Resort Management

Painted Boat is managed by Canadian Rocky Mountain Resorts.

Western Securities Limited, a property development and management company with its head office in Calgary purchased Deer Lodge from the Crosbys in 1982 and continued to run it as a summer operation for three more years. In the fall of 1984, Deer Lodge went through major renovations and it reopened February 14, 1985 to remain open year round.

Canadian Rocky Mountain Resorts was conceived in the spring of 1985 to operate the mountain resorts owned by Western Securities Limited.

Emerald Lake Lodge in Field. B.C. had been purchased in 1980 and the restoration and construction of this destination resort was completed in the summer of 1986.

Mountainview Village Resort in Banff, Alberta had been acquired in 1983. In 1987 Canadian Rocky Mountain Resorts began extensive construction and renovations to the property. A main lodge housing restaurant, lounge and banquet facilities was completed in 1988. Pursuing a new image to complement its facelift, Mountainview Village changed it name to Buffalo Mountain Lodge.

Today, Canadian Rocky Mountain Resorts is continually renovating and developing the three mountain resorts. Deer Lodge has renovated and all rooms at the lodge now have telephones. Deer Lodge still maintains its rustic decor and original charm, always welcoming their guests who wish to get away from it all.

Deer Lodge as well as Emerald Lake Lodge and Buffalo Mountain Lodge, maintain a fine mountain cuisine in their restaurants.

Honouring the fine tradition of turn-of-the-century hospitality, we offer you personal service and an attention to detail that is no longer commonplace.
