Schott’s Lake Conference & Resort

The lake is not really a lake very small. The bed was very uncomfortable. No signage of where to check in went to the restaurant and she had the paperwork there had us fill it out and gave us a key. No directions of where to go found it. The restaurant did not open until 12"00 the next day after check out and it is out of town about 10-15 minutes so no breakfast until we checked out.

I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the check-in process. We were stuck on the highway due to an accident and called their office at 9:30 PM, leaving a voicemail to inform that we would be 10 minutes late. We never received a response. Upon arriving at 10:10 PM, 10 minutes past the check-in time, no one was on-site, and our repeated calls went unanswered. No access was provided and there was no cancellation so they charged the full amount. After waiting for an hour, we were forced to book a motel 30 minutes away. This was a horrible experience and definitely won't recommend this place. 

Lovely and peaceful visit. Really enjoyed our meal at the restaurant.

There are few guests this time of year so that makes it more difficult to get service. The room coffee machine did not work and although said they would replace it, they didn’t. We had pipe water hammer every so often, suspect it was from the heating system, but no support from staff to look into it, the noise would continue to wake us up at night.

Quiet with excellent restaurant on site

Cute spot friendly people and staff

Was such a beautiful hidden gem. Nice little walking trails around the lake, food was delicious and every staff member that we encountered was so helpful and friendly

Beautiful atmosphere. Delicious food. Great accommodations.

Rustic cabin was quiet and decently equipped. Close to Main Lodge. Restaurant had beautiful views and good food options, including GF

Amazing views, great food, beautiful scenery! Went for a walk around the trail it was great

Great place. Would recommend to others. Beautiful scenery.

Quiet area.

I usually don’t give reviews. But I gotta say they are awsome. Thank you for your services.

Beautiful tucked away spot with renovated facilities. The Kitchen restaurant food was excellent and reasonably priced.

Ok for a quick stay but no AC in the room and only one bed in each room

Great little spot. Not super busy. Room is great and was super clean. We loved our stay!

Comfortable clean rooms. Very good meals at their restaurant.

Zoey was exceptional and the restaurant food was great.

Beautiful setting. Secluded in nature, just what we wanted

We really enjoyed our long weekend staying in the motel on the property. The walking paths, scenery and wildlife were amazing. The room was clean and comfortable. The restaurant on site had great dining and all the staff was friendly and very helpful.

Ice machine was broken, very loud rooms. We were unable to sleep and had to leave day early to catch some sleep at home. Will never come back and will not recommend. Refunfd would be appropriate.

We had such an amazing time and the two meals at the restaurant were easily in my top 10 ever. Our suite was beautiful and cozy and we loved the fire place. We are already planning our trip back.

Although it was off season, we enjoyed our stay.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The room was exactly as advertised and we enjoyed the peace and quiet of this retreat near the mountains. The only thing we missed in the room was a microwave which would have been a welcome addition to the amenities. All in all though it was a great stay!

We went last evening for our 10th anniversary. It was recommended by friends and oh my goodness it did not disappoint. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was amazing and the food was absolutely amazing! We had the prime rib special. Highly recommended!!

Nice room. People were very nice as well.

Food was excellent, but need more vegetarion options.

Nice place

We drove out just for supper. The food and atmosphere was the best. Our server was on top of it and very engaging and helpful. Drinks and food were amazing and yes stuffed in some dessert. Definitely worth the drive. Thursday is the brisket deal and omg it was sooooo good. The restaurant is quiet and really pretty. The fireplace was going giving it a beautiful ambience. I wish I had taken some pictures of the space and food.

Very quiet, lot of room. Excellent place to get away

It is a great little place nestled in the forest. The accommodations were great and the food was wonderful.

Very clean rooms. Amazing staff always ready to help. Would certainly go back.

A few weeks ago my husband participated in a cooking class with the chef. It was well organized, the chef was very knowledgeable and made the class suitable for all levels of cooking experience. The food that was made by the participants was top notch and the chef made it fun. Today we enjoyed a Sunday brunch. Food was amazing and service was great. We got served right away , food was hot and fresh. Highly recommend!

Very kind and courteous staff.

