8/10 Very good

Good value and great restaurant

The property is generally well kept and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The Saddle Mountain motel is old but offers a good value and is clean. Worth it. Only complaint is they need to pickup trash left on the lawn and walkway along the motel rooms. There was a used face mask and towelette wipe on the false grass in front of my room. The restaurant is excellent.

The picture of the room was much nicer than the actual room. We were actually staying at the saddle lodge which was infested with mosquitoes.

Beautiful place to stay! Very quiet and peaceful since it’s off-season. Our cabin was beautiful and spacious, it smelled fresh and was very clean. Our dog loved it too! Our sunset walk to the lake was absolutely lovely. The staff were very nice as well. :)

Boris, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A beautiful property in a mature natural surrounding. The guest house was great, even had a wood burning stove in the common area that was set to light. We did light it and enjoyed a lovely evening basking in its heat. The only drawback was a lack of dining on site, but the Saddle Mountain restaurant across the highway was great. Bring your own supplies as Blue River has little to offer.
Collin, 1-night trip

All was good but restaurant menu was expensive to.need to have easy everyday things like burgers..fries. Everything was nothing I ate. But girl was very nice.

4/10 Fair

Didn't stay for the night.

We didnt stay but we book the room for one night, and arrived after 8 pm, amd reception centre was closed, they left the key in the glass box which is all fine. After we found our place, the common area and our suit lights are so yellow, and dark. Also the smell when we enter the little house. We also found spider webs in the bathroom and our suit lights. Two gaint moths flying around in our room. Toilet in the bathroom is dated so as the sink; hardly can turn off the tap. We just left, didn't stay for the night, very disappointed, kids was looking forward to spend the night in a cottage house like this. Wouldn't recommend this place.

After a kayak trip on Murtle Lake, the bed was super comfortable and the water was hot. The beer was cold and the food good at the onsite restaurant. Very good one night stay.

Resort atmosphere but since it’s off season I had the place to myself basically.
Rory, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

if you need a cheap room, goto the sandman instead

i thought i was booking a room at a nice 4 star hotel with log cabins. i was a bit confused by how cheap it was. the room i actually ended up with felt like it was a reno-ed high end jail cell rather than a motel. the tub could not hold water and the lights in the bath room could only stay on if there was a fan on or if this horribly obnoxious egg timer was going. i got what i paid for but damn this was a disappointment. should have been advertised as a separate 1 star hotel rather than wrapping it up with the 4 star. i wont say i was robbed or mislead but what i got was not even remotely close to my expectations. very dissapointed.

Nestled in the mountains of Blue River. Nice property with walking trail to Eleanor Lake. The cabins are beautiful and staff are friendly and helpful. Going in the fall had a disengaging, the restaurant closed the week before and not all rooms have the outdoor hot tub. This is primarily catering to heli skiers so there are a number of heli pads on the property. It gets very dark at night here so the stars were bright abs beautiful. Wood burning fireplace was a bonus. Highly recommend this place.
