For those that typically stay in hotel chains, Blacktail is very different. It's in a remote area, yet on the way if you're traveling back from Banff/Lake Louise back to the US by car. We essentially got a stand alone cottage with tons of space, including a living room, kitchen, and two bathrooms. We had three bedrooms, with a king size bed for my wife and I and two other bedrooms with queen beds that were plenty for my kids. Debbie, the owner is as gracious and warm as can be. She even brought us muffins in the morning! We were arriving very late, and Debbie kept in touch with us - even lit a bonfire so we can find the place on the dark country road. We had just come from the very swanky $$$$ Fairmont Jasper Lodge, but in many ways, this place was better. It looks "no frills" at first, but it actually has everything you need for a very quiet, spacious, comfortable rest. We were able to come in very late, skip the paperwork, and get right to sleep. Thanks for hosting us!
