Num-Ti-Jah Lodge

Only a few words needed - if you are a foodie, if you are a hiker or if you just like to go for walks and admire the view, this is the place for you. Great, unparalleled and friendly service and atmosphere ! Don’t forget to remove your shoes! Well done Bruce and team - and thank you!

A really wonderful place to stay. The best part - of an excellent lodge - is the young, enthusiastic and helpful staff. Without exception, they were utterly charming. Exceptionally good management too. The price is all-inclusive and all the food is delicious and generous. Dinner is a four course feast, but there are many nice touches, such as a good afternoon tea, and an excellent spread from which to choose your packed lunch. Rooms have been refurbished and are modern, tasteful and spacious. Lots of welcoming public rooms too. Don't be put off by the unfinished exterior and rough grounds, for it is a work in progress.

This is as much of a private paradise in the Canadian Rockies as we hoped for! Although day visitors stop by for sights and hikes, mornings and evenings were relished by the few staying in the lodge, including us. The food is plentiful and delicious. The staff very professional and personable. The rooms comfortable and spotless. We left this paradise and went to Lake Louise and felt we were in a tourist jungle! Such a contrast of atmosphere we would choose the Lodge at Bow Lake for any future visit.

We loved our stay here. The lodge is updated and perfectly blends a rustic look with new and modern furniture and finishings. Bruce and team were all so friendly and accommodating - the staff knows every guest by name. We enjoyed the communal dining and getting to meet other guests. The food was delicious and we were so full from all the meals and snacks. Great value for the price paid. The location is perfect for exploring the Icefields Parkway and a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the nearby towns. There is no TV, Wifi, or cell service which makes it even more special. Lots of opportunities to play cards, board games, read a book, or connect with each other. We will definitely be back!

The lodge has been completely renovated and is a delight to stay in. The location is spectacular, offering beautiful views of not only Bow Lake but the mountains surrounding the Lake. The Lodge has been renovated with an homage to it's interesting and historical past . The artwork that graces the walls were painted by either local artists or by individuals who were artist-in-residence when that program existed at the Lodge. The hosts, Bruce and Allison, have had 25 years experience running the Ohara Lake Lodge, one of Canada's premier back country lodges. They were wonderful hosts, and the rest of the staff were equally gracious and helpful. The food was excellent and the dining experience, which seats all the guests family-style at large tables, meant you got to meet and talk with a variety of interesting people. The wines were excellent also, pairing wondering with the entrees. So if you are planning a visit to the incredibly beautiful Banff/Jasper area you will find no better place to stay.

Lake. Louise is just not my scene although that’s where we were staying warm. We took a ride down the road or rather app and came across a gorgeous lake that looks like a mini lake Louise and there we found the magical lodge. I felt like I was in a western movie, not to mention that I got to experience a lake and ice peaked mountain without anyone in sight. I even took a swim I. The frigid waters.
