Deux chambres à coucher, deux salles de bains, cuisine complète, blanchisserie privée, salon appartement

Schon vor der Anreise waren Lydia und Gerry unser Wohl besorgt. Wir mussten die Fahrt nach Jasper wegen schlechter Straßenbedingungen (Schnee, Eis, Wind) um eine Tag verschieben. Wir hätten sogar kostenfrei einen Tag vorher anreisen können, was abereits bei uns nicht ging.

Die Wohnung ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht und mit noch mehr. Man fühlt sich sofort zu Hause. Lydia und Gerry versorgten uns mit Tips für Restaurants, Geschäfte und Touren.

Bear's Den liegt in einer ruhigen Seitenstraße, und da Jasper ein kleiner Ort ist, erreicht man alles innerhalb weniger Minuten zu Fuß.

Alles in allem hatten wir herrliche Tage und würden gerne wiederkommen

We spent a fantastic week at the Bear's Den with our five and two year old daughters exploring the hiking and sights in the Jasper region. The Bear's Den was a great place to return to each day and really made us feel like home. While it isn't decorated with the latest and greatest style, Lydia and Gerry have gone out of their way to make it feel like home. They provided so many extras in the kitchen, laundry room and bathrooms. The unit was open and roomy and was spacious enough for the four of us to relax and play. It was one of the most comfortable and homelike places we have ever stayed.

Lydia and Gerry themselves were very pleasant and helpful. They were available, but not at all overbearing. Lydia suggested several of their favorite hikes to us and gave us a great overview of the region. They provided suggestions on local restaurants and shops. They even made sure to save us a parking spot on a very busy weekend. Our girls enjoyed joining Lydia on the front porch as she sang with her ukulele.

The location was centrally located. Once we came home each day from our hikes, we never had to get in the car to go within the town. We walked to the grocery store and restaurants. There was a park and swimming pool across the street.

We had a great view from our dining room window of Whistler Peak and an even better view from the front porch.

The only complaint we had was that the front bedroom could have used light darkening shades. With the sun not setting until after 10 p.m., it was hard for our daughter to fall asleep. Otherwise, this was the perfect place to spend a week.

In our years of travel this has been our best vacation rental experience. The Bear's Den is an immaculate, spacious and fully equipped suite. Lydia and Gerry are exceptional hosts who went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, including cheerfully dealing with a very late arrival. Beyond that, however, they shared information with us and let us in on Jasper's hidden gems (and a heads-up on making sure we had our grocery shopping done before the local stores started to run low).

The suite has more amenities than any other rental we have ever experienced. The kitchen is not just well equipped, it was stocked with everything you need to call it home. Bathrooms were the same, with supplies to cover those "things you might have forgotten".

The beds are superb and a good night's sleep is assured.

The location is mere minutes from the town with restaurants, pubs, grocery stores and pharmacies within a very short walk. In the evening you can sit outside and gaze at the Whistlers and Mount Edith Cavell. Trail access to low country trails is a two minute walk.

Thank you, Lydia and Gerry for being such wonderful hosts and treating us to your awesome Bear's Den.

SO well thought out! Our hosts generous and friendly. The beds so comfortable in this sweet old home, the kitchen with everything on hand, the location at the foot of trail heads, and 1 block from the main street of Jasper. A perfect place to settle into the Canadian Rockies! Really grateful to have been here in late April/early May - NO CROWDS!

We had such a lovely stay here in July. The two bedroom apartment was immaculate. Everything you could ever possibly need or want was in this unit. The hosts are so nice and helpful. The beds were very comfy and having a washer and dryer was great. Easy to walk to Main Street for shopping and restaurants. Very quiet and very peaceful and very private. We stayed for five nights and would thoroughly recommend.
