Lily Lake Village Resort

Our organization held a Strategic Advancement Forum at Lily Lake Resort in June of this year (2018) and the management and staff were very accommodating with changes in menu and corporate venue space. It was rustic with all the creature comforts you would want. I would only suggest bottled water as an upgrade to our stay. It’s a lovely outdoor space, and some very interesting historical information about the area was shared. Here is what the rest of my staff had to say about the facility: “The atmosphere was perfect; I loved being outside as there were many trails to explore, horses and mini horses, and many different birds to observe. The facility is lovely, the rooms are comfortable, and the grounds provide lots of space to set up games." “The staff at Lily Lake are fantastic and strive to ensure that the guests needs are met. The facility is set up for business functions and can accommodate a large group. The only thing that I had a time getting used to was the taste of the water, but this is not a deterrent in anyway. When I go back I will take my own water and if I forget, there is always bottled water available for purchase at the restaurant.” “I really enjoyed Lily Lake – it was close to the city which made for a short drive (!), the staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful, and the Cuddle Inn and the Roundhouse were great for our purposes. The only thing I would comment on was the food. Servings were very generous, but it was actually too much for me, especially because it was so hot. It felt very wasteful to leave so much food untouched. Some lighter and smaller choices would have been welcome. The meals often seemed more appropriate for fall or winter. I appreciated the buffet at breakfast because then I could choose what and how much. The kitchen was very accommodating to vegetarians. I would happily go back for another staff workshop and would recommend it to other organizations.” “I really enjoyed my stay at Lily Lake Resort. I would go back again in a heartbeat. I was trying to think of the upcoming events I have where I could go back. The location is a “not-too long, beautiful trip” through the country side. It is quiet and very serene. The food was amazing and the service was even better. The owner is very friendly and hands on, who also knows the history of the “Red Barn” and seems so happy and proud to be there. Everyone was so friendly and helpful." “The staff were very friendly and helpful (especially Greg). The food was satisfactory overall (personally I would have preferred to decide the “wellness” of my steak but understand may not be able to customize for a large group). The rooms were cozy and I appreciated having a fridge. One recommendation would be to have window air-conditioners in the rooms.” “Lily Lake was so beautiful, the grounds were amazing with so many places to explore and enjoy. The roundhouse was a great space to gather and it was nice that we could sit outside if desired. Everyone at Lily Lake was so kind and accommodating, and the Cuddle Inn was perfect. Thank-you once again for sharing this place with us and to everyone at Lily Lake who welcomed us with open arms. It was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to others, especially if looking for an event venue as it has so much to offer!” “I enjoyed my stay. It was a very beautiful view, great food and friendly staff. I will come back for sure. One hour driving from city, and you will get a peaceful and quiet vacation. I will recommend Lily Lake Resort to people I know for sure.” “I really enjoyed my stay at Lily Lake. It was so calming and relaxing, and the weather was just beautiful. Most importantly, the food was amazing!! I would go back again. I would recommend it to my family and friends. I showed my family the pictures of the food and the view, the beautiful horses and the pony; and they just loved it.” “Lily Lake was great. Greg went over and above meeting any requests. I found the rooms to be just the right size and appreciated the fridge and ceiling fan especially with the hot weather. I enjoyed my time and found the location very peaceful and relaxing. The food portions were very generous! The breakfast buffet had a nice variety and the staff were friendly and accommodating. I would definitely go back and will check the website to be informed of any upcoming events, or even return for brunch. This place has a lot of character and history which I also enjoyed learning about. Great Place!! Many thanks, Greg.” “The service was amazing. They all cared about hospitality, it was very evident. Food was very fresh. I wonder if some golf carts to help people get around the property would be a good idea. Not everyone is able to walk that far, and driving can make things busy. My bed was super comfy. The roundhouse was a good place to have our meeting, the patio was lovely. The bon fire was close to bathrooms, no outhouses required. My walks along the lake were lovely; you have a beautiful location with so much potential.” I would recommend Lily Lake to friends and business associates. My staff enjoyed our team building event at this facility. Karen Baretta Executive Director Alberta Association for the Accreditation of Early Learning and Care Services
