2800 square foot 'True' ski-in/ski-out Luxury ski home - We've rented places that called themselves ski-in/ski-out and find ourselves disappointed when the owners took liberty with the term. This home is a 'TRUE' ski-in/ski-out home. You can ski down 'Bail Out' trail, look to the left and see the back of the home. Turn your skis off the trail, ski down 40 feet and you are at the back door. And when you want to get back on the slopes, put the skis back on and ski out the neighborhood down to the gondola on a trail next to the road. You NEVER have to take a step except to cross the back door threshold going into the home. You don't have to ski the trees, you don't have to sit down or side step and you don't have to be an expert skier. Our home is the closest house on the mountain to a ski trail.


Heated floors, slate floors, wood floors, granite countertops, granite window sills, TV's in bedrooms, dryer with drying center, ski to gondola, ski right to the hot tub and back door, 5 minute walk (or ski) to 5 restaurants, 3 bars, gondola, day lodge, rental shop, lift ticket office, general store, mountain bike trails and horseback riding outfit. Just a short gondola ride to world class Eagles Eye Restaurant. Short chairlift ride to Grizzly Bear refuge. 20 km of groomed Dawn Mountain cross country ski trails are 100 yards from home. 'Bail Out' ski trail is right behind home, no home is closer to the trail than this one. As the highest home in the neighborhood, the home commands the best views of the Columbia and Kicking Horse rivers and the Purcell and Dogtooth mountain ranges.

Kicking Horse Mountain : We love to ski and we love this mountain. The only mountain with better terrain (in our opinion) is Jackson Hole. The only mountain with better snow is Alta. The only place with a better view is Lake Louise. This mountain is the total package. It's huge and always has soft powder somewhere (even in spring). It has bumps, chutes, bowls, trees, glades, cornices, cliffs, terrain parks, back country and even bunny slopes, magic carpets, long meandering blues ('It's a 10' - 10 km long). We take several ski trips a year all over the US and Canada and chose Kicking Horse because it is the total package. Come try it (again) and we think you'll agree.

Golden Golf and Country Club: The Golden Golf Club is just 7 km away from the home on the main road to the house. It offers one of the most enjoyable golfing experiences you will find in Canada. The natural beauty of the Columbia Valley, makes the golf course an instant classic. Architects Bill Newis and Les Furber have done some of their best work in sculpting this fun, but challenging layout. The stunning Rocky, and Purcell mountains are uniquely framed, and each hole tells a great story.

Great house in very quiet location

Great house for a larger family visit that was located in a very quiet neighborhood. Used it as a base for hikes in Glacier and Yoho NP. Am very glad we stayed there and will be looking to visit again in the future.

Great house - would stay again

We were there for a family weekend in February 2019, and the house was fabulous. Loved the in-floor heating. Great location - easy ski access in and out and an easy 15 min walk down to the base for shopping or coffee. The hot tub was great at the end of the day. The house was well-stocked and had more than enough space for us all to hang out. The ping pong table was a hit. Garage made it easy for unloading ski gear and lots of storage as well. I would recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy Kicking Horse.

Great location and access to ski resort

Spacious home with lots of room for everyone. An odd guest room which was an office converted it does not leave much room for privacy. Other than that, we only downfall was a late check in at 5pm then check out is 10am and with the very high nightly rate you really don't get the opportunity to enjoy the property for a long period of time and it feels that those could be adjusted as others in the community have different hours ... Overall great location to enjoy the beautiful ski resort.

PERFECT. Just perfect. We...

PERFECT. Just perfect. We made the decision at the last minute to get away and had the whole deal done within the hour. We were shocked at the size of the place. It was huge. And there wasn't a thing missing. We rent vacation homes whenever we travel (within & outside of Canada) and have been doing so for years. This is the first place we have rented with which we couldn't find one thing wrong or missing. The house is beautiful, the setting is gorgeous (eating at the breakfast table while looking out at Rockies was nothing short of spectacular). I was concerned about people being able to see us sitting in the hot tub because many of the places at Kicking Horse have the hot tub located in full view. The description said the hot tub was located in a private setting and that is no exaggeration. Thank you for this place. We will definitely rent here again. (too bad it's booked up during the holidays, otherwise we would have taken it then, for sure.) Thanks again! Sherry & Phil

Excellent ski-in/ski-out home

We are 4 ski friends with non-ski partners. Perhaps the house was larger than we needed, but we enjoyed every inch of it. The house is spacious with high ceilings and lots of glass. We watched the sunrise over the mountains from the dining room window. The hot tub is perfect, with a handy supply of towels and flip-flops right by the back door. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking up a feast - however, it is 14 miles to town, so we did our shopping before arriving and were lucky to find some olive oil at the house. There is a well-stocked grocery store at the base of the mountain for supplemental purchases. Garage parking is a plus, especially since it snowed during our week. My only caution is that the bedrooms are not equally sized (perhaps to be expected): the master is huge and luxurious, and has the only ensuite bathroom. Two rooms include walk-in closets and two rooms do not have any closets. Also, Kicking Horse does not run the Pioneer lift often, so the ski back to the house at the end of the day requires a trip to the top.... you have to save some energy for your last run!

