About this lodge

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 and weddings but we also rent to small families or groups as well.
A full lodge booking (all 8 bedrooms including basement) is $1195.00 per night for up to 30 persons plus taxes. Maximum of 40 persons allowed, if more than 30, there is an extra person fee of 30.00 per person per night plus taxes. (children 2 and under are free) You will need to let us know if you plan on bringing more than 30 persons. All prices are before taxes. The cleaning fee is 250.00 plus 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 up to 4 people . (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 also manage a large lodge 3 km down the road that sleeps another 25 persons Vrbo.com/722581 and is very lovely with great mountain views and right on the highway. Please inquire if you need more space or need dates that that this lodge does not have)
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 Gas BBQ and a fantastic view overlooking Payne Lake and the Mountains. There are two fire pits as well.
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 the immediate area.
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.

We loved the view and the play space for the kids. We had a lot of fun outside. The horses visiting was lovely for the kids. Kitchen was well equipped. We were able to feed everyone out on the deck with all the picnic tables and the blackstone and bbq Bedrooms were set up well with the two beds and have us room and beds for everyone.

6 / 10Average·Jul 2025
The location is stunning, and the house itself is spacious and comfortable. However, there is definitely room for improvement in terms of cleanliness. The furniture and bedding are quite old and worn. Not all the windows have screens, which makes it difficult to get proper airflow, and the house gets uncomfortably hot on warm summer days without air conditioning. Additionally, the property manager was unresponsive to my messages, although she did stop by once during the stay.
