And Finally - Staying with us is good for the environment!

While we appreciate this isn't everyone's priority, we recognise that tourism can be quite a carbon-intensive industry, and it's important to us that we do our best to reduce the impact we have on the environment, including everything that goes into running the Lodge; renting our home out and the inevitable impact of the journeys our guests make to come and stay here.

We want to do this without impacting anyone's experience of staying with us. In 2022, in addition to reducing our overall footprint through the use of renewable fuels; we pro-actively invested in the planting of mangrove and boreal forest trees in order to make the impact of renting of our home climate positive (carbon negative). We'll continue to do this and make further improvements where we can.
During your stay at this holiday home, you'll be within walking distance of Northern Lights Wildlife Wolf Center. You'll find features such as a gym, 1 hot tub and an arcade/games room. The holiday home offers free WiFi and a kitchen.

Wow 10/10 Beyond our expectations!
This was the perfect property! The location from Golden is fantastic, and it is close to multiple local attractions. We had a hard time leaving to explore Golden as we loved the property that much! The house was beyond spacious and clean, so many activities and amenities provided, and it the lovely hosts were so easy to communicate with! We came for a girls weekend of hiking and hanging out in a hot tub, it was perfect for that. I would happily bring my whole family here as it is great for all ages. Thank you for an awesome weekend!

Fabulous cabin!
We had an amazing stay at the Lazy Elk! My only complaint is that I never saw an elk :), but the cabin was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and perfect for our family. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was outstanding, and we had everything that we needed. My adult kids especially enjoyed the brand new hot tub. We were able to visit Banff, Yoho, and Glacier National Parks easily from this location. If you are looking for a touristy town, then Golden may not be the place for you, but we enjoyed the small town feel. AND, we got fabulous bread (thanks to our hosts' recommendation) at a bakery/coffee shop called Ethos. We would definitely stay there again, and I highly recommend the Lazy Elk!

Very Large Lodge in Good Location
Very Clean, Quiet Area, Very Nice Hot Tub, All Amenities are very nice as well as the Alexa Controlled features. We will be booking again. It’s big enough that when just 4 of us stayed there that we could probably go a few hours without seeing anyone! Haha

A Precious Haven at Lazy Elk Cabin
We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Lazy Elk Cabin through VRBO, and we couldn't be more delighted with our experience. This charming cabin provided everything we needed and more for a truly memorable getaway. The cabin itself was not only aesthetically pleasing but also thoughtfully equipped with all the amenities one could wish for. It was a precious haven that allowed us to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life while simultaneously reconnecting as a family. The cozy atmosphere and well-designed layout contributed to a sense of comfort and relaxation throughout our stay. A highlight of our visit was the warm welcome we received from the hosts. They greeted us with a delightful welcome kit that added a personal touch to our arrival. These thoughtful gestures truly made a difference and set the tone for a fantastic stay. In summary, our time at Lazy Elk Cabin has been the best stay for us thus far. We highly recommend this cabin to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat with all the comforts of home. A heartfelt thank you to the hosts for creating such a special and memorable experience for our family. Gerry & Olga
