True ski-in ski-out. Easy and fast communication with the owners. Great house and that has all the necessary equipment for cooking. We loved our week in your chalet.
Mel’s instructions were clear and thorough. The home itself was welcoming, well appointed, & spacious. It fit our sibling ski trip and allowed us to cook and eat in.
We loved the location and peaceful atmosphere. The spacious cabin offered just what we needed. The only downside was the wifi, which was extremely slow to nonexistent.
My friends and family had a wonderful time staying at this home and playing golf at the Golden golf club. We would definitely stay here again if we do another golf trip!
The house was great - loads of space and very confortable. We used it as a base to explore Golden and loads of other spots around BC. Mel was a great host and easy to communicate with.
Absolutely fantastic house which we used as a base for part of our family trip through the rockies. Massive space, extremely clean & comfortable, very well equipped and lovely location. Host was extremely helpful so would highly recommended.
We had a wonderful 3-night stay in Golden with our group of six adults. The home was well-appointed and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. It felt homey with thoughtful touches throughout that made our stay extra enjoyable. The location was peaceful for relaxing at the end of a long day visiting the local National Parks. It was easy to communicate with the owners. We can see where this home and location would also be ideal for the skiing season. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to others!
Great location, fantastic property with plenty of room for the whole crew. Check and check out was Breeze and the host was very attentive and efficient. Would definitely recommend.
This was an awesome place to stay. The house is great, layout is great, amenities are great.You can tell the owners really love their house. I really enjoyed our stay here. The ski-in/ski-out was extra nice. The kitchen is well appointed which is good since it is a bit of a drive to Golden.
Beautiful area, lots of space inside to unwind, great kitchen. Hot tub was a nice touch. Appreciated all the amenities! Looking forward to visiting in the winter sometime!
My top 2 favourite things were the hot tub and the beds! I never sleep well away from home and I slept like a rock!!! All of the amenities we needed were there. The hosts were so quick to respond to questions. We would definitely stay there again!!
A beautiful spacious chalet located in a prime spot close to the hill. Well stocked with everything you would need for your trip. It was the little touches that made it special.
Excellent house well supplied. Our group of seven were very comfortable.
Great House.
Few minor maintenance issues to be dealt with during our stay, but no biggie.
Host Mel was excellent with great communication leading up to and during our stay.
Would definitely stay there again and happy to provide high recommendation.
