Our indoor and outdoor environments are relatively allergen free. If you do suffer from allergies we do suggest you bring medication along, inquire and let us know ahead of time. Our restaurant can also accomodate your food restrictions and allergies. 

We do have two friendly pet units, please let us know if you have a pet allergy.

We are in bear country and you may encounter bears from late April to early October, but primarily in May and June. Keep your eyes open when on the trails. As long as you allow them sufficient space and take the necessary precautions, they are rarely ever a problem. You can borrow bear spray at the reception. If you are concerned, do ask. 

Abraham Lake is not considered a safe lake for boating or swimming. Cold water, unstable shore lines, high wave action and driftwood require caution and experience. Every year it seems, people have to be rescued from the lake...

Smaller lakes near Nordegg (Goldeye and Fish Lake) are more suitable for (non-motorised) craft. Canoeing / kayaking on the North Saskatchewan River is also more for the experienced adventurers, as there can be great fluctuations in water levels, log jams, eddies, etc. to deal with.

You don't want to miss the Ice Bubbles on Abraham Lake!!

Abraham Lake is a reservoir, created in 1972 by the Bighorn Dam.

Fluctuation in water levels and rotting vegetation cause methane bubbles to rise up from the bottom throughout the year. In some locations, these make for amazing patterns in the ice when the lake is frozen and bubbles are trapped at different depth within the ice. Timing varies but generally a good time is from mid December to the end of February. Ice conditions often change though and it is NOT recommended to go on the ice unless quality and safety can be assessed with certainty.

 we do not offer facilities for camping or RV’s on our property. There is a serviced campground nearby at the David Thompson resort and some provincial recreation areas (Thompson Creek, Two o-clock Creek, Crescent Falls)

We offer discounts for stays of two days and longer.

We would love to work with you to create your dream event of team building event or simply a group reunion. Please inquire so we can discuss your needs. We have a maximal capacity of 18 to 20 guests.
