About this property

Huge, 2017 built home with 2 Master Bedrooms. Perfect for Large Groups up to 18

Welcome to the Himalaya. Built in 2017 mountain home at Kicking Horse Mountain resort. 4200 square feet of living space located in the prestigious Cedar Creek neighborhood. Heated floors throughout.
There are six spacious bedrooms. The upper floor has two large bedrooms with a king bed and a single bed in each room. Both bedrooms have large closets and ensuite bathrooms with vanity, large shower and toilet. Heated with baseboard heat. All bedrooms (except one) have large 50 inch flat screen TVs with satellite service for watching your favorite TV shows and movies. Both bedrooms have private staircases up to them and have balcony areas overlooking the kitchen/dining area and the bar/living room area.
The main floor has 2 bedrooms - each with a king bed, large closet and large 50 inch flatscreen TVs. Heated floors with dedicated controls. Right off both bedrooms are spacious bathrooms with large walk-in shower, vanity and linen closet.
Downstairs has two large bedrooms. One has a king bed and bunk bed with queen bed below and single XL bunk above and large closet. The second bedroom has a king bed and large 50" flatscreen TV. Both with heated floors and dedicated controls.
The main floor has two front entrances, a large deck that wraps around three sides of the home, two of which are covered and coat closets just off the front doors.
One side of the home features a huge sit up bar with stools and gigantic 75 in flatscreen TV with Satellite TV service, Bluray player and surround sound system. Two beverage chillers help keep both beer and wine at perfect temperature. There is a sink and dishwasher making it the perfect place for serving drinks and entertaining. Off the bar area is a sitting area with large sectional sofa with great view of the TV. Great for watching the big event. Providing the light to the area is an incredible wagon wheel chandelier with wine glass lights fixtures. Just off the area is a laundry room with high capacity washer and dryer. Heated floors.
The other side of the home has a large kitchen with large side by side refrigerator, dishwasher and a large sink. Fully equipped with everthing you could want to prepare a gourmet spread. A large sit up island had a large 4 burner stove with downdraft and large electric oven. Just off the kitchen is the large dining area with a 12 person table and chairs. Overhead is a beautiful wagon wheel chandelier with wine glass light fixtures. Heated floors.
Small appliances include microwave, food processor, electric kettle, popcorn machine, blenders (three throughout the home), gourmet espresso machine, french press coffee maker, drip pot coffee machine, coffee grinder, large and small crock pots, hand blender, rice cooker and large electric griddle. Full bar set both upstairs and downstairs allow for concocting the perfect apres ski libations.
Both the bar/living room and kitchen/dining area have doors leading out to the huge back deck that overlooks the Columbia River Valley and the Selkirk mountains. It has a large propane grill connected to the house propane so you never have to deal with propane tanks.
Downstairs is a large media and game room with large sitting sofa, 75 inch flatscreen with Satellite TV and Bluray player, Pool Table, fooseball table and wet bar. Just off of the room is also a large bathroom with shower tub, vanity and toilet and a mud room - perfect for storing you ski boots and ski wear after coming in from a long day of skiing. There is a large single car garage on the lower level as well. Just off the back entrance to the home is a large 8 person hot tub. Private and secluded with a great view over the valley. Perfect for relaxing those tired muscles after a long day of skiing. All rooms have heated floors.
This is the perfect home for a large group of couples, wedding parties, huge family reunion or a group of families coming up for a shared ski vacation (note we do NOT allow Bachelor or Bachelorette parties). Note we have NEST cameras at front and back entrances of the home which does encompass the hot tub area. No AC - there are only two homes at Kicking Horse that have AC. It is a ski area and generally does not require AC. We have fans in each room for those occasional summer hot spells.

What a beautiful cabin. The bedrooms were huge. Loved reading on the deck. Kitchen had everything you needed. Mosquitos were bad but that sounds like that isn’t always the case. Owners were super helpful with recommendations on food and activities.

Amazing Place

If you’re in the market for a great house with tons of room this is it. The house is in the Kicking Horse resort and is close to town (Golden). Quiet, peaceful, but close to anything you could need. We used it as a base camp to go to National Parks and it was perfect. 10/10, will come back.

Lots of room in a clean house

Really enjoyed our stay. The house is clean and has many spots for people to enjoy without feeling on top of each other. We loved the pool table and the fact we could bring our furry family members. House was well stocked and property manager was quick to reply and easy to work with. Great trip!

Multi-family ski trip to Kicking Horse

Fantastic property for 4 families with a swarm of kids age 8-13. The massive 5 bed bunkroom was a major hit, as was 5 separate king size beds in other rooms. House was thoughtfully appointed - e.g. sufficient dishes and silverware, trash and recycling bins throughout, lots of fridges around, two dishwashers. Host was timely in communicating, and the house instructions clear and reasonable (we've been in other properties where you hasically had to pre-clean for the cleaners). Multiple spaces and lounge/TV areas meant kids, multiple NHL games, and full dinner prep happened at the same time. The only downside is that it isn’t REALLY ski-in/ski-out. As advertised, it's a bit of an uphill hike to the gondola so really difficult if you wanted to return mid-day and head back out to the hill after. We ended up driving to lot 2 in the mornings and tailgating at lunches instead of coming back. Would 100% stay again.

