What's Great
Travel + Leisure says... "Secluded 1922 lakeside lodge with family-friendly cabins and a mountain-style golf course, spread across 700 acres in Jasper National Park. Rooms to Book: Avoid smaller standards; Lakeside Cabin Deluxes ($50 more) have a more affordable (if partially obstructed) view of Lac Beauvert. Insider Tip: Enjoy a glass of wine while sitting out on the sundeck on Lac Beauvert. The southward view sweeps the Whistler mountain range and Mt. Edith Cavell." And Travel + Leisure says... "Active types will love the Stanley Thompson 18-hole course and on-site horseback riding. But for those ready to relax, a seat in the classic wooden lodge overlooking snowcapped Mount Edith Cavell and sparkling Lac Beauvert is just the ticket. Guest Tip: Chris and Bill Pickering of San Diego, who have returned annually since they honeymooned here in 1990, book the same lakefront junior suite, Room 510, every year. “It’s not as palatial—or expensive—as the cottages,” says mom Chris. “But it has a picture window and an amazing view. When the kids were young, it was especially handy because of its proximity to the lodge’s game room.” National Geographic Says... "Cedar chalets and log cabins on 700 Canadian Rockies acres (283 hectares). Country-style decor. Views of blue, blue Lake Beauvert. Local storyteller shares Jasper lore. Nearby: Miette Hot Springs for a dip, Marmot Basin for skiing, Icefields Parkway for a scenic drive. 446 rooms, suites, and cabins."
