My husband and I stayed at the Tete Jaune Lodge for one night while traveling to Jasper National Park. The lodge is located off the highway and since there are few places to stay in this part of the country, it was convenient. The lodge is located close to Mount Robson Park and Rearguard Falls. This is a cute motel with nice, fairly large and clean rooms. We enjoyed our stay here. It is so convenient to be able to drive right up to a room. Although we checked in late afternoon, our room was not ready and we had to wait for him to finish cleaning it which was okay with us. The property presents as rather laid back with a casual atmosphere. The scenery is lovely as the motel is near the Frazier River with outstanding views of the Canadian Rockies.

The restaurant on the property is another story. Located right near the river in a historic trapper's cabin, it is very cozy and atmospheric inside. A unique place to eat and not really a restaurant; a bit of a mystery as far as the role of this place. It seemed to exist to provide meals for people there on group outdoor excursions and not for the typical tourist or passerby to the area. The hours it opened were questionable, menus were not available and the one dinner we had was served "buffet" style and consisted of pizza, salad and soup that we served ourselves. At the end of the meal we even put our own dishes in the bucket to be cleaned. Two couples who I believed were visiting from Europe asked the chef/proprieter what kind of soup was in the crockpot and she said, "vegetable, potatoes, whatever everyone didn't eat from the week before. The food was good, but it was a little like eating at someone's house and an amusing experience, one we did not have at any other eating establishment while on our trip through the Canadian Rockies. I guess a continental breakfast was included in the room although this was somewhat vague, especially the hours it was available. There were a few things out when I went the next morning and the chef commented that there were some breakfast items; i.e. eggs, and pancakes that a "group" she had prepared for had not eaten and were left for others.

So, in closing I would say a good stopping off place for the night if you are in the area.
