Hawkes Hill is a peaceful country getaway 12 minutes south of Golden with spectacular views overlooking the Columbia River valley hosted by Bill since 2015. We're proud to say that our guests continue to review us as SuperHosts through all these years. Be wowed by our fully furnished, two bedroom self contained suite with a wrap-around deck and the million dollar view ... and no cleaning fee. The space Hawkes Hill is a fully equipped two bedroom suite adjacent to, but fully independent of, the owner’s home. The suite is full of sunlight and looks out over the Columbia River valley and the Purcell Mountains to the west and the Rockies to the east. Our guests tell us we have the million dollar view. To the north we overlook a wooded meadow perfect for cross country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter and easy walks or hiking during the rest of the year. The suite sleeps four comfortably. The master bedroom features a queen size bed. The second bedroom has two twins. (PLEASE SEE FEE NOTE BELOW.) A large spacious living area off the bedrooms and bathroom makes up the rest of the suite and combines a kitchen and sitting area with a wood stove. The kitchen is fully equipped with stove, fridge, microwave, dishes and utensils. Wi-Fi is available as well as satellite tv. Price listed is for two people using one bedroom. For a 3rd and 4th person, add $25/night per person each. PLEASE NOTE: our basic fee is calculated for two people sharing the same room. If two people wish to use both rooms for their comfort, please confirm with us before booking. Using both rooms increases our cleaning load and cost so we need to add a $25/stay fee to for two people using both bedrooms. Otherwise we do not charge a cleaning fee. Thanks. Minimum two night stay, however the constant feedback we receive from our guests is that they wished they had booked for at least three nights or more. Guest access Trails for hiking, cross country skiing and snowshoeing just outside the door and into the meadow. Hot tub. Beautiful deck overlooking our gardens and the valley below. Surrounded by five national parks and close to Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, we are situated in a breathtaking mountain wilderness only 3 hours from the Calgary International Airport. In the winter most guests are here to ski or board at the resort. In the summer, almost all of our guests will use Hawkes Hill as their home base to go off visiting all the sites like Lake Louise, Banff, Columbia Ice Fields, Emerald Lake etc. As well as the adventure playground outside our door, Golden is well known for an active arts scene featuring two dozen concerts of music, theatre and dance annually. On the Valentine's Day weekend, the Snow King & Lady Spring come into town for our annual MasqueParade outdoor pageant in Spirit Square. Throughout the summer, there are free mid-week concerts featuring touring festivals artists in Golden's Spirit Square. Check out Kicking Horse Culture online for more info. Other things to note Winter time and the wood stove: The Hawkes Hill suite is heated by electricity. The wood stove in the suite is available and we will provide you with enough wood to have one or two ‘romantic’ fires. If you do want more, please ask and consider a contribution of $20. We heat our main house with wood so our wood is delivered, stacked and budgeted for us to make it through the winter. We ask you not take wood from our stacks. We don’t want to run out. :) For liability insurance reasons, please do ask for help if you need help splitting your wood.
