Layers are Your Best Friend

The weather near Jasper can change in an instant, from brilliant sunshine to a cool mountain breeze. To stay comfortable, think in threes:

  • Base Layer: A moisture-wicking shirt (merino wool or synthetic).

  • Mid-Layer: A warm fleece, down vest, or wool sweater.

  • Outer Layer: A waterproof and windproof shell jacket. This system allows you to adapt to any weather, whether you’re hiking a trail or sipping coffee on your cabin porch. It’s the key to enjoying our mountain cabin rentals in any season.

The "Cozy" Kit

Your cozy cabin is already set for relaxation, but you can elevate the experience by packing a small "cozy kit." Think thick wool socks or slippers for padding around the cabin, your favorite book you’ve been meaning to finish, and perhaps a travel-sized board game or a deck of cards.

Adventure-Ready Gear

You’re on the doorstep of Jasper National Park, so adventure calls! Be ready to answer by packing a sturdy daypack. Inside it, you’ll want a reusable water bottle, high-energy snacks, and, most importantly, proper footwear. Broken-in hiking boots are a must. Don't forget your camera and binoculars for wildlife viewing, and always carry bear spray (and know how to use it) for cabin retreats in bear country.

Provisions and Kitchen Comforts

Our cabin rentals come equipped with kitchens or kitchenettes, giving you the freedom to cook your own meals. While you can shop locally, it’s wise to bring some essentials from home. Plan your meals and bring your favorite coffee or tea, cooking oil, and a few essential spices.

The Practical "Don't Forgets"

Finally, there are the practical items that make any cabin stay smoother. A headlamp or flashlight is invaluable for navigating outside after dark. A basic first-aid kit is always a smart idea for any outdoor trip. And, depending on the season, don’t forget sunscreen, insect repellent, and a good hat.
