Log Dovetail Bison Cabin - Mountain Life Getaway!
About this cabin rental
Nestled in Golden, this lovely cabin for $241 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. The space 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 here 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 is a master bedroom located on the main floor with a queen bed. The upstairs loft includes one queen bed and one twin bed. Comfy mattresses by Endy. The loft is accessible by ladder and is a great place for kids to have their own space or additional adults. 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 is included. There is no dishwasher or microwave. As we are encouraging people to come and getaway from the usual distractions of life, we have specifically opted not to include Wi-Fi. In lieu of Wi-Fi we have included board and card games. A Bose bluetooth speaker sytem 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, horseback riding and many more adventures! * Our intent is 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 * Guest access Please note google maps is not accurate in our area. We are approximately 20 minutes West of Golden. Guest may access the full property on the lower side of the road. The high side of the road is our working ranch and is off limits. Interaction with guests We are an energetic busy family. With all sorts of family activities and operating a working ranch and construction business. We are busy for sure! We will be available by phone for emergencies but may not always be near the cabin. Other things to note Please leave the ranch house as clean as when you arrived as possible. Self Check-in is anytime after 4PM Check-out by 11AM Snowmobile or ATV Trailer Parking on Request NO Snowmobiling or ATV'ing on Property or Neighbouring Properties NO Parties NO Events NO Smoking NO Pets Limit Outdoor Recreation and Music to Earlier Than 10 PM No Wi-Fi Available 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.

This is a darling cabin! Evie has decorated it to feel comfy and homey, with a well-equipped kitchen. As noted in their Listing, there is no TV or Wi-Fi... but we did get a weak cell signal. Bring your iPod and plug into the Bose speaker provided, which has great sound! The cabin is located 20 kms west of Golden.... so not close enough to head into town for the evening.... but nicely removed from traffic, just a couple of kms off the Hwy. If using both bedrooms, note that the loft upstairs is accessed by a ladder (so plan on coming down the ladder in the night, if you need to use the washroom)
The foam mattresses on both beds were comfy, but a bit firm. A 2" memory foam on top of each mattress would make a big difference, for those of us that like a bit softer bed!
If you are looking for peace and quiet, and to "unplug" for a day or a few days, you will love this cabin!
The deck out back is a really nice feature, overlooking the woods!
Communication with the owners was excellent, and the pre-arrival emails from Chad were very helpful.
We gave it 4 stars instead of 5, mostly because of the comfort level of the mattresses, and because the ladder to the loft was a bit of a challenge in the night.

We really loved the Bison cabin. It’s a style of cabin we have always dreamed of having, so it was super fun to stay. It was cozy and clean and we actually enjoyed unplugging for a few days. The kids didn’t even complain about the lack of screen time 😊 thank you for your lovely cabin.

We were amazed by the quality and thoughtful ess of the furniture and decor. Everything we needed to make us feel comfortable was there. The stove was an excellent source of heat and we were warm on the chilly nights. The cabin is well built and we had no drafts.
I can't recommend this high enough! Thank you Evie and Chad!

We have stayed in our share of cabin properties over the years. This cabin is definitely one of the best I have seen. The cabin is well equipped, very comfortable, exceedingly clean, and is in a very peaceful location. Very eco friendly, as well! We will likely book again if we ever venture that way again. Thanks for a great stay!

Comfortable and Cozy
My friends and I had stayed here over this past Canada Day weekend and we couldn’t have asked for a more welcoming and pleasant stay! Everything about the cabin is well thought out from the fully stocked kitchen to the cream and coffee that is supplied. The beds are incredibly comfy, we had the best night’s sleep! The view of the mountain in the front yard is incredible and we had the best fires under the Milky Way! Couldn’t recommend this place more :)

Great location for a quiet stay
Owners were very easy to deal with, property was as advertised, nice views, fairly remote location. Firepit is perfectly setup with a large supply of wood facing the mountains. BBQ outside overlooking the forest. The area is very quiet. We went hiking at Thompson Falls (18mins drive, nice hike) as well as visiting Kicking Horse and Golden. Very relaxing stay.

A quaint little cabin, prefect for relaxing and reading. Napping and boardgames. We love that there is no wifi, but the cabin is so well appointed and has all the kitchen stuff you’d need for a wonderful vacation. Beds are comfy. Loft is AWESOME for kids to feel they have their own place.
Coffee on the balcony is the perfect way to start a morning.

The cabin is absolutely beautiful and has everything you could need. There is a light airy feeling to the accomodation and yes, the kids love the "upstairs". Ok the composting toilet is different but makes absolute environmental sense and really there is nothing to get used to. Communication was just amazing with Chad and Evie and they got back to us within minutes of sending a message. They seem an amazing family living in a beautiful part of British Columbia.

We stayed at this absolutely beautiful cabin for 2 nights while driving from Vancouver to Winnipeg. Amazing spot nestled in the mountains. The cabin had everything you could possibly need- so well thought out, spotlessly clean and comfortable. Morning coffee on the deck was amazing. Would love to come back in Winter as I suspect it is even more magical then. Hope to return and highly recommend.

My friends and I stayed here when we skied at Kicking Horse and had an amazing stay! Comfy beds, wood stove to keep you nice and toasty, and kitchen was more than adequate to cook our meals. The cabin is about 18km outside of Golden, but it was nice to be a bit secluded and enjoy the views! My only critique would be that the couch has seen a few better days, but would definitely stay here again!

We recently stayed at this cozy cabin for a ski trip at Kicking Horse. Chad and Evie thought of everything to make it a wonderful stay. The cabin was clean, well stocked and absolutely enchanting. From the front porch piled high with wood for the wood stove, the toiletries, the fresh cream in the fridge and the stocked coffee and tea, they thought of everything! It was quiet and peaceful and the perfect hidden gem for a getaway weekend. They were quick to respond to any questions, and had a binder and small signs clarifying and features needed concisely. We all had a wonderful time and will definitely be back. Thanks again!
