Spectacular mountain beauty and comfort at Hawkes Hill in Golden BC
Hawkes Hill is a peaceful country getaway 12 minutes south of Golden with spectacular views overlooking the Columbia River valley hosted by Bill since 2015. Be wowed by our fully furnished, two bedroom self contained suite with a wrap-around deck and a million dollar view. We're proud to say that our guests continue to review us as SuperHosts through all these years.
When comparing nightly fees, please note that we do not charge an additional cleaning fee on top of your quoted fee.
Hawkes Hill is a fully equipped two bedroom suite adjacent to, but fully independent of, the owner’s home. The suite is full of sunlight and looks out over the Columbia River valley and the Purcell Mountains to the west and the Rockies to the east. Our guests tell us we have the million dollar view. To the north we overlook a wooded meadow perfect for cross country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter and easy walks or hiking during the rest of the year.
The suite sleeps four comfortably. The master bedroom features a queen size bed. The second bedroom has two twins. (PLEASE SEE FEE NOTE BELOW.)
A large spacious living area off the bedrooms and bathroom makes up the rest of the suite and combines a kitchen and sitting area with a wood stove. The kitchen is fully equipped with stove, fridge, microwave, dishes and utensils. Wi-Fi is available as well as satellite tv.
Price listed is for two people using one bedroom. For a 3rd and 4th person, add $25/night per person each.
PLEASE NOTE: our basic fee is calculated for two people sharing the same room. If two people wish to use both rooms for their comfort, please confirm with us before booking. Using both rooms increases our cleaning load and cost so we need to add a $25/stay fee when two people using both bedrooms. Otherwise we do not charge a cleaning fee. Thanks.
Minimum two night stay, however the constant feedback we receive from our guests is that they wished they had booked for at least three nights or more.
We live in the main house adjacent to the suite and are accessible if the need arises. We love meeting guests and hearing about their lives and travels, but we also respect a mutual need for privacy. For your arrival we have stocked the kitchen with tea, coffee fixings, cooking oil and some condiments to make you welcome.
We strive to provide a comfortable place for our guests to relax and enjoy their holiday, and we ask that guests are considerate and respectful of our home and beautiful environment. No smoking on the property, please. No parties. Please ask us about bringing your dog. There is a pet fee.
Surrounded by five national parks and close to Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, we are situated in a breathtaking mountain wilderness only 3 hours from the Calgary International Airport. In the winter most guests are here to ski or board at the resort. In the summer, almost all of our guests will use Hawkes Hill as their home base to go off visiting all the sites like Lake Louise, Banff, Columbia Ice Fields, Emerald Lake etc.
As well as the adventure playground outside our door, Golden is well known for an active arts scene featuring two dozen concerts of music, theatre and dance annually. On the Valentine's Day weekend, the Snow King & Lady Spring come into town for our annual MasqueParade outdoor pageant in Spirit Square. Throughout the summer, there are free mid-week concerts featuring touring festivals artists in Golden's Spirit Square. Check out Kicking Horse Culture online for more info.

About the host
Your host

We are Maggie Calladine & Bill Usher. Maggie used to teach music, dance, and drama to elementary school students in Golden and has recently retired. Bill is the executive and artistic director of Kicking Horse Culture. We moved here from Toronto in 2001/02 and first lived in a cabin in the Blaeberry Valley. We moved to this house in 2003 and finished the suite addition in 2010. We opened Hawkes Hill in 2015 and very proud to say our guests have voted us SuperHosts for four years running. We named the home “Hawkes Hill” after Thomas Hawkes who lived on the land back in the 1930’s.
