Beautiful eco-building in the heart of the Rocky mountains. All modern amenities
Situated in the stunning Blaeberry Valley, 15 minutes drive from Golden, our Cordwood Chalet is the perfect getaway to peacefulness and tranquility in the heart of nature. Built almost a decade ago, its confines and location offers a wide range of outdoor activities. My partner and I have taken 6 years to build this little paradise. We have design and built the place entirely ourselves. We have tried to use as much ecological products as we could and we are proud to offer our guests a stunning surrounding environment. In the heart of the Rocky Mountains, Cordwood Chalet is on an 8 acres property. The surrounding neighbourhood consist of mostly acreages mountains and forest. Our crystal clear blaeberry river is minutes walk from the chalet where incredible views of the surrounding can be observe. Hiking, biking, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, downhill skiing, snowmobiling are few of several outings that can be done in the area. Our house is about 300 meters away from the Cordwood Chalet. The Chalet has its own driveway and is completely self-sufficient. We like to greet guests upon arrival. Although we respect their privacy, we are available for them at anytime for questions or comments. English ,French and Spanish is spoken

My fiance and I enjoyed our stay here. The owners were very approachable as well. The place is very beautiful, and you can see the love the owners have put on building it. Will definitely come back in the future.

One of the most beautiful vacation rentals we have been to.
The cabin is perfect and the location really great too. A perfect place to get some rest and disconnect from city life.

My husband and I spent our Babymoon here, and had an absolutely fantastic stay. The views were amazing, we birdwatched all day long. A quick trip into Golden for groceries and restaurants. It was easy to find even coming in later in the evening. Communication was amazing. Overall would stay again :)

The home is situated 20 minutes outside of Golden in a quiet, serene area. The home itself still feels brand new and was a perfect quiet base camp for our trip in Yoho. Host was communicative and helpful, 5 star stay!

We loved our weeklong stay at your chalet. The time and detail you put in to was amazing. It was great to have such a nice cozy place to come back to after long days of touring the area.
Thank you, Jack and Pat.

Came back in the summer and the place is great. Thanks to the unique design the temperature inside stays comfortable even during the hottest days. And the big patio is great in the summer!

This chalet is THE place to go if you want tranquility. Priscilla is an excellent host and she has all the information you need for a great stay. The chalet is beautiful and fully equipped. The area is just wonderful with mountains, trees, creeks, river and the occasional wildlife. We didn't want to leave.

This property is fantastic! It sits in the middle of raw mountain beauty! Waterfalls all around the location, deer come right into the yard, complete privacy! The cabin has everything you could need or want! Would stay here over and over!!

Thoroughly enjoyed the second trip to this amazing cabin in the mountains. Loved walking/biking every day in the area and sitting on the deck listening to all the birds. The cabin has been perfectly maintained and the host is always quick to respond. Great place to stay for a quiet, scenic, rural vacation.

Really enjoyed our time here! The chalet itself is a piece of architectural art and I found myself in awe of its many unique features - really cool. The location is perfect for an immersive nature retreat. And Priscilla was the best host and was easy to get a hold of if needed. Would highly recommend and will be back again. Thanks!

Priscilla and Johnathan built a beautiful chalet. We were looking for a place to escape our busy work life and found that here. It was clean, perfect size for two people, close enough to town and full of spots to hike/explore.
The hosts have great advise on where to go for hikes, and where not to go, listen to them :)

Great place to stay for an adult couple! Super cute cabin in the woods about 10 min outside of Golden. Very quiet and private location. Spacious living room with a wood stove which comes in handy in the winter. We'll equipped kitchen and a backyard BBQ. Priscilla was very responsive to any communication and check in was a breeze with all instructions you need inside the cabin. If we ever come back to Golden we would definitely stay here again!

This is a fantastic property in the Blaeberry valley close to Golden. A car is a necessity. If you’re looking for a brilliant property in peace and tranquility then this property is it. We saw two deer walk through the garden.
The owner Prescilla is very welcoming and helpful.

If you're looking for a place to get away from it all, this is it. If the sounds of birds singing and trees dancing in the mountain breezes are your thing, this is it. The chalet was the perfect getaway for us after three nights in Canmore/Banff. We were looking to dial back our interactions with humanity and just enjoy nature. We found what we were looking for. Isolated, but close to fun things such as whitewater rafting, the Golden Skybridge, Eagles Eye Restaurant at Kicking Horse Resort, etc. Prescilla was the perfect host and greeted us at check-in. The chalet was immaculate and wonderful. We would return in a heartbeat.

This place was so great, we tried to respect and leave everything as it was when we arrived. We didn’t get to meet Priscilla but her place is just wonderful. So peaceful and perfect for a couple. We were celebrating our 25th anniversary and this was the perfect hide away chalet.
One thing my wife wanted was maybe a privacy curtain in the bathroom window, but mountains and trees surrounded the place totally. Never saw anyone except a deer. Again just perfect..

Very peaceful and private you can tell the chalet was handmade with love by owners!! MOST enjoyable was seeing a black bear just outside the window one morning. Host was super helpful on tips on places to hike, where to get to supplies, and general tips on getting around. Be sure to check with host before your trip to verify when the Trans Canadian Highway will and will not be open. When we stayed it was closed daily between 10pm and 7am

This cabin is a “one of a kind” paradise. Lots of wood and stone skillfully strewn together to create a home away from home. Every window, doorframe and corner draws the eye. The kitchen is warm and functional, supplied with all the amenities as well as some basic spices. The loft bathroom with tub has a large window looking out into the woods. Two outdoor patios complement and expand the indoor space. A short drive to Thompson Falls trail.

You would not feel like you are traveling, you will feel like it is an extension of your home. I went in winter, the peaceful neighborhood that can be quiet without a sound at night, but the beautiful creeks during the day with the singing of birds remind you that you are surrounded by life. It was just perfect

Our stay at this quaint Chalet nestled in the heart of the Canadian Rockies was one of the best experiences we've had. One can see that this place was thought out and built with beauty and relaxation in mind. The owners' attention to detail is very evident...the window views, kitchen, living room with a cozy woodstove were all little details that we enjoyed. Would love to stay here again sometime. Also I do have to add that the owner Priscilla was very understanding and helpful with whatever we needed, even with an embarrassing mistake that I had made on my part. Thank you again.

This chalet is nestled in the trees with stunning mountain views all around. We did take a walk on one of the trails and it was perfect. I will definitely be back.
