About this cabin rental

Nestled in Golden, this lovely cabin for £140 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. Linda & Willie - Salmon Arm BC

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!
