Another great stay with Kicking Horse Vacation Rentals. The Himalaya was perfect for our group of 16. Access to the cross country ski trails and the upper parking lot of the resort was a breeze. The kids really liked being able to sled in the yard outside. House was appointed with everything we needed and was as advertised. Looking forward to staying with Gabriel and the team again soon!

This rental sleeps a lot of people, and the cleanliness, beds and amenities are all great! What is not clear from the pictures is that this house appears to be a conversion from a duplex. As such, there is not really any place for a larger group to hang out together, the upstairs TV/video area is blocked from view from the couch due to the bar height, there is only one small sofa in the basement rec area, etc. The dining table area is great however. Some of the amenities could use some TLC/replacement (Fooseball, Pool Table, kitchen utensils - not a big deal. Overall a nice place to stay, and sleep a lot of people in comfort. .

this property was perfect for our group. ski in ski out. bedroom for all. we do a lot of cooking kitchen was very well appointed with plenty of space. we all loved skiing right to the back door at days end enter the combo, and into the ski room with ski hangers coat hangers,the boot and glove dryer is one like i have never seen 12 pair of boots and gloves. slip into your bathing suit and into the hot tub. haven't even gone upstairs yet. simply awesome. Chewbaka tours will absolutely be back. thanks again Gabriel

The house and property were exactly as described. Our group had a wonderful stay, and will consider the house next time we visit Kicking Horse!

This property is beautiful with lots of bonus features like multiple head showers, lots of storage space, tons of kitchen and coffee appliances, multiple dishwashers etce etc. Views are great, the loctian is amazing. I histed a womens retrear of 10 women, plus myswlf and the chef.

It was a really nice cozy accommodations. Highly recommended it to my friends and family.

Gabriel's place looks great on photos, but it looks even better in person! We were there in Aug 2023 and had a great experience overall. The place was large enough to host the 18 (10 adults and 8 kids) of us comfortably. Entertainment options in the home was great and it was awesome that there was a printer too which helped us in taking print outs of the Canada Parks pass! Communication with the host was seamless! Would definitely recommend this place as a wonderful option to stay!

This is a wonderful property from which to explore Golden, Lake Louise and Banff. Our large family loved the multitude of sleeping and entertainment areas. It provided us the perfect launching pad to engage in amazing outdoor adventures and return to a comfortable home and enjoy our loved ones. We will definitely return!

Wonderful place to stay at

Great

House was huge! Beds and bathrooms were plentiful. Kitchen layout was perfect! Bar area was accommodating. Downstairs recreation room was excellent perk as well as hot tub, and ski room with boot/glove dryers. Multiple wash/dryers made for no hassle laundry for large group. The house was well equipped with bodywash products, toilet paper, paper towels, basic kitchen supplies including spices, coffee, etc.

Fun spot for a get together with a bunch of families for a ski weekend.

great space to have a blast with family and friends the house is well equipped for entertaining and cooking

We had an incredible experience with this property and would love to return again in the future. Everything was as promised and the home was amazing for hosting a group of our size

House is beautiful and very well equipped! Location is very close to Kicking Horse Ski resort. Would definitely rents again

Fantastic place! The home included heated flooring, speakers embedded into the roof, convenient light switch and cabinet labels, comfortable mattresses, coffee makers, a pasta maker, and movies. Everything you could need and more!

The only thing I found not great was garbage disposal. Check out list said you can leave your garbage in the garage but when you go down to the garage there’s a sign that said to keep from extra charges to take garbage to the garbage shack which wasn’t overly clear on exact location.

Great place for friends or family to gather. Well stocked kitchen. Comfy beds. Pool table and football table are a nice addition.

The house was in a quiet neighborhood and had a nice layout for spending time together, but also having privacy. The big parks (Banff, Glacier) were an easy 45-60 minute ride away.

I give the experience 5 stars Gabriel exceeds expectations as a host. He was flexible, responded in a very timely manner to any questions. The home was just right for our family. We had a wonderful time.

The house us as beautiful as it looks and well stocked with amenities. We had 10 people stay and everything worked out great!

Simple and easy process. All very helpful. Thanks to Gabrial. We will recommend and would rent again.

It was a great size for a family gathering and the amenities were very appreciated.

Really enjoyed our stay. The house is clean and has many spots for people to enjoy without feeling on top of each other. We loved the pool table and the fact we could bring our furry family members. House was well stocked and property manager was quick to reply and easy to work with. Great trip!

This spacious property with beautiful views allowed our family to comfortably visit, play games, eat well and make memories that we will hold onto until our next reunion.

House was fabulous for our group, ages 1-68. Great location, ample space for our, large family. Adults could socialize downstairs with while children slept upstairs and on the lower level. Family room accommodated our large group, kitchen allowed for multi cooks and food prep. Pool table and foosball table were GREAT for the older children. We hope to return next year.

We had a family get-together with 12 total, 4 kids, and this place was perfect. The attention to detail was amazing: labels on every light switch and drawer, separate towels and cups for hot tub, cooking supplies like spices and condiments, etc. We will definitely be booking again for our annual reunion!

The Himilaya is huge. Certainly, a lot of space to move around. We found the kitchen very useful and well-appointed to serve our group of 8 adults. Our beds were comfortable and the location is right on Kicking Horse Mountain and was very serene. There are some layout choices in the home that we didn't find as useful for our group as we tend to spend much of our time all together and this house seems more geared to groups that like to split up around the house - young families perhaps. Because of this, we weren't all able to sit together comfortably to watch a movie together. The outside dining table is in very rough shape and too small for a large group - so dinners were, unfortunately, all inside. The advertisement is for high-speed internet - that was not the case. We had outages and slow speed regularly and a router reset was not able to correct. Also, don't forget an adaptor for your iphone as the home's speaker system is 100% wired and you need an aux jack to use it. We didn't have that which was a shame.

The chalet was not cleaned at all. It was dusty everywhere. Places such as the patio, bar counter, and living areas were not clean whatsoever. We also found dirty diapers and multiple hair balls on the main floor washroom behind the kitchen. There were also many problems regarding the wifi as well as the heaters as they randomly turned on during the night making our first night even more unpleasant. We come to Golden yearly and we’ve never encountered that type of experience. We will definitely not be coming back to this location. We are all very disappointed and dissatisfied.

Gabriel was a great host. Very responsive and house was as advertised. Would definitely stay here again...

Gabriel was a welcoming and efficient host and the home was in great shape tucked away nicely in the mountains yet close to the ski hill. We had a few less people than we could have given the current restrictions, however this property would be great for gathering with extended family in friends and we will be back to do just that in the future! Thank you for your hospitality!

From the drive in, to the location of such a Fabulous property, I can’t say enough good things about it. The house was very well equipped from bedrooms through to the kitchens. Enjoying a hot tub after a days ski is second to none. Truly a great spot, we will be back
