Activities

My husband and I a spent a few days over New Year here at this exquisite place which is a perfect spot to relax and rejuvenate. The inn is very comfortable and inviting, wonderfully decorated with attention to detail and the staff were outstanding, taking care of our every need, the food was world class and the grounds are stunning nestled in the foothills. We lit a wood burning fireplace every evening and relaxed with our feet up. The drive into Cochrane is not too far and the wolf dog sanctuary is a short drive away.

We were extremely lucky to discover the Crossing at Ghost River for our family reunion. Everything was superb. It began with the setting which is beautiful and calm with lots of room to roam on the property, and a crystal clear mountain river running along the border. The food was a gastronomic delight and the chefs were more than willing to deal with our special requests and our need to change the timelines when our activities ran late. The staff were more than helpful with set up ( when we reorganized the tables ) and always cheerful and friendly. The planning went smoothly and the managers helped us with each detail down to planning the menu, choosing the wines and organizing rooms with great attention to detail, checking on allergies and so on. The bedrooms were spacious and unique and a hit with the family. All of our visitors (from England, Scotland, Poland and Italy as well as eastern Canada and the US ) were blown away by the venue. I can't thank the Crossing enough.

Every year, our organization holds a planning session for the leadership team and this is the second year that we have held it at The Crossing. We have two intense days of work to get through and we rely on the professionalism and support that the superb staff at The Crossing consistently provide. Cozy accommodations, functional conference space, delicious food and very attentive service make The Crossing a favourite place to step back and really look at the big picture. The location and grounds provide the perfect setting for removing all distractions and really getting lots done, with time to relax, play horseshoes and have a fire by the river.

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting our wedding here the beginning of July 2022. From the beginning it was such an easy and stress free venue to work with to plan our wedding. Carol, Christine, Jori and all the other staff made the day flow and truly went above and beyond to help us and our guests truly enjoy every moment. The food is beyond amazing and the natural beauty of the property is truly one of a kind. Can't recommend the Crossing enough for an event or for night away in their beautiful and unique bed and breakfast.

This was the second time we decided to hold our Western Retreat at The Crossing as we had a spectacular visit the first time. The meeting rooms were spacious, fully equipped and allowed for an opportunity to stretch the legs and enjoy a short nature walk between the dining experience and the meetings. The grounds are stunning and offer many different options for team building activities (we did fly fishing and nature yoga). The Inn is only a short drive to and from the Calgary airport, so is very convenient for out of city travellers. The food is amazing and Carol and her team went out of their way to accommodate our group’s every need. Overall a special place to host a ‘real Albertan’ experience.

The Crossing at Ghost River is the perfect spot for a getaway. I have been here for meetings but our personal weekend away was just what we needed! It is peaceful to walk to the river, enjoy a campfire, or relax with a good book. It is so quiet and the rooms are very comfortable. The food is absolutely amazing, and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Our weekend away was perfect! It is also a short drive to the mountains if you want to go hiking. We would definitely recommend the Crossing at Ghost River.

We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary in June 2022 and found The Crossing at Ghost River to be an ideal location to host a three-day event for twenty-three family members and friends, ranging from five to seventy-five years old. The Deere House provided us with the bedroom space for everyone to stay and with both a games and a meeting room for group activities. The chefs and kitchen staff prepared delightful, savoury meals fit for royalty. Everyone spoke highly of the wonderful buffets that were served. A hike to the top of Mockingbird Lookup gave fourteen of our group an outdoor activity with bonding time. The Reservations Manager suggested and helped organize this event, for which we were very grateful. A guaranteed way to get people to stick together is with roasted marshmallows over an open fire pit. The Crossing staff helped make this happen, too. The staff, meals, facilities, and setting were simply outstanding. Everyone left with fond memories of the time we spent together at The Crossing.

The Crossing at Ghost River made for a perfect weekend getaway, with only a short drive from the city. Highlight of the weekend was the food - 5 star meals that the whole family raved about. They went above and beyond to accommodate for Celiac (gluten free), which was such a treat. Our room was clean, and the staff went out of their way to make sure our weekend was relaxing and hassle free. Great firepit (a short walk) down by the river. Common spaces located around the resort to share some laughs, play games, or read a book. Highly recommend.
