Entry no. 00 · Where it started

A small lodge, rebuilt one room at a time.

We are Mara and Theo. We bought a tired old building near Radium Hot Springs and turned it into the place we would want to find after a long drive: quiet rooms, a real breakfast, and hosts who know which trail is quiet this week.

Cedar for warmth. Stone for backbone. Lodge for the welcome.

It is not branding by committee. It is the operating manual: make it warm, make it solid, make guests feel looked after without sanding off the personality.

Cedar

Theo planed most of the cedar trim in the lodge himself, one room at a time, in the shop behind the woodpile.

Stone

The chimney and porch pillars are river stone from the valley, laid to outlast all of us.

Lodge

Small, personal, close to the hot springs, and supervised by Charli, who meets every guest at the door.

No grand myth. Just work, taste, and a lot of laundry.

Found

A tired mountain building near Radium with good bones and too much potential to ignore.

Rooms, breakfast, guest spaces, laundry, garden, and all the invisible work a small lodge runs on.

A quieter kind of stay: cedar warmth, stone permanence, and hosts who answer like actual humans.

On the welcome.

Cedar & Stone is a concept lodge, so these guest book entries are illustrative, written to the standard real ones would meet.

“We booked one night on the way to Banff and rerouted the whole trip to come back for two more.”
“Smaller than a hotel and better for it. The only thing I would change about our stay is its length.”
“Honest note: the road in feels long after dark. Then you wake up to the valley out the window and understand exactly why it is worth it.”

Pick the dates. We keep the rest simple.

Your reservation lands with us, not a platform. Ask anything before you book: rooms, timing, the springs, dinner worth driving for.