The home was beautiful. It was well stocked and had every amenity we could imagine. We had three couples and each one had their own bedroom/bathroom on their own floor. The location was a refreshing break from the hustle and bustle of Banff and the park. It was quiet and peaceful, yet relatively close to Yoho, Banff and even Jasper National Parks.

Great property to spend time with family. We had a mix of super wet and sunny weather. The property is great for when you all are inside. The kids setup a ping pong tournament that last our stay, we played board games each night. It’s a quick walk to access all services at the resort.

The chalet was great for our group of 10! Upon arrival, the master bedroom smelled like cigarette smoke, but we opened the windows and it was less noticeable after a few days. We struggled to turn off the in floor heat in the "office", where 2 of us slept, but by opening the windows and using the fan available, we were able to cool it down to a comfortable level. We really liked the spacious kitchen/dining area where we could eat and play games all together!

Friends vacation

Home was a very clean and comfortable place to sleep and stay. No complaints regarding comfortability of the beds. Washer and dryer worked well. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for our friends. A few notes of improvement: there was only one bath towel provided per person, mosquitoes attacked every time we tried to sit outside (and no spray or candles available at the home or stores in town) using the hot tub was impossible due to mosquitoes, the pantry didn’t have any spices or basics for cooking or coffee, so we had to purchase literally everything and then leave it all behind. Maybe winter time is a better time to stay when the general store is open on the mountain. But this was not a well stocked VRBO for guest use in the summer.

Excellent Ski House!

Had an awesome stay here. This place has everything you need for a killer ski trip—heated floors, a private hot tub, and legit ski-in/ski-out access. Super easy to hit the slopes, and coming back to soak in the hot tub with the mountain views was perfect. The game table was a great bonus, and the whole chalet was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a top-notch spot at Kicking Horse. 5 stars all the way!

Great ski weekend location!

This home was an excellent home base for our ski weekend. The location is a perfect ski in/ski out. The house fit our whole group well, with lots of space for everyone. Everything was in good, working order and they provided lots of space to dry ski gear. The two single beds were quite snug in the one room, but it worked nonetheless, and we were thankful to not have to use the futon as it was quite small for an adult. All in all, it was a great property and the host ensured we had all the information for a smooth stay.

I came here with a group of friends to run the Golden Ultra trail race. This home was ideal for our group, with large comfy beds, private bathrooms, a large kitchen and a comfy living room. The hot tub at the back, surrounded by trees was a welcome retreat at the end of a long running day. This home was very neat and clean and stocked with all the essentials. The location was perfect!

Mountain retreat

The house was well kept and had all amenities required.Myself and the family stayed over the weekend to enjoy the mountains on our way to Kelona and visited the Skybridge park which was great for the kids. The hot tub was great and Gabe was great with checking in and was very accommodating during our stay. Lots of beds for everyone and very comfortable. Mosquitoes were excessive so bring some spray and citronella and you will be fine. We highly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this house and Gabe.

About the host

Hosted by Gabriel Higham

Host profile image
We are two avid skiers who bought our house for ski trips with family and friends and eventual retirement. To help pay the bills we rent it out when we aren't using it. We first skied at Kicking Horse in 2004 as part of our yearly ski trip with friends - that year trying out the eastern side of the Canadian Rockies. We had skied Whistler a couple of times and knew we loved Canadians. They are so nice, cheerful and friendly people. Our day at Kicking Horse was the favorite of everyone on the trip. We couldn't believe how great the snow was, how big the mountain was and how few people there were. My wife and I actually got engaged at the top of Lake Louise. She asked me to marry her and I said yes and she presented me with candy lollipop rings (we later upgraded them). Anyway, we looked at buying at the time but weren't in a financial position to do so. But in 2009 we were in a much better position and so we decided to come back to double check if everything we remembered about it was true. It was and we happened to stumble upon a great deal on this home and jumped at the opportunity. With any life changing event there is always a little voice that wonders if you are doing the right thing. That voice went away and never came back after we had to stop for a black wolf in the middle of the road between Banff and Golden. We knew this was the place for us. We hope that you will consider experiencing our wonderful home and get as much enjoyment out of it as we do.

Why they chose this property

We love to ski and Kicking Horse has some of the best skiing in North America. We absolutely love the snow and varied terrain of Kicking Horse. And the views are to die for.
