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

River House is amazing

Antionette and Grant have a beautiful cottage near Golden BC. It is out in the country but is close to so many National and Provincial Parks you never are at a loss for something to do. We visited in May and appreciated the fireplace, and hot tub. The beds are super comfortable and the owners have two lovely dogs that can visit it you like.

Absolutely awesome

Our stay at Antoinette and Grant was absolutely fabulous. The cabin was really clean and neat. Thank you Grant for introducing me to playing horseshoes. The scenery and nature walks was rejuvenating and we feel well rested after our stay. I am hesitant to recommend anyone to stay here as I will not be able to get a booking to go back there.... ;-) But seriously, you need to do yoyrself the favour and go visit Grant and Antoinette. There lovely two dogs will make you feel right at home as well

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.

Great place to stay!

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!

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by 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.

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!
