Going with the flow.
Pros:

We loved this place, off the grid, no cell service and limited WIFI, it had childhood summer camp vibes and it is located perfectly. It’s RUSTIC but that is why I adored it. Tiny restaurant, which after a day of hiking was perfect. It’s quiet and lovely. Bring a book and bug spray - you’ll love it.

Pros:

Was adequate, but very basic.
Air conditioning was very noisy so couldn't have it on overnight, but the room became very warm indeed.
Wouldn't stay again.

Pros:

Amazing hidden gem just off the beaten path. If you stay here you won’t be disappointed. Such cute one and 2 bedroom cabins. I’m so glad we decided to book here despite some bad reviews. The staff are very friendly too and have a little restaurant and snack items in lobby. Breakfast was beyond great. Eggs, homemade hash browns, bacon, sausage. I’m so glad we never made the mistake and stayed in town on the busy highway at any of the brand hotels.

Pros:

Not something to go crazy about. Sheets were dirty and distinct smell. Commode was loose and noisy. Bath tub was old and it was on its last leg.
Check in and check out was easy and polite.
Fan didn’t work in room. Obviously the cabin is without AC.
It is what it is.

Pros:

Wonderful staff and the views and surrounding area gorgeous. The frog and bird sounds were wonderful to hear.

It was a 20 minute drive up into the park and is NOT located within Clearwater.

The room was quite aged, and had a musty/mildew smell and there were several spider webs and their occupants.

Location was stellar, and a not very picky traveler will appreciate the peace and quiet very much.

Pros:

Closest hotel to fantastic Wells Gray Provincial Park. Lovely log cabin rooms under new friendly ownership. Only issue is food: as they only serve breakfast, and there are no other restaurants around, remember to bring what you want to eat with you!
