I am from the east coast of the states, so the night sky just amazed me. The host, Jonathan even made a campfire for me so I could sit and relax and watch the stars. The nature sounds provided me with a wonderful mediation. The lodge is only a 15 minutes drive to downtown Golden yet you have the privacy of a real mountain retreat. We stayed for 4 days and could have stayed longer. Each daily breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Our hostess, Lucille made inquires to see if we had any special dietary requirements too. A bonus was that she left baked goods under glass on the counter for a later snack at our leisure. This is a family owned B&B who make you feel as comfortable as family. They live on the walk out first floor beneath the guest rooms. Fortunately for me, they have a lovely black Labrador retriever named Ollie. His gentleness added to my stay. Nothing is perfect but these owners are committed to making your stay completely delightful in every way.

What a great place! I spent a week there ski touring in February, 2010 and can't recommend it too…read morehighly. Great skiing terrain, good food and interesting people. What could be a better combination. The lodge is warm and inviting, and would be a perfect place to hang out for the day if you didn't want to ski. The sauna is definitely warm, the way a sauna is supposed to be, is a perfect finish to a long day of skiing. Dave is a good leader, and intimately knowledgeable with the terrain, finding good skiing even in those rare periods between fresh snow. As a special added bonus, in the entire week we did not hear an internal combustion engine. If you want to get away, this is the place. No helicopters (except to get you in and out), and no snow machines. All in all, a great week.

The view outside the front door of our chalet was directly to the mountain. The location is ideal - close enough to Banff and the Banff National Park, but also accessible to Golden and Rogers Pass. The site is well cared for, and our nightly s'mores via the fire pit was quite enjoyable. While we purchased our firewood from the IGA, you can get some at the Chalets from one of the caretakers, whose name is on each unit (albeit more expensive).

The swimming was nice but there were a few times we had to fight the drift would debris... it a huge problem...just another fun/creative activity for the kids. Long/endless mountain biking along up the forest rd...one could ride almost forever, heading northwest up all the way to head waters of the Columbia river, just north of Mica Creek and the far northern end of kinbasket lake. Our cabin (Sanctuary) was the roomiest of the cabins from what we could tell. Tucked away on the southern end of the property, south of the forest rd., from the main office. We had great views of rye river but unfortunately the main door to the deck didn't have a screen so...we had to keep our door shut to keep the bugs out. It was hot the first two days so Thai was definitely a bummer. The up stairs master bedroom only had two windows that opened with screens...again, kinda a bummer when it's hot. The kitchen and front room are the same...small area and without being able to rely on a screen patio door to the deck, the room can heat up and get quite full with 4-6 people. The door wall has a leak too so be sure to not put any air mattresses near this part of the room if it rains. Overall it's a nice place and any family should enjoy themselves here. Just be sure to bring All of your food and snacks in. There's really no amenities at this facility from a retail side. I'd suggest booking stays during the cooler months due to the heat. You're only at 2500-3000 feet/1k meters so you can't rely on the mountains to be cooler. You can bring a boat up but the dock seems to constantly full of drift wood. I'm sure it could be pushed out. Not sure what he charges for docking. The fishing is pretty solid. The shoreline offer a pretty substantial drop off so it gets deep, quickly. Great for shoreline trout fishing. I cheated with power bait for tue kids and we killed the bull trout - Good fighters/fast etc. Don't worry about the trash on some of the other reviews.... they actually drive by a few times a day and pick up all the trash from the smaller cans and put them into a bear safe larger receptacle near the main office. The best camping sites for tents and small trailers would be on the far eastern end of the property along the main lake side. It seems to have the most cover and privacy. The last three sites seem to be the largest with amazing views of the lake/river. See my pics The general showers and bathrooms are located centrally to the main property... We had a bathroom and a half bath in our cabin so we did not use these facilities however, my brother-in-law use them with his kids and he said they were warm and suitable. There's a lot of interesting history here... I believe the original owner was a retired Montréal Canadiens hockey player. Keep your expectations in check and again, any family can come here, prepared, and have a wonderful time.

It's on over 100 acres of private land and at one time was probably very attractive. There's the main lodge, plus a chalet nearby. It's run and staffed by the owners, man and wife. The wife is the cook and cleaning staff, the husband the greeter and breakfast server. Our room was pleasant. No TV, no wifi, both of these in the nearby game room. The building is clean and well appointed inside, and suffering from long deferred maintenance outside. We're told that the downturn in the economy post-Bush has really shut down winter tourism in Golden and the surrounding area. They say this accounts for the fact that all staff were let go, that maintenance is deferred, and that the lodge will close on or about Sept 1.

The cabin (cabin 2) has a wood-burning fireplace, hot tub (use with doors and windows open for full effect), and an extremely comfortable medium-firmness california king bed (my wife prefers a soft mattress and I prefer firm, so medium is as happy as we can find). The views of the mountains in the morning and evenings are truly magical, especially after a day spent doing mountain activities in Glacier National Park. We ate 3 meals at the restaurant. 2 dinners and a breakfast. The service was exceptional, and I wish I lived closer to the food! I had the most inspired charcuterie plate that I've ever had, my wife was extremely impressed with the gluten free bread for her sandwiches, and do not pass on the creamy leeks with baked eggs and maple bacon! I wish this place was in Chicago. Oh, and if you are a beer snob like me, you have to try Mt. Begbie's Cream Ale if they have it.... All the staff are extremely accommodating and ready to help you find things to do between the best meals you'll have in Canada.

The lodge is simple, but has tastefully appointed rooms with most amenities. The view is stellar, and it was great sitting on the adirondack chairs, or hanging out in the hot tub when the sun goes down facing the beautiful mountains. The staff were EXTREMELY friendly and knowledgable about all the questions we had about the hikes, and activities in the surrounding area. Breakfast was included, and was all local or used food grown in the hotel's garden. My only gripe is, there are no fridges, and you either have to drive to Golden or Revelstoke to eat, otherwise it has to be the food at the hotel restaurant, which isn't cheap. They serve it buffet. Breakfast is $15, lunch $20 and dinner $23. we brought our own snacks, but ate at the hotel twice outside of bfast and then in Revelstoke for the other meals. This hotel is gorgeous in summer and has so many places nearby to hike, and horseback ride, as well as is a heli-skiing heaven. I'd definitely go back. Apparently they have wedding here all the time, we saw one taking place and it was absolutely stunning.
