About this property

Amazing Views Of The Columbia Valley

This home is built looking over the Columbia Valley just down the road from Golden, BC. You get amazing views all times of the day. You're just a stone throw away from the Columbia River which offers great fishing, amazing canoeing and swimming. The cottage is surrounded by nearby mountain bike, sled and cross country skiing trails. 5 minutes from Golden and 20 minutes to Kicking Horse resort from there.

There's a zip line at the back of the lot that is great for kids.

Master-1 King Bed, 2nd Bedroom- Bunk Bed Double on bottom and single on-top), pull out single mattress. 3rd Bedroom- Bunk bed, double in bottom and single up top, Single loft bed with option to move mattress underneath. Living room- 2 Pull-out queen sofas. Den- 1 single pull out sofa
Basement - pullout queen

5 minute walk is the eco-Adventure Ranch which offers services for weddings, private lake, and landings for para gliders.The cottage has a cabin feel with local timber trims with modern amenities. There are 2 covered decks, one facing the Columbia Valley and the other that faces the mountain side. Note that the driveway is quite steep and it is recommended that during the Winter a 4 wheel drive vehicle is used. However the driveway is regularly plowed.

Home features:Interior-Blonde Maple flooring, Grey porcelain tiles at entrances, local fir finishing with white wash stains, custom local fir railings and spindles.Exterior-Triple pane windows and doors, Hardy siding, secure multi-point locks, sound barrier insulation (exterior+interior)Kitchen-Bamboo counter-tops, dishwasher, 36"Fridge, cook top, wall mount stove+microwave, 1200 cfs hood fan, large island, touch faucet, Garb-orator.Bedrooms- Solid wood bed frames, large windows.Bathrooms- Spacious, rain shower heads, jetted tubs, porcelain and mosaic tiles, large vanity drawer, Misc- 2 decks, whole-home speaker system, fire pit, BBQ, large wood stove, WIFI Internet and TV with DVD multi-media player. Water softener with reverse osmosis system.

Rec Room and Family area - 9' Solid Mahogany Pool Table (Package worth 12k), 2 Foosball tables, and 55" Sony 4k Android TV. On the other side carpeted family area with Sectional that folds into a bed with a 65" Sony Android 4k TV and Sound system.

Co-ordination booking to accommodate weddings etc. from Eco-Adventure Ranch or can accommodate small weddings. Need to reach out prior to booking for any events.

Note that the driveway was recently re-excavated and dropped by 6'. Being a mountain cabin it's a rustic gravel driveway with a large gravel parking area. A new deck was built with a staircase. The staircase does not currently have railings yet. There's is a gravel ramp to the left but don't recommend for people with mobility issues.

The grass is generally not watered in the summer due to well water constraint. Golden like many towns has a labour shortage so not all this can be fixed right away if something were to occur.

Will not accept changes in guest numbers less than 30 days in advance.

Awesome View!!!!

This was an absolute gem! The views are breathtaking from the hot tub. Was only a 6min drive to town, closer to the ski hill than expected. The fireplace inside made it super cozy when it was -20 outside. Lots of things to stay entertained on the property, would highly recommend for any family vacation.

A great stay with one snafu

Overall, we would recommend this place. Location is good, had what we needed to do some cooking and sleep - which is all we needed to do there. Used the hot tub and it was also nice after some long hiking days. Several of the beds do have shallow mattresses (3" or so) and so several people doubled those up before they were able to get comfy. The one snafu is the water from all that taps and showers smelled of sulfur (rotten eggs) for half of our stay. The property manager did work quickly to remedy the issue by filling the empty water softener, but the first few days we showered, washed pans, etc. in that water, which was probably safe just stinky. Property manager communicated well on the issue and the normal stuff. There is a "clean up" before you go list, but it isn't much compared to other places.

Very nice, well furnished home. Location and property is as was described, rustic. Initial communication problems with owner resolved. Warnings about bears were justified by seeing bears on the property twice in a six day stay. That made us very cautious about outdoor activities and prompted group participation.

Ski Vacation in Golden

We had a great trip to Golden for our first ever 3 generational Family ski trip. Located about 23 minutes to the Ski Hill.... only 5 minutes to Golden itself. There was a good amount of space for our family, the kitchen was a nice size for preparing meals and well equipped. The Wood stove was such a nice touch as it added a gentle warmth to the house. We enjoyed the hot tub, pool table and foosball as well. After a day slopes we really didn't have much energy left so it was early nights to get back out the next day. Kyle is a great Host, answered my phone calls and was easy to get a hold of. We are planning to do this trip again next Christmas, will be booking this property again. We are very happy with his property.

