It was a beautiful new years eve celebration.
Travis, Fort Saskatchewan
It was enjoyable and quiet and everything we needed for our family get away. We need to enjoy the dining room next time as we hear it is very nice.
J. Stanton, Edmonton
We were housing a family group of 10 for a Christmas week getaway, for just 2 nights. The 2 bedroom chalet (w/loft) and one standard room in the Miette building perfectly met our needs.
K. Warner-Hudson, Edmonton, December 2009
The lodge is a wonderful place to stay, especially when it is decorated for Christmas and there is snow on the mountains. The dining room is outstanding, and the rooms are very attractive.
Anita, Edmonton, December, 2009
Our stay at the Overlander Lodge was one of the most memorable getaways we've ever had. The room was immaculate and the view was absolutely breathtaking. The food was exquisite and the service was top notch. We've done nothing but rave about the Overlander since our stay and have strongly recommended it to all of our friends. It has quickly become our favourite place to getaway! We even booked the same room for our weddinganniversary next July! And we are also thinking about renewing our vows there sometime! Thank you so much for making our weekend with you one of the best we've ever had!!
Kathy and Tony, Devon, November 2009
Thank you for an absolute wonderful weekend. The wine you provided us upon arrival was greatly appreciated. We enjoyed our walk down to the lagoon. Meals were superb. We plan to make this our get away experience every few months.
Richard and Monique, Leduc, October, 2009
Very nice to have Mr. Griffiths, take the time to stop by, Sunday A.M. while we were having breakfast for a friendly chat!!
That personal touch!! You really care about the people in your facility!
Trudy & Jerry, Meota, October 2009
As always an amazing weekend at the Overlander! The staff does everything possible to make your stay more enjoyable! Michelle in the dining room is fabulous! Very accomodating. And though I didn't get the names of the 2 girls at the desk, they were also very helpful!
Will be back again and again!
Lori, Edmonton, October, 2009
We have stayed with you for the past three years for the Opimian Society's "Romance in the Rockies" weekend. We have thoroughly enjoyed your excellent hospitality and food services.
Bruce, Crooked Creek, October 2009
Everything was FANTASTIC! Absolutely perfect!Your staff are wonderful and the lodge is gorgeous! It was just what my husband and I needed as a get-away. We plan to bring our children the next time! Thank you
Teodora, Sherwood Park, November, 2009
The staff were ALL lovely! I truly loved the location. It was great to have fine dining so convenient. Although we only had breakfasts there if we had arrived earlier on Friday or had an extra day we would have like to eat dinner there.
The owners should be proud of the accomodations/services they provide..... I've already recommended it on my Facebook page!
C. Lunan, Edmonton, October 2009
We really enjoyed the Miette package. It is a wonderful experience everytime we go up there. Your dining room food is also exquisite and the fireplace heating in the Miette Cabins is very enjoyable. The breakfast views are also quite inspiring. Thanks.
Ke and Joyce, Edmonton, October 2009
Thank you to everyone for making our Tenth Wedding Anniversary so special. Thanks to Clint for recommending the Mountain View room. The room was perfect and the morning view was a dream.
Thank you to all the very professionally trained staff, we felt like royalty.
From the room, the staff and the excellent breakfast (thanks Karen!!) our stay was the perfect way to complete my surprise Tenth Wedding Anniversary for my wonderful husband!
You facilities are world class! Congratulations everyone!
Jennifer and Keith, Hinton, September 2009
Our time there was very enjoyable - I have always wanted to stay at the Overlander but everytime I try to book - it was full. This was for my birthday even though it was 3 weeks early due availbility of rooms I was determined we were going spend a weekend at your lodge before the year was out Even though my absolute favorite dessert ran out before I could order - the evening food was outstanding - beyond excellent. I look forward to the next time
Karen, Edmonton, September, 2009
Wonderful place to stay, our daughter, husband and their baby daughter stay at the Overlander often as it is a perfect location to rest for the trip between Edmonton and Kamloops. Clint and his team are great ambassadors for the Overlander.
Arlene, Port Moody, September, 2009
We brought my husband's Mum & Dad from Ontario with us to experience the Rockies for the first time and staying at the Overlander Mountain Lodge was a real treat. We really enjoyed our Summer Mountain Getaway package - the four course meal and extensive wine list was excellent, the service was "top notch" and we were surrounded by beautiful views of the mountains and forest. The accommodations were clean and it was so quiet at night, sleeping was not a problem. We would definitely come back to this fabulous spot! Thank you.
