Bill and Maggie's place was lovely, well-stocked, clean, and perfectly located. We would definitely return and recommend to friends!

The property, view, hosts, everything was fantastic! Bill checked the weather for us, left the light on, answered quickly whenever we needed anything! Can't wait to come back with the family again next year!

The kids really loved the wood-burning stove and the hot tub. The host made sure we had enough wood to keep the fire going every night. The place had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Would recommend to others, for sure. Thanks Bill!

The views from this place are unreal. We enjoyed the location which was extremely quiet. Bill was great, was easy to get a hold of and was around if we needed him.

Hawkes Hill is a welcoming and warm place; hosts have taken care to ensure you’ll have everything you need for your stay. It really feels like home. The property is just beautiful. Amazing views from the suite, and really cool little trails to enjoy. Quick drive into Golden. Bill has excellent recommendations for exploring and eating. Loved my peaceful stay.

Great location to explore Canada’s beautiful national parks. Great communication with owner.

This is an amazing place with such a wonderful view on the Columbia Valley and mountains. The appartement is well equipped and Bill is a great host. We would return anytime.

This is a cozy spot with a wonderful view for relaxing, or as base for activities in the area. Bill was very kind and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay.

We had a fabulous relaxing time, so much so have booked again. The host is kind, inviting, and helpful. We will see you again soon.

An exceptionally clean and comfortable unit with great views. Hosts are excellent at communication and welcoming. Highly recommended.

Hawkes Hill is beautiful, the view is stunning. Everything you could possibly want or need is provided! Bill was so welcoming, we couldn't have had a better time!!

The guest unit is a great addition to the private home and is very isolated other than a shared entry hall. The hot tub and balcony have the most amazing views of the valley, and the trails on the property open to beautiful meadows. My partner and I stayed here with our 1.5 year old dog and had an amazing time. The unit has ceiling fans which we were very grateful for with the heat and we were very close to town to enjoy the farmer's market and explore downtown. We also made a trip to Blaeberry River to cool off, it was great to be able to explore the valley and come back to the hot tub at night. We will definitely be returning next year!

We were delighted to arrive....however we thought VRBO meant and advertised whole house is ours so in this case owner lives attached....was not engaging and specifically told us not to use second bedroom...never said in ad we thought we paid for house. It was unseasonally warm and fan in bedroom didnt work...bed was poor quality as was bedding...many things advertised were not there like telescope,CD player( we brought our cds)pool table ,gazebo,bbq....never mentioned in as there are 3 flights of stairs with no bannister to hold on to for us older folks.. Frankly we left earlier than what was paid for and think a refund is in order for all the aforementioned items not actually there......we told owner that we had 2 dogs and never was it mentioned there were cats all around....We advised owner of broken outdoor chair,scratched walls from rocker which we never sat in and several lights burnt out....all in all a poor experience ..sorry

Our visit to Hawkes Hill was absolutely wonderful. The space is comfortable and very well equipped, with plenty of personal touches that make the stay just that much better. The bed and linens were comfortable, and the place was absolutely spotless. Bill was a pleasure to communicate with and offered us a walkthrough of the space upon arrival. The views from the property and the hot tub were incredible and worth the trip alone.

Perfect rental for a couples getaway.

We absolutely loved this property. It was very clean, comfortable, and had lots of charm. The view of the river valley was mesmerizing and the hot tub and wood stove took this place to a whole new level. Bill was a wonderful host who was extremely accommodating and welcoming. We will definitely recommend this place to all of our friends.

