Our lodge is family owned and operated, built from a love of the mountains and the belief that everyone deserves a place to feel at home in the wild. From the warmth of a welcome smile to the care in preparing a homemade meal, every detail reflects the heart of the family who calls these peaks home. Hosting here is more than a business — it’s a way of sharing the serenity, adventure, and simple beauty of mountain life with every guest who walks through the door.

Discover a hidden gem in the Canadian Rockies — a mountain retreat where serenity meets adventure. Nestled along the banks of the Panther River, our lodge offers a rare balance of untamed wilderness and refined comfort. Guests often say it feels similar to Banff, but without the crowds — a place where the mountains rise just as high, the rivers run just as clear, yet the only sound you’ll hear is the wind through the trees. Our accommodations range from cozy riverside cabins and glamping tents to nightly and seasonal campsites, each designed to immerse you in the alpine atmosphere. Step outside your door to find endless opportunities for exploration: horseback riding through pristine valleys, helicopter tours over rugged peaks, hikes to alpine meadows, and fly fishing in untouched waters. At the end of the day, gather around a crackling fire, share a handcrafted meal in our on-site restaurant, or simply sit beneath a sky full of stars. Whether you’re seeking an unplugged family getaway, a romantic retreat, or a basecamp for your next mountain adventure, Panther River Lodge offers more than just a place to stay — it offers a chance to slow down, reconnect, and experience the Rockies the way they were meant to be enjoyed. With no crowds, no rush, and no compromises, your time here is yours alone.

While Banff is just a scenic two-hour drive away, our valley feels like an entirely different world. Here, you’ll find all the majesty of the Rockies without the bustle of tourist streets. Panther River Lodge is surrounded by endless wilderness — towering peaks, rushing rivers, and miles of trails where it’s not unusual to have the view all to yourself. Instead of lining up for parking or weaving through crowds, you’ll step straight into nature. Ride horseback into alpine valleys, hike to waterfalls, fish in crystal-clear waters, or simply relax by the river’s edge. When you want the vibrancy of Banff’s shops and cafés, it’s an easy day trip — but when you return, you’ll be grateful for the peace and quiet that make our valley so special.
