About this house rental
Welcome to The Lazy Elk — your own private 3,500 sq. ft. log mountain lodge, set among 16 peaceful acres of woodland with spectacular, unobstructed mountain views.
Made for memorable escapes with family and friends, there’s space to explore outside and unwind inside — from private walking and snowshoe trails to our exceptional 8-person hot tub, games room and spacious log-framed living areas.
Adventure all day in the mountains, then come home to your own private lodge in the woods.
The space
There’s plenty to explore without even leaving the property, with private walking and snowshoe trails winding through the woods. Venture a little further and you’ll find endless opportunities for adventure in every season — from skiing and snowboarding to snowmobiling, hiking, biking and exploring the Canadian Rockies.
After a day in the mountains, come home to your own private lodge in the woods. Soak under the stars in our exceptional 8-person Beachcomber hot tub, challenge the family to a game of pool, warm up by the fire, or simply settle in and enjoy the peace, space and mountain views.
Highlights:
• Private woodland with walking and snowshoe trails straight from the lodge
• Exceptional 8-person Beachcomber hot tub with spectacular mountain views
• Four comfortable bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms — plenty of space for families and groups of up to 8
• Spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas for time together
• 75" TV with various streaming services subscribed; 42" TV in games room
• Large games room with pool table and wood stove
• Large deck and outdoor spaces surrounded by nature
• Family and dog friendly, with plenty of room to play and explore
• Peaceful and private, yet just 10-15 minutes from downtown Golden
A perfect base for year-round adventure
In winter, spend your days skiing or riding at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, less than 30 minutes away, or head out snowmobiling — the renowned Quartz Creek riding area is around 30 minutes away, with plenty more options throughout the surrounding mountains.
You can also step straight outside the lodge to explore our own snowy woodland trails. Then come home, sink into the hot tub beneath a star-filled sky, warm up by the fire and settle in for a cozy evening together. You don’t need to ski or sled every day to experience winter here — sometimes the best days are simply spent enjoying the snow, the silence and having your own little piece of the mountains to yourselves.
In summer, the surrounding mountains become a playground for hiking, biking, rafting, paddling and exploring the six nearby national parks — or simply slow down, enjoy the wildlife and soak up the peace of the Blaeberry Valley.
Whether you come for the adventures or simply to escape somewhere beautiful with the people you love, The Lazy Elk is more than somewhere to sleep at the end of the day — it’s part of the experience.
Guest access
Guests have access to the entire lodge including an attached private garage for one car and another outdoor covered space under a pole-barn for 2 more vehicles. The driveway also has plenty of space for additional cars. The lodge is nestled in the Blaeberry valley, 15 minutes from town, so travel by car is essential.
Other things to note
Staying with us is good for the environment!
We love this beautiful corner of the world and want to do our part to protect it.
The Lazy Elk is powered by clean, renewable energy, and we’ve invested significantly in reducing the environmental impact of the lodge — including moving away from fossil-fuel heating; continually improving its energy efficiency and offering free EV charging for our guests.
We also support projects that protect and restore natural habitats, helping to offset the impact of every stay with us.
Our aim is simple: to make your stay at The Lazy Elk not only an unforgettable one, but a little better for the planet too.

My family and I (3 couples and a 5 year old) stayed for our vacation. Prior to arrival I had a check in message from the host couple with all details. Upon arrival we had a thoughtful welcome gift packed with a few local goodies. The house is packed with convenient smart home features if you choose to utilize them; if not it won’t affect your stay! The deck had a hot tub and living room had a huge window; both with a beautiful view of the mountains. In the living room there is a chest of board & card games for all walks of life (Crazy 8s, Scrabble, etc). The kitchen was clean and stocked with fun gadgets like a French press! They had an artistic book for guests to draw/color which was fun to see! The bedrooms are clean with their own thermostat, comfortable bed & extra pillows! The downstairs had a pool table and TV, where we spent a lot of our time hanging out. you could see from the living room. The bathrooms were very clean and even had a little basket of things you may have forgotten. Our host/hostess were extremely responsive to our messages and even warned us of a bear that was on the outskirts of the property. There helpful info cards throughout the house, such as how to use the fireplace. The check in and check out process was smooth and simple; it felt more like tidying your own home vs a list of chores. There are so many wonderful things about the home to list! The biggest complaint we had were the mosquitoes outside but the hosts had bug thermacells throughout!!

I have traveled a lot and stayed at many places, but I've never experienced hospitality as excellent as that from Andy and Charlie! Not only did they leave us a kitchen full of homemade goodies and souvenirs, but they added in small, little touches all throughout the home too!A basket in the kitchen complete with bug sprays, bear spray, mosquito repellents, maps, restaurant suggestions, etc. And a basket in each bathroom with multiple types of shaving creams, sewing kits, sanitary items, etc. There were notes everywhere explaining how to use Alexa (who my teen boys thought was hilarious to get stuck on fart songs), how to use the hot tub, how to wash the towels....I didn't have to ask them a single question because they'd thought of it all! This was so refreshing!Now...the home itself is spectacular! I can't even begin to describe the character. It's in every nook and cranny. My musically talented kids absolutely loved the guitar, ukulele, and piano and kept us entertained each night. There is a view of the ginormous mountain from every room! One evening we had a huge double rainbow above the mountain while we were sitting in the hot tub. I mean, you can't get anything better than that.It was a very quick drive into Golden and even faster to the Skywalk. We stayed 4 days in Golden and then headed over to Banff. We all agreed that we wish we'd just extended our stay the entire time at Lazy Elk. Plenty of space, beautiful view, every amenity....book it today!

Everything about this stay was great. The ease and atmosphere were great. It was the perfect home away from home. Would highly recommend.
