Tete Jaune Lodge

After riding close to 900 kms on our motorcycles from Fort McMurray, we checked in to the Tete Jaune Lodge. Check in was simple, the owner very friendly. The lodge rooms are large, clean & very comfortable. We walked a few steps down the hill to the restaurant which is right on the river. Buffet dinner, albeit expensive, was delicious. After dinner, we had nice showers & a good sleep in very comfortable beds. The restaurant is not open for breakfast (brunch on Sundays only) but the hotel owner recommended a nearby restaurant for us. Very, very lovely lodge. We hope to return sometime.

Highly recommend this hidden treasure. Beautiful location, exceptionally clean grounds. They have considered everything to make your stay enjoyable. Flush toilets, great showers, bath mats an unexpected nice touch and a washing station with hot water you can utilize. The cabins are simple but clean and well kept. Ted and family take great pride in grounds and it is evident everywhere you look. The restaurant is also great, a nice touch after a long day of travel. The food was super, hats off the the chef and staff!

Wish we had stayed 2 nights. It was deceiving at first due to the age of the building. Room was large and beds were comfortable and, check in staff were more than willing to help make your stay more comfortable. The view of the river and mountains was incredible. The reason for only 4 out of 5 was because we were there at the beginning of the week and the Restaurant wasn’t open. It would have been great to try that, especially since it sits right on the river.

Spent 2 nights in our RV on this site and would like to visit regularly if we lived in Canada. The washrooms were to a very high standard and the views from the site are stunning with its location next to the river. We also ate in the restaurant and had a wonderful meal.

I booked a room through *********** about 3 weeks ago before taking my mother on a trip to Valemount. I chose this place after seeing their pictures with the nice sitting areas and the building next to the river. We got there around 6 pm. There was an old gentleman who did my check in. I was given a room (I think room 4 or 5) in a building by a busy road. The rooms next to ours were occupied by some firefighters who were smoking by their door. The room was very dark and it smelled like a smoking room based on the strong weird smell we noticed inside. The door lock was very old (we were given one old style key) and seemed unreliable. No internet password was offered to us, so I don't know if the place has wifi! I went back and asked the gentleman if he was sure that the room he gave me was a non-smoking room. He said: "Why? Do you want to smoke?" Than I asked him if he could give us a different room in the building by the river. I mentioned that the room he gave us was by a busy road and next to some firefighters with their pick up trucks parked right in front of our door, so I doubted the room would be quiet. The gentleman became increasingly frustrated and started an argument about the firefighters, raising his voice. He told me: "If you are SPOILED, you can take your money back and leave!" I was shocked! I told him that I was looking for a room in the building by the river, as I am a nurse working in a hospital and I came there to spend four relaxing days. He cut me off in the middle of my sentence: "I don't care why you are here!" I said: "so, you don't care about your customers!" When I told him that I visited Valemount last year, he asked me why I booked at his place now. I told him that the nice pictures with the rooms in the building by the river made me come at his place. It was around 0630 pm when I returned to the room to look for other motels around. I was luck to find plenty of rooms available in Jasper which was only one hour away. I was extremely tired after being on the rood the entire day, however, I realized that it was better to leave this place than staying at a place of someone who does not have manners, and verbally abuses his customers. I got my money back and returned to Jasper. While leaving this place,I told this guy that what made me leave was mainly his attitude and lack of customer service! Bottom line is that the gentleman owner of the place needs to learn some customer service skills, otherwise they would lose customers!

We usually go 2 or 3 times a year for the last 4 years during the summer and stay in one of the cabins. Very clean bathrooms. Friendly staff and dog friendly (we take 4!) with no extra charge! Only an hour from Jasper for a day trip. Also close to Mount Robson. Great place to stay for 3 or 4 days. Highly recommend.
