Our stay in the Rocky Mountains

We came to Canada this year to experience the beautiful National parks. We were not disappointed! With that being said we were shocked at the price of things (it is so expensive!) The cabin was rustic and a work in progress which we new ahead of time and were completely ok with. The place was beautiful, the view was AMAZING! The host was very responsive and a wonderful host! We are used to staying in cabins a couple of times per year and really was impressed however, the cabin wasn't as clean as we would have liked it, and the water has a very strong sulfur odor but the kitchen has a filter for drinking water and we used the washer which did not leave an odor in our clothes. We would def stay here again! Thank you for hosting us :)

Calm and majestic

Great place for a family reunion, lots of deck space with a beautiful view. Comfortable beds and large bathrooms. The well water is indeed a bit strong, but the filtered water was fine for drinking and cooking.

Secluded getaway

Loved our stay here. Secluded, couldn't see the neighbors, wooded, and gorgeous view from the back porch. Was nice to relax in the hottub after hiking. The house was beautiful and comfortable. Our only complaint was it had hard water, which the manager warned us about. We just picked up bottled water. Would definitely stay here again. Property owner was very nice, helpful and courteous. Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful home!

Great View!

We use VRBO extensively for our travels and this property was somewhat disappointing. The views are great but with leftover coffee in the coffee maker, beer bottles outside the hot tub, and the fridge requiring cleaning on arrival, this wasn’t quite what we had hoped. Maybe this house isn’t rented much in the winter as it felt like it needed a good spring clean. We liked the spot in the woods although there is still a lot of the home under construction. It would be nice to have soap for the showers—especially to counter the strong sulphur smell from the well water. We had a great time in Golden and given the other reviews, perhaps it was simply an issue with time of year and/or the cleaning crew not being quite as attentive this time. Kitchen is well equipped and great deck to grill.

Lovely place for a group getaway despite smoke and heat

This is as others have said a lovely new house, with everything you could need, especially suitable for a group of people. It is very well-equipped, particularly the kitchen. Beds were really comfortable, according to everyone who came. Hot tub worked well and is accessible for those who has slight mobility issues (although stairs are required to get to it). Views are or would have been extraordinary, but like most of BC this year, the sky and air were smoky with wildfires and high temperatures that made the windowed house very uncomfortable late in the day, particularly as one of the ceiling fans had apparently been vandalized by a previously heat-crazed visitor. Meach was very good about responding to our pathetic wails of heat prostration, and promptly reimbursed us for a room fan which I would suggest for the loft room as well. Our mid-30s youngsters there braved the heat anyway. For those of us more elderly by inclination and body, it would have been great to have a bit more regular-height seating inside, particularly as the outside deck table and chairs had not been well-cleaned of marauding rodents (thus my reduced rating for cleanliness; otherwise the place was very well-cleaned). We found the VRBO and owner's warnings about data overages confusing, and thus didn't watch TV. This was unfortunate, as there is a great TV provided. However, aside from very brief interruptions when we were checking email for work or browsing for hardware and grocery stores (and wildfire warnings), the wifi was much better than many I have experienced in Yoho, Golden, Kicking Horse and Blaeberry. If it had not been for both smoke and heat (Kicking Horse was a bust, for instance), this would have been a better getaway for us, but that is not the fault of the owner. A note on the water; potable (ok tasting water) is provided and water straight from taps is drinkable but tastes strong. For those who do not like their water to taste of anything, we would recommend getting the bottled water in town. The place is as advertised, better in person, and I would recommend it especially for a group, a family with grown kids, even a couple. It would be amazing in the winter. We would definitely go back.

Great quiet getaway

We loved the location of this property. A short drive into town if you needed anything but very quiet and private. We knew there some neighbours but we could never see or hear them. The views from the deck are spectacular and we have most of our meals outside. Inside the cabin was clean and spacious. The master bath upstairs has a beautiful bathtub so I'd recommend bringing some bubble bath. The kitchen was very well stocked and had everything we needed for cooking meals.

Nice quiet getaway.

Booking was fast and easy. We had concerns about the cleaning regime (due to the coronavirus pandemic) and Meachel quickly put our concerns to rest. The home was spotless upon arrival. The property is gorgeous and spacious. The view of the mountains from the deck or hot tub were spectacular. My spouse and I had a very nice relaxing stay. Would recommend.

Everything about this visit was wonderful, from the booking process, to communicating with the owner, to our arrival; not to mention the outstanding views, especially from the hot tub! This home has enough space to comfortably entertain your family indoors, or adventure outdoors! We loved the recommendations made by the owner, and we will definitely be revisiting.

Great place, bad experience

Had a great stay at the property. Unfortunately, afterwards my security deposit was wrongly withheld with a list of “issues” that we had supposedly done. It was not accurate and after about a week of discussion my security deposit was returned in full. It was an unfortunate hassle after a great vacation. In terms of the property, it’s a great location if you are looking to do some snowboarding at Kicking Horse. Clean, lots of sun.

We visited this wonderful cabin/house in the winter. The clean modern home was very cozy with the wonderful views of the mountain and the warm fireplace. If you are planning on doing some cooking the kitchen is fairly well appointed and well layed out. We would definitely stay here again.
