Welcome to Three Valley Lake Chateau & Historic Ghost Town

Such a wonderful unexpected find! We hadn’t planned to stay here at all. We were driving from Banff to Vancouver and Revelstoke was completely booked, so by chance we ended up at Three Valley Lake Chateau — and we were so happy we did. The hotel definitely has an older, old-fashioned charm, but our room was very clean and the setting is absolutely beautiful. The lake and mountain views are gorgeous, and I actually really liked the old spirit and character of the hotel. There is an indoor pool, and the lake itself is another huge bonus. You can kayak or paddleboard, with rentals available on site, which would be especially nice during a longer summer stay. We also noticed that most of the guests were families, so it definitely feels like a very family-oriented place. The biggest surprise for us was the Heritage Ghost Town next door. We had absolutely no intention of visiting a museum during our road trip, but hotel guests receive discounted admission, so we decided to check it out — and ended up spending almost half a day there! There are historic buildings recreating an old BC town, antique cars, old trains and so many interesting things to see. It turned an ordinary overnight stop into a really memorable experience. Food options are a little limited. There is a restaurant and cafeteria on site, and we had breakfast there. It was simple, nothing fancy, but perfectly fine for an overnight stay. If I were staying for several days, though, I would probably bring some additional food or snacks and plan ahead for meals. What started as a last-minute place to sleep became such a pleasant surprise. If you’re driving between Vancouver and Banff and want to break up the journey, I think this is absolutely worth a stop — especially for families. Beautiful surroundings, lots to explore, and much more than just a hotel. We would happily stay here again!

A really truly magical way to experience Western Canadian history and immerse yourself in the culture and antiquities. I had a great experience here, I wish I could dedicate an entire day to exploring and learning. Will definitely stop by again during my next time in town.

Three Valley Gap is absolutely breathtaking and worth the stop.The setting is what makes it special — the Three Valley Lake, steep forest-covered mountains and the distinctive red-roofed Chateau all come together beautifully. We stopped here while driving through and honestly, even the views around the property were enough to make us glad we did. The water was incredibly clear with beautiful green-blue tones, and the mountains rise almost dramatically behind the Chateau, making the whole place feel very picturesque. There are plenty of lovely photo opportunities, but it is also one of those places where you simply want to stand for a few minutes and take in the valley and water. Definitely worth stopping at Three Valley Gap, even if you are only passing through. The scenery alone makes it memorable.

Honestly, this place is amazing. We’ve been coming here for years, and it’s nice to see that word has gotten out because it was definitely busier this time around! It has gotten a little more expensive over the years, but hopefully it stays within reach because we definitely want to keep coming back. 😂 This hotel has so much charm, and I’m so happy it hasn’t been ruined by a generic modern renovation. One of my favourite things was seeing families actually off their phones, unwinding and spending time together playing table tennis, pool, board games in the library, swimming, and just wandering around the grounds. The rooms are old, but they’re clean and comfortable, and that’s part of the charm. The location is also great, just a short drive from the Enchanted Forest and other activities in the area. We absolutely love this place and would highly recommend it. And of course, we love the cat! ❤️

Nice, peaceful stay as always. Pool, hot tub, games area, souvenir shop, restaurants, Ghost Town, train and lake activities were great! The only downfall is all of the noisy semi trucks on the highway throughout the night, since the horseshoe shape of the hotel funnels the noise right into every room.

J ai adoré ma visite! Y a tellement à voir ! Vraiment intéressant de bien lire les informations sur les bâtiments vaut vraiment la peine de s y arrêter

Very cool spot! My wife and I had a wonderful time, especially on the lake with our paddle boards and the Ghost town was a fun experience. The only thing we would’ve like is to have a table on the patio and maybe the outdoor chairs backrest wiped cleaned from the previous guests that used them prior. Otherwise, it was a beautiful place and would definitely come back again!

Ratings are based on knowing what the hotel was like when I booked it. What I did not expect was how comfortable the beds were. We had a loft room, which had an amazing cross breeze at night that brought in the cedar scent front the woods. The upstairs reading room was a treat as well. Check in was fast. There is no wifi hotspots n the rooms , which was fine for us. There is wifi on the common area. Cute little pool and hot tub. I never tried the food.

Wij zijn alleen naar de Ghost Town 👻 geweest. Wat geweldig!! Zo niet touristisch en ook niet druk. Als je in de buurt bent is het zeker de moeite dit even mee te pakken. Stukje geschiedenis en liefde daarvoor. Veel van de gebouwen zijn afgebroken en genummerd zodat het weer herbouwd kon worden. Waaronder Hotel Bellevue: Dit grote hotel uit 1898 stond oorspronkelijk in het stadje Albert Canyon. Het is in zijn geheel gered en heropgebouwd. The Saloon: Dit café uit 1865 is afkomstig uit French Creek, een oud goudzoekerskamp.

We don't stay in the hotel but stopped for the ghost town. We spent a good few hours checking everything out. If was great and the little train ride was fun.
