Golden Ultra Trip 2024
My husband and daughter and I stayed here when she participated in the Golden Ultra which had stages both in Golden and at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort. It was a very convenient location. The kitchen was well set up for cooking and we enjoyed relaxing in the great room between events. The bathrooms have been recently updated and the finishings make it seem like home. We would definitely come again.

In Heaven!
Our Family was in heaven at Mel's ski in and out property! In march we could ski from the garage down the frozen driveway and over the frozen little street thar is Purcel Woods. From there you crossn1 street (5 meters) and are skiing downhill to the base/gondola. The house was perfect. With a queen bed and three sets ofnl bunkbeds we didnt even need the pull out couch. The hot tub worked great as did everything else. Loved our time and hope to be back soon.

Great cabin for a group or family, short walk to ski in/out.
Comfy cabin with that real "ski cabin" feel, nicely equipped and decorated. It's a 2 min walk to the ski run and then you can ski to the gondola, ski out right to the house off the run. Has a double garage which is nice as well for parking and storing gear. Hot tub is a nice plus! Would definitely come back in the future. Hosts were great, lots of detailed info on property.

beautiful cabin
we have been going to Kicking Horse for several years but had never stayed at this house before. In the future this will be our first choice. The cabin is very cozy and was beautifully decorated for the holiday season. The beds are very comfortable, the showers have rainwater style heads, the kitchen is open and well stocked with cooking materials. The host was very nice, easy to communicate with, and very accomodating. As long as there is a little bit of snow, this place is a true ski-in ski-out. We can't wait to come back.

Kicking Horse Ski House
Overall, this is a good house and a good setup. We loved the downstairs hangout for the teens with a PS5. This left the main floor for the adults. The only weird thing that would drop my ratings is that we had to bring our own towels - both for the hot tub and the bathrooms. Overall a great rental.

True ski in and ski out!
This is the second time our family stayed in this beautiful home and it didn’t disappoint. The location is so perfect for getting to the lower gondola in the morning and returning for a lunch and then getting back out to the hill for the afternoon ski. The home is accessible off the Pioneer chair lift and a small trail that basically goes right to the house. The home is super clean and very well looked after. My three son’s totally enjoyed the hot tub after shreading pow all day. Dealing with the owner Mel is a snap and she will respond very quickly. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to stay on the hill to give this home a try. Kevin. W
