Beautiful spot - lovely facility with great ambiance and character. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and all amenities just perfect. The food was excellent and of course the hospitality wonderful. We even loved the sound of the rain on the roof and the many trains and the birds. Thanks for the lovely stay.

What a wonderful spot to spend the first night of our honeymoon trip! We are so impressed with everything, but especially to the attention to details and the obvious joy that Wayne and Heather bring to all they do. Storm's Cabin - great bed! Beautiful view - Thank you.

This is one of the most amazing places on earth to spend time. The best start to a week long honeymoon - stayed 3 days, wished we'd stayed all week. Amazing food each morning and delicious suppers, we ate here each night - the Alfredo EXCELLENT! The view is breathtaking and the cabin is cozy and the perfect size. The bed is so comfortable, best sleeps in a long time. Going out on the many boats around the lake is a must, the mountains and wildlife were stunning, we loved floating around the lake. Amazing honeymoon, gorgeous place, we'll be back for sure! Thank you to the two amazing hosts, we're jealous of this great spot you have. See you again.

My wife spotted the sign from the highway and we decided to check it out. We were planning on staying in Revelstoke but once we stepped into Storm's Cabin, we loved it. The bed was like a cloud, we had a very restful sleep. Yummy breakfast made with love was the perfect finishing touch. We will be back.

Thank you so much for being a place where we could call home away from home, if only for one night. The work and love you put into your land is nothing short of spectacular. You have inspired us to see what can become of the piece of land we ourselves own with a vision that is inside us. I am left leaving your gorgeous facility feeling refreshed and very inspired. My husband says "Oh no! When you feel inspired, that usually means work for me!" Thank you again for opening your home to us. We will hopefully be back again.

What a wonderful couple of nights we spent here on our honeymoon.The setting is stunning and we happily spent hours at the lakeside in the sunshine, taking in the surroundings .Seeing the salmon coming to the end of their journey was spectacular - makes our journey through the Rockies seem easy! Heather and Wayne have been lovely, striking the perfect balance between being there to offer friendly advice and recommendations and also allowing us space to enjoy the area together. Hopefully one day we can return to celebrate an anniversary!

We are indeed most fortunate to have chosen to stay at Griffin Lake Lodge. You offer one of the finest B&B's we have visited from coast to coast in Canada. Your hospitality and generosity are unsurpassed and the accommodations, grounds and scenery are breathtaking. Today we celebrate, beginning with your sumptuous breakfast, our 40th Anniversary. We could not have chosen better! Thank you so much.

Another big thank you for yet another wonderful few days. So many more happy memories to take away with us. Your food, accommodation and hospitality is perfection. Love and best wishes. See you again.

How amazing that our first stay in a "commercial accommodation" in Canada should be so relaxed, unassuming, homey...The whole feel of the lodge and surroundings are at one with nature. Just to sit and gaze at the scenery inspires well being. The homey atmosphere, encouraging guests to join in conversations so it is like being entertained at a friend's house - good food, good conversation, good views - and all so relaxed. Even the smoke from the Washington fire contributed - a misty haze on the mountain tops and a full orange moon. The lake looks like glass this morning.. It is hard work running a successful B&B (with dinner), but Wayne and Heather make it look easy. Thanks both for a memorable stop over.

Our stay in "The English Room" was a wonderful experience that we will take back to share with family and friends. The view of the lake and mountains was beautiful! It is evident that you have put extra effort into making everything inviting and making the room comfortable - the beds were cozy, the decor is amazing, the sitting area next to the window was perfect....The food was excellent - what wonderful cooking - the best we have had in Canada! The trains running through were a special treat as Joe loves trains and stops to watch them every chance he gets. This has been a very "unique" experience for us - our very first b&b. We will definitely be doing it more. I know that it will be hard to find other b&b's with the perfect setting, friendly welcome, good food and exquisite decor that you have here. Thanks!

Sometimes life surprises us with amazing, unexpected things - these past few days have been such an experience! We certainly believed staying here would be nice before we came, but everything was so wonderful, it is hard to put into words what a special part of the trip this was. We usually seem to hurry through everything that we do and get everything done, but here we were able to truly relax and enjoy everything. You made us feel tremendously welcome, and we appreciate that so much with the kids. You have a beautiful lodge and we will do everything possible to make it back here one day! Thank you for making this time so incredibly special. Best wishes.

Where to start....hhmm..I'm sure other guests have been in the same quandary, but let's try and sum up the quality of service extended to Kelly and I by yourselves. It all started when I called from Sydney, Australia with a request for accommodation for 2 nights from 30th April. Kelly and myself had browsed the Web for accommodation in the Revelstoke area and had narrowed it down to two possibilities; Griffin Lake being one of them. The location, scenery and activities are what drew us to it initially, but when I called and asked if Heather could fulfill our request (even though the B&B did not officially open until 1st May), I knew we had made the right choice. Nothing was too much trouble - "sure we can accommodate you a night early". Even extending to a third night just prior to our arrival was no problem. We were offered the Griffin Room - ground floor and appeared beautifully appointed from what we saw on your website.

