Canyon Ridge Lodge — Hotel in Golden

Canyon Ridge Lodge is located on the outskirts of Golden near the Skybridge. It is about 30 minutes from the heart of Yoho and about 60 minutes from the heart of Banff National Parks. We stayed in the suite, which was incredibly spacious and well equipped. It had just about everything and more including a full kitchen, grill, and washer/dryer. The owners are quite friendly and helpful. I would say there were two things to note in an otherwise great stay. One is the location. It did start to wear on me the distance to get into the parks to access the trails. While it is no fault of the property, I'd probably look to stay somewhere a little more central. Although that can be quite hard to do depending on availability. The one upside to this is that we drove down through Kootenay and up to Golden one day, making for a very nice loop. The second note is that the room gets quite warm on hot days. I'm assuming the second floor gets a bit warmer, which is where the suite is located. There is a portable AC unit in the room, however the exhaust was not secured to the wall. This caused issues where the exhaust tube would often pop out of the wall, dumping hot air back into the room. We woke up one night hot as heck because the tube popped out and heated the suite rather than cooled. We eventually pinned the unit against the tube to kind of hold it in place, but it was far from ideal. If they get that fixed, there would not be any negative notes on the unit itself. Overall, a...

Kat and Paul run an excellent property for staying in if visiting Golden. We stayed for 3 nights in the large, very well appointed apartment comprising a large bedroom, open plan living/dining/ kitchen area and bathroom which is accessed by its own outer door. It has all you need if self catering plus a washing machine and dryer which was appreciated on our 17 day holiday in B.C. The bonus is a large balcony with views of the mountains and sunset. There is also access to the hot tub in the garden but as the weather was very warm we didn't make use of this.||The house is set in a quiet residential area 10 minutes drive from downtown Golden.||We were welcomed by Paul who showed us around the apartment. After inquiring of our plans for our stay; which were to use Golden as a base for hiking in Yoho National Park which is only 30 minutes drive away. Paul gave us excellent advice on how to access these and recommending eating places in Golden.||Overall wonderful hospitality in a...

Kat Coatesworth runs a wonderful B&B on a hill above Golden. We stayed 5 nights while heli-skiing with CMH Purcell, which is only 5 minutes away. Our group of 3 friends enjoyed having our own en suite bedrooms, but also having a common room where we could hang out and watch the Winter Olympics on our iPads (bedrooms have TVs with cable service plus Chromecast capability). Kat is an avid snowboarder and her whole family skis, so she offers knowledgeable advice about Kicking Horse ski resort and winter weather conditions. She also serves a bounteous breakfast. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all spotlessly clean, and stocked with quality linens, towels and toiletries, and the hot tub is clean and well-maintained. Canyon Ridge is great value. I would definitely stay again...
