Our BnB is located in Entrance which is closest to the town of Hinton.   “The location of Hinton changed 10 times in its early development and has grown from a host of different beginnings.   Hinton was so named for William P. Hinton, a general superintendent for the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, in 1911.  The construction of the railroad in 1908, led to a construction camp on the flats at Prairie Creek. In 1914 the Canadian Northern Railway established a station called Bliss, east of the first “town”. In the days of Bliss, a settlement named Entrance also served as a communication centre in the area. The old town of Entrance got its name as it was the entrance to Jasper National Park, and the last station on the Canadian National Railway before entering the Rockies. The new town of Entrance was formed when CN decided to abandon its track in 1926.

Hinton and area’s development and industries also included coal mines and a pulp mill.  From the mid-’50s on, Hinton area experienced growth that has resulted in the modern town it is today.  With more new businesses arriving over the years, the area boasts a few different shopping complexes, and has become a great tourism destination along with Jasper.

Our area has also gained accolades for the outdoor activities it provides with municipal, provincial and national parks.  Its lakes and trails can accommodate the outdoor enthusiast in any season. Among many other attractions, Canada’s longest freshwater boardwalk, a mountain bike park, rodeo grounds and a recreational facility with pools, hot tub, sauna, a curling rink and more.”