When we arrived, Heather was there to greet us. A quick tour through the B&B reaffirmed our decision to choose Griffin Lake. Our room was as beautiful as the website promised, as was the rest of the house, resulting no doubt from Heather's natural decorating flair. The amenities, the service, the friendly hospitality all added up to make the perfect 'get-away-from-it-all' holiday. Then there was the location itself - the lake was resplendent in it's innate beauty with canoes available to fully appreciate it. Whilst Kelly, being a 'local' from Vancouver who had been through the Rockies before, was impressed, I, being a simple "tourist", was awestruck. Heather's cooking !! - we only needed to sample breakfast on our first morning to know that we were going to be spoiled.

The guest lounge room was inviting and warm, made even more so by the slow-burning wood stove. We thoroughly enjoyed your company that Saturday evening and found the history of the B & B fascinating. Wayne's efforts in renovating the old furniture mill were astounding. Nine months of hard labour is testament to the commitment you both have to this 'paradise' at the gateway to the Rockies.

In closing, we wish to express our sincere thanks for a wonderful weekend and look forward to returning again in the not too distant future.

In Louisiana, "lagniappe" means an unexpected, positive surprise. This lodge is truly a "lagniappe" experience. The exquisite detailing of the wood, the beautiful scenery, the scrumptious meals, down to the patter of raindrops on the awnings create strong powerful memories for us. It has been so much fun getting to know you and the other guests. It is evident that much love and care have gone into building your lovely home. Thanks for the wonderful time and the best of luck to the two of you.

From the delicious chocolate chip cookies to catching a "monster" Rainbow Trout, to playing fetch with Storm....this is truly a special place, run by special people. Thank you so much. We will be dreaming of Griffin Lake for months to come when we get back to Texas. Until we return....

OK, so where does a guest start? Maybe with the view...that's it; the beautiful mountains back dropping the rugged Canadian wilderness. Or how about the exquisite and creative decorating of the lodge that used to be a "pile of rubble". Perhaps it is the awesome home cooking that my waistline will never forgive you for! I won't even the mention the fantastic sleeps in the wonderfully comfy beds; the warm ambiance that coaxes the most varied and interesting conversation from all your guests; or the genuine warmth and congeniality that you shared that made us feel so pampered and at home. Uh- uh- none of that--it's the dog-that's right, it's Storm! We just love your dog!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thanks for all. God willing, we'll be back.

The only sad thing is that we have to leave...Heather and Wayne, thank you so much for an absolutely wonderful stay. The place is way gorgeous and the food was so good that we ate way more than we should...Thank you again.

What a privilege it has been to stay in this beautiful lodge and to enjoy your superb hospitality. You both love what you are doing and this is reflected in the welcome and in the beauty of your lovely lodge. We will always remember our stay. Our grateful thanks.

What a beautiful place! We stumbled across this place due to a down pour and not wanting to spend a night under wet canvas; the most fortunate discovery of our trip. The environment and atmosphere is perfect and the attention to detail, excellent! I am going to come back and get Heather to teach me how to cook. Wow! Both of you and your lodge are an inspiration. It is not a question of will we return, just a question of when. Thank you.

The lodge is like a spectacular jewel in a most unbelievable setting. Having only seen such beauty in pictures and paintings, I doubted that it really existed un-retouched. This visit's memories will be cherished for a lifetime. Thank you so much for such an experience.

Wow! What can we say - this is paradise. Your photos show how hard you both have worked to make it that way. This was the "perfect" spot for our 5th wedding anniversary. Your hospitality is fabulous! .........There is obviously a word or a phrase that describes the ambiance of the lodge itself, the majesty of the mountains and the serenity of the lake. I am not a linguist, but I don't think that German phrases can accommodate the feelings. The French have a phrase for it, I just don't know what it is. Marmots and dear have a single sound that covers it. I don't know that either; but I think it must sound something like "home". Thanks.

What a great way to spend my birthday! We wanted to see alpine forests, pristine lakes and snow capped mountains...we were not disappointed! The beautiful environment combined with your warm hospitality makes this the perfect getaway.

This is some kind of paradise. I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed staying here. You have created a superb place. The atmosphere, design, food and environment are all perfect. I have been in hotels from Havana to Delhi and can honestly say that this is a place that I will remember as one of the very best. A special place with special people and big ol' Storm keeping it safe.

Are we ever glad that we stopped and checked in! Your beautiful lodge and your hospitality in this spectacular setting on the lake have only been "balsam for the soul" to us. We shall remember our stay here as the highlight of our holiday. Thanks again Wayne, for the hiking trip and the delicious cooking, Heather. We wish you all the best with your future development plans of this site and we are looking forward to the next time that we make Griffin Lake Lodge our holiday destination.

Staying at the "Griffin Lake Lodge" in the Griffin Room beside Griffin Mountain, especially when your last name is Griffin, is certainly special. What a comfortable place, with wonderful hosts! Breakfast was delicious. Very relaxing environment. Off to the "Enchanted Forest".

Like the path we travel - it takes you to the mountains and you will look down into the valley and see Lake Griffin. God saw this place and just nodded his approval. Best of luck and may your wishes come true. Live and prosper.