4th year in a row staying here, nice quiet little get away

The weather was unseasonably warm so the snow conditions were not great for skiing but we had a very relaxing stay. The trails that can be accessed out the back door were great for snow shoeing

This was a great adventure, lots of snow, a little cold but we were prepared for that, nice hiking and fun in the snow, and the hot tub was great , Bill is very nice and respectful and if we needed anything he was more than willing to accommodate Thanks Bill & Maggie for sharing your little piece of paradise with us. Appreciation and Gratitude from the Rossignol Family

The location and the views of the property were out of this world. The pictures definitely do not do it justice. The hottub was one of our favorite things about our winter stay. Our host was friendly and the house was equipped with everything we needed. We definitely will be coming back

Bill was great to communicate detailed directions as to how to get there. Glad he mentioned that HWY 1 was closed because I know I would have forgot to check. Bill is extremely friendly and helpful with anything and everything that we needed and it was a pleasure to meet him and stay at his place. It was clean, quiet, with beautiful views and exactly what my wife and I were wanting and needing. We will be back no doubt about it.

Our host, Bill could not have be more helpful and nice! The major road leading to his property was closed down due to a bad accident just about 1/4 mile from his turn off. The police detoured all traffic (except the big trucks) up to a dirt/gravel road thru the hills. Bill stood in the light rain and cold wind for about 1/2 hour on the dirt road holding up a piece of cardboard with my name on it. As we drove by my wife said “look, that sign has your name on it”. We stopped and Bill escorted us to his house. Really, not very people would take the time and effort to do this. This is the kind of host and more importantly person he is. The unit we stayed in was clean, tidy and very comfortable. Great view. All the kitchen pots and pans, silverware, and plates were spotless. It is a very comfortable place to stay. When we go back thru that area we most certainly will ask Bill if his rental is available. I give this unit and especially Bill a 10+ rating.

Bill and Maggie were great hosts with a lovely property to let. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We absolutely LOVED this place. Full of light, clean, and comfortable (especially the queen bed), we stayed here for three nights. It looks out over an enormous green valley with mountains just beyond - the deck about doubles the size of the interior and we spent a good portion of our time there. It's well stocked and has everything needed for a short stay. Bill was extremely responsive to questions and took the time to meet us/do a walkthrough, and see us off - we SO enjoyed spending time with him (Maggie was away during our stay). It's a bit of a drive to services (grocery, restaurants) - maybe 15 minutes or so - but the drive is beautiful and our intent was to be in nature, not close to town. We would absolutely stay here again.

Communication was great from the start. We were welcomed at the door when we got there. The driveway is a bit steep but the place is worth it. With its friendly and experienced host, great views, cute, well equipped accommodations, satellite wifi, a friendly outdoor cat, and a location halfway between Yoho and Glacier, this place was a great home away from home for us.

This property is the perfect place to stay when visiting Canadian National Parks. It's quiet, private, clean and the bed is super comfy! The hosts are fantastic too.

Bill was great with communication and welcoming us upon arrival. We stayed for two evenings and were busy our entire trip so we used the rental purely for sleeping arrangements. It was a bit outside of Golden so it required a bit of a drive (15-20 min) to get to restaurants and stores/activities. Is not an issue for most because the rental is equipped with everything needed for meals. We just got in late and did not want to hassle with making meals so it required a bit of a drive. However, the distance from town is more than made up for by the peaceful setting and the tranquil feeling of the deck. Such a relaxing atmosphere. Bill and Maggie were so mindful of everything that they even equipped the space with an AC unit due to the high temps. Thanks for making such a welcoming space and sharing it with others. We recommend this rental unit for anyone visiting Golden.

Exactly as described with everything one needs. A perfect getaway even for seniors who enjoy quiet evenings with a million dollar view and even when a mountain thunderstorm roars by! Thanks to Bill, a most congenial and informative host. Be well all.

Perfect place, awesome view

Bill is helpful and easy to talk to. All four of us (2 adults and 2 kids)enjoyed the mountain view and watched hummingbirds very much. Definitely will recommend for people who are looking for a property close to nature.

We enjoyed our stay and will definitely return

We had the most incredible weekend. The views of the mountains, the quiet surroundings...we cannot wait to go back. Maggie and Bill have thought of everything to make your stay.