Wedding nearby

Location was great for the wedding venue a short drive away. The property was large enough for our two families and had all the things we needed. There are some things that need a bit of work/cleaning but overall was good for our large group.

Central location for the National Parks & Rockies!

Overall, we were very pleased with our stay for our family of 9 and a dog! 5 minutes drive from downtown Golden and conveniently located within 60 minutes of the National Parks (Banff, Yoho, Glacier, Kootney). we also made the most of teh local Mountain Bike Trails! The house had everything we needed and the kids and parents loved the TV room and game room. Cheers,

Loved this accommodation!

Great location - close to amenities in Golden. House is nicely set up for a large group and fairly well-equipped. Thank goodness for the portable a/c and the floor/ceiling fans! Kids loved the zipline, slide/sprinkler; hot tub, and foosball. Didn't use the outside firepit - couldn't quite figure out the logistics - which is okay because the weather was so hot . . . Lovely stay. Would stay here again - family and friends loved it as well!

Beautiful views and property!

We had an amazing time with a few of our friends and family at Kyle's cabin. The views are spectacular and the home is beautiful. We enjoyed the basement game room as well as the kids and they also enjoyed the cool zip lining near the side of the house. The kids also enjoyed the cute hammocks and swing and always had something to do. The location is close enough to downtown Golden if you wanted to explore and get out for a bit. Kyle was very responsive as well. I highly recommend this stay to others. We had a lovely stay and hope to be back again.

Amazing Mountain Views

Views were amazing...hot tub was top notch! A few things were not exactly as pictured...but the owner of the property was quick to address any issues. Owner of property was always available via text throughout the entire stay. A great property for large groups...house comes equipped with everything you could need to entertain...the home stereo system is an amazing touch. Home is close to a busy highway, train tracks and there is a neighbor right next door...so the house is not as remote as the pictures portray. Neverthless, overall a great holiday spot!

Great place in a great location

Been here before so we knew what to expect. The views are amazing and the kids love the pool table and table football. Internet bandwidth is limited (although speed is fine) so if you need to amuse little ones then its a good idea to bring some content with you. It's a house that is spacious and comfortable and designed for enjoying the landscape with windows looking out at the mountains as well as a large deck and hammocks facing the mountains. The owner is friendly and responsive.

Excellent hidden gem near Golden and Kicking Horse

Terrific property and I consider this one a hidden gem - beautiful views, comfortable accommodation, and perks: the property has everything you could ask for in a mountain retreat home including fooseball tables, a pool table, in-house sound system, hot tub, great views, and a fully-equipped kitchen. Wonderful spot for retreats and getaways. If booking for a group of adults, I echo other reviewers' and would suggest 10-12 people at most, 14 would be quite crowded. Great spot, and the host's communication / reachability were the best I've ever had. Thank you so much!

About the host

Hosted by Property Manager/Owner

Host profile image
I'm an IT Project Manager and a father to a 5 and 7 year old. My wife Karen is a teacher at a Spanish Bilingual School. I'm originally from Vancouver Island and Karen is originally from El Salvador, but we reside in Calgary now. I built this home as I have always loved the area and the natural beauties that surround. My son at age 2 (who speaks more Spanish then I do) gave the house the name Casa Rocas because of the large rocks entering the driveway. I have responded to everyone's suggestions small or large and am a very active host ei: Bigger hot tub, fans in bedrooms, instructions for appliance etc. are examples to my responses in efforts to accommodate reasonable suggestions.

Why they chose this property

If this is your first experience in the Rockies, Golden is a great area as it is in the heart of a lot of the scenic tourist areas. 1.5h from Banff, 45 min to Lake Louise, 45 min to Radium Hot Springs and 1 hour to Revelstoke. Then Golden itself is a small gem. You don't have to worry about tour bus's flooding the streets.

I have stayed in many cabins/homes in the area and I recommend all of them. They all just accommodate a little differently. Having a young family, I'm naturally going to have things setup to keep my and other families happy ie: Den is a carpeted small room with bins of toys and Children books in bedrooms. I love to cook so I designed the kitchen exactly how I wanted it. I love the heat of a wood burning stove so I had one of the largest/most efficient stoves I could find installed. I love listening to music in the kitchen etc. so I setup a whole home audio system so you can listen to music throughout the house.
