Lock in a great price for Helmcken Falls Lodge – rated 8 by recent guests!

to get started.

We stayed in one of the fabulous log cabin units. Lovely front deck to sit on - this is true wilderness so bring the bug spay! Well away from town and almost at the park gate. No other restaurants nearby, but the historic lodge has one for breakfast and dinner. Meals were excellent and the portions very substantial which offset the slightly high prices. At dinner, we sat on the screened porch eating area and were treated to an incredible display of humming birds feeding just half a meter away. Throughout our stay, each and every one of the staff made a point of greeting us and checking to see if there was anything they could do for us.

I normally don't evaluate hotels but in this I make an exception because the experience was simply exceptional - the site is close to the park, the staff is very friendly, my cabin was comfortable and cosy, the food was excellent - it is a bit pricey but worth it

Jeff, Luxembourg

Peaceful, quiet, owners that care , cot all set up for our daughter with the cutest blanket. Bear sightings and great area to hike

Lee-ann, United Kingdom

Bed comfortable. Very clean. Very friendly and helpful staff. Views were magnificent.

John, Australia

The lodge is in the middle of the provincial park, close to the most interesting attractions - helmken falls in around 10 km.. no free wifi and no TV. Comfortable room and restaurant inside!

Paola, Italy

This in an experience that adds to any trip to the Canadian outback. The setting is like a western corral and the accommodation is in rustic buildings scattered around the site. However, the bed and bathroom were well up to spec and we had a very comfortable couple of nights. The entertainment is very outdoors, with horse riding, golf and rafting available. The Painted Turtle restaurant at Dutch Lake is to be recommended.

Graham, United Kingdom

View from room was great and room itself was very nice and comfy. The lady at the reception was very informative about nearby attractions.

Rikke, Denmark

Great location to explore the park. Very friendly staff

Nickwouters, Belgium

Lovely being away from it all, and watching all the hummingbirds from the restaurant was amazing. Sat on balcony overlooking camp ground then horses then golf course then snow topped mountain, fabulous. Food in restaurant simple but cooked well. Staff all very helpful and friendly.

Sandy, United Kingdom

Beautiful place especially in the early morning. Room is quite clean. Staff are friendly.

“Not quite what we expected”

눉This place was quite a distance from Clearwater (advertised) and was very small and tired. As a place to sleep the night between Vancouver and Jasper, it did the job, but we were pretty quick to leave the following day.
눇The owner and staff were very pleasant and helpful.

눉Because you're a long way from anywhere, the extras such as breakfast, are expensive and not particularly good quality. CAD 5 for a poor satellite Internet link with 500MB limit of up/download. Unlike the majority of Booking.com properties, they operate a rigid no refund policy for changes less than 30 days notice.
눇Quiet, scenic and a feeling of space around you. Very close to the amazing Helmcken Falls and other attractions in Wells Gray Park. Quirky, clean accommodation and a lovely 'wild west' feel to the main public areas.

눉It was terrible. The cost of 250 per night was for a mobile with no services, not even a fridge. Breakfast was over 15.00. It caters to foreign visitors, they are welcome to it. I will camp next time.

“a peaceful lodge and camp ground”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Classic Double Room with Two Queen Beds
- • Stayed 1 night
눉It's an historical lodge, it's a campground, it's a golf course, it's a motel/hostel... It has an identity issue. I was attracted by the historical nature and the quiet location. Unfortunately the peaceful night was interrupted by the noisy people in the communal showers just down the hill from the cabin we stayed in. I guess the isolated area and limited tourist season dictates the multi use nature of the "lodge". Given the Iimited facilities in the park I would stay here again. The main lodge, although small, is cosy and charming and has just the right atmosphere.
눇Well kept buildings with character, clean room, quiet location with view of mountain and valley (and campground). On site restaurant. We stayed in the log cabin. Had a lovely trout dinner although was a bit pricey

“Might be unlucky, but we had some meh experience...”
- • Leisure trip

눉I hate giving negative reviews but GAH, this one.... Where do we begin... Our toilet had a leaking roof for both nights we were there, it literally smelled like poop. The staff tried to fix it after the 1st night, but they couldn't find anything that went wrong. They were very kind though, so they offered us a free dinner. Sadly the problem was still there the 2nd night, oh well. Bed bugs were probably the biggest nightmare we had though, we found multiple bites after we got home, and boy they were itchy. We had to throw everything we brought there into our washer for 3 times to make sure everything is clean. With $200 something per night, I have to say that we were definitely expecting something better for a birthday weekend getaway.
눇Staff are really nice, and it's really close to the park.
