What Our Guests Are Saying

We’ve welcomed thousands of guests to Three Valley Gap, including families, road-trippers, history lovers, and adventurers from around the world. Many return year after year, becoming part of our story. Here’s what a few of them have to say:

Absolutely amazing experience. I took my friend from out of country and we had a blast. Staff was wonderful and helpful. Rusty the cat was a great greeter and the ghost town is something everyone should check out! The beds were comfortable and the view from the room was fabulous. A lot of reviews had mentioned things being out of date… that’s kind of the whole point! Completely transports you to another time. 10/10 recommend the train ride as well! Great place to bring family and friends, will come back!
I can't say enough good things about this place! I love the hotel and the ghost town! I have been there twice now and I was very impressed both times. The hotel and the grounds its on are beautiful!! The ghost town is huge I spent all day there! There is so much history and just really interesting things there it was well worth the 6 hour drive to get there!!
We spent three nights here and had a great time. It's not fancy and doesn't have AC but we loved it. Great service and comfortable rooms with great views. The ghost town has lots to see and learn. We absolutely recommend staying here.
Didn't stay in the Hotel but went through the Ghost Town. Alot to see and well put together. Spent almost 3 hours here!! haha Great staff too.
Really nice hotel. Its our 2nd time here and we really enjoy it. Great for kids. Its a cool relic of its time and gorgeous scenery. Its becoming a tradition of ours. Only downfall is, while the soundproofing in the rooms for the road traffic is well done, the soundproofing from room to room is lacking. The heel-walkers above us were quite loud. Still 100% reccomend.
Spent 3.5 hours here and honestly this was the best $18 admission fee I’ve ever spent. We were extremely satisfied. There’s so much to see — vintage trains, the massive railway roundhouse, old historic buildings, classic cars, and countless unique artifacts everywhere. It feels less like a tourist stop and more like stepping into a preserved piece of old Canadian history. Definitely worth visiting if you are driving through the area.
Beautiful spot. Will be back for the ghost town on our way home. Came back!!! Spent a couple hours woth the kids... could have spent WAY more time if we had it. The train cars were a hit ESPECIALLY the hunted car and ESPECIALLY with my 9yr daughter!! The little old cat was a special moment for the kids. The old cars my favorite 😍. Everything was great. My phine died before I could get the best pictures! Love old things with history. We will be back!!! Oh and...... the rocks!
Museum review (haven’t stayed in the hotel). Fantastic place, great for stopping by during your trip but needs at least few hours to walk around. This is a collection of oddities displayed without a particular order and I think that’s what it makes it amazing and interesting to wander around. It is more a collection of historic buildings and building re-creations. You will find a collection of 1920s era American cars, trains and passenger cars with countless other items throughout the history, clothing etc. Each of the houses have their own themed setups (barber, jail, bank etc). The ghost town is definitely worth a stop, price only $16 and also they do have a train ride which was closed due to the rainy weather.
Wonderful stay at Three Valley Lake Château! The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visit. The service was excellent and made us feel right at home. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the location is beautiful with stunning lake and mountain views. Such a peaceful and relaxing experience
This is a worthwhile stop! Very well done displays. There is something for everyone here. The facilities are well maintained & the village grounds are clean. We didn't eat at the restaurant but we left a little something for our next visit. Staff are friendly & welcoming.
