Stone Gatehouse in Mt. Robson Park Near Jasper Nat. Park, Ab

*Please be aware that we cannot supply accommodation to sledders at this time.

The Goat's Head Gatehouse is a quaint, stone chalet designed in the image of National Park Gatehouses and is surrounded by the wilderness of Mt. Robson Park. The unique two story structure offers a sun room with floor to ceiling windows and a massive natural stone wood burning fireplace.

French doors open to a flagstone patio from which to enjoy a morning coffee or, for an evening barbecue to grill that perfect fresh caught trout. The patio overlooks a lovely flower garden with hummingbirds and butterflies and in the background, the glacial peaks of Mt. Robson, the highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies.

The post and beam structure of the Gatehouse was made from pine-beetle killed trees that were cut on the property. Stones for the exterior and interior were gathered locally from quarries and cliff sides but one stone from each of the mountain national parks of western North America were also embedded within the walls.

The wood furnishings and woodwork in the gatehouse were made locally by artisans using reclaimed and recycled wood.

The kitchen contains all the amenities needed to make complete meals and make your stay comfortable. It will be equipped with many staples and pantry items so you need not purchase bulky products to carry around e.g. coffee, tea, condiments, spices, oils, vinegars, etc.

There are two baths, one with a free standing large tub in a cedar plank spa-like bathroom---a perfect way to relax and refresh after a day of sight-seeing or hiking. A walk-in shower with stone walls for that ‘au natural’ feeling is on the main level.

The two bedrooms in the loft each contain a queen, custom-made platform bed---both bedrooms overlook the sun room from a balcony. Each bedroom opens to the upstairs bathroom.

Take a gentle hike right from the front door into pristine meadows (a short trail has been mapped out for you) or walk around the twelve acre private property to find the best view of Mt. Robson and Swift Current Creek. A natural waterfall on Swift Current Creek is 300 meters from your door. Sometimes the view is so stunning it's difficult to know which direction to point your camera!

There are many walks and hikes within 5 km of the Gatehouse. Rearguard Falls is the furthest point of travel for Pacific Salmon and they can be seen in late summer by driving a few km and taking a short walk to the waterfall. Overlander Falls and Hargreaves Canyon are scenic short hikes that are also staging areas for raft tours and high level kayaking. The Trail head for the Swift Current Creek trail starts within walking distance of the Gatehouse and leads up the Revelation Valley (Swift Current Creek) to the head wall of the 91st highest waterfall in the world (currently inaccessible except for real adventurers). The world famous Berg Lake Trail and the start of the 110 km long north boundary trail are also within 5 km.

There are restaurants and shops in the nearby towns of Valemount and Jasper---a 55 minute drive---that offer additional amenities, recreational activities and, world renowned mountain vistas.

Quiet Retreat
Perfect place if you want an intimate getway outside of town. The home is beautiful, and relaxing. Your 30 minutes from town and hour to Jasper, but very easy drives. I would definitely stay again.

Beautifully Designed Getaway
The Stone Gatehouse was exactly as depicted and did not disappoint! Plenty of room for two couples. Carmen & Glenn were extremely friendly and helpful. And although we never saw any signs of any wildlife on our hikes around Mt. Robson & Jasper, it was nice to have the Gatehouse's bear spray at our disposal.

Family gathering
Home is light and airy and open, beautifully constructed. It has everything you need to prepare meals. It is a great location to access lots of hikes. We enjoyed staying on the property with relatives in another rental in the same location. Two factors to be aware of: there is not a lot of privacy and it is an hour drive to Jasper. These were not an issue for us but good to know.

Charming hideaway
We loved our stay at the Stone Gatehouse. It is well-appointed and comfortable. We had everything we needed for a wonderful 4-night stay. The location is perfect being near Mt. Robson and Valemount. We were able to hike, enjoy great meals and simply relax in our cozy cottage. The architecture is truly beautiful and the owners take great care in the upkeep both inside and out. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. It is a gem!

June 2023 Mount Robson Gate House Stay
Excellent location for all scenic places of interest, as well as easy drive to Jasper for leisurely 6 course meals and touring Valemont. It was our first time in Mount Robson and even better than Jasper which we frequently go to. The Gate House is a place we are planning on returning for another vacation or respite soon. It is lovely, appreciated the cleanliness and seclusion even if it is just right off the road. Nature right outside our doors. First thing we noticed walking throughout the house was how well built it was. Also Enjoyed the complimentary wine and fresh flowers throughout the house. The drinking water was excellent. Thank you to our hosts!

The Perfect House in the Perfect Setting
We spent 3 wonderful days at the Goat’s Head Gatehouse. It’s kind of a magical place! My wife and I stayed with our two adult children, and it was perfect for four people. It’s even better in person than in the pictures. The architectural detail is amazing, and the setting couldn’t be better. One of the highlights were seeing a mother, black bear, and her three very young cubs. We saw them on three occasions, and even saw the cubs climb a tree. Carmen was wonderful, providing many tips throughout our stay, but not once feel intrusive. We would love the opportunity to stay here again!

Beautiful Cottage
Perfect all around! On the outside it’s a cute English cottage with nice flower boxes accenting the stone. Inside is a warm mountain cabin. Love all the windows and wood. This home is spotless, clean, well kept. The owners are nearby, respond quickly to all questions. Wonderful stay, would highly recommend!
