The resort was great and loved the aesthetic of staying in a lodge. The room itself was spacious and beautiful with a fireplace, perfect for cosy evenings. The bed was comfy. Shower was great. Lovely room and wish we could have stayed longer. One evening there was even elk outside our lodge which made this special to see wildlife so close. Parking was a bit tricky so if getting there later evening might not get a space but there was plenty of space for us to park on the road.

They had a wedding all but one of the nights we were there. One was really loud late into the night. The shower seal was broken often getting water in the floor. Overall not bad. Staff was very nice and helpful.

Toilet would not stop running. The rooms have a paper thin walls which made sleeping, especially in the morning not enjoyable. The people above our room were up at 5AM you could hear them walking around loudly and basically heard their full conversation. Needless to say our bed felt like it was in their living room.

The first three days we stayed here (booked with Expedia) were great. The room was clean and comfortable. A little hard to light the fire as smoke does fill the room even with flume open but apart from that good. Staff and front desk very helpful. Room servicing average - good day one, virtually no service day two and three. Due to fires in Jasper we requested to stay an extra night. We were offered another room however the cost of the room was extravagant (over half of what we paid for three nights). The room was older, bathroom large but impractical. My husband could barely fit in the shower. Many of the lights in the room did not work. It’s a real shame as we had a good stay up until this point and would now no longer recommend when there are so many other options available. Restaurant served nice food at a reasonable price. Parking is difficult. Not enough for all the rooms.

Wonderful cabin feel and accomadations.
Our room was absolutely beautiful. The beds were very comfortable. The fireplace was beautiful and since it is a wood burning fireplace, we could still smell wood which did bother my allergies. There was a little porch out back which we enjoyed sitting and watching the small animals running. We saw two foxes. The bathroom was huge and very modern. Staff at the reception desk were so nice and friendly and willing to help however they could. I would highly recommend staying here.