So peaceful and beautiful!

Hidden gem.

We always stay at Schott’s when we’re in the area — it’s clean remote with lovely views a wonderful dining area and staff as well as security are very friendly and helpful!

The most wonderfully peaceful escape away from the city life. Perfect for a relaxing adventure and excellent opportunity to see the aurora borealis! Friendly people and great grounds. The lake is idyllic too.

A nice quiet place to get away.

Schotts Lake is a beautifull place.

Super easy check in and very relaxing stay

beautiful setting!

Stayed in motel rm.7 for our 25th wedding anniversary. Had dinner reservation for 6pm. On arrival discovered that there is no front desk. Checkin is at the restaurant. The room itself was just ok. No a/c and it was 29 celcius outside so we knew we were in for a warm night. Went to the "Kitchen" for 6pm and were seated right away and then forgotten about. 20 minutes before our server took our drink order and another 15 minutes to get our Sangria which had not fruit or berries in it. It was not sangria, tasted like lemonade. The server apologized that they were out of berries but then why did she serve it? Dinner took an hour and although the food was delicious it took far too long. We don't blame the lone waitress, she was almost running between tables but she was forced to ignore us until she got caught up. All glassware had a thick film on it. I would have been embarrassed to serve drinks in it. We would not stay at the motel again as our TV had been disconnected and there was no one around to help. We might give the restaurant another try as the food was that good.

Nice and quiet place. I like to stay here

Such a beautiful setting.

We really enjoyed the resort. With the exception of one server who was indifferent. We waited over 45 minutes for desert. Our coffe was cold. Zoe our first server was great . She interacted with us and went out of her way to bring our main course down as we were outside with our dog

We enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, room was a good size very clean and bed comfortable 😀 Would definitely recommend and we will be back

Beautiful scenery, good food, comfy beds

We just returned from a two day getaway at Schott’s Lake to meet with family. It was our first visit and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was such a quiet and peaceful place. We stayed in the motel. The rooms were clean, comfy and had all that we needed. We especially enjoyed sitting outside our rooms on the spacious veranda to visit and spend time together. We wandered the grounds admiring the scenery and taking photos and were lucky enough to get a reservation at their gourmet restaurant for supper. The food was amazing. All six of us ordered different meals and all of them were delicious. I chose the Arctic char. It was amazing! Hats off to the chef. I loved it! I would definately recommend this place to those who are seeking peace, solitude and amazing gourmet meals.

We went for lunch to The Kitchen. We were able to sit outside on the patio, with a lovely view of the lake. No bugs. It was pleasant. I had an Elk Burger and my wife had a BLT. Both were delicious but my burger was Top Notch, one of the best I’ve had in a long time. Worth the drive.

We Booked for a last minute weekend RV camping trip camping trip. At this time of year, it is challenging to find a weekend camp spot, but the folks at Schott's lake were veruy accommodating., and Reasonably priced at $45/night for 30amp power and water hookups. Only a short drive (about 10 minutes) to the town of Sundre for groceries and supplies. This recently developed Campground is pretty well appointed with Large, roomy spots, spread decently apart, so we did not feel like we were camping with the units next to us. Each spot also offers a Large Pic'Nic table (seats 8+ people) and a well built fire pit with a cooking grill attached. (a Fire Ban was in place, so no wood fires, but we were allowed our propane powered 'fire pit'). Vault toilets are located in many convenient spots throughout the park, and are checked, cleaned and restocked several timed a day. Modern, well equpipped and PRIVATE Shower rooms in the main building are 'toonie' operated, but run for more than long enough. I shut the water off before time ran out, even after washing my long, thick hair. Most spots have water/Power (30amp or 50 amp) hookups. No Septic hookups, but 3 wide, well maintained lanes for 'Sani-Dumping' on site are free for registered campers to use. Many trees were removed in the construction of the park, so bring your own source of shade! (I trust that there are future plans to plant in the green spaces between the campspots for shade and increased privacy...). There are still many trees and shrubs separating the different "loops" of the park, so the scenery is nice. And there are beautiful 'walking trails' through the forested areas around the Spring Fed 'Schott's Lake (More of a pond, No swimming or boating allowed). The gourmet Resturaunt on site provides excellent service and great food, although it is a bit pricey. There are also a couple of cabins and about 10 motel rooms available for bookings. Definitely will visit again!

