Holds Small Or Large Groups, Sleeps up to 40, 8 Bedrooms, Separate Basement Suit

Payne Lake Lodge (20 minutes east of Waterton National Park) is only 3 Km off the beaten path (highway number 5) yet perfectly sequestered in the hills just above the well know fisherman's Payne Lake. It sits on nearly a quarter section of treed land just waiting to be explored and enjoyed.

It is rare to find affordable accommodations big enough to house more than one family. That's why we are unique and one of a kind. We are typically rented by family reunion groups but we also rent to small families or groups to. . We also have a cabin that holds up to six to eight people that can be rented separately. You may look at it on Vrbo 697699 and even another large lodge 3 km down the road that sleeps another 20 persons Vrbo 722581 and is very lovely with great mountain views and right on the highway
A full lodge booking (all 8 bedrooms including basement) is $875.00 per night for up to 30 persons plus taxes. Extra persons are 20.00 per person per night plus taxes. (children 2 and under are free) All prices are before taxes. The cleaning fee is 236.25.00 including tax. Though there is a cleaning fee our customers are still required to do a basic clean up before their departure. We provide a check list for this. At times we offer the lodge to rent by the room which is 250.00 per night for 4 people and 30.00 per extra person plus taxes. (This is offered on our off season only)
Priority is given to customers booking the full lodge and can be booked 2 years in advance. We have a minimum of two night booking.

We have 8 bedrooms with TWO large beds in each room as well as three futon couches, two extra double beds and one single bed in basement rec room. There are four bathrooms - one between every two bedrooms as well as a half bath. There is a lovely grand piano in the great room for musicians to enjoy. Our rec room has a full sized pool table, foosball table, t.v.s for DVD and video. Our fully equipped kitchen with two stoves, two fridges and another small kitchen in the basement makes handling large groups easy. There are multiple tables, chairs and sitting areas. There are five picnic tables on the deck with BBQ and a fantastic view overlooking Payne Lake and the Mountains. There are two fire pits as well. Paddle Boards and canoe are available for rental.
Most people rent this property because it is close to the famous and beautiful Waterton National Park but we have had customers tell us they loved just spending time at the lodge enjoying the pond, boats and exploring the hills.
This lodge is set up to accommodate upwards of 40 people plus customers are allowed to bring R.V.'s and put up tents for a charge of 30.00 per unit per day plus tax.
Towels are provided, folded sheets sets are placed on each bed for your use, garbage bags, toilet paper, hand soap are also provided. There is a laundry area which can be used for two dollars per load and customer provides own detergent.
It is our goal to make you feel completely at home and comfortable. Families come back again and again because it is simply one of the best locations, best priced, most accommodating large group facilities in the area. And..... there is SO MUCH TO DO in this little corner of Alberta! You and your family will love Payne Lake Lodge.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. A kitchenette is outfitted with a stovetop, a microwave, and a dishwasher. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.

Cheryl was awesome to deal with
We had an incredible experience at Payne Lake Lodge. The lodge was big enough for our family gathering. Cheryl was very attentive to our needs. She took care of stuff that required attention promptly. We ran into communication challenges exchanging and getting information via VRBO site but Cheryl and I manage to rectify the missing important details we required regarding arriving and entry to the property. Cheryl even offered her property for petting animals for my little nephews and nieces, weaving from their animal pets fur for both adults and kids alike and —— our experience with the wagon ride which we all enjoyed. She asked us to write our suggestions for minor stuff we noticed needs improvement. She was accommodating and delightful to deal with.

Perfect for large family
Our family of 34 stayed at the Lodge for a week and it was wonderful. There were plenty of comfortable beds and towels and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook anything we wanted! We filled the 3 fridges with food for the week and had plenty of space. We used the bbq outside one night and it was great. I will be totally honest- if you are expecting the Marriott - this is not the Marriott. It’s a well loved and well used beautiful country lodge. We had wasps and mosquitoes and all the things you’d expect to find in the country. We even had a little bat sneak in somehow but he quickly flew out when we guided him towards the door. Cheryl was quick to respond and so helpful (and apologetic for the bat) None of the country critters spoiled our stay - We loved the view and the location was perfect for our family. So much space and grass area for little ones to play. We had wonderful weather but even if it was bad weather there was so much room inside we would have played games and still had a terrific time. I highly recommend this place and would love to come back again with our family. ❤️

Perfect Micro-Wedding venue
My Wife and I booked this property as a place to stay and venue for a wedding with 20 people. The views were great, and the lodge was clean and well organized, with plenty of options for entertainment. Our guest loved the property as well, with lots of beds and bathrooms everyone was very comfortable. The host was easy to get a hold of and came and checked with us in the first night to make sure everything was good. Would recommend this property to anyone looking for a reunion or small gathering venue.

Amazing place
We had a great time at the Payne Lake Lodge! So many rooms and so many extra beds! Waking up to that view is breathtaking, the stars at night are amazing, we really enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is stocked with whatever tools you might need and there is ample place to sit in the dining area. There aren’t many outside lights, my parents had brought a string of Christmas lights which we placed on the deck, made hanging out outside wonderful. We loved that Cheryl came to greet us and answered any questions we had.

Beautiful spot for a family reunion!
The location is beautiful, with gorgeous views of Payne Lake and the mountains. The lodge was perfect for our family reunion with a large kitchen, two fridges, plenty of outdoor seating and lots of folding chairs and tables if we needed extra. We enjoyed the games and rec equipment (volleyball, football, pool,etc) as well as the grand piano. We also appreciated the excellent customer service and communication provided by our hosts.

The lodge is an amazing panoramic view of sky and lake from the main living room.
We had so much fun visiting on the expansive deck and beuatiful living space with our guests that set up a music stage beside the grand piano. We did live mic and were entertained by our very talented guests. We played games in the back yard and even set up a slip and slide for the children. The hosts were very accommodating and even brought medicine for one of our guests rhat wasn't feeling well. Great hosts great views and great times. Love love loved it all. Our 31 anniversary couldn't have been spent in a better place. Thank u Cheryl.

Payne Lake Lodge - great location for a family reunion
A bit off the beaten path - I thought we were lost as we drove up the gravel driveway- but such a beautiful location. The large spacious living area made for great times with family. The games room downstairs was great for the teens and the littles enjoy the large variety of videos and room to play with their toys. Two bedrooms on each side upstairs and mainfloor shared a shower and toilet between each pair, but it worked for the most part for our families. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and dishes. Coffee, sugar and spices were provided. We enjoyed preparing meals for the group. We loved the close proximity to Waterton Lakes Park, too. The disk golf course was a hit. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit as well. Cheryl and Eugene were very accommodating and helpful when we had questions or needed help with things. Overall we had an awesome holiday.😊
