Accueil chaleureux et jovial, un site enchanteur avec plusieurs activités intéressantes à notre portée, un personnel généreux, la nourriture est excellente et réconfortante - tout était délicieux.

We stayed in one of the sky domes with the plexi ceiling to see the stars and aurora. Excellent! Rinaldo mixes lovely cocktails, the bison burger and breakfast are fabulous, and the property is close enough to Edmonton to reach easily but far enough to get away from it all. When we were there, there was about a foot and a half of snow, no wind, and everything was quiet. We enjoyed grabbing a drink, playing board games and Yahtzee next to the fire, and catching a hockey game in the upstairs lounge area in the lodge. Also enjoyed the 4x4 tour to see three different types of bison, elk, and the French draft horses. Loved walking along the frozen river. Can't wait to return.

I highly recommend visiting Metis crossing. My partner and I spent this past Valentine’s Day there, we stayed in the sky watching dome, the staff were very friendly and accommodating. They went above and beyond for us to ensure we had the best stay. The food was delicious. We are so excited to visit again.

The rooms are quite nice and they have a lot of different amenities that you can use such as a skating rink. Was here for a conference/retreat and it has a quite nice space to gather and connect with each other.

It was worth the over an hour drive in the fog. Everything was covered with hoarfrost and the wonderful fireplace felt warm inside. All the staff were extremely friendly making you feel welcome. And the food was fantastic.

Métis Crossing is such a breathtakingly beautiful and serene place. Right on my arrival to the location, it felt like coming home. I had a single king room, which was very clean and cozy. I loved the small touches to make it homey like the patchwork quilt on the bed and barn door for a bathroom door. The staff have been very kind and professional as well as incredibly helpful when needed.

If I could give more stars I would!
We stayed in the domes to do some stargazing and I can't recommend it enough. The domes have everything you could want to get comfy and look at the night sky. We also had the privilege of doing a couple of experiences offered ("Meet the Metis" and the Wildlife Tour") which were both wonderful. The guides are knowledgeable and full of stories about the land, animals, plants and everything in between. All of the staff truly make the experience though, you feel like you're leaving with friends. If you made it to this review you are clearly thinking about making the trip and my advice is to book it ASAP!

Six of the seven star dorms were rented for our family reunion and 65th birthday!

The entire process of booking was very personable as I had very unique needs considering one of my child is special needs. We had all ages from one years old to 65!! The ladies were extremely patient with me and helpful the entire way from beginning to end.

Our stay included an amazing breakfast buffet, Hats off to the Cheffs!

We toured the grounds where we even found two of our ancestors names on the memorial, There’s a lovely little park and a museum. My nieces and nephews enjoyed rolling down a hill like they were kids again!!

Absolutely gorgeous in the fall!! Previously, this summer, we were able to take a wildlife tour as well, Unbelievable!! We got to see a huge white elk stag, the most beautiful horses you could see, and the amount of white plains Buffalo was thrilling.

Thank you to everyone at Metis Crossing for accommodating such a large group of us and all the special attention and little details really helped to make an awesome experience.

Sincerely : the Pallister Crew