A very unique property to rest and enjoy nature.

Great little place to get away. Quiet, clean and restaurant was wonderful. .

Absolutely amazing place for a weekend getaway. Great food, and views. Peaceful!

We love the country atmosphere of this fact, the staff are very friendly and helpful

A hidden gem in Alberta that everyone should explore if they get the chance. Perfect place for a family reunion, wedding or overnight birthday.

Small and quiet

The accommodation is located in a motel away from the main lodge and lake. The room was comfortable and internet worked good. Bedding for pull out couch was inside the couch and not adequate for the cool evening - there were no extra blankets or pillows and staff had gone for the evening. Staff was very friendly, yet it was confusing as to where a person would check in or deliver paperwork from your stay. The kitchen is the main lodge on the lake and the food was great. I would stay here again.

Stayed in the motel on a fishing trip, it was exactly what we needed. Felt like staying in a little cabin in the woods. Super accomodating and friendly staff. Very nice area surrounding the property. Will be staying again forsure.

Liked that it was quiet and that it felt like you were camping in ways

Nice big rooms and clean. Secure property with guard gates which was great. Fast check-in. Really nice campground in the summer.

This hidden gem is outstanding! From the moment we drove onto the tranquil property, until the moment we left we felt so well taken care of we did not want to leave. Mike, Tammy were so kind and helpful, the maintenance/security man even shoveled a path to a fire pit so we could enjoy a fire! The Kitchen served me up the best lobster eggs benedict I have ever had! I can not wait to return to this beauty!

Splendid Stay!

Second time to this fabulous restaurant. Had the cauliflower steak and it was so delicious I wanted to order a second to go. My husband had the prime rib and raved about it. Worth the 30 minute drive to get there and definitely a five star from us. Will take all our family and friends.

The host is friendly , the restaurant also has the best food around.

Tranquil, clean, hospitable, and picturous. Doesnt get better than this!

We enjoyed our stay, however, the restaurant is only open for breakfast on the week end, so you are on your own, which would be ok if the rooms had as a minimum a microwave. Guest need to know that they need to supple there own breakfast

We stayed in the motel last night…very clean,bed on the soft side.Staff were awesome about supplying a hair blow dryer and a kettle for me to make tea( which they supplied).Beautiful setting. We ate at the Kitchen there…and were EXTREMELY disappointed. 3 course meal. The salad with saskatoon dressing was delicious. We asked for medium rare prime rib….we got “well done”,slathered in glutinous gravy. The people at the next table complained…the chef came out…offered a new slice…but it would still be slathered in that gravy. Dessert was fair…brownies with a bit of ice cream.I am surprised by the rave reviews. There were only 2 other couples there when we were there. I must say server Tammy was excellent!

We came with family booking both the motel and lakeside cottage for this long weekend and we had a fantastic time! The cabin was adorable and the picnic table and fire pit area over looks the lake. The porch area is much larger then it seems. Water was refilled the next day for us and wood was delivered right beside our fire pit which was a plus! The outhouse was clean, only steps away from the front entrance. Our family who were staying in the motel also had great things to say about their room and the property in general. The restaurant is a very short walk away from both the cabins and the motel, we didn’t have time to eat there but the menu we were given looked great! It also looks like they are adding in some other activities for guests to enjoy in the future. It is gated at night with security which made it feel safer. We got lucky on our first night and got to see the northern lights over the lake which was just beautiful! Would definitely come back here!

This is a quiet oasis that offers wonderful evening dining (noon to 9pm) The room was very comfortable and the owner provides both a small heater and a fan if the room is a bit warm or cool. the route direct from Sundre is recommended as I ended up being sent on a roundabout routing by Google and the road was freshly gravelled. The direct route is a very good highway. I would definately return, for the view over the small pond with the ducks, the quiet and the food.

