Where Thoughtful Design Meets Natural Beauty
Designed by Vancouver architect Brad Lamoureux and opened in 2006— Cathedral Mountain Lodge is a purposefully crafted mountain retreat built to live in harmony with its natural surroundings. Using native logs, timber framing, and local stone, the lodge reflects the textures and colours of the Rocky Mountains and the Kicking Horse River valley. Large windows and vaulted ceilings in the Great Room and many cabins frame sweeping alpine views, bringing the beauty of Yoho National Park directly indoors.
Each handcrafted log cabin is carefully positioned among the trees along the riverbank, allowing the lodge to blend seamlessly into the forest and preserve the quiet atmosphere of the wilderness. This thoughtful design creates a rare balance of refined comfort and raw nature, giving guests a luxury cabin experience that feels deeply connected to the landscapes of the Canadian Rockies.
Home Away From Home
Each handcrafted log cabin is thoughtfully positioned among the trees along the Kicking Horse River, creating privacy while keeping the surrounding wilderness close. Wood-burning fireplaces, oversized windows and private decks make it easy to slow down, settle in and experience the Rockies from your own cabin.
Elevated Dining
The Riverside Dining Room brings fresh, seasonal cuisine into the lodge experience, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Kicking Horse River. From Market Fresh Breakfast to dinner after a day in the mountains, dining is designed to be part of your stay—not something you need to leave the lodge to find.
Fireside by the River
Unwind at Cathedral Mountain Lodge’s riverside firepit, set along the scenic Kicking Horse River and surrounded by towering Mount Stephen and Cathedral Mountain. It’s the perfect spot to end your day—listening to the rush of the water, taking in the mountain views, and enjoying a cozy fireside moment under the stars. Guests can purchase handcrafted s’mores kits at the Front Desk, complete with everything needed for a classic campfire treat.
Whether you’re relaxing after a hike or gathering with friends and family, the riverside firepit offers an unforgettable, authentic Rockies experience.
