Thoughtfully prepared. Locally inspired.
To be savoured slowly.

Continental Breakfast (Included with Stay direct bookings only)

Begin your morning with a thoughtfully prepared plated continental breakfast, served to your table.

Our breakfast offering changes daily and may feature a freshly baked croissant, bagel, muffin or toast, accompanied by butter and preserves, along with yogurt and fresh juice.

Freshly brewed coffee and a selection of fine teas complete your morning.

Breakfast selections vary each day and are individually plated and served. This is not a buffet or self-serve breakfast.

Dinner in the Conservatory

An intimate dining experience inspired by the land, the river, and the season.

Dining at River Retreat Kananaskis

River Retreat Kananaskis is a small, independently owned boutique retreat and does not operate a full-service restaurant.

Our Fall & Winter Dining experience begins October 5, featuring a small selection of seasonal comfort dishes, including hearty Alberta Beef Stew and homemade soups. These seasonal dinner offerings are available to add to your stay and must be ordered in advance.

For larger groups, corporate retreats, private gatherings and special occasions, we are pleased to assist with arranging a private chef, with dining experiences priced according to your group and selected menu, subject to availability and advance booking.

Our intimate 10-seat Conservatory provides a beautiful setting for smaller private dining experiences, surrounded by the peaceful beauty of the Highwood River and Kananaskis.
