Canyon Ridge Lodge

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 beautiful property.

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 if in Golden.
