Very welcoming host, who was responsive and helpful. The cabin is definitely on the older side, but was clean and worked very well for our group of about 25.
Stayed at this great place for 2 nights. We had a large group of 40 and this was the best place we could find for that big of a group. We will be going back again next year. Host was very responsive regarding any questions we had.
Spacious lodge with plenty of sleeping and seating for our group. Easy check in and Cheryl was very responsive to any query or need we had. Perfect place for a large group.
We had a great time at this location. There was plenty of outdoor seating and outdoor space. The lodge was big enough to accommodate us all inside even on the rainy days.
Payne Lake Lodge is a gem. We are so happy to find a place where we can all gather around and spend time together as a family. We can’t wait to come back again.
We had a great time staying here. There is a lot of space on the property and in the cabin. Lots to do in the cabin on cold days.The view is beautiful.
We had a fabulous time celebrating my mom’s 70th birthday. It was the perfect location with plenty of space for us all. The kitchen is well stocked and there’s plenty to do! Would definitely go back for another family gathering!
Cheryl was phenomenal to deal with. She accommodated several special requests that made our stay incredible. The house is everything you need for a large group with excellent kitchen facilities and room for everyone to sleep. Disc golf is a nice touch as well!
The location is beautiful, with gorgeous views of Payne Lake and the mountains. The lodge was perfect for our family reunion with a large kitchen, two fridges, plenty of outdoor seating and lots of folding chairs and tables if we needed extra. We enjoyed the games and rec equipment (volleyball, football, pool,etc) as well as the grand piano. We also appreciated the excellent customer service and communication provided by our hosts.
My Wife and I booked this property as a place to stay and venue for a wedding with 20 people. The views were great, and the lodge was clean and well organized, with plenty of options for entertainment. Our guest loved the property as well, with lots of beds and bathrooms everyone was very comfortable. The host was easy to get a hold of and came and checked with us in the first night to make sure everything was good. Would recommend this property to anyone looking for a reunion or small gathering venue.
We had a great time at the Payne Lake Lodge! So many rooms and so many extra beds! Waking up to that view is breathtaking, the stars at night are amazing, we really enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is stocked with whatever tools you might need and there is ample place to sit in the dining area.
There aren’t many outside lights, my parents had brought a string of Christmas lights which we placed on the deck, made hanging out outside wonderful. We loved that Cheryl came to greet us and answered any questions we had.
It was a lovely piece of property in the middle of nowhere with a wonderful view of Payne Lake and the mountains.
8 bedrooms and gobs of space with huge picture windows overlooking the view
Lots of property with space for family football, outdoor fire pit with lots of benches
Several refrigerators and stoves- even a chest freezer
Owner always available to call and take care of anything needed
Passing deer and moose sometimes
We even had huckleberry bushes in season
Paddleboat riding available
I even enjoyed the Canadian Poutine dish from the Barn Store.
Overall, the whole family loved the place ‼️❣️‼️❣️‼️
The location is stunning, and the house itself is spacious and comfortable. However, there is definitely room for improvement in terms of cleanliness. The furniture and bedding are quite old and worn. Not all the windows have screens, which makes it difficult to get proper airflow, and the house gets uncomfortably hot on warm summer days without air conditioning. Additionally, the property manager was unresponsive to my messages, although she did stop by once during the stay.
