Their website is sparse with pictures. Does anyone know where, on their property, the newer, two bedroom cabins are located? Are they near the road? Close together? With no pictures to go by, what do the cabins look like?

I don't know where on their property the newer cabins are located, but in all the times we have been in Jasper, we have never stayed there because Pine Bungalows have never really appealed to me - their location is too "exposed" to the highway. Were you looking at this website?? -http://www.pinebungalows.com/index.htm

I don't know what you are talking about "exposed to the highway"...I have been staying there for over 15 years now, and there is no visible highway..Becker's and Alpine Village are definately exposed to the highway...I find that Pine Bungalows is one of the most natural settings in Jasper and if you are looking for a totally relaxed getaway, then Pine Bungalows is the place...WE always stay in a 1 bedroom on the river, but there are some 2 bedrooms directly behind and them the rest are back a little further...The newer one's are a little more updated than the one's on the river, however, I read that they are working on updating those as well..They have balconies and are situated some on the road and some in the trees...I would just suggest if you make a booking to ask for the type and location that you are looking for..

The property is full of big trees and there is a variety of wildlife that passes through...Elk, bears, squirrels, etc...There is a small store and a laundromat...Perhaps you could request a map of the property to decide which cabin is best for you.

Tracy - Alpine Village is off the Icefield Parkway on a small narrow road leading to Old Fort Point; Becker's is "below"(downhill from) the Icefield Parkway; while Pine Bungalows are next to the Yellowhead Highway with all the truck traffic heading to B.C. etc.
That's what I meant by "exposed".

If you like Pine Bungalows please give us more detail about the units; I'm sure that readers of this forum would appreciate more information about all sorts of accommodation in the mountain parks.

I guess it depends what you are looking for...Like anything some people like some places and others don't..What attracts myself and my husband to Pine Bungalows is the fact that you are actually getting away from it all...No telephones or tv's in the rooms, no manicured lawns...just clean rustic cabins, with barbeques that you can still use burquettes!! Plus, through my research, they are probably also the cheapest cabins in Jasper...But anyhow, I always have to defend them as like I said, we have stayed there for at least 15 years in a row...And that beautiful smell of nature just keeps us coming back...Just recently we visited Jasper and stayed at the Jasper Park Lodge..Although the service was great and it was a really nice stay, we still missed sitting outside at Pine Bungalows and barbequing our meals!! (the reason we didn't stay there is because they were not opened yet)..Give Pine Bungalows a try!!

Yes, that is the web site I was referring to.
Made reservations at Pine Bungalows for a two night stay yesterday. My choices are limited b/c we needed a two night stay and there are 12 of us. No more than 4 to a cabin in the two bedrooms, and Pine Bungalows has a three night minimum in all of their cabins but the newer two bedrooms.
For the middle of July, Beckers is full (either that, or they passed on our request (?) and the response I received from Patricia Lake was this:
"Thank you for your request, we are however firm on our 3 night minimum in our summer season.
Terri"
Staying in town, the prices are just too dear. Besides these other locations sound much more appealing to us.
But, figuring the cabins are brand new, it makes sense that the location of them is towards the entrance of the property.
I was told our reservation was in a "nice part of the property"and, I believe she said, to the right of the main building (?). Is that correct?
Now armed with your description, it has prompted me to call back and request that our cabins are three that are in the woods.
With only two days, our time at the cabin will be short b/c of the exploring that we will need to fit in. I regret that a bit, as the setting (from what I can see and from what I've read) seems so lovely, that I would like to spend a day just relaxing and enjoying the property. I have read, somewhere, that in the middle of July the sun doesn't set until very late. Correct me if I am mistaken. If this is true, then we will enjoy the property as we BBQ our dinner for two nights.
At this late date, and for the middle of season, I feel grateful to have secured a reservation for three cabins and for two nights at all.
Thank you, it helped to read your responses.

hibiscushouse, to set your mind at ease, my husband's and my experience at Pine Bungalows last year was much the same as Tracy's. We stayed in a one-bedroom riverfront cabin. It was clean, comfortable, and rustic, everything we were looking for. The grounds were equally clean, but as Tracy mentioned, natural rather than manicured. It seemed far removed from the relative bustle of the town, and we saw elk and deer on the grounds. Very quiet and peaceful. We were very content there.

Yes,hibiscushouse,you are correct; the sun doesn't set until quite late. We once were hiking at 9 or so p.m.!
