We stayed Friday & Saturday in a fireplace room getting away after a lose of a Parent. The room set up is a bit different but works actually really well. We didn't swim or eat in the restraunt as we were looking for more of a secluded weekend. Our room was tidy but the tub wasn't very clean because the doesn't drain so there was a lot of hair and things in the bottom, which we know was due to the lack of drainage & drying after cleaning. Sunday morning before check out time, they were knocking on doors which I found of & have never had happen before. We don't live that far and though we thought the weekend was okay, we'd likely opt to not stay a full weekend again, maybe just a night before/after skiing if the weather's bad.

Not happy
The wifi wasn’t working, the hot tub is out of commission-which was not disclosed prior to me going down to use it and found it taped off, there was no gluten free options, even though it said on the menu there would be…it was just awful that I ended up checking out four hrs later & driving three hours home. This has not been my experience previously. They are usually a lovely place to stay-not sure what was going on this time that all the places stopped carrying GF options-other than a salad & not letting you know about the hot tub

CONS:They need to lose the old 'Motel' wing that the diner is in as it detracts from the overall first impression. This lodge has great potential but needs to address a couple of key issues. The restaurant is awful. Even if they make decent food the environment is bad enough to turn your stomach, especially to spend premium dollars on a steak. Little things like the children's size mismatched damaged cutlery, dirty menus, artwork not mounted in the frame or the waiter's shirt half tucked into his pants. Plainly simple, the restaurant needs a new, updated location to fit into the look and feel of the lodge. No grab-bar in the shower and floor level shower is without a glass door and wall. It's very dangerous if you slip or lose your balance. The hide-a-bed is low-end and very uncomfortable!! PROS: The gentleman who checked us in was very friendly and helpful. The main lobby is nice and exudes the wilderness atmosphere. This lodge is very welcoming and the rooms have a beautiful wilderness feel and appearance. Good fridge and microwave, very comfortable king size bed. The whirlpool tub for two is very nice as is the fireplace. Decent flat-screen with Shaw cable (needs to have a movie package added that's easily available from Shaw). Good air-conditioning/heating and a secure double-lock door with privacy pull-down, at least there was one in a jacuzzi suite. The lodge is located close to everything as Elkwater is small and lakeside. This is an amazing place to visit.

Close to restaurants and the beach. Dog friendly room was right next to the elevator so with the increased traffic/noise caused increased barking. Probably should have those rooms down at the end of the hallway on both floors.

Cypress Hills, 5*, Elkwater Lake Lodge, 3*
We enjoyed our stay in the Cypress Hills. Our room was clean. However, we were disappointed by the lack of property maintenance. This needed care and attention. There was an old truck filled with broken appliances and bits of wire (trash) that was very visible as you drove from the office to the parking lot. Discarded refrigerators and washing machines were visible. The outside garbage can was full so it was difficult to dispose of garbage. We noted surrounding properties were clean. While we appreciate there may be staff shortages, first impressions and outward appearance count, especially in the hospitality industry. The Elkwater Lake Lodge would benefit from taking a look at itself from a visitor’s perspective. Perhaps “Management” should start a quality assurance program.

Enjoyed stays at this property in the past, but the new management appears to have no experience or training in hospitality services. Unlike every other hotel that we have used, no daily maid service is provided (e.g. bed-making, bathroom cleaning, etc.) and this was not indicated at check-in. Room was not ready at 4:00pm check-in time. This is not the three star hotel that it used to be - more of a campers' hostel.

The stay was amazing, the lodge is just really old but that’s to be expected at these locations and the lodge has a lot of unique characteristics and the kids has a great time!! Family friendly!! The on-site restaurant is more of a pub, sticky floors and over priced, was not clean and dark and dingy. The rooms have full kitchens so better to cook your own food.

Don't eat at the "restaurant", terrible!!
Hotel was nice, lovely bed and clean room. Was very disappointed in the restaurant. It was more like a cafe to be honest. I ordered the butter chicken thinking it would be good as the staff was Indian and its an Indian dish. My mistake! Rice was obviously reheated and watery like mush(rice shouldn't be reheated its a health hazard), the butter chicken was insipid with no taste. (I make it much better at home myself) I told the waitress and was told everyone loved it. The manager didn't even ask how everything was when i went to pay, I thought they might discount the meal at least, but nothing was said and I paid the full $24 which was a rip off for a terrible meal. All in all it really ruined the stay and decided not to chance and pay $17+ for breakfast. I won't ever go back. The hot tub was closed also. I should have got something from the little store/gas station up the road.

Dear Susan thanks for the feedback. we are sorry you were not happy with the restaurant. we have a people around the world working here in our lodge. first of all a server if you find herself as Indian that does not mean that she is the one who is cooking the butter chicken for the guest. we know all the people are having different taste buds so you taste might not be same as the other guest, but still all the people who order there butter chicken they had given excellent reviews about the butter chicken. the same day there was couple of other people order and still we have not got any complaints. if you don't like the taste that doesn't mean your eligible for a discount, if there was a problem with the food then only discount applies. we are sorry the hot was not working the next day it got fixed as well.

The property nestled in the picturesque Cyprus Hills park close to the lake has very much a lodge feeling. The accomodating staff make every effort to make the stay an enjoyable one. A great place to meet up with friends or share time with family.

Disappointing
We went exclusively to use the hot tub which we found out wasn’t working but we were unaware. They moved us to a room with a jacuzzi and the key card lock wasn’t working so we had to move again. The hours for the restaurant were different then the sign on the door and so they closed the restaurant an hour early so we didn’t get to eat breakfast. They couldn’t tell us why the restaurant closed early and offered nothing for us. If it wouldn’t have been asking for upgrades or perks they wouldn’t have offered anything. Second time we stayed - second time it was very disappointing accommodations. We likely will never go for a third visit and tell others the same. Which is too bad because its a nice short drive from home.

Yearly Vacation
We stay here every year to take in Elkwater parks’ many winter amenities. Our rating dropped a notch this year as the pool is in need of some TLC. Filters are ransacked with hair, hot tub is at room temperature, tile floors are grimy, and the liner in the bottom of the pool is lifting in all areas. Overall, still one of our favourite vacations of the year and already booked again for Christmas 2023.

We have stayed here once before in the fall and the park area was beautiful, that is still true in winter; however, we were there for an early Christmas meet with family and we’re disappointed in how the condos were equipped or NOT well equipped. When we stayed in a two floor loft unit before it was well equiped with salad bowls, carrot peelers, lots of glasses and cups and the broken coffee pot was replaced when we said it didn’t work. This time, we booked a fireplace queen room which had a tiny 4 cup coffee pot and one bag of bad coffee *seriously change your brand! On day two of our stay I met house keeping staff in the hall and said there was no need to make up the room but we wanted another coffee for the next morning. She acknowledged me and said she would get that but it never happened. This room also needed a couple of breakfast plates. The fridge and sink and microwave suggest it’s a mini kitchen but it wasn’t very functional. The double condos my niece had rented for family were a nice layout but lacked many kitchen items. Perhaps an inventory list is needed as they are set up for each guest’s booking. Also in the winter the hot tub is a selling feature and it was unfortunate it was broken the entire time. Everything was clean and the snow was shoveled but considering our family of 13 were virtually the only guests, one would think a coffee bag would be manageable -I had brought my own coffee but if I go again, I need filters and bowls and plates ….

Would have rated the property/room excellent except the shower curtain rod kept falling down once the curtain got heavy with water. Also the toilet did not flush well and had to unplug it once and then be very careful and flush often . Overall would have rated the property and stay excellent.
