lodging in alberta
 

We are going to Banff, Lakue Louis and Jasper the last two weeks in July 2000. We would like to stay in a condo or cabin so we can cook some of our own meals. any good ideas or suggestions. <BR> <BR>thanks for your help

Try this number for Travel Alberta. <BR>1-800-661-8888. Ask for a road map and the Accommodations Guide. <BR> <BR>Also, go to any search engine and enter Travel Alberta as your key phrase. <BR>You will uncover many pages that are helpful. <BR> <BR>Banff and Lake Louise are expensive. <BR>I usually stay in the village of Field, which is 15 miles from Lake Louise. <BR>Many private homes in Field have small apartments for rent. We have stayed there two times: Mt. Stephens Guest House and Mt. Burgess Guest House. <BR>You can call Yoho National Park Headquarters and request a list of "Parks Approved" accommodations. <BR>There about 20 establishments that rent. <BR>For Jasper, get the "Parks Approved" <BR>list of rooms and apartments in private homes. The list is long, and a few places have accommodations. <BR>Other than that, Jasper House Bungalows have kitchens, but it is a popular place with the tour buses. Prices at Jasper House start at about $100, USD.

For Jasper, try Becker's Chalets. Just five minutes south of town. It is reasonable and convenient.

Beckes Roaring River establishment is also nice. I had forgotten about it. <BR>Last summer at Twin Falls Chalet, I met a fellow guest who is the daughter of the man who built the cabins. <BR>Both Beckers and Jasper House are on the river. From Jasper House we could walk down to the stream and watch the rafts go floating by. Everybody seemed to having a good time, so that is one activity you might consider -- a float trip.

I have a few links to hotels/condos in this area. Please check out: <BR>http://www.telusplanet.net/public/al...ravelpage.html <BR>
