A place like no other! Amazing! The room was clean and inviting. The staff were very friendly and helpful! The view is spectacular. Very quiet and quaint. Scotsburn’s hidden treasure for sure! Would definitely recommend for a place to stay. You won’t be disappointed

Absolutely worth it!

Smith Rock is absolutely beautiful. The drive up to the chalets you instantly start to relax. Upon arrival the staff were kind and very accomodating asking if there was anything they could do for our wedding the next day. This instantly created a relaxed feeling that carried throughout the next day. We were supposed to get married outside however mother nature had other plans. The staff opened the doors to an absolutely beautiful space inside without hesitation offered to set up anything we needed or rearrange anything that we wanted. They gave us privacy and ensured we would not be interrupted. The property provided us with ample opportunity for pictures that were absolutely beautiful. 
The chalets were perfect and the view is stunning!! Very clean and cozy.  
We cannot wait to return year after year to relax and explore the hiking and biking trails located on the property.
Thank you Smith Rock staff for helping make our special day a memorable one!

Wedding weekend getaway

Me and my husband visiting Smith Rock Lodge & Chalets at least 4 times a year. Most the time when it is wintery outside. Great little chalet with fireplace, very warm and cozy. Also they have a hot tub, lovely on cool evenings to sit in it with glass of wine and look at beautiful sky.
Never been there at summer time, but sure it is as lovely as at winter.

Great place 

We stayed in Chalet #7 and enjoyed the spectacular view.  The hot tub was wonderful as were the trails surrounding the property.  We had high expectations of the stay and they were exceeded.  Great job Cathy and team!

The place is beautiful and the staff was very friendly!

Was recently there for a work retrat and had a great stay and this off the beaten path place.  Having never been, i did not know what to expect.  This place exceeded my expectations.  I stayed in the lodge rooms and they were clean and warm with a huge whirlpool tub!  Only complaint was the loud fan on the heater/cooler.  I shut it off and had a good sleep on the very comfy bed.  The chalets were also very nice and would love to come back and stay in one of those.

I would recommend this place for a getaway or a work retreat.  We enjoyed amazing service and food from the staff.  Top notch!

Beautiful property, clean rooms, excellent staff!

The place is well off the main Scotsburn Road and not very well signposted but we made it up to the top. We had a one bedroom Chalet but, looking back, could have taken the cheaper single room in the Lodge. We didn’t see this option when we booked. As it’s quite a distance from anywhere, we had brought enough food to see us through the stay and ate in. There are plenty of pots, pans, plates and crockery to use. The building is relatively old and was quite hot all the time. Apart from roof fans, there wasn’t much in the way of cooling.
The views down to Pictou and the bay are worth the trip up and there’s plenty of chairs to use to watch. The hot tub is a relief after a day travelling.

A bit rustic but ok.Great views.

Our hot tub spots close to us were all booked so we ventured further and found this gem for our first anniversary :)  While there was much more Winter there than we expected, it was ok for our 4 wheel drive. Biggest disappointment is that we didn't bring a sled.  The Gunn cottage was very clean, fully equipped and the wood box was full.  While the hot tub isn't private we lucked in and were the only ones using it that evening.  It was plenty hot and it was a perfect cold clear night for it.  The heated change house was super to keep our towels and robes warm.  
The property did offer amazing trails but since it was hunting season and our footwear was not Winterized we had to opt out but will be making a trip back to explore some more.  The only downside is that the lodge does not serve any food or stock a basic pantry.  Since the cottages are equipped for cooking it would be nice to have a small pantry available in case you forgot something from home.

Anniversary Stay was Lovely :)

We went with a family of four- two adults and two toddlers. The views are beautiful and everything is super clean. The pool is awesome. Only downsides: hot tub wasn’t overly hot and if you have young kids there isn’t really a good play area for them- an older play fort in some trees. Overall we’d go back but we’d bring more toys for the kids or maybe just go with adults.

Beautiful views, clean accommodations

I stayed at Smith Rocks Chalet on Aug. 15 and 18, 2023. I had originally booked this place because my elderly mother cannot stand traveling more than 4 hours in a car at the time.  This was sort of a half way point for us as we were staying the rest of our trip in Cape Breton.  Sandy and his sister are real nice hosts however I did find a few things wrong with the accomodations. We stayed in the sam room both times we were there.
For one the room was very dusty and whoever cleans the room just does a quick job and doesn't take the time to do a thoroughal cleaning. The floors were even dirty.  The blind in the room was ripped and needed to be repalced. It mentioned that there was an ironing board in the room, however there was none to be found.  In the bathroom was a garbage can made out of wicker that was all torn to threads and should of been thrown in the garbage.  
As my mother was traveleing with me and my sister, and my mother being older there was no provision for her such as grab bars in the tube and by the toilet.
I brought these concerns to the maintence man as he was helping with the cleaning the first day that we checked out.  I expected these concerns to be addressed and corrected before I checked in on our way back from Cape Breton but were never adressed.
The only thing that was provided was a night light, as I asked to have one as the place was dark when you turned off the lights and my elderly mother has to get up to go to the bathroom quite frequently in the night.

Bad Experience at Smith Chalet

The chalet was clean.  The bed was lumpy and hard.  Very little water pressure in the shower and the water was just warm.  The towels were old, thin and felt like cardboard.  Ants everywhere and one tiny ant trap. We were attending a wedding and had to stay.  I went to the office at checkout (where I met up with two other couples that were also there to voice their complaints). The owner didn’t not seem too overly concerned.  I expected an apology at most and possibly a reduced rate it we wanted to return but received nothing.  I told her I just paid $638 for 2 nights to stay here.  I could have gone to a 3rd rate all inclusive resort in Cuba for a week for $200.00 more.  She smiled.  We will never recommend this place to anyone.