Laura and Steve, Brandon, Manitoba, August 2009
It is a great place for a getaway. The accommodations were great. The food was excellent and the staff were very helpful. I would reccommend this place to anyone who wants a getaway place. Great Place!!
Orest, Edmonton, Alberta, 2009
We had a lovely stay at Overlander.Everything was as good or better than we expected. The chalet had everything we needed. The sofa bed was a bit wonky and the whisk needs replacing, but we had a great time there and the bbq was brilliant.We had no need to eat in the main lodge as we had all we needed in the chalet to cater for ourselves,which was ideal for us as a family of 6.
Maureen, North Yorkshire, August 2009
Beautiful views, exquisite cuisine, relaxed atmosphere and friendly and courteous staff! We will definitely return to the Overlander.
Noreen, Edmonton, August 2009
We came in with a larger group...10 on motorcycles from Chicago.....beautiful place, I am sure that you folks have worked very hard to bring it to this level!
Tom, Chicago, August 2009
My stay was fantastic. I was very pleased to see that there was no television in the room. It's nice to see a hotel that encourages its guests to do more than sit in the room watching tv, especially with all there is to do in and around the lodge. Thank you for a great stay.
Keith, Edmonton, August, 2009
Just keep hiring the kind of people that you have hired and keep the ones you have. Priceless!
Special thanks to Michelle in the dinning room. What a delightful and competent person. The service is excellent. The food and wine list outstanding. Plus the location. Wow! I can't say enought about Overlander.Thank you for making our trip so special.
Beth and Jim, Kentucky, August, 2009
It was great...thanks very much.
I will definately recommend it to others.
Tina, Edmonton, August, 2009
Thank you very much for your hospitality. If one day I am back to the area I will definitely stay at your property. Good service , friendly staff, very nice rooms and the views are just wonderful. Tetyana, August, 2009
We had a very pleasant stay at the Overlander. We opted for the deluxe summer getaway package. The view was beautiful and the service was exceptional. The room was very clean and I loved the log cabin feel. My favourite by far was dinner, absolutely fabulous!!!
Tracy, Red Deer, August
Overall your location is quite prime and I definitely would rather pay less and drive further away from jasper. would come back in the future.
Terence, Calgary, August
Thanks for a great stay. We have not visited the Overlander for the pasted couple of years and really appriciated the upgrades in the cabins. Great rooms, great value. The Dining was as exceptional as always ... loved the extensive wine list as well.
We have recommended the Overlander to many since our stay and will definately be returning. Brian, Grande Prarie, August
Beautiful location, very clean rooms, tasty cuisine & exceptional view from dining room.
Lorna, Edmonton, August
Everything was so nice. We had such a wonderful time. Our room was great with wonderful views. Ed and Sherri, July
My wife and I had driven by the lodge on numerous occasions and wondered what it would be like to stay there for a few days. Well, we did and we were very very pleased with the room, dining, view and the great staff.
Doug, Sherwood Park, June
Such a beautiful place! Our front desk greeter/server, Michelle was so much fun and so interesting!
Dinner was delightful and breakfast a treat!
Thanks again!
Julie, June 2009
Our time at The Overlander was amazing!! Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality and great food! You are in a beautiful location - well worth the extra drive from Jasper!!
Marlo, Calgary, June 2009
Would be hard pressed to find a better place to stay in the Hinton-Jasper area.
Gord, June 2009
You have a beautiful lodge! What a great experience. The food was exceptional. If I ever were to plan a wedding, The Overlander would be the place to have it!
Amanda, Edson, June 2009
We had a most wonderful weekend! We enjoyed the Overlander's friendly staff, cozy room, magnificient surroundings,and delicious cuisine. What a great package! We'll have to do this again.
Suzette, Edmonton, June 2009
Your lodge was beautiful and the surroundings very peaceful. We'll definitely be back!
Kathleen, Canby, Oregon, June 2009
Can't think of anything else as everything was perfect. this was our third or fourth visit and as usual we felt like we were with family. we were looked after by Laura, Audrey and Michelle mostly but realize there are people behind the scenes that we did not meet. Not sure whe our next visit will be but we look forward to it.
