Cabin holiday rentals in Emerald Lake

This was one of the best rental properties we have ever stayed at. Extremely comfortable for 2 couples with loads of amenities. Anything we could have wanted, the property had. Not only was the view from the cabin stunning, the location was was the perfect home base for exploring Banff, Yoho and Glacier National Parks. Also only a few miles from the Golden Skybridge and adventure park. The hot tub and steam shower were added bonuses. Beds and linens were very comfortable. The town of Golden was just a quick drive down the road and had everything we needed from great restaurants (Eleven22, Red Tomato Pies, The Wolf's Den, Turning Point), to brew houses, and full grocery stores (hit up the Save-on-Foods over the IGA). We also had amazing luck during our stay and got to see the northern lights one evening - lifetime bucket list item checked off! We couldn't have asked for more from Wendy's property. Thanks a million for a truly memorable stay. We are already talking about visiting again!

Wonderful stay at the Smiley Wolf Cabin! The cabin was extremely clean, the beds were comfy and the towels & linens were great. The kitchen was well equipped. Ben was a friendly and responsive host. Do not hesitate to book your stay at this lovely place.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cabin in the woods. The view was absolutely breathtaking, truly one of the highlights of the trip. The host was incredibly helpful and responsive when we needed assistance, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The cabin itself is cozy, peaceful, and perfectly situated for a relaxing getaway in nature. We would absolutely return and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a serene retreat.

Cozy getaway cabin close to downtown Golden. Beautiful views from all areas in the home and hot tub. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

Stunning. Spacious and comfortable with everything you could need. The garden is large with beautiful mountain views. Julie was a great host with recommendations of local walks which was a great way to start our mornings. Winding down in the hot tub with fabulous views each evening was perfect. We hope to return!

We had a truly wonderful stay at Karen’s Airbnb. The home is cozy, beautifully maintained, and incredibly family-friendly—it had everything we needed and more. The backyard was a real highlight, with a stunning view of the mountains. As a meditator, I found it to be an especially peaceful space—my morning meditations there were incredibly deep and grounding. Karen was such a warm and sweet host. Her kindness, clear communication, and all the thoughtful touches around the home made us feel genuinely welcome. She was also very accommodating and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. This was the perfect mountain retreat for our little family, and we’d absolutely love to return someday. Highly recommend!

This cabin is even more beautiful than the pictures show! The mountains surrounding it are beautiful. It had more amenities and fun things to do than we were expecting. The house is in extremely good shape and very cozy. The deck is the only sketch part of the house. It probably should have been replaced 5 years ago. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and utensils. Over all it was an awesome place to spend the long weekend!

The cozy cabin is just like the listing - maybe better! The cabin is quiet, secluded and about a 20 minute drive into Golden. Golden is a quaint and growing town with great coffee, bakeries and local owned shops. We used the hot tub daily after hiking and taking in the views of Yoho and Glacier National Park. Loved our stay.

We had plans to travel to Lake Louise however deferred LL in lieu of spending the full day, as we (all 4) fell in love instantly on arrival to the cabin. The tranquility, with the horses in the adjacent paddock and the snow capped mountains in the distance…it was perfect. Everything in the house is well suited to a long stay, with well sized washer and dryer, full size fridge. The beds were super comfortable and the back deck got plenty of use. Restaurants and supermarkets a short 15minute drive away.

Katrin’s cabin was great. Small, but authentic. It would be hard to beat the location, 2 blocks from Banff Ave. This might be a strange thing to point out, but I am a stickler for a clean bathroom. The one in Fox cabin was obviously newly renovated and squeaky clean. Would recommend and if we have the good fortune to come back, this would be a go-to!

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?

Nice private cabin, close to Golden. Would definitely return.

Amazing place to stay if visiting Banff or the other parks in the area! Rick and Watson are great hosts and the space was very spacious and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun unique place to stay.

Great place. Surrounded by trees in a big property. If you are looking for a private location this is the spot. Spacious house with a complete kitchen. The bedrooms have comfortable beds with extra pillows and bed linens. Both upstairs rooms have skylights, so they get bright when the sun rises (make sure to pack an sleep mask). Our dog loved the deck and the surroundings. The communication with the host was great, fast replies and accurate instructions. Golden is an amazing place with lots to do. The house was what we were looking for: private and easy access to attractions in the area.

Very cute, clean, and cozy cabin! Saw some deer a few times, and the horses next door make the drive in very pretty. The area was quiet and private, but with Christina’s clear instructions it was easy to find. Would recommend staying here for your trips!

It was a great place with a friendly host, and we are very happy with our experience.

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!

The “Sanctuary” sign on the wall next to the door says it all. We had an amazing stay at Liza’s cabin. The location is amazing, so peaceful. We loved waking up with a view on surrounding trees and chirping birds (don’t forget to bring your sleep mask if you need darkness to sleep). The cabin has everything needed for a comfortable stay, Liza even thought of bear spray and mosquitoes repellent (the only downside of the location, lots of mosquitoes) and lovely decorations. The communication with Liza was always smooth and friendly. We would love to come again one day! Thank you for having us Liza.

What a fabulous place! I wish we were there longer. The picnic area is great with a place for a campfire and the patio with the bbq had great afternoon sun. A beautiful spot

If you are looking to escape the fast pace of life, this is the place to do it. Limited cell service, no TV - but instead surrounded by natural beauty of trees and mountains. This cabin had everything we needed, and the town of Golden was a short drive away. Our dogs absolutely loved roaming the property and we enjoyed the peaceful scenery. The hosts were extremely responsive and helpful. I would absolutely book this place again!

Very lovely cabin. Beautiful surroundings. private. Quiet. comfortable. cabin was well stocked. hottub was clean, big. Jackie was very good to us. She kept us informed, communicated well with email and texts. we were very happy to meet her in person and thank her before leaving so we could tell her how happy we were with our stay. Great location. close to suspension bridges and Adventure park, which we really enjoyed. we would definitely go back in a heartbeat, and highly recommend her cabin to everyone. very good experience from start to finish. thanks again Jackie 👍😍🎉

Stayed 3 nights and didn’t want to leave! Absolutely beautiful and peaceful property and surroundings. Mosquitos were a thing in the evening, but calm, sunny morning breakfasts on the porch were glorious. I super appreciated Kaley’s suggestion for a local cold creek dip! Would not hesitate to book this sweet cabin again next time I’m through Golden.

Had a very relaxing stay. The property is quiet, peaceful and the cabin was perfect for our quick stay.

Wow what a beautiful cabin. Exactly as described, maybe even better!! We had a truly relaxing weekend. The cabin is very private and is a perfect escape! Thank you Charlotte & Anne
