Canada“I loved the wilderness vibe of it, and that it was very warm and had a fully equipped kitchen, as well as water, kettles, functioning stove, sauna, and plenty of space in living and main areas.” - Joanna Canada“The feel of wilderness, views and everything is easily accesible”
- Mark
Australia“Clean, comfortable, warm rooms and common area. Well stocked kitchen, sauna was fun. Not nearly as wilderness as might be expected, even an hour of wifi per night if the sun was good enough to charge the solar battery. Good location for some hikes...” - Meagan Australia“Cheap and accessible hostel with a good kitchen and communal fire. Beautiful surrounds and friendly staff.”

Germany“It is a lovely hostel in a forest setting. A couple of wooden cabins, all very comfy and well-heated. The kitchen is well equipped and the common room has some books and games plus a lovely fire place.” - Patricia Canada“This is my favorite rustic hostel in the Rockies. There are no showers but the outdoor sauna is perfect.”

- Melanie Canada“Very cozy and rustic place. Perfect location for our road trip to Jasper. I liked how the rooms were small cabins near the main cabin with the fireplace and the kitchen. The toilets were outside but they were super clean. Bring a head flashlight...”
