Beautiful eco-building in the heart of the Rocky mountains

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. Newly built and comfy, its 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 build 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 lot. 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. It has its own driveway and is completely self-sufficient. Guests are greeting upon arrival and we are available for them at anytime for questions or comments. English ,French and Spanish is spoken

Immaculate Chalet
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..

Peace in the Valley
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.

Back woods paradise
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.

Black bear right outside our window
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

Back for a second time
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.

Beautiful retreat in nature
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!

Best Experience in my life
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

Peaceful Chalet
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.

Amazing cabin in the woods!
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!

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 :)

Cozy and Peaceful Get-a-way
We really enjoyed our 2 night stay in this cozy and peaceful cabin in the woods. The cabin is so unique and you can really tell that the owners put lots of love and work into making it a special place to visit. The hosts were very accommodating and easy to get in touch with for any needs or questions that come up. Kitchen is well equipped and clean. Bed and bedding very comfortable. En suite bathroom in the loft is so lovely for relaxing with amazing wilderness and mountain views. Lots of cute personal touches and a lovely display of photos from the construction of the cabin on the wall which we enjoyed. Lots of trails and things to do nearby. Ample parking if needed. Would recommend this cabin to others and would return again if visiting the area. Thank you for the comfortable and unique stay!

I have stayed in many VRBO's and this one is one I will never forget. The place is absolutely charming and I could not more highly recommend staying there. This is the first property at which I have stayed that I actually sent photos of the property to my family and friends... and we have stayed at some excellent properties. It is unique and stunning. You will not be disappointed.

The owners were very thorough and organized and quick to respond to questions. The location was perfect for hiking, taking some cold amazing swims, shopping the golden strip, and eating some amazing food both in golden and made at the chalet!

Peaceful getaway
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Cordwood Chalet in a peaceful rural location surrounded by trees at the foot of a mountain. The cabin was awesome - well-proportioned and beautifully built and decorated. Priscilla was an excellent host and went over the handy map with me showing walks I could do near the property. It was great to be able to hike and bike without having to get in the car and drive somewhere. Made the 20 minute drive into Golden only one day to play disc golf and bike the riverside pathways.
