Off-Grid Skoolie Retreat
Such a fun and unique stay! We loved it and the view outside the bus is stunning

Silver Linings Tiny House with Mountain View
Dustyn’s cabin is probably the best air bnb my wife and I have ever used. We were able to access multiple national parks within an hour or an hour and a half, which was our main reason for booking this place, but we ultimately really enjoyed the town of Golden. There are lots of restaurants and some cool shops in town. They have everything you’ll need to feel at home at the cabin and the views are beautiful especially from the fire pit. Do not hesitate to book!

The Lupin Chalet
We have been here for the second time and it was even nicer now. Alan and Elspeth put a lot of heart and soul into this chalet and are true superhosts. We appreciated the binder explaining things about the chalet and the area and a great overview of how to use bear spray and all the maps and information about the area.The kitchen is a joy to prepare meals. The chalet is spotless and comfy and has wonderful views. We love the quiet and Field and the surrounding area and would love to visit again.

The Timberline Romance
In a word - dreamy. A beautifully constructed and decorated log cabin on a spacious private property in the mountains with everything you could possibly need to enjoy your stay - a well maintained hot tub, fire pit, covered wraparound porch with lots of seating - not to mention the gorgeous interior with fully stocked kitchen, games, books, DVDs, extra blankets and cushions…Kaymin was an incredibly thoughtful host- very responsive, provided lots of suggestions for local activities and had a bottle of wine and charcuterie waiting for us when we arrived. Need I say more?

*New Build* A Timeless & Rustic Log Home in Golden
Wonderful experience in Golden! The home was very clean with beautiful craftsmanship and stocked with everything you could need. After long days of hikes and adventures, it was a great place to land. Hot tub, warm showers, comfortable beds and easy access to everything. Amanda and her husband Dave were extremely responsive to questions and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best stay possible. Highly recommend for both couples and families with ample space and activities. You will not regret staying at Spruce Hollow!

Wolf Cottage
The wolf cottage was great and exactly as described. The entire property is well maintained and the cabin itself has nice touches. Wendy had also provided a bear spray for use which I personally thought was pretty cool as we actually forgot ours. She also recommended a really cool hike which was amazing despite the rain. We also went to one of the recommended restaurants and the food there was amazing as well. Overall a great stay

Alpine Bliss | Premier Winter Getaway
Cozy stay with beautiful surroundings. No AC but they did provide fans

Bohemian Paradise Lodge (private hot tub)
Absolute gem ! It was more then expected. I really wish we booked for a longer stay. I can't say enough about the stunning view. Great to take in reading by the window or lounging on the patio or relaxing in the hot tub. I even had a little truck trouble on departure and they were quick to help out with was a delightful experience and would recommend a stay 100 %.
Your guide to Emerald Lake
intro
No glacial lake in Yoho National Park has earned quite as many fans as Emerald Lake, one of the most iconic sights in the Canadian Rockies. In fact, many park guests plan their visits to coincide with the snow melting off the surrounding mountain peaks — that’s when its enchanting turquoise waters appear the brightest. The credit goes to limestone for causing the vivid colors of the lake, which look especially luminous in the July sun. You can rent kayaks and canoes in the summer; in winter, the lake becomes a popular destination for cross-country skiers. Emerald Lake is one of more than 60 lakes and ponds in the national park, which has more majestic landscapes than you can shake a hiking stick at.
You’ll find chalets, guesthouse rentals, and the Yoho National Park Visitor Centre in the tiny community of Field, home to around 200 residents. Nearby, the hamlet of Lake Louise is known for its ski resort. Midway between Calgary and Emerald Lake, the destination town of Banff is a popular jumping-off point for exploring the surrounding Banff National Park.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Emerald Lake
Temperatures vary dramatically by elevation, so you’ll want to pack layers no matter the season. Emerald Lake’s surface stays frozen from around November to June, making summer and early fall the peak times for visiting Yoho National Park and the surrounding communities. July and August highs average around 73 degrees Fahrenheit and lows dip to the 40s, though snow still falls in higher altitudes even in summer.
Bring snow gear for the cooler months, when Yoho appeals to experienced winter recreationists. Average high temperatures decline from the 60s to the lower 40s Fahrenheit through early fall. Come November, average highs are below freezing. Keep in mind that many trails and roads in the park are closed during the winter months, when the park becomes a favorite venue for snowshoers and cross-country skiers.
Top things to do in Emerald Lake
Hiking
Hikers won’t quickly run out of trails in Yoho National Park, where summertime outings vary from accessible day hikes to more ambitious backcountry excursions. Several of the most scenic include a popular circuit that traces the shores of the lake. Check in with the visitor center to plan your trek.
Takakkaw Falls
Tumbling for more than 1,200 feet, Takakkaw Falls is the second-tallest waterfall in Canada. You can reach it by car on the twisty-turny Yoho Valley Road. For a view from above the falls, hike the strenuous Iceline Trail, which grants you stellar views of the rugged alpine landscape.
Burgess Shale
Paleontologists study fossils that date back more than 500 million years at Burgess Shale, an important scientific landmark that’s recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visits to one of the three fossil beds require advance reservations.