We were in the RV area. Well kept and nicely laid out. Parking pads some of the larger we've seen so there was plenty of room on the site for the trailer and truck with plenty left over for us to hang out. Dump stations on site were clean and well maintained, although the elbow didn't fit properly. Pit toilets were fairly clean. We did go to the restaurant one evening and enjoyed the elk burger, wait staff were pleasant and efficient. The only downside for is was the lack of trees between sites, although another camper said they'd heard from maintenance that they planned to plant, they were just getting the grass established first. Overall, an enjoyable stay.

Beautiful tranquil location but close to amenities in Sundre. The motel looks brand new with great design. The outdoor spaces showcase beautiful new decking, glass railing to take in the surroundings, ample seating, beautiful flowers. The main building has a log cabin feel with views of the lake from inside and large dining deck outside. There is security to enter the property. The entire grounds look meticulously maintained. Highly recommend.

They only have staff at the lake limited hours. We missed check in, but we really appreciated someone stayed late to let us in. When we got into the rooms, there was no toilet paper, the floors were very dirty and the coffee maker did not work. The rest of the room was clean. Beautiful location and staff were exceptional. Didn’t get a chance to try the food but we heard there was an excellent chef on site. Wish we could have spent more time there. Would like to come back. If staff would have been on site after we checked in, I’m sure they would have resolved our issues.

Nice quiet place

We hosted our daughter's wedding at Schotts Lake aand we'r couldn't have been happier with the experience. The accommodations were exactly as described, the staff were friendly and helpful, the food was amazing and the scenery and ambiance was everything we hoped for. We definitely recommend Schotts Lake for anyone hosting an event. Fabulous.

Wonderful secluded yet vibrant get away. Food was amazing in the dining room! Rooms were cozy and clean.

Need A/C in the rooms

We had heard amazing things regarding this resort and their prime dinner special. The scenery is beautiful, the lodge, hotels etc are lovely. Excellent friendly staff. I unfortunately must say the prime rib dinner was very disappointing. There was no taste , gravey was bland, veggies under cooked , meat rubbery. The Yorkshire pudding was the only decent part of the meal. Perhaps will give it another try but will order a different dish from the menu.

Immaculate grounds. Friendly, helpful staff. Fantastic setting. Exceptionally tasty & abundant food. Great Sunday Brunch. Most of our group had RV’s however some didn’t si having the motel was great yo accommodate them. A great place to celebrate with friend’s & family. We saw a momma moose with twin calves, deer, ducks & duckings on the lake, muskrat.

In the middle of nowhere but still has WIFI. Beautiful faculty. Foods great. Looks over a lake. Only 9 motel rooms & camping.

Beautiful well maintained property!

The restaurant is fantastic! Beautiful view of the lake!

We had a great time. Everyone was very friendly

Over all nice Campsite. Drawback, not children oriented, no playgrounds. This campsite is more the feel for retired people and executives. Security vehicles, guard office, photo ID, what? Would of been nice for July long weekend to see the grass cut. The overall "highend" campground feel was there, but not followed through in the details. Overall rating would be a 6 out of 10. Suggestions: Kids playground, tone down the security, can scare some people away. Cut grass, and add a hose ability at sani dump so can be attached for black water flush on RV's that have it.

We rented the gardenview cabin. Upon arrival we thought there was a disconnect from the cabin to the rest of the property, as if it was forgotten about. The main building, the strip of motel rooms and the camping grounds in general were all new, and well maintained. They share a cohesive image and style. The cabin was definitely rustic which is fine but some small upgrades would make it fit in with the rest of the property. In my opinion, changing the interior paint from orange to white would make it feel more welcoming when you first open the door to the cabin. Updating the interior and exterior furniture so it fits the styling of the rest of the property and investing in more comfortable/ bigger beds. There were many dead flies, cobwebs and we found mouse droppings on the floor of the cabin. Definitely doesnt make you want to take your shoes off. The cabin was in a private area which was really nice. The main building is wonderful and has a great view of the small lake. The shower facilities were great also but we didnt know until we went to have a shower that they cost $2. There was nothing in the welcome package or signage posted about the cost of the shower and how long of a shower you get with a toonie. Honestly this review is more about the specific cabin we rented, which i think is an opportunity for schotts lake resort. We had a wonderful time with our friends here and will definitely be back... but we will rent a room in the motel.

