We have the best internet in Kicking Horse!! Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet with download speeds of 150mbps. 90% of the chalet's up here have Telus which is maxed out at 15mbps. We couldn't watch a video with this speed and impossible to work for us.

A Real Gem

Making a booking online from thousands of kilometers away can be worrying, but Kicking Horse Lodge Gem turned out to be everything we were hoping for. We were a party of six people across three generations, ranging in age from 4 to 70. The Lodge was comfortable, sparkling clean and very well appointed, with everything we could wish to have on hand, including the most beautiful Christmas Tree, such was the timing of our stay. Anyone who has ever travelled with children will know the importance of a well-equipped kitchen and laundry. We need not have worried on this score. The boot room was huge and well laid out. The playroom was very well patronised by our group. Living areas were spacious and nicely furnished. Many thanks to our hosts, Mary and Brent. We loved Kicking Horse Lodge and all it had to offer.

Family Ski Holiday

Well appointed space for our 8 adults and 5 children. Beds and bedding were very comfy. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook big meals. The mud room entry was great for keeping the clothing and ski clutter confined!! The hot tub was a nice extra but the broken step was a bit of a hazard for children getting in and out. Owner said it’s being fixed asap. Not really a ski in ski out location but certainly close enough to walk to the lifts. Overall a great accommodation!

Golf Trip in Golden

Great cabin for hosting 10+ adults. We had 14 men on our trip and were able to sleep everyone comfortably (shared 2 beds). Property is in great shape with recent landscape renovations, a large hot tub and pool table are nice additions. The only downside is the main front door is labeled as "emergency use only" which is a minor inconvenience and was not detailed clearly in listing. Required to use alternative side door on lower level.
