Downtown Golden
My family and I had a very enjoyable stay at the property. That was definitely a very nice backyard where we sat and enjoyed ourselves. Later we walked downtown and enjoyed the area. The house is very clean, just exactly what we needed. A great location for us to get to Lake Louise. I highly recommend this VRBO.

Great place in Golden! Close to Kicking Horse!
My husband and I used this cute place as home base for backcountry ski touring day trips out of kicking horse. It had everything we needed, great appliances, was clean, decorated nicely, and easy check-in and out process. Simple communication with the host. Close to restaurants and a grocery store. Highly recommend!
