  • "The Deer Lodge is a great place to stay in Lake Louise." — source Expedia

    "This lodge is a real treasure: It is a very nice place to hang out after skiing in Lake Louise, I really enjoyed the old livingrooms one of which has a big fireplace which is always on, there is a gameroom with full-size snooker table, TV, music, etc, there is a nice little bar where one can hang out, a sauna, and an outside hot tub. This is the perfect place for cool snow-boarders and skiiers that don’t mind that the paint is a bit old and the rooms aren’t super large." — source Expedia
