JPL is composed of dozens of cabins and single story multiplexes arrayed about a gracious central lodge. As it was winter when we visited, it was all very quiet. In summer I imagine it bustles like a Pocono resort, although with real mountains at which to gaze. We paid extra to get a lakefront room that turned out to have a peekaboo lake view. Our friends paid somewhat less for a room at least half again larger. While the lodge was nice, dining was on the spendy side. One oddity was that no morning coffee was available in the lobby without descending to the basement coffee shop and waiting for a barista to brew drinks for staff members, including the executive chef. Recommend restaurants Syrah and especially Raven Bistro in Jasper for delicious dinners at reasonable prices.
