Rocky Mountain Escape is a hidden gem! The lodge, nestled in the remote beauty of Rock Lake Park, offers a perfect retreat into nature. Julia and Gary are incredibly welcoming and make you feel safe and at home in the wilderness. The peaceful surroundings, beautiful hikes, and opportunities to explore nearby lakes make it a fantastic escape. We loved the barbecue evenings, learning to cook on a griddle, and experiencing the wood-burning stove. It was truly a unique and unforgettable stay. Highly recommend this getaway for anyone seeking a serene nature retreat.

It’s a very remote location without communication services and far from any communities. This was not a fault of the property but something unusual and slightly uncomfortable to experience.

The quality of the amenities, such as cooking utensils, bedding, and towels was very high. Great water pressure, with both hot and cold water. The cabin was completely stocked and prepared with everything guests would need and then some, the hosts had truly thought of everything. The cleanliness was impeccable.

Highly recommend Rocky Mountain Escape! I was a bit hesitate to choose Rocky Mountain Escape since my original goal was only to stay in Jasper. But after I did it, it's totally worthy with the long drive! The location is just next to rocky lake provincial park, it took us 1-2 hours from Jasper to the cabin and the road was off-road but we did it without 4x4. Julia was very nice to explain the situation and recommend us 4x4 actually. While we stayed there, we learnt how to cook with griddle and we took the trail to enjoy the nature. We also drove to Rocky lake provincial park to see the scenery and bump into over 15 Elks! Gary was very nice to show us how to use wood-burning stove, and it was really a cool experience for us! And also Gary recommended us few trails to see the nice view of the mother nature. This was the best cabin getaway experience I could ever have! Thank you Julia and Gary for such lovely cabin!

Gary and Julia were amazing and welcomed us with a big smile. The cabin was beautiful and the surrounding area was so incredibly peaceful and there are lots of great walks from the front door.

Amazing location of the lodge in the backcountry of Rock Lake Park, a beautiful remote nature park North East of Jasper. The couple who is running the lodge, Julia and Gary, are wonderful people, full of hospitality. They give you the feeling of being welcome and safe in the middle of nature. We loved the hikes, and the lake nearby, barbecue evenings and preparing pancakes in the morning on the griddle in front of the block house.

The cleanliness is overwhelming! Not what I expected from a cabin. Cleaner than some five star hotels I’ve stayed in! The owners are amazingly helpful and the serenity is unbelievable! Highly recommend for some peace and quiet! Words just can not describe how beautiful it is. Closest thing to natural wilderness I’ve seen anywhere around jasper or Banff. Will definitely book another stay!!!

Nothing.

Hosts were exceptional, very helpful and nice to be around. Lodges were beyond spotless and extremely well maintained. Using the griddle was fun and the scenery, wildlife and surrounding walks were amazing. We would 100 % return if going to Canada again.

There was nothing I didn't like, only the part when I had to leave.

The hospitality and accomodations were incredible. The peacefulness was wonderful.

Nothing, if you want outdoors this is the place to go.

The cabins are located in the peaceful and stunning Rock Lake Provincial Park and deer or other wildlife are never far away. It offers an amazing base to explore the park and the hosts have great suggestions for trails which are perfectly sign posted and marked. The hosts themselves, Gary and Julia, are excellent. They are always around to make sure you return safely from your adventures, and have great stories to share. The cabin itself is cosy and warm, exceptionally clean and very well equipped. From bathrobes to emergency lights, the hosts have truly thought of everything. We definitely want to come back and explore in summer!

Into the wild!!!!! Gary and Julia are so nice and attentive! We spent only 2 nights, it was amazing.

Nothing - but you should be aware it’s completely off grid! We loved that as time to disconnect but it’s not for everyone.

Complete and utter peacefulness! This is a unique stay in the middle of nowhere but it’s truly wonderful! The cabins are cozy and have everything you could need - it really feels like luxury after a day hiking! Gary is great and had lots of helpful recommendations for us including local hikes which were really special - arguably more beautiful at points than some of the more famous areas in Jasper! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

We had in perfect stay in very quiet nature in a very spacious and perfectly equipped cabin. We were a bit concerned about cooking for the family, but it was no problem at all. We did a couple of hiking trips which were suggested and are well documented by the hosts. The creek next to the cabins is beautiful and our kids had a great time there. The outlook on the wetlands west of Rock Lake was the most stunning view of our whole West Canada trip. Finally we got the nature experience we wanted after the overcrowded and busy hot spots of especially Banff Nationalpark. It was literally the extra mile we needed to go to reach the cabins, but it was worth it! Very nice and helpful hosts!

The track was challenging in a hire car but also a huge part of the adventure and forgotten immediately we arrived.

The stunning quality of the lig xabin and facilities. Being off grid. Walking on properly soft woodland moss. The warm welcome.

The roads were a bit wet due to flood.

Everything was amazing. We did not want to leave.

Everything is perfect!

Everything was above and beyond our expectations. From the impeccable cleanliness and quality of the cabin we stayed in (and all of the furniture and furnishings to boot), to the delicious meals we enjoyed courtesy of the griddle (seriously throw your bbq away and get one), and the stunning views of the mountainside, stars and planets at night around the beautiful bonfire area. The hosts, The Walkers, are so fabulous, generous and thoughtful to say the least. There is really not one comfort item or furniture choice they have not thought of to include in and around the escape property to really add that extra touch of modern comfort you would not expect from such an off grid experience. It was indescribably peaceful and awe inspiring to have all of the wonder and beauty of the Canadian Rockies in front of our eyes and at our fingertips without light or noise pollution, and to have the added amenities you would experience in a luxury hotel suite on top of getting back to nature and disconnecting…. priceless!!!