The Kitchen restaurant is wonderful and the room we had was quite nice. Very good for the price. While the property is secluded with services a bit of a drive away, that was an advantage for us. Loved it and will go back.

The staff were the greatest. We stayed in the Motel and enjoyed the chairs on the patio out front of our room. It was great fun watching the kids enjoy riding their bikes on the little hill. So nice to see kids entertaining themselves rather than playing video games. (Which they could be as the WiFi was excellent.). Loved the Kitchen restaurant. Room was clean and well equipped. Plan to return.

Beautiful place, nice camp sites, clean outhouses. I would add some trees between some of the sites for more privacy. They should have a small playground for kids or a pool since the lake is not useable.

Quiet, unique, in lovely countryside, beautiful setting,great food. Tv did not work in #3 motel unit.

While the area is very serene and peaceful, the lake is not what I would call a lake - its a slough. Accomodations were so/so. As soon as we entered our room (in the motel portion), we were greeted with a very stale or musty smell. Coffee machine and complimentary coffee in the room, but the coffee maker was dusty and the water capsule had white flakes floating around in it - so sadly we did not enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. And SO MANY RULES. Signage for no bikes (pedal bikes, not motor), NO open alcohol outside - what ???? We were in the motel which had 2 nice but dusty lawn chairs right outside the door but you were not allowed to sit out there with a beer or glass of wine. Nice firepit area - but big sign saying firepit closed. Not much to do here other than sleep - at least bed was comfortable. No A/C but did have a fan in the room which kept it decent for sleeping. Would definitely not return.

Amazing!! Beautiful location, incredible food, welcoming staff, great room. Loved it!

Great dining experiences.

We really were impressed with our stay here for our 1 year anniversary. Family suggested it to us and it was a great choice . The motel room was very clean and quaint. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed the food we had at the restaurant, except for one of the dishes, but my husband had ordered the Prime rib special so I ended up just sharing his and it made up for my dish. The elk spring rolls are a must! Will definitely come back.

Location is beautiful, hosts were very friendly and helpful. Grocery box a useful service. Restaurant food was excellent and wait staff were nice if a little overwhelmed. Waited repeatedly for menus, had to ask twice and after waiting over twenty minutes for desert we ordered we were then told they were sold out.

What a beautiful stay. We arrived mid week and so it was very quiet. We stayed at the motel - updated rooms. My only issue is that it is warm as there is no AC. I’d suggest bringing a fan and I’d suggest to the resort to supply fans in each room. We ate at the restaurant and yummmm. We ordered the charcuterie board (the homemade Saskatoon spread and red pepper jelly are so delicious), the elk burger (so juicy and such great flavors) with fries (almost certain these are made in house they were fresh tasting), the chicken pot pie, and the kids grilled cheese (on thick yummy bread). I would definitely come back again to stay here and I will be recommending to my family and friends for stay and dinner.

Beautiful property in a secluded setting. Rooms are cozy and well equipped. I also appreciated the ability to plug in my vehicle during the cold weather.

We went to Schott's Lake Conference and Resort for one night to celebrate a friend's birthday. The accommodations were clean and very comfortable, room sizes in the motel were generous, and we had a great time visiting. Dinner at the Lodge was amazing. The restaurant was quite full, and there was an event going on downstairs as well. Despite how busy it was, we were attended to quickly, food came out in a timely fashion, and the Servers did an awesome job! Polite, professional, and refreshing. Recommend to anyone who wants a nice quiet retreat, or great visit with family/friends.

Spacious comfortable rooms. Very clean! Great restaurant onsite! Places to hike on site and nearby.

The cabin was very loud at night, and we were not close to anyone else. Was extremely hot in there, and unless we had the fan going full it was unbearable. The restaurant there was wonderful and had amazing food. We were at the closest cabin to the main hall but still had zero wifi connection.

Great space, amazing food friendly staff. More in formation regarding the motel is needed. The handout is related to camping. No info in rooms regarding tv operation, check out, or getting a bag of ice.
