Cabin vacation rentals in Columbia-Shuswap

I stay at a lot of Airbnb's and always try to find unique and memorable spots. Just when I think I've found the best hidden gems a place like Shaun's comes along and blows the bar way out of the water. Every touch and detail was thought out with care. The surroundings speak for themselves but the space Shaun has created is outstanding. And Shaun himself is so friendly and hospitable, was able to borrow some milk for my coffee in the morning and he had it over in a flash. The cabin itself was quaint but clean and functional with much of the focus being on the large private deck. All the shared spaces have everything you need and create a great way to mingle with other guests. I got to have a chat with a very nice man who was visiting on a fishing trip and was cooking his catch of the day on the fire, he then later brought me a plate of my own, what a special experience. By far my favourite Airbnb to date. Will always make a point to stay here when I can. 10/10

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 loved our stay, would not hesitate to be back!

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 !!

A beautiful location for a family getaway to spend the Thanksgiving weekend! Space and room for everyone and a large deck to enjoy! A well stocked kitchen and lots of extra touches to make the stay comfortable and welcoming! We loved being right on the water for kayaking and we did a couple local hikes too! Barbara was very communicative!

We had an amazing stay at Tina & Steve’s beautiful home! The space was even better than we expected — super clean, cozy, and stocked with everything we needed for a perfect getaway. The beds were really comfortable, the decor was charming, and the backyard was a peaceful spot to hang out. Tina & Steve were incredibly welcoming and made everything so easy for us from start to finish. You can tell they truly care about making sure their guests have a great experience. My friends and I are already talking about coming back — we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommend!!

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.

Mountain views at this cabin were amazing. Steps away from a beautiful river. Very peaceful. The hosts were very responsive. We would definitely go back.

Nice place to stay for a night or a weekend

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!

Possibly the most beautiful place we have ever been and stayed. Mists rising from the mountains and rainbows every morning in the golden light. Hiking trails right out of the cabin door to mountain springs and pools. We would live in this area!

Great cabin for a getaway with the views of the mountains. Bed was really comfy and the firepit was great to wind down the night to. Short distance to Golden to pick anything up in town.

We had a great stay at Mercy's cabin. We came for the weekend to visit family with our 2 children. They were kind to install a baby gate at the top of the stairs for us, as our two year old can be a little wild 🙃. Tons of extra blankets in the cabin. We couldn't find extra pillows, but we took them from the bunk house which we did not utilize. You will have everything you need here and feel right at home! The hot tub was also fantastic and relaxing! Thanks for a great stay, I am sure we will be back!

The host was very accommodating and very communicative. It was a great experience and it's very clean.

The cabin was a cozy, peaceful experience nestled in the woods. It was a wonderful getaway surrounded by a beautiful setting. The cabin was clean, comfortable and I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a forest stay in Blind Bay.

Duane is a 5 star host! it was a perfect stay, i will come back everytime im in Golden!

Felt comfortable and wouldn’t change a thing. The cabin was a highlight of our trip. You could sense how much effort it took to make the stay perfect for the guests. We were happy to be part of Golden and thankful for such a great host and cabin.

This cabin was exactly I needed. I loved how private and secluded it was. I travel quite regularly and I do mostly stays in cabins like Luise's. But Louise's cabin was by far the most cosiest one. I loved that there was a plenty of firewood outside ( I got to practise my choppin skills with an axe) :D And had the possibility to have an outdoor fire under the stars. I did appreciated that there was no wifi or reception, which helped me to disconnect with the outside world and enjoy ME time by the fire and read a book. I hope I stick around as I would love to come back for a longer weekend. Thank you Louise
