Alpine Meadows Resort

The rooms are comfortable and the kitchens are well-supplied. There are several nice walking paths (some short, some long), and a wharf with a canoe, several rowboats, and several kayacks. The hot tub won't open until the middle of May and the two saunas won't be operational until next year. The setting is gorgeous and peaceful so the drive up the well-graded road was worth it. We particularly want to shout out to the people at the front desk and to Sean (chef) and Alex (sous chef) for their breakfast buffet and their dinner menu and meals.

Alpine Meadows Resort is beautiful 😍. Family of four, two kids aged 8 and 11yrs. We stayed for 2 nights that saw the resort battered by an intense down-burst storm. The power went down and things were not looking great. However… Katie and her team were completely brilliant. They moved us to a different cabin that did have power and took care of everything for us before we even got to think about it. All the staff were super friendly and helpful; the food at the restaurant and bbq fireside grill (really delicious home made ranch dressing at the bbq grill!) was all great as was the breakfast selection. An all around very enjoyable stay:) Thank you Katie and team ❤️

We stayed in cabin 209 for 4 nights. The drive in from Clearwater really was not bad at all - having read some of the other reviews I was a little concerned, however it is a wide road with some gravel in places. I wouldn't necessarily be driving it overly speedily, however it was absolutely fine and certainly not as bad as has been suggested. When I mentioned this to one of the members of staff she said that alot of British guests say the same. It took around 30 minutes from Clearwater. The cabin itself was incredible - the spa bath in cabin 209 was a particular bonus! The location is stunning and the two walks from the resort are great (the 3rd sadly closed due to trees being down after a storm). The lake - rowing and kayaking were an added bonus. We saw beavers and flying fish while there. I would suggest self catering and bringing all the food you need unless you are happy to spend quite a lot of money in the boathouse. We ate their once - I really liked my chicken. All staff members we met were lovely and very helpful. For the drive out we took the other road (Barriere) but split off and took the Little Fort ferry. This road is smaller and more gravelly with cattle grids along it. I was less keen on this road but still 100% fine - no flat tyres. Our rental car is a 4x4 and coped well. We just took it slowly and the 2 car little ferry was a lovely addition at the end of our stay!

So, I’ll start at the beginning, the road! Don’t be put off by reviews. It’s pretty well made up, some of it is tarmac, and is a straightforward drive. I’m referring only to the section from Clearwater - we didn’t use the other access road so can’t comment. The resort is beautiful, a wonderful lake surrounded by mountains and trees, lovely log cabins, and lots of quiet time. There’s an alpine walk and a lakeside trail (which is a little more challenging than we expected) to enjoy, neither are over long. Kayaks and rowing boats on the lake can be used free of charge. Breakfast at the Boathouse Restaurant is good, plenty of choice and well prepared and you can sit outside beside the lake which is really nice. There are evening meals there too but we didn’t sample them - other guests said food was good. We had some tasty food at the Fireside Grill which is good if you don’t fancy the restaurant. Our cabin was very clean and comfortable. TV and wifi if you want it but you might just sit out on the balcony and enjoy the view. Aircon is very good and was definitely needed during our stay in early September. Add to this friendly and helpful staff throughout our stay and it made an ideal stop on our tour around BC.

What a fabulous place to stay ! Exceeded all of our expectations. Katie and Jamie gave us such a warm welcome and obviously know how to run a resort. Our children loved playing at the lake, and it was so nice not to be charged to take out paddle boards, boats, fishing gear etc. And super food and wine (and excellent margaritas!) at the boat house restaurant. Thank you all. We wish we could have stayed more than two nights. It was so much more than a ‘pitstop’ between Jasper & Whistler.

One of our favourite places that we stayed. Amazing log cabins and right in with nature. We sat out on our balcony and watched bears feeding in the fields. Free activities like fishing, kayaking, ping pong, basketball, swings etc. really friendly helpful staff and great food.
