We built our mountainside home to an exacting standard so that our guests could relax in luxury. We have created what we believe to be one of the more unique homes in the area and since we use it often the upkeep and maintenance are well taken care of. Some highlights include:

-SIZE: 3200sqft/297sqm custom designed corner lot home sleeps 11-15 people, 11 in their own beds.

-LOCATION: Ski in/Walk out access to Kicking Horse Mountain Resort (walk out being a 4 minute walk up thestreet). It’s also one of the closest homes to the Nordic Ski Centre for cross-country skiing.

-ACCOMMODATION: 4 bedrooms. Upper level oversize master suite + den, walk in closet and large bathroom creates the perfect sanctuary. Second bedroom on the top floor sleeps a further 2-3 people. Lower level media room contains a further two bedrooms + full oversized bathroom. If needed there are two double sofa beds, a large day bed and a Pack n' Play/Baby cot.

-RELAX: Master suite contains a deep soaker tub and separate custom built tiled shower, second full bathroom has another tub/shower and another separate shower. Main floor bathroom has a large rain shower just off the mudroom so you can ski/bike to the garage and get straight in. Plenty of couches and reading nooks as well as a private 6 person undercover hot tub.

-CUISINE: We love to cook and our full kitchen reflects this, we have included a GE Gas range with convection oven and broiler, as well as a slow cooker with rice maker function. Large Fridge/Freezer combo, microwave, dishwasher, two sinks plus coffee maker, toaster and all the utensils you could think of. Undercover BBQ on the main floor deck + indoor seating for 13. Perfect for entertaining large groups.

Media room contains full home theatre including Apple TV, Free Netflix, HBO, Cable, Blu-ray player, PlayStation 3, iPod dock, 50-inch wall mounted plasma and a 5 hidden speaker + subwoofer system.

-COMFORT: Digital Panel heating system controls forced air throughout. Heated flooring in all bathrooms + Garage. Media Room and all bedrooms carpeted. Humidifiers provided in all bedrooms, plus large movable fans for the summer.

-COZY: Large comfy couches, and a huge wood burning fireplace in the great room. Two temperature controlled gas fireplaces located in the master suite and media room. 3 fireplaces in total.

-FAMILY: We created two separate entertainment/living areas, the lower basement level and the master suite level on the top floor. Both the master suite and the basement area are home theatre ready so if kids are watching Disney on one floor the adults can be watching HBO on the other. Want to hang out together Try the great room with it's roaring wood burning custom fireplace, perfect for family game night and watching the snow fall. We have also included kids utensils plus a high chair for the little ones as well.

FULL DESCRIPTION: -

Equidistant from Kicking Horse Mountain Resort and the Nordic Ski Centre this custom-built full timber-frame home is perfectly located for you and your group to enjoy all that the mountain has to offer. There is plenty to do year round for the outdoor enthusiast, or, if you just want a relaxing week to unwind with the family take advantage of the modern luxuries located throughout the home. The house has been professionally landscaped and the fittings and furnishings are top notch.

Ski in/Walk out access. In the winter months a very short walk up the street and you can strap on your skis/board and ride down to the gondola in minutes. Easily done, even with kids. For ski in, approach the runs located near the pioneer chair and ski in via the 'Westside' run. For avid cross country skiers the house is one of the closest to the Nordic Ski Centre.

Three of the bedrooms have split kings (king beds that can be converted into twin beds). The fourth bedroom contains a double futon and a single bed in the loft near the master bedroom. For additional sleeping needs, there is a pull out couch in the master bedroom along with a day bed. Plus the media room also has a pull out couch. In total, we can accommodate 15 people, with 11 having their own beds. A crib/pack n play is available with a fitted sheet should you need it.

On the top floor the oversize master suite enjoys a sitting area, gas fireplace, large flat screen TV, Blu-ray player, cable TV, Apple TV and next to the sofa bed there is a sound dock for your iPod. The granite detailed en-suite spa bath is accessed via the walk in closet. A small balcony and a large picture window complete this private and luxurious top floor retreat. Another bedroom located near the top of the stairs provides yet another comfortable sleeping area.

