Just an amazing weekend. The property is the absolute best the foothills have to offer. Hill side Walking trails, river side fire, and large patios surrounded by trees and lawns. The team were friendly, the food delicious and the nights peaceful. Highly recommend and I can't wait to stay again!

Went to the Crossing. Not kid friendly. Do not go if you want day use. You will be told to leave if you don’t pay the $395 price range for 1 bed. Even though you wanted to inquire about the fire pit menu they rave.

The location is between Canmore and Calgary, the location is a bit off the main road while easy to assess by car. The staff is very young and did not introduce us. The house is beautiful and would be great if there are better maintenance (eg. Our toilet lights are blinking when we open it) and mature staff. There are sure potential here to be explore!

We had our wedding at The Crossing and stayed two nights with our guests. It exceeded our expectations in every way. The property is beautiful and tranquil. The food was delicious and the kitchen did a wonderful job accommodating our vegan guest. All of the staff were lovely and things went so smoothly that we had a completely relaxing and restorative time with our families. Thank you to all of the staff who made that possible. The Crossing is a hidden gem that is perfect for events or for a relaxing getaway. I'm sure we'll be back!

A secret gem close to Calgary. Beautiful location, cozy facility, awesome staff and amazing food! My wife and I snuck away to reconnect and this place was exactly what we needed. Our days were filled with relaxing, talking, hiking, recharging and eating. All the staff were amazing and they were very accommodating - hospitality at its finest. The food was amazing with lots of local items. Chef brought flair to everything. Already planning another trip. Recommending to everyone we meet.

Attended the Father’s Day event and it was great! Beautiful location, delicious food, and the branding was a fun experience! I appreciated all the details (such as the smore kits). I’d love to come back!

​If we could give The Crossing at Ghost River more than five stars, we would. We were looking for a venue that felt like "the middle of nowhere" while still being a convenient hour’s drive from Calgary, and The Crossing hit every mark. Our guests were absolutely astonished that such a breathtaking, serene location existed so close to the city. ​From the moment of our first inquiry, we worked with Antonia, who was nothing short of phenomenal. She was attentive, kind, and answered every single question we had. We chose their elopement package for an intimate wedding of 20, and the value was beyond anything we expected. They truly made us feel like royalty, also surprising the bridal party with our own rooms the night before, and providing a delicious breakfast. ​The Food: Before booking, we did our research on the Chef, knowing that the meal can make or break an event. Let me tell you: the research paid off, but the reality was even better!!!. Our guests are still raving that this was the best wedding meal they have ever had. Every single bite was phenomenal!. ​The Atmosphere: As parents, it was vital that our venue be family-friendly. The Crossing is exactly that. They ensured our "littles" and our friends' children felt just as welcome and included as the adults, which allowed everyone to truly relax and enjoy the magic. ​To Antonia and the entire crossing team: thank you for making our wedding day a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Your hospitality, your stunning location, and the incredible team provided us with an experience we will never forget. We will be recommending The Crossing to everyone we know! Thank you! Thank you!!!

I was googling "romantic places near Calgary" to celebrate our 10 year anniversary, and I stumbled onto The Crossing. WOW! this place is amazing! We were greated by super friendly and helpful staff. Our room was huge with a private balcony where we got to watch an amazing sunrise! Our bed was super coumfy and we had a great sleep! We added on the picnic dinner up at the lean-to which was a very romantic adventure! The food was delicious and we got to sit in the lean-to and watch the sunset, and have a little bonfire as well. This is a great place for a wedding, a corporate event, or just a couples romantic getaway! Shout out to Cassidy, Kayden, and Hellena for your amazing hospitality!

….. Where to begin, I unfortunately got trusted planning the day of our dreams as my better half was doing her masters program while working. First of all you don’t know me but I’ll admit I’m not the easiest to deal with and I’m learning, I tend to become very blunt and honest when hiccups occur. First of all I need to apologize to Antonia and Helena as little did I know august 15/16th would become days that you can only dream of! The moment we pulled up the day before our wedding to the moment we left I have no words. Don’t think I’ve come across two amazing individuals of when it’s go time they won’t settle for anything less then perfection and that word never existed in my dictionary before that day and never will again for after but for those two days (tear eye). My wife me my friends and family will never be able to thank you all enough for what you and your amazing team did for us that weekend. From Spencer and Cassidy and the people they had working with them in the back end and setting up and to giving my uncle a hard time! I thank you Cassidy for that haha! To Aeron and his amazing team of chefs he gets to work with your food and presentation and delivery truly was remarkable! I truly cant thank all of you enough for making the day and weekend that special for my wife and all our guests!! You guys truly made me feel like more then just a construction worker and it meant the world. All I can say is I know it might be a bit much for some but it’s worth it. We’ll be going back every couple years on our anniversary date for sure!

