Cabin vacation rentals in Emerald Lake

This was one of the best getaways we’ve ever had. It’s like staying on the outskirts of heaven, from the beautiful pond stocked with healthy rainbow trout, views of the mountains all around you and showering outside with beautiful views is a great way to reenergize. The small cabin was perfect and very cute. It had everything we needed. Our cell phones didn’t make a sound for 3 days. This stay was exactly what we were looking for and we can’t wait to come back.

I had a wonderful long weekend at Mark & Marie's cabin. Mark and Marie were very responsive and helpful ahead of my arrival. The property was spotless and well stocked; they had everything I needed to cook out on the grill and had plenty of linens. There is a little convenience store about 5 minutes south that had ice, local veggies and lots of other non perishable food items. I stopped at the grocery store in Golden on my way to the cabin to stock up on most of what I needed and didn't have to leave the property once I got there. I was traveling with two dogs and they had a great time running on the trails and being out on the deck. The property is beautiful, cabin unique and made for a fun & adventurous stay. The fire place keeps the cabin very cozy, solar power was sufficient for me to get work done when needed, and my cell phone worked fine at the property so I didn't feel completely off the grid. I highly recommend staying at this property & hope to do so again.

we had a great stay with our kids and pup. It was an easy and relaxing trip!

Thank you so much for the fantastic space for our family to kick back and enjoy! Even with the gondola being down in kicking horse at the moment, we are glad we never changed our plans and kept our great reservation at the Smiley Wolf! The beds and space is very comfortable and the photos don’t even do as much justice as the actual place! Thanks again Ben and Vera!!

We had a fantastic stay at this property. Firstly, the views are surreal; like something out of a movie. Each morning, wed wake up to herds of either elk or deer grazing in the field below the mountain views. The marsh, across the field, was great for bird watching. The cabin-like home was very spacious, clean, cozy and all the necessary supplies - and more, were provided for our stay. The property is located perfectly; it’s just far enough into the wilderness to provide tranquility although still within a reasonable driving distance to the town of Golden. Les and Krys were fantastic hosts. They were very quick to respond to our questions and provided us with privacy. We will, without a doubt, be returning to this property for a vacation in the future.

Absolutely breathtaking slice of heaven! The fully fenced yard was perfect to let the pup roam while we enjoyed the hot tub and mountain views. Having well marked trails straight from the door that led to the river is exactly what you want in a beautiful place like this. 10 out of 10!

Great, clean place as our base for the weekend. Host was extremely helpful and easy to communicate with! Would highly recommend for a peaceful vacation.

Nice clean, private, peaceful place to stay.Everything was exactly as stated in the add.Provided towels, linens, plates, soaps and some condiments/spices that I forgot. They had firewood available for us to use as well. Awesome place to stay highly recommend to anyone looking to unplug !!

The cabin was amazing, exactly has described. Stef was very responsive. The view from the private deck off the bedroom was breathtaking and the private hot tub was perfect after hiking. Golden was very close so it was very easy to get groceries or supper. The access road was very well maintained. I cant say enough good things! Will definitely be back!!

We had a wonderful stay at Paola's place! Directions were clear and easy to find. The house is well-appointed with everything you need to settle in and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. We loved morning coffee on the deck and enjoyed the hot tub as it cooled off. The whole stay was a relaxing vacation within our vacation. We only wish we could have stayed longer! Would definitely recommend a stay here.

Amazing cabin in a beautiful location. It’s surrounded by mountains, a river and stars at night. Great location to travel to banff, yoho, kootenay, invermere etc. Great hosts as well. Definitely will visit again!

The cabin and surrounding area were amazing! Was so quiet, peaceful and relaxing. The cabin had everything we needed. There was so much wildlife to see from the large windows. So many deer just grazing on the property, was very cool to just sit and watch them go about. Richard was an excellent host and Watson was very adorable. Would 100% come back and stay again. Felt right at home in this cozy place. The town of Golden was great to explore and had so many great eateries and surrounding activities to stay busy.

Beautiful place in a peaceful location. The host was very friendly and responsive. My family and I really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely stay to recharge

Kaley and Martin were amazing and friendly people. They are very responsive too! The cabin we stayed at was exactly like the images and how I imagined it, and more. If you’re looking for a nice, quiet, cozy cabin I highly recommend!! Will definitely be coming back if I stay around the area again :)

The cabin was absolutely comfortable and clean. It’s very quiet and fresh in the trees. Snow was melting and making the experience even better resting while listening to the melting snow and birds’ chatting. We had a very good time here, very peaceful and relaxing. Love it!

Frances was super nice and helpful and reached out about a week before our trip. She let us know there was construction which might increase the time it takes to drive in which was helpful to know. She responded almost immediately when we had questions. The cabin was chilly on arrival but has two space heaters and a wood fireplace, with wood and fire starting supplies right out front on the front door on the deck. The cabin is only 10 minutes from town with great pubs and little cafes. The only thing I would be mindful of is if you plan to take trips to Banff or Yoho, which we had planned, the trip is much longer (around three hours) when highway 1 is closed. Not sure how long they plan to have construction there. Often times the highway opens up on the weekends though. So just make sure you plan accordingly!

It was a nice cabin.The surroundings are also quiet, so I recommend it to anyone who wants to relax!
