Overview
A Two Bedroom Cabin Nestled Between The Purcell Mountains And Blaeberry River
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.

"Thanks so much River House! We had an excellent stay here. The house and location is beautiful! We enjoyed eating dinner at the picnic table and using the fire pit to toast marshmallows. We also really enjoyed watching the humming birds fly in and out to the feeder. We were able to get a couple of pictures. We appreciated the list of hikes and activities you gave to us, and thanks for being such welcoming hosts." Philadelphia USA
About Grant and Antoinette
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.
Grant and Antoinette purchased this cabin in 2013
Why Grant and Antoinette chose British Columbia Rockies
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 cabin 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!

Clean, Gorgeous, Serene - Amazing!
The River House was a beautiful and quiet (except for screeching Eagles) absolute gem. We loved our stay here and as we check out this morning wish we had booked it longer. The salmon are spawning in the river and we practiced our amature photography skills on them. What fun we had. The River House is very clean and well stocked. If we ever get back to this part of Canada we would love to stay here again. Thank you!
Very highly recommended. Fabulous location, cabin, fully stocked with all amenities.
This cabin in located in the most beautiful spot we could have imagined. Backing onto the Blaeberry River is the most wonderful, relaxing sound. The cabin inside and out is fabulous and the property It sits on is amazing. We very highly recommend this cabin for a great spot to relax, the Golden area to enjoy! The owners are wonderful people and have done a fabulous job!
We loved the Riverhouse, we would definitely recommend it
We had a great time here, the house is very comfortable, had everything we needed. A georgeous setting by the river. We saw deer on the lawn in the morning, a bat sleeping outside and hummingbirds. Easy to get to places around. Whilst staying we went to Lake Louise, Emerald Lake, Takakaw Falls and the cable car at Golden. The property is well maintained and a pleasure to stay there. We would definitely recommend it.
A great place to escape
We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and escape the stresses of everyday life. The cabin is spacious, clean and has everything you could need for your stay. It's setting is fantastic, a short drive from Golden, seconds from the river and completely secluded from everyone else. If we ever come back to Golden, we will definitely stay here again.
We absolutely loved the cabin and the owners.
Beautiful cabin. Surroundings and backyard with the river was my favorite part. The owners were wonderful and very friendly. We will definitely be back. Thanks Grant and Antoinette. We truly enjoyed your beautiful home.
Absolutely Lovely
The river house is in a stunning location. The view on two sides are gorgeous mountains. One that is so close it feels like you can touch them. The River House is very clean and when you snuggle under the down comforters it's a little bit of heaven. Morning coffee in the hot tub overlooking the river and the mountains while listening to the squirrels and birds can't get better than this. River House is clean and tidy with all the needed amenities to make your stay welcoming. There are so many adventures in the area my favourite was a walk with the wolves at Northern Light Wolf Santuary. Experience wolves up close as you go on a walk with them. Bring your camera and book ahead.
Map
Although it is 15 minutes to Golden, the River House is steps away from the beautiful Purcell Mountains and the Blaeberry River. As well the Thompson Falls area is a 2 minute drive away from the River House which boasts beautiful water falls and sledding areas. The possibilities of activities is endless for this area, all you need is a little imagination and adventure.
If you are looking for peace and quite, the River House is a secluded location, perfect for artists, wildlife watchers, or someone who just wants to get away from it all.
