We didn’t want to leave! Cleanest property I ever stayed at. I wish I booked more than the 3 nights. I will come back again and stay longer. Beautiful property and so many trails and wildlife!

Thank you, Holly! We can't wait to have you back for longer next time 😊. All the Best, Gary & Julia
We had a wonderfully relaxing time in the log cabin. It was a haven of peacefulness that allowed us to absorb the surrounding clean air and spectacular scenery. The amenities of the cabin were top class and provided everything we needed. Julia and Gary were marvellous hosts and we would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this location.

So pleased you had a Wonderful time. The pleasure was all ours. Can't wait to host you again. Thank You !!
We knew that this place would be secluded and offer peace outside of the busy national parks. What we didn’t expect was the private hiking trails, amazing hosts, and enchanted feeling of the surrounding forests. It is far from town, but worth the extra drive if you don’t want to be surrounded by other tourists.

Drew, thank you for sharing your amazing stay here with others. We love our enchanted forest trails and totally agree the extra fews miles to get here is sooo worth it !!! Off the beaten path and totally secluded. Cheers, Julia and Gary 😊
Gary and Julia are very kind and great hosts. My husband and I loved so much the cabin and our time there. The cabin is very clean and cozy. We appreciated being out of the city and not having phone signal. We highly recommend and make sure you book minimum 4 days because we stayed for 2 nights and it wasn't enough for us.
Thank you very much Julia and Gary. See you next time!!!

Helena, thank you so much for taking the time to Share your Experience here at the 'Escape'. We very much enjoyed meeting you both and look forward to welcoming you back anytime for a longer stay !! Thanks again, Julia and Gary :)
If you’re looking for a true wilderness experience with all the comforts of home, then look no further! The Walkers are so friendly and have thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. Explore the nearby creek flowing through the property, take a short drive to beautiful Rock Lake and or set out on one of the numerous hiking trails, you’ll have plenty to enjoy. Or simply take it all in with a glass of wine and sit by the fire surrounded by mountains. Almost too good too be true!

Gillian, thank you so much for taking the time to write us a Wonderful review of our property. We are so pleased you had such a good time here. Thanks again !!
We enjoyed our 2 night stay immensely! The cleanliness and attention to detail was amazing! Gary and Julia have thought of everything here! Bring your clothes and food and you are set! I enjoyed cooking on a griddle and am seriously considering getting one! In any direction you walk, take your camera..the views are so pretty! We even kind of enjoyed the snow in June! We highly recommend this property...take a break from all your devices and even the clock and go up to RMEC to recharge yourself!!

Michelle, thank you so much for your comments. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with others :) Cheers, Gary and Julia
We had three wonderful days at this truly remote and off-grid location - just what we were looking for. The road to the cabins is an adventure (and we saw a black bear) but worth every minute when you get there. Our cabin, no.1, was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed, and lovely little extras. Hosts Julia and Gary could not have been more welcoming and hospitable and made our stay a home from home. They truly have their hearts in their escape cabins and deserve every success we are sure will come their way! What a lovely couple. We did several trails (don’t miss the Rock Lake trail), and there are great trails from the cabins themselves (be sure to visit George Malcolm!!!! 😁). Without a doubt, a 5-star experience.

Gordon, what an absolute pleasure it was to meet you both and have you stay with us. We truly enjoyed meeting you and chatting with you both. Thank you so much to taking the time to write a review and share your experience here. We really do appreciate it. Best Wishes, Julia & Gary !!
We could not have been happier with our stay, and we were honestly disappointed to have to leave. The journey was part of the fun as you venture to the property you really get a sense of just how deep in the wilderness you were getting. The drive was quite easy, the instructions provided by The Walkers were spot on and Google maps also worked quite well (follow it all the way until you see the wooden Rocky Mountain Escapes sign, then turn to that instead). Gary gave us a perfect tour of the property including some amazing insight to hikes in the area. We ended up doing a 9.5km down the river towards a nearby mountain and it was stunning. The cabin was extremely comfortable, stunningly clean, and equipped with more amenities than we expected, very good hot water. Everything with the stay was absolutely lovely and we can't wait to come back.

