Emerald Lake Lodge, Hot Tub, Field, Yoho Mountain Resort, Canadian Rockies, Canada

Emerald Lake Lodge

B&B, Motel and Guesthouse
The Canadian Rockies, Canada

Dating back to the times of gold prospectors and explorers, Emerald Lake Lodge oozes history and occupies a magical location on the shores of Emerald Lake.

The 24 lakeside timber cabins can accommodate up to 200 guests and each of the simple but comfortably furnished rooms has a fireplace and private balcony.

The cosy communal areas house huge stone fireplaces from years gone by and traditional verandas make the most of the breath-taking views.

Why we like Emerald Lake Lodge

Quite simply, Emerald Lake Lodge has an incredible location with the highlights of the Rockies right on the doorstep. It’s a wonderful hotel for families and couples alike.

Wilderness

A collection of one, two and three-bedroom private log cabins and cottages that sit perched on a private peninsula in scenic Algonquin Park, Killarney Lodge is a retreat fit for adventure travellers. Offering personal canoes, fine country dining and the kind of service that could only come from a family-run establishment, the private knotty pine cabins and woodsy cottages are sprinkled throughout extensive grounds. All at once serenely peaceful and a hub for organic adventures, the land is known to attract everything from chipmunks to black bears. An impressive restaurant serves up tasty home-cooked meals, and a small beach acts as the launch-point for kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and even wild swimming.
