Such a cute place. Our room had a little front porch area where we had coffee in the morning and a drink at night. Restaurant was good (a little $$, but good). Really enjoyed our stay there. Don’t forget to visit the actual falls down the road! Would love to come back again!
This is the only lodging/dining spot in a distance, but it turns out to be a delightful gem. The property offers cabins that have a camping feel but with the amenities. Restaurant on the premise that serves quite decent food. A small gift store. If you take a walk to the back of the property is the Sunwapta Fall, very nice.
Was expecting more of a mountain Lodge rather than individual cabins. Still very comfortable but some noise from neighbours. Good breakfast and restaurant for dinner. Staff friendly and helpful.

Good food and excellent service but facilities rustic. Poor internet connection in cottage and bathroom worn.
Everyone was so nice, much appreciated after a long day of travels. I especially appreciated that the front desk person walked me to my room and explained the property amenities. Comfortable and quiet stay with a great breakfast.

Location is excellent. Rooms are marginal but clean. Restaurant is basic.
Great location, quiet and very close to Sunwapta falls, just 5 min to walk after the dinner. Comfortable and clean cabins. The restaurant was great, we enjoyed celebrating my birthday over there. Stuff was very nice and helpful.If we go to Jasper again we will definitely stay there again.
This is a great place to stay inside the park. It is walkable distance to the falls. The restaurant has a good selection of items on the menu (including vegetarian). The self-service breakfast has a good selection in the morning. The restaurant staff is very friendly. This is a great place to stay. I give it 5*****.
Stayed twice, great location, staff we're super friendly and knowledgeable. Parking can get full and breakfast can get busy, but a great location for exploring the area. You can walk to the falls.
Wifi limited, but enjoyed the time to chill on the deck outside our twin queen room. The single queen cabin was particularly wonderful, with a fireplace.
Would definitely stay again and highly recommended.

Staff are friendly and willing to help. The only problem bother us a lot is no wifi in the room.
We spent two nights here in a cosy cabin which was well located and suited us perfectly on a trip between Banff and Jasper. This is so convenient for the Colombia Icefield. The staff were lovely. The dining was surprisingly delicious and high quality with great wine. Thank you!
Excellent location, terrific staff. Very friendly. Great breakfast options. May seem expensive to some but it was worth the price for us. Especially given that it’s located at the Icefield Parkway and it’s a seasonal property. Highly recommended
We really enjoyed our 2 nights here. Nice restaurant. All of the staff have been incredibly friendly and helpful. Loved hiking to the falls. Bathroom was dated, but shower had full pressure and was plenty hot. Honestly, it’s a rustic place, so didn’t expect fancy. Beds felt new and were really comfortable. Staff provided eco logs and matches. Would definitely recommend staying here!
Fourplex cabins. Beautiful area. 30 minute drive from Jasper. No cell phone or internet. Some tv reception. Older facility. Not for handicapped or elderly. Needs grab bars in bathroom. Staff was friendly and courteous. Enjoyed our stay away from the crowds of Jasper.
Property was further than expected from Jasper. The only dining option for 30 minutes drive is the resort restaurant. The cabin quarters were cramped and walls quite thin, could hear adjoining cabins movements and tv quite well.
The Wi-if is very very bad. The pathway to the cabins is nice looking for an outdoorsy feel but you can’t drag your suitcase over the uneven randomly placed flagstone and it is also something to be careful on for us older folks.
They did have some amazing water pressure in the shower, the staff was all friendly, the food and fireplace in the restaurant were enjoyable.
Staying in a room without WiFi and a heater can be quite inconvenient, especially when you consider the cost of the accommodation. The lack of WiFi means you may not be able to stay connected with loved ones or get work done efficiently during your stay. Additionally, not having a heater in the room can make for a chilly and uncomfortable experience, especially during colder months.
In this situation, having only a fireplace as a source of warmth may not provide enough heat to keep the room cozy and comfortable. Depending on the size of the room and the efficiency of the fireplace, you may find yourself feeling quite chilly and unable to fully relax and enjoy your time in the space.
It's important to consider these factors when booking accommodations, as the absence of amenities like WiFi and a heater can impact your overall experience and satisfaction with your stay.