We loved our time here. Beautiful wood cabin in the woods that offers you a chance to completely unplug and decompress. We arrived on the later side and let Gary and Julia know. They were there to greet us and help us familiarize ourselves with the cabin. Gary had a fire going and ready for us! It is a lovely space with everything you need to enjoy your time there. Well stocked kitchen. We particularly enjoyed cooking on the griddle outside and enjoying the scenery while doing so. Our host left a bottle of wine, some chips and a welcome letter. We wanted to go fishing and Gary was happy to help us set this up online. Gary and Julia went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We did not want to leave! I would suggest traveling during the day if possible as with all great off the grid places it is more challenging to travel to at night. We treasured our time here and did not want to leave! We hope to return soon!

Schönes Häuschen aber sehr abgelegen
Die Hütte selbst ist sehr schön, ist aber so aufgestellt dass sie leider keinen Ausblick hat. Die Anreise von Jasper aus ist ein mehrstündiges Abenteuer. Von Hinton aus geht es erst einmal 40 km auf einer asphaltierten Straße, dann 26 km auf einer nicht asphaltierten Piste, die man mit einem normalen PKW mit gewissen Risiken bei guten Wetterbedingungen erfolgreich in einer Stunde zurücklegen kann und dann muss man noch einen sehr schlechte Erdstraße 2 km bis zum Haus kommen, kein Mobilfunkempfang, kein WLAN, nur 16 Volt Solarstrom für Licht. Kochen nur außerhalb möglich auf einem Criddle, super, aber wenn es regnet, nicht möglich. Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön für Naturliebhaber, aber weniger geeignet für Kanada Touristen, die den Jasper Nationalpark erkunden wollen und nicht mehrere Tage speziell in dieser Gegend sein wollen. Für alle, die dort die Gegend der Kunden wollen, sicher eine schöne Bleibe.

Disappointing to see only 2 stars when all the information the guest has commented on was listed in our VRBO description and provided to the guest at the time of booking with the option to cancel if this location was not for them. We do appreciate, however, that this information has been shared with others who will know not to book with us if this is not for them.
We have 3 cabins on our property and all of them are set in the trees for total privacy, visually isolated from one another and a short 10 second walk is required to soak up our spectacular views. Yes we can confirm that we are a 2 hour drive to Jasper townsite and definitely not a touristy destination, no crowds here at the 'Escape'. We recommend always AWD/4WD on the drive here which we do say - getting here is part of the Adventure. Our driveway is the Old Sawmill (backcountry dirt road) and requires a slow and steady approach :) All cooking is done outside on the flat plate griddle and for inclement weather we have a patio umbrellla should you choose to use it that extends out and over to protect the griddle and Chef !! We are most definitely for nature lovers and those that want to get away from the flocks of tourists and switch off and relax for a couple of days. Like our description and information provided state we have No TV, No Wifi for guests, No Cell Service. The title of our property is Remote, Off-grid Wilderness location. Like our guests says, a Nice place for anyone wanting to stay here. Thank you for sharing your Experience to help us find the right guests for our property. Best Wishes, The Walkers
Een perfecte plek om het gehaaste leven even achter te laten. Zeer mooie plek, goed onderhouden. Een aanrader voor iedereen die iets anders wil dan de ge-ijkte plekjes waar je een van de velen bent.
Zeer rustig, midden in de natuur.

About the host
Hosted by Julia Walker
Your hosts the 'Walkers' Gary & Julia. Emigrated to Canada from the North East of England in 2012 and have owned the 'Escape' since 2021. Off-grid hospitality trailblazers! Wild at heart with a soft spot for guest satisfaction.
Why they chose this property
Nestled in Alberta's foothills only 70km NW of Hinton. A place where proposals happen under the Aurora and stars. Customers meet Grizzlies on trail cams and so much more. Magic in the mountainous wilderness. Forested trails, dark skies, crackling fires & wildlife around. Nature at it's finest!
What makes this property unique
A peaceful slice of unplugged paradise. Our dome and cabins are more than just places to stay, they are story starters. Intentionally spaced apart for privacy. Never overlooked and never overcrowded. Say 'Yes' to Adventure and 'No' to cell signal. Luxurious glamping not camping!!