Beautiful setting and we had excellent staff and service. We were treated to a tour of the area by a gracious staff member on a Polaris all terrain vehicle. There are many beautiful areas for fire pit fun by the river and warm inviting fireplaces throughout the country inn feeling. The breakfasts were tasty. The dinner option was disappointing. The access to great coffee at all times was a perk. The rooms were very small and overall the weekend experience very pricey. ,

There are so many wonderful happenings from my weekend at your venue and I will give you my top ten beginning with the very best: 1. The food at the wedding reception was beyond belief: vegetables done and served were perfect and the asparagus the best I have ever had. The beef and I don’t usually eat beef, was so delicious I for the first time in my long life went back for seconds. 2. Parking. It was so easy to find a spot and park close to the activities. In Calgary parking has become a high blood pressure item and not only did I just pull in and park but spotted my best friend within ten steps. 3. Bottles of water, fancy coffee and special teas available for our use all the time at no extra costs. 4. The old buildings: especially the main house where I slept. I felt like I was back at my grandparents home and I totally loved my room. It was a busy time so sleep at a minimum but when grabbing a few minutes it was private and rewarding. 5. People: all I need to say is excellent staff and they are worth their weight in gold! 6. Caring attitude: very few places have so many staff who genuinely care about their guests and everyone I interacted with truly made sure I was totally looked after: a tremendous loving and caring environment. I am a psychologist and you restored my faith in human nature. 7. Cleanliness: a spotless environment and to provide blankets for a cool afternoon was a nice addition. 8. Expectations: one goes there with hotel expectations and leaves with the feeling of leaving one’s home. Don’t know exactly how you have created this but you have and it is wonderful. 9. Providing staff and shuttle buses. I love walking but found myself grabbing a ride every chance I got. Another very thoughtful addition to your service. 10 and final thought: totally the best place to visit in all aspects: if one needs a break from city living my advice would be book in for a few days and restore your mental health. I have been all over the world and to find in my own back yard your relaxing environment is truly a surprise and a very nice reward for working diligently. Thank you! Karen Annon

The entire experience was outstanding. My wife and I enjoyed a quiet getaway in the mountains where we could unwind and enjoy our time together. The staff were extremely helpful and courteous and always around when needed ensuring we wanted for nothing. The grounds were very well kept and the riverside area was especially breathtaking. We would highly recommend The Crossing to anyone.

Beautiful and rustic B&B located close enough to Calgary that it's easy to get to, but far enough away that you really feel like you're on vacation. No noise except for the rushing river and the birds. Gorgeous walking paths and river access. Food is homemade and delicious. Highly recommend for a wonderful weekend stay-cation.

Top-notch escape very close to Calgary with amazing amenities. I’m surprised more folks from Calgary aren’t coming out here to decompress and experience nature and hospitality all at once. We delivered a mobile sauna to this location and worked closely with Liam and Steve. They both took guest experience very seriously and were pleasant to work with. We hope to continue visiting The Crossing again and again!

We had our wedding at the Crossing and it was absolutely perfect! The property is beautiful and provided a number of stunning backdrops for our various events and photos. The food was delicious. Everyone raved about it and the staff was so friendly and helpful. We had the resort to ourselves and everyone felt comfortable leaving their rooms unlocked. We even forgot the card box in the reception area overnight and had zero concerns about anything going missing. All in all it was the perfect wedding and our guests had an amazing time. Thank you to Rob and everyone at the Crossing!

My wife and 6 year old recently stayed at the Crossing and it was an outstanding experience. The staff were exceptional—warm, welcoming, and attentive. The food was locally sourced and delicious, and had a variety of options that were even able to satisfy a very particular 6 year old palate 😉 The hotel is perfect for both families and couples, offering something for everyone. Set against the beautiful backdrop of the Alberta foothills, in the Ghost River valley, the surroundings were truly picturesque. We are already looking forward to returning for another wonderful stay!