Property is large and rooms as described. The cabin is older than advertised and we did notice some concerns. Stove top did not work properly, but we managed to use the bbq. Some minor fixes with a screwdriver would fix 90% of the issues we found. Besides obvious wear, had a great stay and would recommend to larger groups.

Great PLace

This rental sleeps a lot of people, and the cleanliness, beds and amenities are all great! What is not clear from the pictures is that this house appears to be a conversion from a duplex. As such, there is not really any place for a larger group to hang out together, the upstairs TV/video area is blocked from view from the couch due to the bar height, there is only one small sofa in the basement rec area, etc. The dining table area is great however. Some of the amenities could use some TLC/replacement (Fooseball, Pool Table, kitchen utensils - not a big deal. Overall a nice place to stay, and sleep a lot of people in comfort. .

Beautiful chalet with lots of room to spread out and a huge # of beds allows for big groups.

I’d recommend this home especially for extra large groups. 12 people can each have their own beds or as many as 3 families could easily share with each group having its own sleeping area. The Ski-out requires a bit of a hike - approximately 3 blocks - but the Ski-in to the chalet is fairly easy with less than a 1 block walk to the front yard. The equipment room is well laid out with an efficient glove and boot dryer and lots of hooks & shelves for gear. The kitchen is nicely appointed and there are 2 full size fridges and 3 smaller bar size fridges for beverages around the main and lower floors. I thought we’d miss having a fireplace but the Billiard and Fußball tables made up for that quite nicely as did the hot tub. And Gabriel is always good to work with in advance and during the trip if any questions arise.

Overall good

Overall a great place. We had 3 couples with 6 kids (12 total) and the house was spacious in terms of bedrooms. However, living space / TV area smaller & segregated from the kitchen which made it difficult to entertain in one area. The home was well stocked with tons of towels and kitchen amenities. The street is private/quite with ample parking in front of the house. One thing to note: although the listing reads pet friendly, when your receive the contract after final payment - there are some pretty strict rules about no dogs on the carpeted area or furniture, and states any indication will be loss of damage. Also it is an additional $100 per pet / PER NIGHT plus an extra $1000 in damage deposit. I think this should be on the initial listing information.

Impressed and simultaneously disappointed

We decided to visit the Canadian Rockies this year for our annual buddy trip hike and needed a large property for 6 adults. The property as advertised looked perfect. Upon arrival, though it was clear that this new home was not ready for prime time. We have a lot of experience renting homes and this place received mixed reviews from our crew at best. Here's list of the pros and cons as we experienced it: Pros - some of the best appliances throughout including coffee and espresso machines. awesome. - beds were very comfortable and bedrooms spacious - bathrooms well appointed and well lit, with multi-point showers. - kitchen/eating area worked well Cons - our biggest issue was with the abysmal state of the grounds of the house. Your view from the balcony was marred by garbage and a total lack of landscaping of the back of the house. - be careful getting out of your car, because the driveway embankment has a steep drop-off on the passenger side when you pull in. especially if there are two cars, it can be dangerous especially at night. - the plexiglass on the balcony was not properly installed and rattles with the slightest breeze - the corner railing on the balcony was not properly installed and was loose, creating safety concerns. - getting in/out of the hot tub was a dirty, grimy experience due to gravel and dirt surrounding the hot tub area. - Kitchen window had a very large crack in it Given the premium price, the experience delivered fell far short. I certainly would have negotiated a lower price at the outset if the owner of this property had been more transparent about the incomplete nature of the state of this property. We brought these issues to the attention of the management and they did offer a token discount (about 7%) to make amends. I would have preferred more disclosures up front. Caveat emptor.

Our family of 11, ages 6-73 enjoyed the rental as a launch point for our various activities. We found Golden to be a fun town with lots to do nearby.There were a number of restaurants in Golden, but we took turns cooking in the rental and found it to be the best stocked kitchen we’ve ever visited. The appliances, pots and pans, as well as presence of foil and baggies, were all a nice surprise. We were also a little surprised that the only contact we had with the host were the directions on how to get in. After that, nothing for the entire week. There was a hornets nest in the grill that we should have been alerted to, as they had someone come out during our week to treat. We were unable to use the grill and one person got a couple of stings.Overall, we were happy with the rental and the location.

Fantastic Golden Vacation Home

One of the best designed and equipped rentals my family has ever stayed in. The house was exactly like the pictures. There was plenty of space for everyone to have some privacy but also great open spaces for family meals, gaming, just relaxing after long days of hiking. The kitchen was so well equipped. After a week in a hotel in Banff we were happy to be able to cook meals for a week in Golden. Everything was clean and worked well. The host provided lots of extras like plenty of paper products, detergents, soaps, etc. We were slightly concerned about not having AC since the temps were in the high 80s F several days but it wasn't an issue at all with the mountain breeze. All the bedrooms had extra fans in the closets but we rarely even needed them. We had four teens in our group who loved the pool table and foosball and just generally hanging out in the basement. Amazing house and great experience... thanks!
