Guide
Northland Lodge is a nine-room guesthouse in Waterton village, in an older house-style building near Cameron Falls. It suits travelers looking for a small place to return to between park outings. The lodge lists a May-to-October season, so check dates before planning a stay.
The rooms are individually configured. Some have private bathrooms, while others share a shower or bath; fridges, beds and decks vary too. Read the exact room details before choosing. Several guests mention compact or quirky layouts, and a few report rooms feeling warm in summer, so ask about airflow if heat matters to you.
Morning coffee, tea, juice and homemade muffins with the lodge's Saskatoon berry jam are part of the guest routine. Eat with other guests or carry a tray to the deck. The lodge also lists homemade soup, Caesar salad and pie by reservation in limited quantities. Wi-Fi and guest laundry are available.
The property was first known as Carthew Lodge and took the Northland name after an ownership change in 1948. Some rooms and decks look toward Mount Vimy, the Citadel or Bear's Hump; those views are part of the stay rather than a public viewpoint.
