Hawkes Hill is a peaceful country getaway 12 minutes south of Golden with spectacular views overlooking the Columbia River valley hosted by Bill since 2015. Be wowed by our fully furnished, two bedroom self contained suite with a wrap-around deck and a million dollar view. We're proud to say that our guests continue to review us as SuperHosts through all these years.

When comparing nightly fees, please note that we do not charge an additional cleaning fee on top of your quoted fee.<br>
Hawkes Hill is a fully equipped two bedroom suite adjacent to, but fully independent of, the owner’s home. The suite is full of sunlight and looks out over the Columbia River valley and the Purcell Mountains to the west and the Rockies to the east. Our guests tell us we have the million dollar view. To the north we overlook a wooded meadow perfect for cross country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter and easy walks or hiking during the rest of the year.

The suite sleeps four comfortably. The master bedroom features a queen size bed. The second bedroom has two twins. (PLEASE SEE FEE NOTE BELOW.)

A large spacious living area off the bedrooms and bathroom makes up the rest of the suite and combines a kitchen and sitting area with a wood stove. The kitchen is fully equipped with stove, fridge, microwave, dishes and utensils. Wi-Fi is available as well as satellite tv.

Price listed is for two people using one bedroom. For a 3rd and 4th person, add $25/night per person each.

PLEASE NOTE: our basic fee is calculated for two people sharing the same room. If two people wish to use both rooms for their comfort, please confirm with us before booking. Using both rooms increases our cleaning load and cost so we need to add a $25/stay fee when two people using both bedrooms. Otherwise we do not charge a cleaning fee. Thanks.

Minimum two night stay, however the constant feedback we receive from our guests is that they wished they had booked for at least three nights or more.

We live in the main house adjacent to the suite and are accessible if the need arises. We love meeting guests and hearing about their lives and travels, but we also respect a mutual need for privacy. For your arrival we have stocked the kitchen with tea, coffee fixings, cooking oil and some condiments to make you welcome.

We strive to provide a comfortable place for our guests to relax and enjoy their holiday, and we ask that guests are considerate and respectful of our home and beautiful environment. No smoking on the property, please. No parties. Please ask us about bringing your dog. There is a pet fee.

Surrounded by five national parks and close to Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, we are situated in a breathtaking mountain wilderness only 3 hours from the Calgary International Airport. In the winter most guests are here to ski or board at the resort. In the summer, almost all of our guests will use Hawkes Hill as their home base to go off visiting all the sites like Lake Louise, Banff, Columbia Ice Fields, Emerald Lake etc.

As well as the adventure playground outside our door, Golden is well known for an active arts scene featuring two dozen concerts of music, theatre and dance annually. On the Valentine's Day weekend, the Snow King & Lady Spring come into town for our annual MasqueParade outdoor pageant in Spirit Square. Throughout the summer, there are free mid-week concerts featuring touring festivals artists in Golden's Spirit Square. Check out Kicking Horse Culture online for more info.

    Great host who showed us the ins and outs for the lodging. The only minor issue was the painted subfloors. Highly recommend.

    Everything was fabulous. It is a beautiful location. The kitchen was well stocked and everything was just very comfortable. The hot tub and the wood-burning stove was a nice touch for a winter stay. Bill was very responsive. Would like to stay again.

    My wife and I stayed for a weekend getaway and had a fantastic time! Bill was very helpful and kind in ensuring we arrived safely through some blizzard weather. The hot tub was well maintained, the views incredible, and the place super cozy. We were leaving wishing we had a few more nights to stay!Don't let the opportunity to stay here pass you by.

    Amazing views of the Columbia wetlands. Apartment is very comfortable, beautiful, & clean. Bill was a attentive & pleasant host. We did not cook because we ate dinner with family, not on site. But, all appliances were in good condition. My only concern is identifying the drive way after dark. I would recommend solar lights with a large address ## for clear identification.We would definitely return and highly recommend to others!

    Fabulous place to stay just outside Golden. Beautiful view from the balcony and the accommodation itself is extremely comfortable. Bill couldn’t have been more helpful both in settling is in and in giving brilliant recommendations for how to make the most of our stay. Would highly recommend without any reservations.

    Great stay at Hawkes Hill - nothing could have been better. Bill was an excellent host and was so kind to give us a vase with some of his beautiful flowers to enjoy during our stay! We also enjoyed Bill's sweet and lovable cat, Bella!

    Comfortable, quiet, cozy and simply a remarkable rental! The host, Bill, is extremely knowledgable about the area and anything you may want to do while visiting.I enjoyed white water rafting, visiting 3 National Parks and taking long walks on trails on the property.

    What a wonderful, cozy retreat! It is hard to say what was better: the amazing view from the deck, the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in, or the engaging and hospitable host! Bill was so gracious; giving us interesting stories and local advice when asked, and granting us privacy at all other times. When an unavoidable hot tub repair took it off-line for our two nights' stay, Bill let us know ahead of time and provided a growler of our favorite kind of beer as an apology! Golden was a perfect jumping off point for The Lake Louise area; although it is a bit of a distance (maybe 45 minutes), it was lovely to be based in a charming little town with interesting shops, restaurants, and a river walkway. In short: this was the best of all worlds and we are very grateful to Bill for providing this idyllic getaway.

    We had such a great week in Golden. Bill went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything that we needed. This location was perfect for exploring hikes in Yoho and Golden. He also gave us plenty of recommendations for nearby things to see and do. One of a kind property! The views from the deck were the best way to start and end each day.

    This property was fabulous! The accommodations were very comfortable and the bed as well. The location is quiet and there's trails in meadows where you can find quiet walks. Bill and Maggie were so helpful in suggesting places to visit. I loved the hot tub for soaking after a day of hiking. Bill was so responsive to issues that I encountered in losing my wallet. I'm so grateful for his assistance. Thank you for an absolutely, awesome stay!
