About this cabin rental

The Space
This private, brand new hand built log dovetail cabin is what mountain getaway dreams are made of. This luxuriously rustic cabin has a full kitchen, and is designed for 6 people. The cabin is on a 160 acre working ranch. Located in the middle of several mountain ranges and national parks, this is your base for unlimited mountain adventure. 20min. west of Golden, BC.

At the Whisper Ranch Rooster cabin, you can curl up under a blanket by the wood stove after an adventurous day out in the mountains. This cabin is across the road from our working ranch. Yes, in the distance we have roosters that crow, cows that moo and livestock guardian dogs that bark. We don't hear them, but probably because they are the soothing sounds of the ranch to us. Some nights are louder than others. If you are a light sleeper you may hear farm noises at night. There are no city noises here, so you may also hear the sounds of other local wildlife. It's the real deal here. There is also no light pollution so on a clear night you can even see the Milky Way! There are 2 bedrooms located on the upper floor with queen beds. The upstairs loft includes 2 twin beds. Comfy mattresses by Kicking Horse Interiors. . A portable crib is available on request. USB chargers are located near all beds and other locations in the cabin. The main floor has a well-equipped kitchen including a full-size oven and fridge. A French Press and coffee and tea with real cream are included. There is no dishwasher or microwave. As we are encouraging people to come and get-away from the usual distractions of life, we have specifically opted not to include Wi-Fi. In case of an emergency. In lieu of Wi-Fi, we have included board and card games. A Bose Bluetooth speaker system is in the cabin. From construction to operation this cabin has been sustainably and eco-friendly built. Toilets consume an astonishing amount of water, so to preserve our environment we have chosen to use composting toilet technology. The compost ends up back out on our pastures. A ceiling fan is installed in the cabin but there is no air conditioning.

This cabin is your base for backcountry skiing, downhill skiing, dog sledding, mountain biking, hiking, snowmobiling, climbing, whitewater rafting, paragliding, fishing, horseback riding and many more adventures!
* Our intent is to provide ski trails and hiking trails on the ranch in the future. Currently, we are not set up to do so. At this time until we have better ranch fencing, we cannot accept pets as interactions with our ranch animals from visiting pets is not a good scenario for anyone. Thanks for understanding *

BEARS:
We live in a bear country.
Both black and grizzly bears come through the property. Grizzly's sometimes pass here in mid-May to eat the dandelions. There has never been a problem with bears in our property. For safety, do not leave food or garbage outside that attracts bears.
Make noise and walk outside in group of 2 or more.
If you find yourself close to a grizzly or black bear slowly back away. Having a bear spray also comes in handy.
Bears are wild and beautiful part of life here in our valley. It is extremely rare that anyone in the valley is threatened or harmed by a bear.

ASSUMPTION OF RISKS
I accept all the dangers and risks inherent in outdoor activities including but not limited to the hazards presented by changeable weather, wild animals, and the possibility of becoming lost in the forest.

Quiet, secluded and so well thought out! Nestled in the woods and just a short jaunt to town with so many back roads to explore! We head no idea how beautiful the Blaeberry River was until we crossed it driving up to the cabin. This was the perfect jumping off point to Radium Hot Springs, Yoho, Banff and even Jasper parks... Provided you enjoy stunning views along the way. The cabin itself is absolutely amazing! Comfortable, cozy and plenty spacious. The wood burning fireplace quickly erased any chill inside and was wonderful ambiance. The kitchen was great for nights when we felt like eating in and enjoying some down time. Couch, chairs and beds are all quite comfy and the art, decorations, quilts and blankets really made it feel special. Everything worked well and was very clean. We would absolutely love to stay here again.

We all loved staying in the Rooster Cabin - I love how it’s at the end of a road and all the windows look out on the woods and fields - it really is a get-away from it all. Loved the comfortable beds and decor and wood burning fire and all the firewood avail for us to use. Thanks so much - we will be back

My husband and I wanted a home base to hike all the surrounding national parks. This cabin is 20 minutes from Golden which is the town we relied on for essentials. The place is cute and we liked the back area that faced the forest. Unfortunately, coming from the states we didnt realize cell service would be spotty or non existent outside of large towns so we struggled with no wifi at the cabin. We also had a huge issue with flies. We couldn't figure out how they got in the cabin because we always kept the doors closed per the instructions regarding mice getting in if left open. Our only thought was maybe the composting toilet (which we found out was like a hole in the ground with a seat and sliding lid) was allowing them access. There were no closets which meant we lived out of our suitcases for the 8 days there and the kitchen was missing dishes for oven use so without a microwave we struggled to do meals there. If you're staying over a weekend and planning on all your meals out, then the kitchen has the basics. We did enjoy the wood burning furnace and the barbeque which really helped our meal planning. In our opinion, this place is probably best for short weekends. Our stay was just too long.

Had a fantastic stay… close enough to amenities to show our guests both in town and backwoods, a bit up the mountain at the end of the road. Our hosts were very available to help, but respected our privacy 😊

This is a great place! The 6 of us loved the cabin and would highly recommend to others who want a secluded place to stay with all the comforts of home. The fire pit was a nice place to relax and the hosts are easy to deal with and were very helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend this place!!!
