Emerald Lake: soggiorni in baite

we had a great stay with our kids and pup. It was an easy and relaxing trip!

Thank you so much for the fantastic space for our family to kick back and enjoy! Even with the gondola being down in kicking horse at the moment, we are glad we never changed our plans and kept our great reservation at the Smiley Wolf! The beds and space is very comfortable and the photos don’t even do as much justice as the actual place! Thanks again Ben and Vera!!

We had a fantastic stay at this property. Firstly, the views are surreal; like something out of a movie. Each morning, wed wake up to herds of either elk or deer grazing in the field below the mountain views. The marsh, across the field, was great for bird watching. The cabin-like home was very spacious, clean, cozy and all the necessary supplies - and more, were provided for our stay. The property is located perfectly; it’s just far enough into the wilderness to provide tranquility although still within a reasonable driving distance to the town of Golden. Les and Krys were fantastic hosts. They were very quick to respond to our questions and provided us with privacy. We will, without a doubt, be returning to this property for a vacation in the future.

Absolutely breathtaking slice of heaven! The fully fenced yard was perfect to let the pup roam while we enjoyed the hot tub and mountain views. Having well marked trails straight from the door that led to the river is exactly what you want in a beautiful place like this. 10 out of 10!

Great, clean place as our base for the weekend. Host was extremely helpful and easy to communicate with! Would highly recommend for a peaceful vacation.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Elkhorn Lodge. The cabin was more of a 2 level apartment that was quirky but absolutely had everything we needed. It was a quiet location with an easy walk into town. It was warm and cozy and we loved the king size bed upstairs. All very clean and private. I would happily stay there again.

Nice clean, private, peaceful place to stay.Everything was exactly as stated in the add.Provided towels, linens, plates, soaps and some condiments/spices that I forgot. They had firewood available for us to use as well. Awesome place to stay highly recommend to anyone looking to unplug !!

The cabin was amazing, exactly has described. Stef was very responsive. The view from the private deck off the bedroom was breathtaking and the private hot tub was perfect after hiking. Golden was very close so it was very easy to get groceries or supper. The access road was very well maintained. I cant say enough good things! Will definitely be back!!

I don't know what else to say except, book it now! We absolutely loved Kristin's place. We are frequent Airbnb guests and I have to say this one is Top 3 favorites. We are also huge animal lovers so the fact that it came with horses, cats and dogs OH MY! It helped us from missing our dogs at home, thank you for sharing them. When you meet Pixie and Burgess- be nice to them and give them ALL the pets and love! The place was very clean, great views and convenient to downtown Golden that had restaurants, grocery store and yes Tim Hortons! The airbnb was our home base while we traveled to Banff, Jasper and Lake Louise and everywhere in between. Would absolutely stay here again and again. Felt like home instantly!

The cabin and surrounding area were amazing! Was so quiet, peaceful and relaxing. The cabin had everything we needed. There was so much wildlife to see from the large windows. So many deer just grazing on the property, was very cool to just sit and watch them go about. Richard was an excellent host and Watson was very adorable. Would 100% come back and stay again. Felt right at home in this cozy place. The town of Golden was great to explore and had so many great eateries and surrounding activities to stay busy.

Absolutely fantastic place to stay. Photos don't do the cabin and views justice! Everything was exactly as described and was like a home away from home. The perfective place to stay for a few nights whilst we explored the local area.

I enjoyed our stay! Definitely recommending to my co workers and family. We had some trouble getting there at first as we went an entire different route. Therefore beware of losing reception. Definitely go through Sundre, and follow directions from there. Besides that, it was a beautiful view, cabin was fitted for us all and we made it a good time away from home. Thank you for the great stay! Till we visit again :)

Tina and Steve were fantastic hosts and the cabin was beautiful and cozy. I loved the soaker tub in the loft and the fireplace on the main floor. I’d definitely stay again.

Kaley and Martin were amazing and friendly people. They are very responsive too! The cabin we stayed at was exactly like the images and how I imagined it, and more. If you’re looking for a nice, quiet, cozy cabin I highly recommend!! Will definitely be coming back if I stay around the area again :)

The cabin was absolutely comfortable and clean. It’s very quiet and fresh in the trees. Snow was melting and making the experience even better resting while listening to the melting snow and birds’ chatting. We had a very good time here, very peaceful and relaxing. Love it!

Frances was super nice and helpful and reached out about a week before our trip. She let us know there was construction which might increase the time it takes to drive in which was helpful to know. She responded almost immediately when we had questions. The cabin was chilly on arrival but has two space heaters and a wood fireplace, with wood and fire starting supplies right out front on the front door on the deck. The cabin is only 10 minutes from town with great pubs and little cafes. The only thing I would be mindful of is if you plan to take trips to Banff or Yoho, which we had planned, the trip is much longer (around three hours) when highway 1 is closed. Not sure how long they plan to have construction there. Often times the highway opens up on the weekends though. So just make sure you plan accordingly!

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt , es war sehr gemütlich und alles da was wir brauchten. Sehr schön ruhig gelegen und ein wunderschöner Ausblick auf die Berge. Ich hoffe wir können noch einmal wieder kommen! Vielen Dank Cat and Taro Liebe Grüße, Angela und Elena

If you are looking to escape the fast pace of life, this is the place to do it. Limited cell service, no TV - but instead surrounded by natural beauty of trees and mountains. This cabin had everything we needed, and the town of Golden was a short drive away. Our dogs absolutely loved roaming the property and we enjoyed the peaceful scenery. The hosts were extremely responsive and helpful. I would absolutely book this place again!

Duane is a 5 star host! it was a perfect stay, i will come back everytime im in Golden!

A perfect cabin in the woods. It has a great view of the mountains outside the bay windows. Lots of space with 6 comfortable beds. Everything was new and modern. The place is conveniently located for access to Rogers Pass (Glacier NP) and Golden/Kicking Horse. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

It was great stay and so much fun. Thank you, Amelie! Everything was just perfect!

Wow what a beautiful cabin. Exactly as described, maybe even better!! We had a truly relaxing weekend. The cabin is very private and is a perfect escape! Thank you Charlotte & Anne

Everything was perfect, zero complaints. For a first time trip it was the best it could be.

Nice little cabin with a view of the Columbia valley. We were there visiting family and spent most of pour time with them but did go to the Radium hot Springs, which was nice. Honestly it is a great little cabin and located in the middle of lots to do.
