Had a wonderful stay with my large group of friends and their little ones. The place was clean, well stocked, and Gabriel (property manager) and Joe’s team (cleaning staff) were responsive and attentive to our needs throughout our stay. Beautiful location on the resort thats 1 minute to the Kicking Horse village base and right beside awesome cross country ski trails at the Nordic Centre. Looking forward to staying again next year!

Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms and space for the kids to play. Very comfy. Just found that any noise was amplified, and t.v.s were frustrating. Would be nice to have a generic log in on all. Otherwise had a great stay.

We were visiting the area with our entire extended family for a wedding. This property did not disappoint! The home is beautiful, clean and well maintained. Plenty of space for everyone in comfortable bedrooms. The well equipped kitchen/living space gave us more than enough room to prepare meals, eat together and relax. The back porch and hot tub were perfect after our long days playing tourist! The neighbourhood is a picture-perfect, quiet retreat. We were sad to say goodbye but what a perfect place to stay while we were there.

The property was lovely and met our family’s needs with one exception. It would have been most helpful to be informed that Canada Rt 1 is closed for major construction every day from 10pm-7am! (Major job lasting years) We were 13k from the VRBO home only to be told at 11:30pm to drive back to Lake Louise and take a detour. Luckily, we filled cars with gas; detour has no services, cell or navigation. We arrived Kicking Horse Resort at 3:30 AM. 6 adults in two cars, never saw detour signs coming from Jasper on 93. Signs well marked other directions. PLEASE include note regarding the closure so no other guests have this experience!

Great experience and stay
Really enjoyed our time at the property. The accommodations (bed, bathrooms, living space) were all great. Ample room for 10 guests to enjoy themselves. Movie room and hot tub were nice touches. Would happily return!

Amazing Family Vacation
The house is amazing and such a wonderful location. We took our large extended family and did a mixture of snowmobiling and skiing at Kickinghorse. Nice proximity to sledding staging areas, and perfect for skiing.
House is beautiful and well set up. Everything you could need in the kitchen.
Beds were extremely comfortable and the fact that every room has an ensuite was perfect!
Only recommendation would be to have more towels and linens. There is only one set of towels per bathroom so we found we had to do a lot of laundry, and there wasn’t much for any extra bedding or blankets. But that’s a super easy fix.
All in all it was amazing and we were very thankful to enjoy the house! The hot tub was a wonderful bonus!

Large House for Family Reunion
Good sized bedrooms with lots of bathrooms. Lots of space on main floor for meals and visiting. Well stocked kitchen, could have used more towels for bathrooms and kitchen. Would recommend location for families. Deck and hot tub were a bonus.

Beautiful home
We needed a large home where everyone could be together and yet have their own space. This was perfect.

Gorgeous house
Was ideal for our group of 13 hikers.
Very spacious & ample seating for socializing. Beds were extremely comfortable ( important!). Lovely decor & lots of natural light. Would highly recommend.

Hiking Club
The property was clean and comfortable with a bathroom for every room. Along with the property next door we had 22 people with us. There were ample dishes in this house and ample seating to serve dinner twice to all 22. The hot tub was used every night and there was a comfortable seating area on the back deck. The only drawback we found very disconcerting was that on a sunny day the sun coming in the kitchen windows and the bathrooms without shades was blinding. I would guess this isn't a problem in winter.

Ooh Canada!
This was our first trip to British Columbia and it will be one of our most memorable family vacations. The home was perfect for our family of 9. Everyone had their own room and private bath, with plenty of communal space to gather for meals, games and movie watching. We had all our meals at the house which was easy, as the kitchen was well equipped with cookware, dishes, glasses and utensils.
I would highly recommend staying at this property anytime of the year. Thank you for the opportunity and for sharing your lovely home.

Very Happy
This is our second time and we were not disappointed. The house is beautiful and has everything you need to have a vacation in the mountains. Thanks Garbril Higham again for all the help.

Great house! Beautiful views & great location to the mountain!
We had a great stay! Gabriel is extremely responsive to emails/calls and a maintenance issue we had was solved impressively quickly. The gondola is an easy walk/ski and can finish the day skiing right to the door. We hope to be back! Thanks, Gabriel!

Best stay in KickingHorse
Through the years, I have stayed many times in KickingHorse for weeks or simply for a weekend. By far the Blue Heron house is the most comfortable we have stayed i. Open, clear, everything than you need at hand and with excellent quality.
Highly recommend it. GO!!