Lori, June, Sherwood Park
We really enjoyed sitting around the fire after dinner enjoying the view of the mountains with the fresh snow. The service is impeccable as is the friendliness of the staff (lots of fuss but no rush on our part!).
Jacki Johnson, May 2009, Edmonton
We can't tell you how much we enjoyed our stay at the Overlander! We arrived after an unexpected snowstorm and we were concerned about getting back to Banff the next day. We needn't have worried because your wonderful staff made sure that we had all the latest weather reports, road reports, and phone numbers that we needed. We had a totally relaxed evening, knowing that our needs were being taken care off. Your entire staff was exceptional in their efforts to do whatever they could to find answers to our questions and reassure us. First thing next morning Laura had talked to the rangers along the road and reported we would have no problem getting to Banff. We were so impressed with so many people and we hesitate to name names because we will undoubtedly leave someone out, but along with Laura, Natalie,and the other restaurant servers (Lori? and ?) working the evening of May 20th went out of their way to make sure our mind was only on the FABULOUS meal that we were served. Natalie even helped us with the internet connection. Our room was wonderful, the view spectacular, and we would not hesitate to recommend the Overlander as THE place to stay. (We have already told friends who are coming in August). It was truly impressive to see a staff that seemed to genuinely enjoy working with each other, and that also enjoyed providing the ultimate service to their guests. We won't forget our stay at the Overlander Lodge, and only hope that we are able to come back!
Robert and Sharon, May 2009, Maryland USA
Stay at Banff, drive the Icefields Parkway slowly then stay for ages at the Overlander then drive back the way you came. Seriously what else do you want from life?
Bruce, May, United Kingdom
The food was outstanding. The view was incredible, and the staff provided excellent service. We will highly recommend the Overlander Mountain Resort to our friends & family. Definitively worth returning to in our near future. Thank you for a wonderful experience during our stay.
Mike, Edmonton, 2008
Fantastic! We went to your resort for the first night of our honeymoon and we were blown away! Fantastic staff, amazing mountain views from our balcony, and from the dining room. We had a couple amazing meals, and had a lot of fun hiking around in the hills behind the lodge and we even saw a few deer. Great experience overall, and we will definitely be back!
James, Edmonton, May 2008
Absolutely loved our stay at the Overlander and will be recommending it to our friends and family. We were looking for affordability, comfort and a touch of class. We received this and more while staying at your lodge.
Thank you! Ryan T May 2008
WE HAD A LOVELY VISIT AT THE OVERLANDER AND WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THE STAFF FOR THAT. THE STAFF WAS FRIENDLY, THE SERVICE FANTASTIC, THE ACOOMODATIONS EXCELLENT AND THE VIEW FABULOUS. AS MUCH AS IT DID SNOW ON THIS SPRING GETAWAY THE VIEW WAS BREATHTAKING AND WE ENJOYED IT FROM OUR ROOM AS WELL AS FROM THE COMMON AREA - DINNING ROOM. THE FIREPLACE WAS VERY INVITING AND SURE WAS A DELITE TO RELAX BY AND WE SURE APPRECIATED THAT IT WAS LIT JUST FOR US.
WE WOULD LOVE TO COME BACK AGAIN IN A DIFFERENT SEASON TO COMPLETE THE OVERLANDER EXPERIENCE.
THANK YOU MICHELLE FOR THE FRIENDLY CHATS.
Ann St. Albert, April 2009
We always enjoy our stay at the Lodge, and always very much look forward to the excellent dining experience, accompanied by the fantastic views.
Brad & Darcee, Edmonton, April 2009
The Overlander is one of the nicest resort getaways we have stayed in. The service is superb, the food is delectible, and the peace and quiet is so tranquil. We visit as often as our busy schedule allows.I highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful, relaxing getaway.. Absolutley amazing......
