All of our Condos have full kitchens, so that means a fridge, oven, four burner stove, sink, microwave and most importantly, a drip coffee maker! We also have all of the utensils you could need, bowls, cutting boards, baking trays and more. If you need something you can’t find in your room, just call the front desk and they will be more than happy to help.

We aren’t able to make any amendments to bookings not made directly through us. You will need to contact the company you originally booked through to make any changes.

We offer free of charge cancellations at any time, up until 72 hours before you’re due to check in. In other words, you have until 4pm (Mountain Time) three days before you’re due to arrive.

If you cancel within 72 hours (or don’t show up) then you will be charged a cancellation fee. This is the total of the first night of your stay, plus tax.

Holiday Cancellation Policy

Between December 20th, 2024 and January 4th, 2025 all reservations for Premier Two Bedroom Loft Condo with 3 Queens, Premier Two Bedroom Loft Condo with Games Room, Premier Two Bedroom Loft Condo with 4 Queens and Premier King Condo with Private Hot Tub, are subject to our Holiday Cancellation Policy. This means that for any booking you make for these condos between those dates will require a deposit of the first night plus tax. Any cancellations received after 4pm, 14 days prior to your arrival date will forfeit the deposit taken.

You can check-in any time from 4:00 pm onwards, while check out is by 11:00 am.

On check-in a pre-authorization equal to your total anticipated stay, plus a $100 deposit for incidentals will be placed in a “holding-state” on your credit card. On checkout, if you use your credit card to pay for the room, the room amount will be processed and the deposit will be released. Credit card holds usually take 3-10 business days to clear. If after 10 business days the amount has not cleared, we advise you to contact your credit card company directly.

There is no deposit required! All we need is a credit card on file as a guarantee on the room and the ability to enforce our cancellation policy. If you booked three rooms or more, please see our group booking policy below.

We recommend putting a note in when completing your booking or calling our Reservations Team and making a request that way. Our front desk staff try their best to accommodate special requests as much as possible, but if your room isn’t ready when you arrive, we would be happy to hold onto your bags in the meantime.

I need to make a reservation for three (or more) rooms. Is there anything more I need to do?

Well, it depends. If you want to make a group of bookings for a function, or an otherwise larger group, please call the Reservations Team directly at 1 (800) 661-1372. Otherwise, the only difference is that we require a deposit of the first night of your stay plus tax for each room. If you still aren’t sure, feel free to call our Reservations Team.

Our outdoor pools at the Hidden Ridge Resort are open from 8:30 am to 10:00 pm daily and open year round.

Something has come up and I need to modify my booking. Is that okay?

Sure! But you need to know a few important things. Making a modification can change the price of your room, lose availability or get additional fees. So please be careful!

We experience high volumes of traffic during these times and we recommend either walking, cycling or catching a bus and leaving your car at the resort.

Our parkade heights are: Front Entrance 6’11” (2.1 Meters) and Rear Entrance 6’5″ (1.9 Meters).
