We decided to stay at these great little cabins 20 mins north of Radium Hot Springs. Addison's Bungalows were built by Addison Scratch, a renowned builder and architect who built many of the Western Parks' original cabins including bungalows at Jasper, Banff, Lake Louise and Miette Hot Springs. These were so well constructed that when the bungalows at the Banff site were to be demolished to make room for higher density structures the bulldozer simply skidded them along. They were consequently moved instead and taken to Canmore without, of course, the stone fireplaces. They are wonderful, cozy simple little places to stay and if you are ever in the area we suggest you look them up ( www.addisonsbungalows.com ) Here are a few pics from our stay:
