Quotes from books, articles and comments:

"... the Lodge's rustic log cabins ... are most definitely clean, comfortable and cosy. Set in the shade of tall fir and spruce trees, the setting is near idyllic... Thankfully, the dining room at the lodge is one of the few of it's era that hasn't gone upscale with its menu. For the budget conscious traveller, that means a reasonably priced meal in a rustic setting most places charge extra for."
Rocky Mountain Retreats - Recommended Accommodation in the Canadian Rockies by Ken Schmaltz

"About the only place to eat in Kootenay Park (seriously) is the Kootenay Park Lodge at Vermilion Crossing. Among the new development here, the lodge remains a rustic, cavernous log building wrapped around a huge fireplace. The food is excellent, constructed with care by the fastidious owners. Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is restful. A great pit stop on the way to Radium or Invermere."
Avenue Winter Survival Guide Magazine

"...Everything tastes better in the mountain air of course, but the cooking here is exceptional, in a mountain-lodge, home-style way...It is a surprising menu in its diversity and a comforting list in its simplicity. Perfect for Kootenay Park..."
My Favourite Restaurants in Calgary & Banff by John Gilchrist

"... The restaurant's food was most tasty, and while the menu was not extensive, there was ample variety and a nice wine list. The clean, neat cabins have a main room with queen-size bed, casual chairs, and small bathroom; outside is a porch with chairs for mountain watching. Excellent service, leisurely pace, genuine rusticity, quiet atmosphere, friendly people."
Comment from Bob & Lyn Vivenzio sent to America's Favorite Inns, B&Bs and Small Hotels

"A homey, old-fashioned place. Nobody's in a hurry, nobody is pretentious. A perfect place to read, hike, and enjoy your cabin's fireplace. Reasonably priced for a popular tourist area."
Comment from Bill MacGowan sent to America's Favorite Inns, B&Bs and Small Hotels

"Thank you for preserving some rustic charm in the wilderness! It was such a welcome relief from Banff, Jasper & Lake Louise. We wish you much happiness and success here!

written comment from Stephen and Annina Zenches

"Hi Paul - Thank you, your Mom and all the staff for the hospitality on our two stays earlier this month. Kootenay Park Lodge (KPL) was the perfect starting and finishing point for our Rockwall hike - particularly the fabulous dinner the night we came off the trail !!..."
