• Kim (10/5): Beautiful place. Excellent hosts :) We will definitely stay here again. - The property was very clean and welcoming:) The owners were so nice, and easy to talk with. No negative feedback:) Everything was excellent
• Jean-Claude (10/5): -
• Lynn (10/5): It was so relaxing. I felt good as soon as I walked in. The hosts were so interesting to chat with. They were also very - Beautiful setting
• Brandon (10/5): -
• Ethan (10/5): Excellent - Open and loved the dogs Nothing
• Charlotte (10/5): Séjour reposant et mémorable, on aurait aimé pouvoir rester plus longtemps ! - très chaleureux, paisible et propre, avec une magnifique vue, que ce soit de notre chambre, du salon ou sur la route pour s’y rendre. Les hôtes étaient très accueillants, souriants et accommodants.
• Nick (9/5): -
• Graham (9/5): Excellent place to stay and a fantastic hub for visiting things in the Smithers area. Would come again. - Lovely property in a fantastic setting. The views were amazing. Nothing
• Simon (10/5): Great. - All good. All good
• Katie-Anna (10/5): This is a picturesque venue for a dreamland mountain view hideaway. - Morning coffee and a late sip on the porch facing the Hudson Bay Mountain was like living in a dream world. The seating available made it very comfortable and welcome to enjoy the view to our hearts content. The hot coffee ready all morning was a welcome smell and encouraged each day to start off with a positive and lovely vibe. The pool table, ping pong table, piano and the entire grounds were lovely to keep the kids busy and active which gave me times to get some work done during our trip. We loved our walk around the property on the pathways. The kitchen and laundry facility was a huge help to our family. We were able to bake some mac and cheese and have toasted bagels. You never know what messes can happen so we did do a couple loads of laundry mid week. So happy we chose Driftwood lodge over a hotel, my heart was full hearing the kids run around the property, laughing and letting out all of their energy, instead of being stuck in a small room. We will stay here again when we return to Smithers. Wish we would have had more time to walk around the property to the ponds, that is our fault for booking our days so full of activities.
• Sophie (10/5): - Très bon petit déjeuner
• michael (10/5): - Pretty setting beautiful log building with very friendly staff
• David (8/5): Our second time there. Will return in the future. - Very quiet. Great views.

• Gerald Haffner (10/5): Beautiful lodge with a stunning view! We loved it! - Everything was great :)
• Richard (9/5): - Location, friendly family, Relaxed, good breakfast. Quiet
• Simone (10/5): The lodge was beautiful, the view was exceptional, and our hosts were very friendly - Beautiful lodge, great local art work, extremely clean, and lovely hosts If there had been a hot tub to soak up the view with that would've really been the cherry on top! But we had fun playing pool and sitting around the fire instead :)
• Boris (10/5): Gewaltig schön! - Die riesige Lounge mit dem gewaltigen Kamin (der über 200qm große und sehr hohe Raum wird tatsächlich mollig warm) ist beeindruckend - und als dann noch atemberaubende Nordlichter zu sehen waren (die Lodge ist außerhalb von Smithers ein perfekter Beobachtungsort) war klar: Die Driftwood Lodge ist im wahrsten Sinne ein Highlight unserer Kanada-Reise! Dank an Yelena & Marc, an Sophie & Matt!
• Eberhard (10/5): Wonderful stay. Thanks to Yelena and Mark - Simply excellent!
• Solange (10/5): Beautiful property and lodge a short distance from downtown. - Loved the location just out of town in a rural area. The big main common room was lovely with its views of the surrounding farms and hills. The room was great; loved the comfy king-sized bed and ample space. We could have used another bedside table lamp though. Otherwise we really enjoyed the room.
• Becky (10/5): -
• Lawrence (10/5): See above - There are many things that made this property so nice. As we were arriving, I got nervous that we were driving out of the town proper. This turned into a bonus. While driving around 5 minutes we were to a rural setting with a beautiful view of the valley and the mountains to the west. Next, the room was spacious. Guests have access to a nice shared kitchen/utility room with complimentary washer and dryer. Finally, the hosts were very nice helping us with getting our e-bikes charged. I would highly recommend staying here if you are in Smithers. Nothing

There is also a deck on which you can sit to admire the view. The host is friendly and we had a wonderful stay. Minor thing, but the tap in the bathroom is hard to open without it going too far and spraying too hard.

Our bed was comfortable and the room was QUIET, even with the windows open. We were tired after several days of traveling and needed a good night of sleep. So glad we didn't book a hotel room in town, right on the highway ... The shower in our room was small - but it had plenty of hot water.

• Kim (9/5): A lovely restful place to stay - This is such a beautiful place to stay. Easy access from Smithers. Lovely room with all I needed, very comfy bed and quiet! Had a very nice breakfast as well.
• Kathrin (9/5): Beautiful place to get away - A bit outside of Smithers, this beautiful place is made for an extended stay to just come down and relax. Unfortunately, we only stayed for one night on our travels but would have loved to stay longer. Very friendly and helpful host. Clean, comfy, and thoughtfully decorated rooms, beautiful and inviting common room with a huge balcony with amazing views of the mountains. Great breakfast. Since it's quite a bit outside of town and they only offer breakfast, you'll need to bring your own food if you don't want to drive into town again. Unfortunately, there's no fridge in the room and only a very small bar fridge in the common area. Fortunately for us, we were the only ones self-catering. We recommend they buy a bigger fridge.

• Kristi (10/5): It was very cozy and comfy. - I slept like a baby. The beds are comfy and the bedding and towels are so soft and beautiful. I took photos of the pillow and towel tags because I wanted to order my own. The property and lodge are taken care of so well, and the place is spotless. I cannot forgot the views of the mountains are to die for. I will definitely be going back the next time I spend anytime in Smithers.
• Mark (9/5): Superb -
• Kirk (10/5): Excellent in all ways - Everything Nothing
• Lea (10/5): Extraordinary! - It is a beautiful lodge! The owners manage it themselves and have everything set up perfectly. It’s a very private property with no neighbors yet still an easy drive to Smithers. The beds are very comfy and everything is spotless. Mark and Yelena, the owners, are beyond amazing. For us they are new friends. Oh! The main living area in the lodge is gorgeous and roomy and comfortable. Such a peaceful and inviting place and experience. I recommend this experience to anyone who values authentic friendships and private beautiful settings.
• Christina (10/5): Thank you for the wonderful hostess, we had a great and unforgettable time . - Refreshing with seasonal fruits, farm eggs, very tasty homemake breads, and good coffee. Beautiful environment, eg. mountainview, landscape besides the lodge is beautifuly facilities, inside decorate with nature arts and outside with chairs to seat around to enjoy the quietness of the natural surroundings. I couldn't think of anything bad, this place is so extraordinary! You got to come to see and experience it.
