He gave me a good rundown of where everything was at .He gave me some good tips on where to get food , gas and where and when to see sites and good hiking spots. The cabin was very clean and so was the bathroom . ##### chris Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### David, Michigan Jul 5, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Want to experience nature? This is the place! When the place advertised no running water or electricity, I was a bit worried, but given how all other area hotels were booked, I didn't have much of an option. It turned out to be a great experience. They have a kitchen with all the needed plates, pots, pans, utensils, etc. Plus, the Lake Louise hostel allows you to take showers there, which completely eliminated fears of staying there. I had great fun meeting other people during the stay, so would I go back? Absolutely! ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### rob, toronto, on Jun 4, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice cabin next to a creek Wish I could have stayed longer, had an itinerary to follow. Saw a sign: free stays to those who volunteers ##### rob Stayed 1 night in Jun 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### CHUNGFU Sep 24, 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### 原野平價住宿 原野平價住宿 ##### CHUNGFU ### 6/10 Okay #### sungmin Aug 28, 2016 There's no shower and modern style toilet (There's only squat toilet) In other words, this is little better than camping. However it's cheap and you can feel the nature. Remember you need to check in before 10PM because literally you cannot find the hostel after 10PM because of darkness. You can't even see 3 meter forward and there's no light in the night. Therefore you have to walk into darkness and that's very spooky. ##### sungmin ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Nov 27, 2015 Liked: Staff & service It is a wilderness hostel so don't expect a regular hotel but I got exactly what I wanted. Very beautiful area and a nice place to get away from it all ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Bellstar Suites at Solara Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Canmore-Hotels-Solara-Resort-Spa-Bellstar-Hotels-Resorts.h3912100.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Lloydminster](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermilion-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Lloydminster.h4793623.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn by Hilton Lloydminster](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermilion-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-By-Hilton-Lloydminster.h9259829.Hotel-Information) > > [Forest Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Jasper-Hotels-Sawridge-Inn-Jasper.h126160.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Medicine Hat](https://www.expedia.ca/Medicine-Hat-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-Medicine-Hat.h12755795.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Garden Medicine Hat Conference Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Medicine-Hat-Hotels-HomeStay-Inn-Suites.h37498122.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Chateau Inn Sylvan Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Red-Deer-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Chateau-Inn-Sylvan-Lake.h4635922.Hotel-Information) > > [Canalta Jurassic – Drumheller](https://www.expedia.ca/Drumheller-Hotels-Drumheller-Canalta.h3750662.Hotel-Information) > > [TownePlace Suites by Marriott Medicine Hat](https://www.expedia.ca/Medicine-Hat-Hotels-TownePlace-Suites-Medicine-Hat.h38924456.Hotel-Information) > > [ iHOTEL & Conference Center Red Deer](https://www.expedia.ca/Red-Deer-Hotels-IHOTEL-Conference-Center-Red-Deer.h10229.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Sylvan Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Red-Deer-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Sylvan-Lake.h12468769.Hotel-Information) > > [Quality Hotel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Peace-River-Hotels-Sawridge-Inn-Peace-River.h1772996.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada by Wyndham Wainwright](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermilion-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Wainwright.h2728956.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Lloydminster by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermilion-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hotel-Suites-Lloydminster.h1668456.Hotel-Information) > > [Camrose Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Camrose-Hotels-Hotel-Camrose-Resort-Casino.h4868881.Hotel-Information) > > [Miette Mountain Cabins](https://www.expedia.ca/Pocahontas-Hotels-Pocahontas-Cabins.h977909.Hotel-Information) > > [Elkwater Lake Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Medicine-Hat-Hotels-Elkwater-Lake-Lodge.h4324228.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada by Wyndham Medicine Hat](https://www.expedia.ca/Medicine-Hat-Hotels-Imperial-Inn-Medicine-Hat.h3761025.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Brooks](https://www.expedia.ca/Medicine-Hat-Hotels-Days-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Brooks.h519995.Hotel-Information) > > [Vegreville Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermilion-Hotels-Vegreville-Suites.h7723934.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Cold Lake Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Bonnyville-Hotels-Best-Western-Cold-Lake-Inn.h1037665.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada by Wyndham Pincher Creek](https://www.expedia.ca/Waterton-Park-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Pincher-Creek.h1853151.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Premier Executive Residency Medicine Hat](https://www.expedia.ca/Medicine-Hat-Hotels-BW-Premier-Executive-Residency-Medicine-Hat.h54210755.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada by Wyndham Ponoka](https://www.expedia.ca/Red-Deer-Hotels-Canalta-Ponoka.h1216216.Hotel-Information) > > [Prairie Moon Inn Sylvan Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Red-Deer-Hotels-Prairie-Moon-Inn-Sylvan-Lake.h59566412.Hotel-Information) > > [Jasper Inn & Suites by INNhotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Jasper-Hotels-Jasper-Inn-Suites-By-Sunrise.h32667087.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Lacombe Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Red-Deer-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Lacombe-Inn-Suites.h12009669.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Grande Prairie](https://www.expedia.ca/Grande-Prairie-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Grande-Prairie.h2595556.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Meridian Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermilion-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Meridian-Hotel.h1707050.Hotel-Information)
