The Cathedral Mountain Lodge is an excellent hotel/lodge in a beautiful location. Cabins and a Lodge/Dining room comprise the property. Each cabin is uniquely furnished with antiques and hand made furniture that together add significantly to the experience of staying here.
The staff is attentive and professional and very clearly dedicated to guest satisfaction, and all the facilities are maintained in pristeen condition. We have visited this location two years in a row, and marvel at how well maintained it is-it would be easy to believe that it opened just last week, based upon the condition of the buildings and grounds.
Food is outstanding, service is excellent, and the views and experience of being in the Canadian Rockies are the kind of thing that makes memories forever.
Importantly, we noted one review that seemed to prefer the Moraine Lake Lodge to this one. Our experience (based upon staying at both) would be different. Cathedral Mountain Lodge was less "busy" than Moraine Lake Lodge for us, and we found lots to like about BOTH the breakfast offering AND the dinner menu. We would recommend this location highly.

This lodge has many pluses and minuses. We stayed three nights in late September and at that time the adjacent public campgrounds were closed. The cabins with a wood burning fireplace are well constructed and well furnished. They are quite delightful except the sliding bathroom doors are awkward at best and the cabins are close to each other and this limits privacy when the curtains are open. The restaurant and public area in the main building are quite nice and atmospheric. We considered this property as the alternative to Emerald Lake Lodge which has many mixed reviews and because it is a sister lodge of Moraine Lake Lodge. However, except for similar furnishings, it is quite a departure from exceptional Moraine Lake Lodge. Here are some of the minuses. The train tracks and the TransCanadian higwayway are only a few hundred yards away and if you cannot see the train and vehicles, you can generally hear them day and night in your cabin, something that really detracts from the wilderness setting!! The lodge also uses a generator for its electricity and it seems to run 24/7. The lodge staff was nice enough, but many very young and poorly trained (if trained at all). Most of the staff who cleaned rooms or the grounds during the day served dinner at night. The dinner meals were very good to excellent. The breakfast which comes with the cabin charge was disappointing and not remotely comparable to the Moraine Lake Lodge breakfasts. If we were to do it over in this area, we would have stayed at the Emerald Lake Lodge.

We stayed here for 2 nights on our drive through the Rockies to Vancouver. The site consists of a group of log cabins in the woods, set far enough apart to ensure privacy. The cabins were beautifully furnished and equipped with hand-made furniture and gas-fired 'wood burning' stoves - very cosy! The beds were extremely comfortable and as there was no 'room next door' noise, we all slept well.

The main building houses the restaurant, which we used for breakfast and dinner each day (couldn't be bothered driving into Field) and we are glad we did. Continental breakfast was included and was superb, with several kinds of fresh fruit, croissants, fresh rolls, cereals and scrambled eggs to name but a few items. The coffee was excellent too. We also enjoyed the dinners, with well cooked and delicious food from a well balanced menu. The waiting staff were very efficient and friendly, with a good knowledge of every dish, describing them with flair and accuracy - well done all!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and wished we could have stayed longer, but we had to reluctantly move on.... We have no hesitation in recommending Cathedral Mountain Lodge for a relaxing (no TV or telephones in the cabins - bliss) and comfortable holiday.

Contrary to other reviews on here, we really enjoyed our two night stay.
We were in a premier cabin which was situated in the middle of the complex (cabin 15).
The cabin was very roomy with rustic lodge-style decor. It came equipped with a small fridge, coffee/tea making appliances and a wood burning fireplace which made the cabin very romantic and homely. The balcony was West facing which caught the late afternoon sun.
There are a few seats situated down by the Kicking Horse river which is a 30 second walk away.
Breakfast was average given the price but it was enough to get you through until lunch, although the coffee was a tad weak.
The noise from Highway1 and the train is very minimal at best so nothing to complain about there.
--> Agree with other reviewers RE: Google Maps location - it's actually on the road to Takakkaw Falls and not in Field itself.
We ate at the lodge restaurant on the Saturday evening and we had a stunning meal for a very reasonable price given their location (~$150 for beers, wine, appies & entree's for two).
Ask for their extended beer list as they have some great specials and maybe even some in stock that are not on the menu - our waitress brought me a Fat Tug IPA, brewed in BC, that the kitchen staff had lurking back there.. fantastic!
