Great for a Ski Vacation
We stayed here for a backcountry ski vacation. A good quiet place out of town. On the way to Roger’s pass, and not too far of a drive to the Icefields. The property was well equipped and Barb was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We would return to this property.

Cabin off the beaten path
Great cabin off the beaten path. The host was great and the property is beautiful. It is a bit of a drive to certain locations, but if you like being out in nature and not surrounded by lots of people, you’ll love this. House was clean and we enjoyed our stay.

Pleasant remote cabin
This is a nice well maintained lodge in a beautiful albeit remote location. The kitchen is well equipped and the house is thoughtfully furnished and decorated. The one thing that my family sorely missed was a washer/dryer. I think that for a house of this size in a remote location, a laundry would be a much needed addition.

Feel like a home away from home
Very quiet and peaceful property to enjoy away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Friendly and very interactive host. Easy to get hold and communicate with her. Definitely consider staying here again. Just missed a tower fan in the living area during the stay as it was too hot during our stay otherwise it was a wonderful experience.

Perfect Escape
In the chaos of life and uncertainty of people, these days, this place was the perfect escape from it all. It was peaceful, remote, but still within 20 minutes of civilization.
It was the perfect reset, reconnect and beautifully put together place.
Barb was amazing, the cabin was wonderfully equipped with enough necessities for our guys weekend. Amazing.

Home Base for Rogers Pass Ski Trip
A group of four of us rented this house for a ski trip in nearby Rogers Pass. This was a great house for a group of our four. Spacious, yet still cozy with everything you need for a mountain stay, including a wood stove, back deck and mountain views. Barb was a great host who was easy to contact and super helpful. We would stay here again!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this beautiful cabin in the woods and Barb was the ultimate host, recommending things to do and places to visit. Our family felt so comfortable and cosy in this special home away from home and would love to return one day.

Amazing attention to detail
Barb is fabulous! She is thoughtful in her communication with guests and has literally thought of everything. There is signage all throughout the cabin that helps guests make the most out of their stay. The decor is spectacular and makes you feel right at home. Our kiddos settled in instantly and even they had more they needed to stay entertained all week long. When we weren’t revelling in the splendour of the cabin, our family enjoyed the area based on all of Barb’s recommendations. From river rock collecting, bison ranch touring, mountain lake swimming, everyday was an adventure. In the early mornings, I even took a few mom moments and enjoyed my book in peace in the garden sitting area. It inspired me to take that feeling of tranquility home. On our first day, a bear ventured onto the property. With Barb’s warning, we knew we were in bear country and were able to scare it away for the whole week. Thank you Barb for a wonderful experience - we miss the cabin so much already! Count us in for future stays in the area - your piece of paradise is a must choice!

Perfect cabin and property for a family vacation. Cabin is well equipped and spacious. The yard is lovely with lots of room for the kids to play. We enjoyed morning coffee on the deck and relaxing on the deck in the sunshine in the late afternoons following a day of exploring. Lots to explore and do in the area.

Peaceful Getaway
Barb's place is amazing! Easily accommodates 4 snorers so we can't hear each other. Beautiful backyard for campfires, sun tanning, yoga, etc. Lots to do in the area. Golden is a beautiful town with a nice brewery. There is a 13km round trip hike to a waterfall with lots to see along the way. Would recommend to anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Fantastic mountain retreat
The perfect property for a short break in the mountains with our extended family. Beautifully clean and well-equipped cabin in a stunning location, with plenty of room for six of us (and beds to spare), and tons of things to do both indoors and out. Barb was a pleasure to deal with, with plenty of ideas on how to get the most out of the cabin and the local area. Our stay was over too quickly and we'd certainly like to come back again and explore the lovely Blaeberry valley some more.
