We planned to spend
a single night here, our first in the Rockies after landing in
Calgary in early afternoon. The next day we headed deeper into
the mountains for three nights in a cabin, but enjoyed our stay
at Lady Macdonald so much that we cancelled our remaining reservations
and spent our last three nights here, too.
Peter and Tammy do a
wonderful job caring for their guests: the inn is in pristine shape,
the rooms are cozy, comfortable, and still spacious--the beds perhaps
the best I've ever slept in--and Tammy's breakfasts are fabulous.
Peter has a wealth of knowledge about the surrounding area, including
hikes, drives, tours, and restaurants, and is simply a joy to talk
with regardless of the topic.
We spent our first night
in the Three Sisters room under the turret on the second floor,
and enjoyed the panoramic view of the mountains to the south. We
spent three nights in the Vermillion room on the lower level, which
was equally comfortable, although obviously lacking the view. Each
evening, we sat by the fire in the common room and enjoyed a tray
of meats and cheeses, homemade chocolate popcorn, or other treats,
enjoyed a glass of wine or a beer from their private list, and
relaxed after a day in the outdoors.
I can't wait to return,
regardless of season.

This is our forth visit
to the Lady Macdonald Country Inn and as always it was magnificent!
Each visit has been in a different but no less elegant and cozy
room. The Grassi Lakes room was just what two newly expectant parents
needed. As always breakfast was the highlight of our days here;
fresh and homemade, what else could we ask for? As I write this
sitting in front of the picturesque mountain view and I donÕt
want to return to the hustle and bustle of city life. But I do
know that we will return and that makes leaving a little bit easier.
Thank you for another wonderful, relaxing weekend.

Perfect Weekend getaway!
If it wasnÕt for the sumptuous breakfast we wouldnÕt
have gotten out of the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in.
Thanks for the hospitality; we will be back for sure!

I had the opportunity
to stay at the Lady Macdonald Inn, and it was by far the most enjoyable
part of our trip to the Rockies. The owners, Tammy and Peter are
wonderful. The breakfasts are wonderful, and tastefully decorated.
The Inn is beautiful and our room had amazing views. We loved the
fireplace and the lovely porch. I have had the opportunity to travel
quite often, and my experience at the Lady Macdonald Inn was beyond
all expectation. The front desk staff was all helpful and knowledgeable
about the area, and Peter was able to recommend several hiking
trails for us to enjoy. We also enjoyed the tempting tea tray and
biscuits set out each afternoon!