The main floor enjoys soaring ceilings, has a spacious fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. A large square dining table easily seats eight people, with another three people seated at the breakfast bar. The living room has amazing views, cozy couches and a large wood-burning fireplace. Just off the living room there is a wrap around deck with an undercover BBQ hooked up to a permanent gas line so you never have to worry about refilling a heavy tank. A sound system with CD player and iPod dock allow you to enjoy your own music by the fireplace. Relax with a glass of wine, your favorite book, and enjoy the 270-degree views. In the summer months open the windows and enjoy the mountain air.

Located just off the main floor through the kitchen there is a mudroom to put your wet clothes, along with a full washer/dryer combo and a bathroom with a tiled shower. This room has heated flooring and drying hooks allowing your clothes and gear to dry quickly. The garage also has heated flooring and racks to put your skis/boards.

On the lower floor there is ample space in the media room with a gas fireplace and a wet bar area. The two other bedrooms can sleep four in split kings. There is also a queen sofa bed and a full surround sound system with a large wall mounted flat screen TV. A Blu-ray player, Apple TV, PlayStation 3, Netflix, WIFI (accessible throughout the home) and an iPod dock are also included. A large second full bathroom with double sinks, separate shower, bath tub, granite counter tops and heated tile floors make for a spacious and comfortable area to unwind after your day on the hill.

Don't forget about the hot tub, which is accessible through the double doors in the media room downstairs.

This luxury mountainside home is perfect for all seasons and leaves you wanting for nothing.

    Fantastic place. Maximum flexibility with bed arrangements to accommodate men’s ski trip. Easy ski out. Short Walt to ski in. Hot tub very clean. BBQ new and even burning heat. Bed mattresses in places some guys did not like because they were a bit soft and lumpy but each had their preference. Kitchen and common spaces very roomy and accommodating to large group. Would stay here again.

    The place was terrific for a group of 10 adults. Gabriel had it set up so everyone could have their own bed. Hot tub and BBQ are a nice bonus as was lots of parking. We came back to the cabin everyday for lunch via a ski in route and then it's a 250 m walk up the road to get back to a trail which takes you to the base. Only issue we had was when we arrived, there was a note on the dishwasher saying it wasn't working. Not sure why I needed to tell the property manager this because it obviously hadn't worked for the last people either. I contacted Gabriel and he promptly came by to install another one...unfortunately it leaked and also didn't work. We were 10 adults eating 3 meals a day there...having a dishwasher is key. He refunded us a tiny token amount of money...I would have expected more given how much we were paying/night and I told him as much but he never responded. Other than that, place had everything we needed.

    Awesome home. Everything described is exactly what we experienced. Beds are comfortable, kitchen has everything you need, great room was the best; just overall a beautiful place. We enjoyed the 'real' fireplace and appreciated the wood stocked. The hot tub was wonderful to have and we used it daily. Can not say enough about this property, it was perfect. Thanks Gabe.

    Gabriel’s cottage was absolutely perfect for our group of 6. Everything in the house was extremely organized, and all of the rooms were immaculate. The kitchen was stocked with all of the essentials, and the heated floors made for a very comfortable after-ski experience. It was a great feeling to ski back home, put our gloves/boots onto the air dryer, take a quick shower, and then jump into the very spacious hot tub. I wouldn’t hesitate to return here next year for our annual ski trip!

    We spent a few days here before moving on to Banff, and the property suited our needs well. It's about 15 minutes into town, and is centrally located to a lot of good hiking and national parks. There's plenty of space in the house, and multiple areas in which to congregate. The house is as appears in the photos and the description was accurate. Be prepared to prove to the host that you're not going to throw a frat party in the house, though his concern is not without warrant as the house seems new and is in good shape. We did not have (or need) any contact or interruptions from the host during our stay. My only gripe, if I were to have one, is that I believe the checklist to launch the space shuttle is shorter than the instructions for watching TV in this house. Then again, we weren't really there to watch TV, so it wasn't that big of a deal. I would definitely consider staying here again if I were to find myself back in Golden.
