Very well kept character lodge. Great setup with a variety of room layouts and a central firepit/patio area. Lots of grass and open space, on a quiet road in a gorgeous setting. Staff were fantastic, rooms were extremely clean and thoughtfully appointed. Hard to improve on perfection. If you're looking for a laid-back quiet place to stay for a night or 5 away, this is the place!

A solid 3.5. not amazing, but nothing bad either.
A decent place to stay. It's a bit dated. The bed was nice and comfortable, the couch not so much. Plenty of hot water. Comes with dishes to use in the kitchenette. It was a very useful place on our trip.

Alberta to BC Stopover
A bout of snow delayed our trip back to BC from Edmonton. Clearwater was the closest destination. Overlook Inn and Cabins graciously accommodated us and our pet. We were so pleasantly surprised at how uncomplicated the registration process was and how extremely delightful the young lady at the desk was. The cabin was a pleasant surprise. Very, very rustic with the most comfortable four poster bed in the bedroom! A second bed in the main room was almost as comfortable. They floor was clean, clean, the bathroom was small but clean, the kitchen was adequate with stove, fridge, micro, coffee pot, toaster. we could have lived there so comfortably for months. Didn't get a chance to see the river as we arrived late and left early. Definitely a great place to stay.

Cute cabins near the park
The cabins are basic but comfortable and cute. The service was really outstanding and super friendly, which makes such a huge difference. We received a free cabin upgrade, which was much appreciated and were even offered hiking poles to borrow for snowshoeing. The kitchen was great --- a full oven/stove, fridge/freezer and there were all the regular applicances including coffeemaker, kettle and toaster. There is no corkscrew though, so be aware if you bring a bottle of wine! Overall, a great place to stay, good value and I would definitely come back!

It was much better than we were expecting. It’s obviously not a five star hotel, but the cabins were clean and cozy, the beds were comfy, the kitchenette With dishes made life easier Since we were there for a hockey tournament. Check in was easy and the drop box for keys made checking out simple.Great service as well!

We did not stay at this property - but were switched to the Jasper Inn with a view off the porch to Dutch Lake. It was great- though the room sizes were very small- no closets space and minimal walking space. Everything else was top notch though !

Could use some maintenance
A pleasant, quiet location about 1.5 km from the shopping precinct of this small town. The motel suite consisted of several fairly small rooms - a lounge area; a quite well- equipped kitchen; a bedroom and a bathroom. The staff were friendly. My main concern was the lack of proper maintenance. The blind in the bedroom had several broken slats, which allowed early morning light into the room; the fridge made the strangest sounds - a sort of moaning which made the place sound haunted during the night; the bathtub plughole drained very slowly, meaning we were in standing in a pool of water during our showers; the bed was lumpy and soft and we did not sleep well; worst of all, the power socket behind the fridge was hanging out by its wires - which is very dangerous.

Weekend get a way
Clean and quiet cabin. When I booked the room online the display said 2 beds, but when we arrived we were told I didn't request a second bed. We were upgraded to a cabin which was fine, but my son ended up sleeping on a futon that was shorter than he was. The shower also was very small.

Response from Shannon on Sep 19, 2018
As we explained upon your arrival, we are available to take bookings from several different websites. Occasionally it happens that we get more requests for a specific type of room than we have availability. When this happens, we have to make adjustments to the best of our reasoning and ability. You were upgraded at no extra cost. I'm sorry that the futon was too short and the shower was too small, but they are a standard size. Thank you for staying with us. All the best!

We booked just one night on our way from Whistler to Jasper - the stay was nice at Watauga and completely served the purpose. It is a bit outside the town so you definitely need a car, nice and quiet area, small kitchen in room.

Not quite what the reviews say.
On arrival we realised we'd made a mistake. Had booked for 2 nights and even though we had to pay for the 2nd night we only stayed the one. We booked 2 cabins on the good reviews and not the price. Unfortunately the rustic quaint cabin turned out to be a huge disappointment. I would call it tired full of mismatched cheap furniture. The sheets were clean but the bedspread was old stained and crumpled and the carpet needed a good clean. Cabin 2 had been renovated so looked a little better.

A nice little hotel with cabins and a motel portion (I stayed in the latter). Nice location close to the Thompson River and well set up for those who want a room with a good kitchenette. It was nice to have a kettle again, something that seems to have disappeared from 90% of the hotel rooms out there.

Stopover stay
We stayed for one night during our 2 week tour from Calgary to Jasper. Motel room initially cold but soon warmed up. Had all we needed for the night, buying food from local grocery store (huge) to cook dinner and breakfast. Room was spotlessly clean. Only small point was that we booked almost a year before visit and we discovered at another motel that taxes had increases since. Over a previous email correspondence and at check in it appeared to us that they were not too keen on honouring our price and we would have struggled if we had not bought a copy of our booking with us.
