About the host

Hosted by Dale McIntyre

Host profile image
Rooted deep in the Alberta Rockies, The Lodge at Panther River is a place where the mountains shape more than just the landscape—they shape the people who call this valley home. Life here flows with the rhythm of the river and the quiet strength of the peaks. To live in the Panther Valley is to carry the spirit of the wild in your heart and the calm of the forest in your breath.

What makes hosting so meaningful is witnessing the wonder on guests’ faces as they arrive—when words fall away and nature does all the talking. The beauty here is humbling, grounding, and profoundly healing. It offers a kind of stillness that’s hard to find elsewhere—a reminder of what really matters.

Hosting is about more than just sharing a cabin—it’s about inviting others into the story of this land. We are proud stewards of this slice of paradise, and we take that responsibility seriously. Every guest becomes a thread in the ongoing story of this valley. Our hope is that long after you’ve returned home, the peace and awe you found here stays with you, like a quiet echo of the mountains calling you back.

Why they chose this property

Tucked deep in the Panther Valley, this area offers a rare kind of stillness—wild, untouched, and profoundly peaceful. It’s a place where the river carves stories into the land and the mountains stand timeless and true. Unlike the crowded trails of Banff, this valley remains a hidden gem, rich with wildlife, adventure, and solitude. What I love most is how quickly life slows down here—how nature invites you to breathe deeper, move slower, and simply be.

What makes this property unique

Our property is a true escape—nestled in a quiet mountain valley where time seems to slow and the outside world fades away. Here, the only sounds are the river, the wind through the trees, and the crackle of a fire under the stars. It's the kind of place where you can finally hear yourself think—or stop thinking altogether.

While Banff is known for its beauty, it also comes with crowds, traffic, and busy streets. The Lodge at Panther River offers something different: space to breathe, trails without lines, and a chance to reconnect with nature and yourself. Guests often tell us it’s like discovering what the Rockies used to be—wild, peaceful, and unspoiled.

Our cabins offer rustic comfort with thoughtful touches, set against a backdrop that feels cinematic in every season. Whether you’re sipping coffee beside the river or watching the mountains glow at sunset, this is a place to unwind, reflect, and reset. There’s no rush here—just the steady rhythm of the valley inviting you to slow down and stay awhile.
