The Lazy Elk - Spacious mountain view Lodge with hot tub

Best hosts ever, fabulous communication, easy access and check out. The lodge is fully equipped with everything you need. The beds and pillows are so comfortable. The property is beyond compare and the hot tub, amazing.

This was by far the most impressive accommodation we've ever stayed in. The hosts went above and beyond to make sure our stay was incredible- they organised a Christmas tree in the cabin and even had decorations for us to put on the tree, once they learned this was a tradition we'd be missing away from home. They included a personalised gift for each of our children too. The kitchen was well stocked and everything worked like clockwork - I really appreciate the efficiency of a well run home in particular. The hosts were friendly and available to respond to our questions and address issues such as the fire stove not working at one point. Anything we raised was addressed immediately. I could not have asked for a better experience. My family and I will definitely return - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cabin to everyone. An absolute gem! Exceptional hospitality and a brilliant property - you will never find anything as good as The Lazy Elk. Fantastic location - Golden is a gateway to explore the Rockies.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home and property are absolutely beautiful. The pictures really don’t do it justice. Everything was very well maintained and super clean. It was also fully stocked with everything we needed and had so many thoughtful amenities, including a welcome gift. The hot tub and pool table were awesome. The owners were so gracious and helpful when we had any questions during our stay. Great location for outdoor activities and nearby fishing. We can’t say enough good things about this place and will definitely return.

My group of 6 adults used this as our base in the Canadian Rockies as we visited Yoho, Kootenay, Banff and Jasper National Parks in one trip (yes, it’s a bit of driving to hit all those places, but that didn’t bother us). Place was great…. clean and comfortable. Hot tub felt good after a long day of hiking, etc. Great stargazing on the deck as well. Charlie and Andy fantastic hosts too. Would definitely book it again.

Wonderful home. Out of the mix of the congestion of Banff. Owners have really thought through all of the details. Very comfortable. Excellent communication. Would definitely stay here again.

Had an AWESOME time at Lazy Elk for our Kicking Horse trip.

It's just as described, better even!Will hopefully be back.

This was the perfect property! The location from Golden is fantastic, and it is close to multiple local attractions. We had a hard time leaving to explore Golden as we loved the property that much! The house was beyond spacious and clean, so many activities and amenities provided, and it the lovely hosts were so easy to communicate with! We came for a girls weekend of hiking and hanging out in a hot tub, it was perfect for that. I would happily bring my whole family here as it is great for all ages. Thank you for an awesome weekend!

We had an amazing stay at the Lazy Elk! My only complaint is that I never saw an elk :), but the cabin was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and perfect for our family. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was outstanding, and we had everything that we needed. My adult kids especially enjoyed the brand new hot tub. We were able to visit Banff, Yoho, and Glacier National Parks easily from this location. If you are looking for a touristy town, then Golden may not be the place for you, but we enjoyed the small town feel. AND, we got fabulous bread (thanks to our hosts' recommendation) at a bakery/coffee shop called Ethos. We would definitely stay there again, and I highly recommend the Lazy Elk!

Very Clean, Quiet Area, Very Nice Hot Tub, All Amenities are very nice as well as the Alexa Controlled features. We will be booking again. It’s big enough that when just 4 of us stayed there that we could probably go a few hours without seeing anyone! Haha
