The Lazy Elk | Private 16-acre Mountain Lodge + Hot Tub

Welcome to The Lazy Elk — your own private 3,500 sq. ft. log mountain lodge, set among 16 peaceful acres of woodland with spectacular, unobstructed mountain views.

Made for memorable escapes with family and friends, there’s space to explore outside and unwind inside — from private walking and snowshoe trails to our exceptional 8-person hot tub, games room and spacious log-framed living areas.

Adventure all day in the mountains, then come home to your own private lodge in the woods.

The space

There’s plenty to explore without even leaving the property, with private walking and snowshoe trails winding through the woods. Venture a little further and you’ll find endless opportunities for adventure in every season — from skiing and snowboarding to snowmobiling, hiking, biking and exploring the Canadian Rockies.

After a day in the mountains, come home to your own private lodge in the woods. Soak under the stars in our exceptional 8-person Beachcomber hot tub, challenge the family to a game of pool, warm up by the fire, or simply settle in and enjoy the peace, space and mountain views.

Highlights:

• Private woodland with walking and snowshoe trails straight from the lodge
• Exceptional 8-person Beachcomber hot tub with spectacular mountain views
• Four comfortable bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms — plenty of space for families and groups of up to 8
• Spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas for time together
• 75" TV with various streaming services subscribed; 42" TV in games room
• Large games room with pool table and wood stove
• Large deck and outdoor spaces surrounded by nature
• Family and dog friendly, with plenty of room to play and explore
• Peaceful and private, yet just 10-15 minutes from downtown Golden

A perfect base for year-round adventure

In winter, spend your days skiing or riding at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, less than 30 minutes away, or head out snowmobiling — the renowned Quartz Creek riding area is around 30 minutes away, with plenty more options throughout the surrounding mountains.

You can also step straight outside the lodge to explore our own snowy woodland trails. Then come home, sink into the hot tub beneath a star-filled sky, warm up by the fire and settle in for a cozy evening together. You don’t need to ski or sled every day to experience winter here — sometimes the best days are simply spent enjoying the snow, the silence and having your own little piece of the mountains to yourselves.

In summer, the surrounding mountains become a playground for hiking, biking, rafting, paddling and exploring the six nearby national parks — or simply slow down, enjoy the wildlife and soak up the peace of the Blaeberry Valley.

Whether you come for the adventures or simply to escape somewhere beautiful with the people you love, The Lazy Elk is more than somewhere to sleep at the end of the day — it’s part of the experience.

Guest access
Guests have access to the entire lodge including an attached private garage for one car and another outdoor covered space under a pole-barn for 2 more vehicles. The driveway also has plenty of space for additional cars. The lodge is nestled in the Blaeberry valley, 15 minutes from town, so travel by car is essential.
