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.

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.

Lovely large property complete with firepit, nearby (just feet away) disc golf course, many beds, pianos (2), fooseball, billards, three fridges, small deep freeze, extra chairs/tables, laundry facilities, wonderfully helpful manager who came immediately to address our concerns. In order to travel the gravel road to the property, you need the security code for the gate. Beautiful scenery, idyllic, (no internet), spacious building - room for all!!!

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.😊

Great place for a family getaway
The location is gorgeous, the pictures do not do it justice. Some parts of the property could use a little attention, which is the only reason why I did not give it a five star rating. One of the rooms was missing the screen door. It was essential to have the windows open, as the place gets very hot. Without the screen, you had to choose between heat or bugs. The deck is also in need of a few repairs. Nothing major, everybody had a great time. I would certainly recommend it to others.

The Perfect Getaway Lodge
Cheryl’s Lodge was a great experience for our group of 20. It was the perfect size in terms of sleeping space, kitchen room, and all of our recreational activities. The walkout basement had a beautiful view that was great for games around sundown. The patio with the barbecue made a great eating spot for the entire group. Cheryl’s hospitality and communication was greatly appreciated, and I would recommend the property to anyone with a big group looking to have an awesome getaway.

Spacious Private Property and Cabin
Nestled on a beautiful piece of property is a cabin that can without a doubt accommodate a large gathering of people inside and out. It is a private/secluded space that is easy to get to once at Payne Lake Family Camping Site ( you drive down a gravel road for a couple kilometres so don’t be surprised or worried by this). The property offers many outdoor activities including ATV, fishing, hiking/nature walk, camp fire, outdoor eating/BBQ, lawn games, picking wild flowers etc. Although it is a trek to access Payne lake from the property, it is a short drive down the lane way to the shore of the lake. The cabin also has some board games as well as a HUGE pool table and other rec games. I would suggest bringing your own to keep busy. There is no WIFI but cell service was strong and good. We came prepared with downloaded shows/movies as the selection is minimal especially for kid options. The entertainment space in the basement is perfect for rainy days and there is an updated TV that includes HDMI hook up for those who bring downloaded shows to watch. The beds were comfortable, sheets/bedding clean, and plenty of towels. Access to the laundry room was a huge benefit as well. The kitchen has two fridges including one large new fridge. It also has two gas stoves and plenty of counter space. The kitchen is FULLY stocked with plenty of plates and cutlery. There are also many picnic tables, folding tables, and extra folding chairs. For the most part the property and home is fairly clean but different areas may need a bit of attention with previous guests not cleaning up properly before leaving. The cabin is about 20 minutes to Waterton Park. Mountain View hamlet has a gas station/general store and is about 10 minutes from the cabin. Overall we had a lovely stay and took full advantage of the beautiful space. For a large gathering and the amenities it offers, it is worth the price per night. We look forward to visiting the property again.
