Room 408B - Shower curtain was dirty…read more- There were multiple stains on the carpet - Room is small with not much room to move around - Although it has a small kitchen, there is no chair to sit on - Signs were up advertising things to do at the resort however everything was closed, but they still charge the resort fee - The only positive was the view. It was spectacular so I guess that's what we paid for.

Stayed in two different chalets - garden and dragonfly…read more Dragonfly had a great view. Sitting in the hot tub overlooking the mountains was wonderfully relaxing! Both chalets had excellent bed linens and comfortable beds, which along with the crisp mountain air made for wonderful nights' sleep. I liked the layout of the Garden Chalet better, and appreciated the dimmer switches on the lights and the high kitchen counter bar and the high dining table. The shower was better too, although the Dragonfly bathroom was more practically laid out. You don't have much privacy at the garden chalet, with windows to parking and paths on most sides. Dragonfly is more secluded. Oddly, the kitchen dishes and equipment was different at the two chalets.

It's the Perfect Little Chalet for a Romantic Mountain Getaway!…read more My husband and I have stayed at the Cedar House several times in the past couple of years. We absolutely love it...so we decided to visit again for my Birthday this past weekend. There are 3 chalets to choose from, although we always book the Cedar Chalet. Darrin had a fire going in the wood stove when we got there, making it warm and inviting after our long drive. There's a fully equipped kitchen, a big couch that's perfect for cuddling up by the fire and the bed is ridiculously comfortable...which made it very difficult to get up on time to hit the slopes the next day. If you are staying at the chalet, you absolutely must visit the restaurant! I can easily say that the best meals I have ever had, have been at the Cedar House! The menu always has an interesting variety of dishes, as well as great vegetarian options. On our last visit, my husband and I shared their delicious Bison turnovers as an appetizer. For our main course, Darrin recommended the sablefish, which was so tender it almost melts in your mouth! After our dessert we returned to our chalet for a soak in the private hot tub and watched the stars. The Cedar House is truly the perfect place for a romantic weekend in the mountains! Darrin is a wonderful host and always makes sure we are well cared for and comfortable. Can't wait to go back!

Loved the location. Had problems with the cleanliness and responsiveness of the staff…read more The bed had been made but the sheets had not been changed and were dirty. When we reported the problem, the staff just dropped off new sheets and we had to make up the bed ourselves. No new toiletries were provided...just the remnants of what the previous guests had left. Out of toilet paper. When we checked out, the clerk took our contact information and promised the General Manager would be in touch. She never called us back, even when I left another message.

Shhh... You had me at private hot tub. But if you need more than that, let me help you out…read more Ski in/ski out - The Palliser is located right at the base of Kicking Horse so you you can ski from the hotel down to the gondola, and head back to your room on your last run of the day. It's just a short walk though, if you feel like hanging out at the restaurant or grabbing a caesar at the on hill pub at the end of the day. It's good quality and it's casual. It's classy enough for a romantic getaway, but not the kind of place you'd feel uncomfortable bringing the kids. Both the rooms in the 2 bedroom are of a decently equal size so it's a good place for groups of friends or couples to stay, as well as family. No one will wind up feeling miffed that they paid full price for a trip and wound up staying in the kids' room. The floor plan is really nice and open concept and has a large kitchen island with bar seating. There's a pullout couch in the living room so the place could sleep up to 6, if you're so inclined. If you're staying in the middle of the rockies and you need to watch TV, I think you're doing it wrong. But if you're addicted to the boob-tube, there's 3 flat-screen options - One for both of the bedrooms and one in the living room. The hot tub says max 3, but I won't tell anyone if you put in more. It seats 4 people very easily, you could cram in 6 if you don't mind playing "Who's Foot is That? The ice machine is in the parkade.

No. It was off a branch of a long…read moredirt and gravel road, at one time looking down on the Columbia River and the town of Golden. It's not too far from the Kicking Horse ski area and resorts. 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.

We stayed 3 nights in a private cabin at the end of June as part of our honeymoon at Heather…read moreMountain Lodge. It was opening weekend for the summer season for the Lodge and Restaurant. 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.

I went to this place for my birthday and was pleasantly surprised. It was more beautiful and nicer…read morethan I even imagined. 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.

We plan to go back with our children so they can experience the awe.

My family just returned from our stay at the Calling Horse Lodge. Being from Hawaii, we wanted to vacation somewhere with lots of snow, was quiet and secluded, and had the opportunity to view and interact with nature and animals. Calling Horse Lodge (located outside Golden BC) checked all the boxes - and more. Hosts - Ralph, Gaelle and their family were WONDERFUL hosts. They were friendly, welcoming, helpful, easy to communicate with (before, during and after our stay), answered all of our questions, happy to have a friendly chat, etc. Cabin - We stayed in the downstairs 2 bedroom suite of a beautiful log home. I believe there are also 1 bedroom units upstairs as well. It was clean, well decorated and had everything you need for a comfortable stay - full kitchen with dishes, utensils and appliances (stove, fridge, microwave, coffee maker, etc.); comfy beds; separate toilet and shower rooms; heater; wifi; wet room/coat room; etc. Property - Located about 20 minutes from Golden BC. Snow tires/AWD/4WD recommended if traveling here during the winter months. Beautifully situated in the Canadian Rockies. The views are magnificent. Lots of opportunities to explore the surrounding area. Shared hot tub on property. Fire pit. Horses. Chicken coup. 3 friendly (and vocal) dogs who are happy to have your attention. We visited during the winter and LOVED the opportunity to enjoy the cold and snow. I'm sure, however, visiting during the spring or summer months would be just as spectacular. Je ne taris pas d'éloges sur la cabane, la propriété, les hôtes (Ralph et Gaelle), leur famille, leurs chiens et plus encore ! Ma famille vient de rentrer de notre séjour au Calling Horse Lodge. Étant originaires d'Hawaï, nous voulions passer des vacances dans un endroit avec beaucoup de neige, calme et isolé, et avons eu l'occasion de voir et d'interagir avec la nature et les animaux. Calling Horse Lodge (situé à l'extérieur de Golden BC) a coché toutes les cases - et plus encore. Hôtes - Ralph, Gaelle et leur famille étaient des hôtes MERVEILLEUX. Ils étaient sympathiques, accueillants, serviables, faciles à communiquer (avant, pendant et après notre séjour), ont répondu à toutes nos questions, heureux d'avoir une conversation amicale, etc. Cabine - Nous avons séjourné dans la suite de 2 chambres au rez-de-chaussée d'une belle maison en rondins. Je crois qu'il y a aussi des logements d'une chambre à l'étage. C'était propre, bien décoré et avait tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour un séjour confortable - cuisine complète avec vaisselle, ustensiles et appareils électroménagers (cuisinière, réfrigérateur, micro-ondes, cafetière, etc.); lits confortables; toilettes et salles de douche séparées; chauffage; Wifi; salle d'eau/vestiaire ; etc. Propriété - Situé à environ 20 minutes de Golden BC. Pneus neige / AWD / 4WD recommandés si vous voyagez ici pendant les mois d'hiver. Magnifiquement situé dans les Rocheuses canadiennes. Les vues sont magnifiques. Beaucoup d'opportunités pour explorer les environs. Bain à remous partagé sur la propriété. Foyer. Les chevaux. Coup de poulet. 3 chiens amicaux (et vocaux) qui sont heureux d'avoir votre attention. Nous avons visité pendant l'hiver et avons adoré l'opportunité de profiter du froid et de la neige. Je suis sûr, cependant, qu'une visite au printemps ou en été serait tout aussi spectaculaire.