D. Lidstone, Spruce Grove, March 2009
We thoroughly enjoyed our getaway weekend at the Overlander. The room was very comfortable, the dining was absolutely excellent, the people working in the dining room and at the front desk made us feel very welcome. The setting in the mountains made us feel like we'd really managed to "getaway" for some great R & R. We would definitely go there again. It would be nice to see it in different seasons. Pat, Stony Plain, March 2009
My husband & I have stayed at your lodge for our past three anniversary's and this time it was to celebrate a birthday. We have always enjoyed the hospitality of your great staff and the fantastic meals from your chef. This time was just as enjoyable as all the rest. We plan on spending many more getaways at the Overlander. Thanks for making our stay special. Ron & Patty February 2009
Loved the fireplace in the lodge. The people who served us throught the stay were attentive, friendly gracious and provided excellent service. Ken and Rose February 2009
It really was perfect and we will be back. R. Miller February 2008
Thanks for making a getaway weekend really easy and memorable. The gourmet dinner was exquisite, staff were professional and so nice, and the setting was quiet and romantic.
Thanks! Carmen, October 2008
You were the best stop during our trip to the Pacific Northwest!
Kathy S, Panama City, Florida, August 2008
Stayed in the mountain view rooms and then chalet 125. The rooms were just as advertised and the view stunning. We were very impressed with our chalet, clean, spacious and very welcoming. Wonderful holiday and excellent accommodation. Lynn, U.K., August
A breathtaking view of the area and a perfect and peaceful setting. Mr & Mrs D Flanagan, England, August
Our stay was relaxing and the view spectacular. The staff is very friendly. See you next year. Christopher, Stony Plain, September
Very charming stay , very friendly staff Carol, Saskatoon, September
We were on a motorcycle trip and we had a great experience at your location. The atmosphere was relaxing and very welcoming. Our rooms were perfect, large and had the most comfortable beds.
Your restaurant was the favorite dinner of all 8 of us who went! Thanks for the great service!
Mary, Washington, August 2008
We enjoyed our time, it was very nice for our family.
Jim and Jeanne, West Chester PA, August
Everything is better than OK as is. Staff are still the key to your success. Everyone makes guests feel welcome.
Gord, August
The Overlander Lodge is an incredible place. I have already told everyone how wonderful it is. I will recommend it highly to anyone who is visiting the area. The views are amazing and the staff is great. Thumbs up to our waitress Danielle.
Julie, Cornwall, August 2008
A great staff, very professional. interesting menu and amazing wine list. four stars
Travis St. Albert
I recommend the Overlander to my friends and enjoy bringing out-of-province visitors there. A meal in the dining-room, with its spectacular mountain view as the evening settles, is a perfect finale to an excursion to the mountains.
I am already thinking ahead to next summer.
One friend has said, "Count me in, for sure! " after viewing some photos.
Pat July 2008
This was our first experience staying at the Overlander Mountain Lodge as we regularly stay in the Jasper townsite. We greatly enjoyed the location, the beautiful view and how the lodge is nestled into a natural setting. We dined in the restaurant one evening and had a truly enjoyable experience. The fabulous food was accented by the impeccable service. Every staff member that we encountered, whether checking in, checking out or dining, was extremely friendly and made us feel comfortable and welcome. Overall, we had a wonderful stay at the Overlander Mountain Lodge and will definitely stay there again when we return to the Jasper area.
Kerry Edmonton July 2008
World class accommodations, views from Dining Room and guest rooms fabulous, bar none. A "jewel" in the Rockies.
Dan and Cheryl, Edmonton
What a perfect ending to our honeymoon. These memories will last forever. The dining experience was wonderful along with our room. What a gorgeous view from the dining room, you could just sit there for hours. Look forward to coming again and maybe we will even come for our 25th anniversary.
Jared and Melissa Janis
Martensville, SK
We had a wonderful stay (too short, only one night) from the warm welcome, to hike recommendations, to a lovely dinner, great staff, and a very pleasant room. Many thanks, and we will be back.
Irmtraud, Virginia, June 2008
Our Vacation to the Canadian rockies was simply breathtaking. We enjoyed the stay at Overlander Mountain Resort . The surroundings are beautiful. We will definitely try revisiting this place.
Sashi, Illinois, June 2008
Our party was very pleased with all aspects. The waitresses in the Dining area, were especially attentive to all our needs, and their very pleasant attitude was very welcome. The owners are to be complimented.
George and Pat Ebdon, Spruce Grove, June 2008
Thank you so much Mr. Griffith, we will definately be staying at the Overlander again, we have already recommended it to a number of friends and I requested a wedding package for my brother and his common law wife...LOL. The dinner we had was delicious, my husband selected off the Table d'hote menu and added the wine pairings....which he has never done before and loved the experience. Our server was fantastic, she suggested just the right wine for me. Quite frankly, all of your staff was !
great. With such great views, rooms, staff, food, service, and value why would anyone stay in Jasper?
