Sundance Lodge

"What a relaxing and secluded place to kick back in front of the crackling wood stove after a 16km cross-country ski (or 10km from the alternate trailhead). My partner and I spent one night at Sundance Lodge for a special birthday. Meals were superb - fresh baked cookies on arrival, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding for dinner, full breakfast with eggs, bacon and blueberry muffins, and a packed lunch for our ski out." - @42travellerT (TripAdvisor) 📸: Jonny Bierman

Was the most exceptional experience riding up there with josh price as our guide my sister and I were stunned by the scenery and Amy's cooking when we got there was superb. Was a truly exhilarating but relaxing experience. Amazing experience!!

The whole experience of riding up to the Sundance Lodge in the very capable hands of Ali, having steaks on the BBQ at our lunch site, negotiating the - in my opinion rapid - river crossings and finally arriving at the Lodge to be greeted by Amy & Mitch is going to be an everlasting memory for my wife ( Mel) and me. We had an awesome 3 day stay, fantastic meals prepared by Amy, amazing scenery, brilliant sunshine, a visit from a grizzly on our first night made this trip to Canada well worth the effort. We were celebrating our silver wedding anniversary and had a choice of Hawaii or Canada, I'm so glad we chose Canada. There was four in our party, the two others being Maggie from Switzerland and Andrea from Canada made for a cosy number. If you are looking for something challenging and enjoyable at the same time then this is a must. Thank you Warner Stables for giving us three amazing days of unforgettable memories.

Sundance lodge is a cozy get away and relaxing experience. I have multiple dietary restrictions and the chef Steven did an amazing job of accommodating my allergies. I never felt uneasy about what was in the food that was served. Steven and John were very welcoming and accommodating hosts.

Sun dance is a huge homey log lodge with awesome hospitality. The ride to the lodge is easy but scenic. The food is 1st class.

Snowshoed in and out of the lodge. Spectacular scenery. Skye looked after us so well. Great food (she made us vegan options) and warm hospitality.
