We stayed here for a few days over the New Years period, and overall liked the room.  

The location is ideal - better ski in/out than anywhere else on the hill.  The room we stayed in - the Premium Two Bedroom Suite - was really wonderful (as it should be for the price!), with huge amounts of space, very comfortable beds, well-outfitted kitchen, and a lovely living room.  The building itself is "self-serve" (no front desk), but the staff were always available if we phoned with a question or request.  The underground parkade and ski lockers were also great.

Two small critiques, and one booking suggestion.  First, the master bedroom only had horizontal blinds - no curtains - which did not fully block the incoming light of the village plaza.  For my wife, who likes it dark to sleep, this was a bit of an issue.  Second, the heater in the living room also has a side vent into the second bedroom, which can't be shut off.  So if you want to heat the main living space, you may also end up over-heating the bedroom.  We just used the fireplace, and avoided the electric heater, so it was fine.

The key booking suggestion is to avoid rooms (like ours) which face the village plaza.  The Griz bar is directly across from these rooms, and all the accompanying noise from the bar can be heard in the room.  Similarly, anything happening in the plaza is quite audible.  You will be awake until the last loud-talking people leave the plaza, and up in the morning as soon as they start playing the loud rock music in the plaza.  If you are young and/or enjoy the party scene, this is a good location.  If not, request a room facing the hill instead.

Prime location; be careful with rooms facing the village plaza

We booked here for the location.  Have previously stayed a couple years ago so we knew it was the perfect family spot to walk out the door and be on the ski hill.  The positives are the heated garage underground, lots of towels for family.  We stayed in suite 307 which was a 2 bedroom premium suite.

The condo is in serious need of upgrading.  The carpet is old and dirty.  The couch was ripped through on the arms.  The kitchen has most of what you need but a  real mixture of utensils, cups and plates.  The coffee pot has not seen a cleaning for a lone time as well as the kettle which had so much calcium build up we decided to buy coffee and hot cholchlate on the hill instead of making it.  The beds are hard as a rock, even my kids complained about the uncomfortable beds. Probably the most disappointing for us was the first night we went to turn on the fireplace.  Well it did not work at all.  My husband looked at it and we were shocked at how much lint and dust were underneath it. Major fire hazard.  This fireplace has not worked in a long time.  Management must have known that it is not working.  Really upsetting seeing we had booked the premium suite. Nothing premium here.  Washer and dryer are nice to have.  However the dryer had a disgusting stain of some kind in it that we ended up hanging the clothes up to dry.  

Overall we had a good visit but this was because of the great snow on the hill not the lodge.  Next time we will definitely return to lizard creek which is newer and better kept up. A little bit of money invested into the suites could go a long way to update things and they could then charge more money in the long run.

Good location

Dear SkiLikeStein 
Thank you for taking the time to review the Cornerstone Lodge and appreciate your honest feedback.  We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the ski-in ski-out location and the recent unit upgrades. We have shared your constructive feedback on the other unit amenities with our guest services team along with the unit owner to identify areas in need of upgrading. We look forward to hosting you again at the Cornerstone Lodge in the future!


The good parts - basement heated parking; walk out the door and you are skiing, restaurants and coffee shops directly below you, super friendly staff, kitchen with dishwasher, washer and dryer, new carpet, and price was great. 

The pillows were however the absolute cheapest and the couch bed uncomfortable.  

They could invest as much money as they wanted and would get a return on investment just given this super location.  So my advice is to modernize the units and you will make more money.

Excellent location

We have shared your concerns with our maintenance department along with the unit owner to identify areas in need of upgrading. We  look forward to your future visits!


A pretty nice location on the mountain, but this is a ski lodge in need of renovation. Some thoughtful touches - well equipped kitchen, soap for dishwasher and clothes washer. But only every 2nd day servicing of the rooms, and only if you request it ahead of time. Lots of little things - air conditioners only worked intermittently, very hot and humid all the time (despite outdoor temperatures being in the teens). Many lightbulbs burnt out, lots of marks of the walls, carpet very worn, shower faucets barely functioning. On the other hand, price was reasonable, underground parking available, and it was pretty quiet.

Needs renovation

Dear YYCdude, thank you for your review and we are happy that you enjoyed your stay with us including the convenient location and amenities. We look forward to seeing you again in the future!

Recently stayed at the cornerstone lodge. This property is right at the base of the chair lift & our room offered an exceptional view of the ski hill. Nice spacious room that was nice & clean. 
Underground parking was convenient. 
Dining options were within walking distance on the ski hill. 

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay
