Deer Lodge is just minutes away from world famous Lake Louise. The lodge is a testament to a bygone era, and retains much of its original hand hewn log structure and decor. Built in 1923 as a teahouse, the lodge officially opened as a hotel in 1925. Deer Lodge was completely renovated, restored and winterized in 1985. It is beloved by international and local guests for its unique rustic mountain accommodation.
In all, these charming elements are the reason so many repeat visitors, local and international, can’t seem to get enough of our mountain property.

Majestic and alluring, the wilderness surrounding our lodges remains largely unspoiled. Tumbling creeks, stunning and bracing mountains, and clean air make it a paradise for hikers and back country skiers alike. Here are just a few of our favorite destinations and activities.
Explore the Canadian Rockies in every season! Conditions for winter activities in the Rocky Mountains are typically best between the first of December and the middle of April. Conditions for summer activities are usually best between the beginning of June and End of September. All seasons, however, offer opportunities to explore and enjoy the mountain parks of the Canadian Rockies.

Spring Activities
|
Spring in the Rockies comes later than in most places, meaning there is still plenty of time to ski, snowshoe or cross country ski until April or May. The ski hills have a great snow base and soft powdery snow continues to coat the runs. With less of a nip in the air and longer days, Spring is the perfect time to try and visit the Canadian Rockies. |
Winter Activities
|
Late each fall, our lodges settle in for the winter. They nestle under a thick blanket of snow. Inside, our guests are warm and cozy beside a crackling fireplace. The calmness and serenity of our mountain surroundings grow with each snowfall; the natural beauty of the parks is redefined during this quiet, peaceful season. Heartbeats quicken and faces glow with the exhilaration of myriad outdoor pursuits: skiing – both downhill and cross-country, skating, dog sledding, ice climbing, and hot-tubbing. |
Summer Activities
|
Summer in the Canadian Rockies offers countless opportunities to explore mountain trails and lakes. Stunning mountain vistas are the perfect backdrop for your next outdoor adventure. |
Our lodge features three rooms that can accommodate weddings of up to 88 people. Accommodations feature twenty-four cabin-style buildings that surround the original lodge – which include eighty-five guest units built to reflect the traditional architecture of the original building. Each room features a fieldstone fireplace, cozy down duvet, and a private balcony with a spectacular mountain view.
For those hosting smaller weddings who wish for an outdoor ceremony, we offer a small area located on the shores of Emerald Lake’s famous jade-coloured waters.
Treat your guests to our renowned Rocky Mountain Cuisine (let us help you design the perfect menu) and award-winning wine list.
