About this property

A Secluded Mountain Paradise - surrounded by the river, trees and wildlife

The River House is a secluded cabin nestled between the Purcell Mountains and the Blaeberry River.

The River House is a two bedroom cabin, which sleeps 4 adults and 2 children. It has a full kitchen, fireplace, hot tub, t.v., blue-ray, internet and laundry facilities.

The River House is located on 8 acres of wooded land and is the only rental cabin on the property. The other house on the property is ours. You can wake up every morning and while eating breakfast watch a pair of bald eagles fish from the Blaeberry River. In the evenings watch a herd of elk drink from the river all while never having to leave the comfort of the River House.

The River House boasts peace and quiet, but for those that are looking for adventure, the House also includes the use of the 'shed'. In the shed there is a place to store and clean your equipment, which includes skis, bikes, sleds, ATVs, and all other equipment you may bring with you.

We appreciated the list of hikes and activities you gave to us, and thanks for being such welcoming hosts." Philadelphia USA

A secluded mountain paradise indeed

The cabin is very beautiful, cozy and tastefully decorated and offers a great view into the garden and over the mountains. We had a wonderful time there, enjoying a barbecue, reading and soaking in the hot tub after hiking in the nearby national parks.

Beautiful property in beautiful location!

We had a wonderful stay in Golden. The property was lovely. It was spotless and very comfortable. We saw so much nature in the area. If you are looking for some quiet seclusion, but close to lots of activities (we did rafting, paragliding, canoeing, and visited the golden skybridge, a buffalo ranch and the world's largest paddle!), then this is just perfect.

Gorgeous views from the property in any direction you look. The house was exceptionally clean, likely the cleanest rental property I have ever stayed at. Host also provides firewood which is a very nice bonus. Hoping to return next year for more hiking and exploration!

Relaxing, Wonderful Stay in Golden

We had a lovely, relaxing vacation at this property. The cabin was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. It is about 20 minutes out of Golden but we loved coming back to our quiet surroundings. Cabin had good wi-fi. There was a rare heat wave the week we stayed and the cabin had no A/C but floor fans helped and it cooled way down at night so sleeping was very comfortable. The locals in Golden were very kind and we found it to be low key Banff with high adventure and without the crowds. We would come back again and stay and this property.

Truly a Piece of Heaven

If you are looking for an absolutely gorgeous and peaceful location completely surrounded by mountains and trees next to a river, then I highly recommend this "Mountain Paradise". The hosts were wonderful and even though they reside on the property, you are so secluded you wouldn't even know. The cabin was perfect for our group of 3 adults with stunning views from every window. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back!

Great place to stay

We enjoyed our stay immensely. The cabin was as described and Antoinette was a great host. There was a widespread power outage on our first night and she loaned us a cooler packed with lunch and beverages to take with us. Wildfires were getting close near the end of our trip and she kept us updated on road conditions for our trip back to Calgary. We enjoyed the peaceful serenity of the location. It is a great base if you want to explore Glacier as well as Yoho & Banff. We enjoyed walks along the river bed, the hot tub after long days of hiking and exploring the town of Golden as well. Would definitely stay again if we decide to return to the area.

About the host

Hosted by Grant and Antoinette

Host profile image
We are a couple who work in Calgary but play in Golden. Golden is a short commute from Calgary and this property allows us to enjoy everything the mountains have to offer.

In the winter we can go skiing at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, or strap on our cross country skis and headed out for a day of touring from the deck.

In the summer we can drive up the road 7km for a beautiful day hike to a gorgeous waterfall. Or we can grab our fishing rods and step off the deck into the Blaeberry River.

Why they chose this property

This property was purchased because it is a location where we can play all year round. We love the fact that this cabin is the only rental cabin on the property and we are surrounded by 8 acres of wooded seclusion. This allows us to get away from the hustle and bustle of Calgary, AB and enjoy the peace and quiet of the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

We love to sit on the deck in the evenings with friends/family and listen to the Blaeberry River or in the mornings drink a cup of coffee and watch the sun light up the beautiful Purcell mountains just outside the door step.

What makes this property unique

The best part of this property is that it allows us and everyone who stays with us to enjoy the complete seclusion of the Mountains, and yet is so close to all the mountain adventures that Golden has to offer. It truly is a place to get away from it all!
