worse place we stayed on our 2 week vacation.
