Hello there i would like to inquire regarding reserving the chalet on this dates Aug 1 to 3
There will be about 16 to 17 people plus to kids age 6 months and the other one is 3 yrs old. Can you check if this dates are available and if you can give me a qoute on how much it will cost.
Thank you and have a good day.
Now that reservations are open – I’m trying to book a site at Lightning Lake but it’s still not available. I assume that’s because it is closed due to snow still, but surely that won’t be the case at the end of July (when I’m trying to book). When will I be able to book?
Good morning
I am just inquiring if the Skyline 1 trail still has snow on it.
Thanks
Hello
We booked Lightening Lake for camping July 1-5th and received an email on Sunday saying it has been CANCELLED. We called Discover Camping and they said they did not know other than ALL of manning will be unavailable for camping due to “tree hazard”. We booked this in February and are very distressed because this is our only family vacation all summer. There is no number to call and no one has responded to our emails.
Hi there, can I make reservation for cabin on 5th june? I can see that it will be availale at that time on your website. Thank you and please let me know.
Hello,
I am wondering if the resort restaurant will be open by June 5? I have reserved a cabin with my family for that weekend.
Thank you!
I know this will be directed to Info Manning; however, I have an existing reservation for a chalet in the middle of August. I sent an inquiry email on Monday and received the automatic response that does not seem to have been updated since March. Given that it is now the end of May and Hotels and Lodges have been given the okay to reopen staring June (with some restrictions), I suggest that the email automatic response be updated. I certainly hope the room manager is still not checking the email and voicemail sporadically.
My family are looking very forward to staying at the Lodge in August.
Hello!
We are wanting to book lightning lake but there is an error coming up saying that it’s closed due to snow.
Is Lighting lake still closed? Are Cold Spring and Mule Deer the only sites opening for the season as just stated on your Facebook page?
Hello, I am looking to rent a kayak this weekend. It says the boathouse is closed at 4pm. Does that mean we have to return the kayak by 4 or can we use it till sunset? Thank you.
I am trying to find out how to confirm my reservation July 2-5th for a cabin at the resort. I have sent emails and left messages over the past week but have not received any response. Can you help?
How do we cancel reservations? I have sent emails and left phone messages to cancel an August reservation but have not gotten a response.
We would like to book a cabin if possible June 11-14 but would like to know what amenities/activities will be open.