Thanks again for a great stay, we'll see you some time in the fall/winter.
Shari, Edmonton, July 2008
Just a brief note to say we experienced the most comfortable feelings of homey ambience when we spent our Easter weekend at the Overlander.
Thank you again for the most attentive service and friendliness of all staff.
Our Easter weekend vacation was one of the most romantic getaways that we have had in a very long time.
We will definitely visit again ~ hopefully, in the very near future.
Wishing you much success and never-ending memorable great times had by all.
Thank you.
Annette MacFarlane-Smith & Dale Syrota
My girlfriend and I stayed there two nights. The lodging is beautifully constructed, the views are incredible, and the service couldn't have been better. I will definately stay with you again. Thank you for a great experience! Ken and Tabitha, Edmonton, May 2008
Our 2 night stay was very enjoyable, the location is close to Miette Hot Springs. So we didn't have to go all the way to Jasper. The Service was 5 Star and above with friendly staff who ensured that we received prompt and friendly service.
Our meal was excellent and all Kudos to your chef. The meal was not rushed. The wines were excellent.
We will be back and hopefully the weather will cooperate so we can check out the trails in the area. Ken and Barb, Edmonton, May 2008
MY WIFE AND I WISH TO THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN . I LOVE THE LOCATION THE VIEWS ARE SPLENDID,YOUR DINING ROOM IS GREAT AND THE STAFF ARE FANTASTIC .HAVE TOLD EVERONE AT HOME ABOUT YOUR LODGE AND THIS WAS OUR SECOND TIME IN 7 YEARS AND NOTHING HAS DIMINISHED ONCE AGAIN TO ALL THE STAFF THANKYOU. MIKE AUSTRALIA MAY 2008
A thoroughly enjoyable setting, in all respects, while we entertained ourselves celebrating our 55th Wedding Anniversary!
We enjoyed the privacy; the classy setting; the thoughtful attention of the pleasant staff and the peace and quiet! Thank you! DF St. Albert May 2008
I love the tranquility of the place, the peaceful atmosphere, the no smoking, no tv or telephone. A refuge away from home for sure!
Excellent staff.
Darlene, May 2008
The staff was very helpful and accommodating, we really enjoyed our stay with you! We will definitely be back! BO J, Saskatchewan, May 2008
It was a beautiful place to stay and the dinners were wonderful! Ann, Columbia, USA, May 2008
Thank-you for the hospitality. The snow covered trees outside our room were lovely. The dinner was excellent. Carmen April 2008
The stay was fantastic, three days and each day the mountains and scenery changed as the weather did making each day unique. The Lodge is cozy and warm the staff courteous and helpful. We would go back anytime and plan on going back in the future. - Warren March 2008
We had our meals in the Chalet which was very nice. It was a very homey atmosphere and we really enjoyed ourselves. I can't rate your restaurant because we never ate there. We toured Jasper and went skiing at Marmot Basin. To stay there as a single family would be too expensive but with the two families it was an excellent value. We really enjoyed the stay. Doug March 2008
Clint! My wife enjoyed our stay at the Overlander Mountain Lodge, and although our first visit, it will not be our last. The atmosphere of a warm fire while enjoying a glass of wine, prior to a great meal are a winning combination. We have shared this with many friends and family and encouraged others to make this a weekend stop as well. I certainly would be interested if property in your location comes up for sale, as the views are fabulous!
Doug S. March 2008
Your establishment is a wonderful get away from the normal hustle & bustle. Staff are friendly & warm, & the evening meals are amazing. We have already referred a number of people to your establishment. I would recommend that you have your restaurant available for a choice of brakfast, not everyone enjoys a continental breakfast . Everything else is perfect.
Dember March 2008
We thought the Overlander was fabulous. We loved the intimacy of the setting and the lodge. The surroundings are great and we are considering future event plans for the lodge (i.e. large family trip or wedding). Also, the extended beer menu was great and a real treat. Sarah and David April 2008
Livi in reception and Michelle in the dining room gave us exceptional, friendly service, which really made our stay memorable. It was nice to meet Mr. Griffiths, too. Alan April 2008
