Buffalo Mountain Lodge
This is was our second getaway from Calgary (I’m from Florida) and this place is peaceful, quaint, classic. It’s a true relaxing even in the blustery snow and the food (Conchgliette) was 10/10. We will return. Merry Christmas

Hidden Ridge Resort
This was our second time staying at Hidden Ridge Resort. We love the rooms, hot pools, and location. The only thing that could improve is the parking. It can be difficult to find a spot close to your unit (or at all) when it’s busy. But despite this, we will come back!
