Bloedel Ripple Rock Trailhead Hotels

"Our stay at the resort felt like stepping into a dream we didn’t want to wake up from. From the moment we arrived, everything seemed designed for quiet romance and effortless comfort. The staff welcomed us with genuine warmth, and it set the tone for the entire experience. Waking up beside my girlfriend to the soft morning light and the sound of nature just outside our balcony was something special. We spent slow mornings sipping tea with a view that didn’t feel real, and unhurried afternoons exploring the grounds, finding little pockets of beauty everywhere, hidden gardens, serene pools, and perfect spots to just sit together and exist. What made it unforgettable wasn’t just the luxury (though everything—from the room to the food—was exceptional), but how easy it was to feel connected. Whether we were sharing quiet dinners at CARVE meatery, or laughing over nothing in particular, the resort created a space where time slowed down and everything else faded away. If you’re looking for a place to reconnect, celebrate love, or simply escape the noise of everyday life with someone who matters deeply to you, this is it. We left with full hearts, incredible memories, and already talking about when we can come back."

"hot breakfast was bare minimum, avg. sausage, scrambled egg(ish?) and potato. toast, waffle, juice and coffee. none of the handy continental breakfast staples like fresh fruit, muffins, yogurt,and all the usual items. ie, nothing you could take out with you to maybe enjoy later or in your room. you can order off the menu for a discount, but now your paying for something that's basically supposed to be included. We thought this room was on the high side for what is a very basic room. This property is about to be branded a Best Western we were told. If the prices go up, which is probably likely, it will fall out of our value picks."

"The rooms bed was not clean, under the pillows there was hair. Other than that it was a good stay. They wanted to give me a free meal on my next stay, but being from Newfoundland i will be a long time before returning. "

"Experience was great.😁"

"Beautiful place to stay, can’t wait to come back in the summer months."

"Great place overall - good room, breakfast, pool & hottub. Staff was esp friendly with Ashley at front desk going extra mile for our reservation change & the chipper chap in the morning "

"Great"

"Exceeded expectations. Clean, comfy, quiet, kitchenette well equipped, warm, dog friendly. Loved the decor with touches of driftwood and succulents, sweet private greenhouse, old fashioned teapot, and washer/dryer all in one. Close to parks, shops, and Elk Falls. Easy drive into mountains on HWY 28, an hour at most to reach Strathcona Park."

"Dated and a bit tired, but good sized cabin, clean and functional. Good stocked kitchen and great location within walking distance of Cortes ferry and grocery store/cafe. Like other reviews, yes, mattress is hard and bedroom curtains need to be thick/darker. Off season kitchen closes at 7pm so plan accordingly! "
