In a heady list of the top 25 hotels with exceptional service in Canada, Cranbrook’s Elizabeth Lake Lodge recently was ranked as #9 on the list put out by the website, TripAdvisor. They were listed along with the likes of #1 Abigail’s Hotel in Victoria, the Antigonish Evergreen Inn in Nova Scotia and Toronto’s Trump International Hotel and Tower.

Elizabeth Lake Lodge has been a consistent winner of a number of TripAdvisor awards over the years, a fact that is reflected in reviews such as these:

“Wonderful charming place to stay in Cranbrook”

“The best owner operated motel we've ever stayed at.”

“We're excited to announce that once again we are included in the Top 25 hotels in Canada for TripAdvisor's Best Service Category! A big thank you to all our staff for your dedication in helping us achieve this award,” said owners George and Rachel Freitag.

Located on the south entrance to Cranbrook, the Freitag’s purchased the former Ponderosa Motel in 2004 and subsequently transformed it into one of Cranbrook’s most popular hospitality destinations.

Much of Elizabeth Lake Lodge’s success is driven by the fact that they have over 275 reviews on the popular lodging website TripAdvisor and the vast majority are overwhelmingly positive based on actual visitor experiences to the lodge.
