This is a very special place. It is one of the most tranquil places I have ever stayed. The cabin was beautiful. Well appointed and cosy. We really enjoyed the bbq on our own private deck and the hot tub was amazing. It came at the perfect time in our trip to Canada. We just needed a bit of relaxation and calm in our busy trip and this accommodation was perfect. There is plenty to do in the area if you can force yourself away from the beautiful surroundings. Don’t hesitate, book it.

This was our second stay here and it did not disappoint. This time we stayed in the garden chalet. We love the peace and quiet here. The grounds and view are beautiful. The beds and couch are comfortable. The chalet was spacious and had everything we needed to celebrate an anniversary. We used the wood burning fireplace and hot tub. We brought some food to cook ourselves and also dined out in Golden. We would stay here again. Our only suggestions are to equip the chalet with basic spices and/or oil (if COVID rules allow) and to have more jets working in the hot tub. Also, we forgot to bring games such as cribbage and no games were in the chalet. The restaurant was not open.

Wow, this place is amazing! We rented the Green Lodge and the Mountain View Chalet for our mother's 90th birthday celebration. The chalets are stunning and the views are spectacular. The firepit and hot tubs were a huge hit as were the scenic trails. Young and old delighted in these spacious Chalets. Bedrooms are placed apart so snorers can't disturb, haha. Units are soundproof. Bathrooms/showers are great and the kitchens are beautiful. We could have used a few more glasses, cutlery and plates so they needn't be washed twice a day, but that was a minor inconvenience. Everyone in our group of 18 (4 generations) absolutely loved it! No kids complaining about being bored. Plenty for everyone to do. We also did family photos at the lookout on the trail. Views are incredible! What an amazing weekend we had! I can't wait to go back. I hope the restaurant reopens soon!…

We stayed at the Cedar house, cedar cabin, for 2 nights. We have never met the host and we are sure they are doing their best to maintain the place at its best, but we would like to share our experience. This cabin is situated just across the restaurant, so in non-covid times when the restaurant is open, there is gonna be a lot of fun to be in this cabin and also relax. We are staying in cabins and hotels in different places worldwide, from very basic to more upscaled places and we mostly care about cleanliness. The cabin was indeed clean and spacious, it has a separate bedroom and a living room area with a kitchen and a porch with a hot tub and a grill apparatus (we do not use these). The place has lots of labels everywhere dictating you every step of your stay: turn off the lights, take your trash out, use these towels, close these doors, don’t use that, use this etc. Also, one of the notes stated that property managers will come at unspecified time to check on your hot tub. It feels as the sole purpose of the guests is to destroy this place completely or if we are coming from a different planet, so we need some instructions how to operate. It creates an uncomfortable feeling that makes you aware of every single movement that you perform in that house. The rooms are outdated and need a touch to refresh the place. There is also a smell of old cooking oil, probably because the previous guests were not reading carefully the instructions and did not open all the windows in the house while turning off the air-conditioning standing on one leg and clapping 3 times. There is a TV that has only one channel (marketing or tv shopping). The towels are old and unpleasant to touch. In general, we do not think we will come again, although this place has a lot of potential. It could be that it is us and not the place. But we have never saw any mentioning of these facts, it was important to share, so the reader can make a decision regarding this place.…

If you are seeking a place to stay with spectacular mountain views and a little peace and quiet, the Cedar House Restaurant & Chalets is your place. We stayed in the Sunflower Chalet which is a very clean cablin with 2 bedrooms, large kitchen and living room with a great wood burning stove. We stayed during a major heatwave the hot tub turned into a welcomed cool pool. The air conditioning in the cablin was also very welcomed. The in cabin laundry would be perfect for longer stays. A great return visit.

Our three-night stay in the Adventure Cabin at the Cedar House Chalets was the perfect getaway for relaxation and exploration. Despite the frigid temperatures, the cabin was cozy and warm thanks to the wood stove. We had everything we needed to prepare our meals, and used the barbecue on the deck to grill steaks for dinner. The space was well laid out, the loft bed comfortable, with lots of room to spread out and relax. The hot tub struggled to hold its heat in the -25° temperatures, but it was still a treat to watch the stars from the tub on the private deck. The chalets are central to many adventures in Yoho Park, Banff, as well as Radium. Our stay was perfect in every way, and even our late night arrival was handled flawlessly. We can’t wait for our next visit!

Cedar House Chalets are a relaxing quiet getaway. We stayed in the Moiuntain View, it was wonderful, it has everything you need. The Chalets was very clean and spacious. Jannis was very friendly and helpful with booking my stay. There is a lot of options in Chalets sizes, to fit couples, families or groups. We will definitely return to stay again

We spent 3 nights at the Cedar House Restaurant & Chalets to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We stayed in the Adventure Chalet which offered great views from the hot tub and deck as well as the rustic charm inside the cabin. The cabin came with all you need to enjoy your time in the mountains. Highly recommend this place for a few days away.

We stayed at Cedar house to celebrate our anniversary August 16/2020 This property is spectacular The peace and quiet and tranquility was exactly what we were looking for nestled in the trees and the viewpoint with some thing that we sat and enjoyed For a long time Our cabin which was the garden chalet was neat and clean (and sanitized) the kitchen was well stocked We had all the amenities we could ask for including a barbecue and air conditioning (because it was hot) Our only recommendation to anyone who stays in this area is to make sure that you’re prepared for some mosquitoes if you’re out walking the grounds or taking a hike up the back mountain Highly recommend

Hi 1hayleyp, Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review! We are very happy you enjoyed your stayed and the amenities provided. Golden is beautiful , however, we do get mosquitoes during the summer. I hope that you saw the mosquito kit provided on your deck with coils, citronella candles, spray and afterbite. We hope to accommodate you in the near future. Thank you and have a great day, Alexis

We feel very mixed writing this review for Cedar House Chalets in Golden. There is much about the place, the cabins and the surrounding area that are wonderful, but sadly our experience was anything but wonderful. We stayed for five nights (we booked for six but left early) at the very end of July in the Adventure Cabin. This cabin is small and great for two people. The bed is a mattress on the floor under a low curved ceiling and up a short ladder, so there is definitely something adventurous about the place. Outside on the deck there is a great barbecue and hot tub (take bug spray and light the mosquito coils provided as the mosquitos are ferocious!). However, very sadly, we didn’t enjoy much of our stay there (and not because of the mosquitos). We chose Cedar House (and paid a premium in comparison with many other options we shortlisted) because we were sold on the promise of a quiet sanctuary marketed on the website. I quote the following: “The Cedar House is geared for peace and relaxation. Please refrain from playing loud music outdoors so it doesn’t interfere with the serenity of other guests. Any loud or disruptive behaviour will result in eviction from the premises without reimbursement of payment.” Unfortunately a peaceful sanctuary it was not. The first two nights were good. Quiet. Calm. The outdoor decking area felt very private despite its proximity to other cabins, and we really were in the romantic honeymoon / anniversary zone we expected having read other reviews prior to our arrival. But on the third night a large party of young people arrived, booking out The Green Lodge (a combined booking of the Sun Suite and The Green Chalet) just a few steps down from our cabin. This combined booking creates accommodation for fourteen people, and this fourteen were clearly on a mission to spend their time at Cedar House partying and drinking - from the moment they arrived to the moment they left. That’s three nights and two fulls days of loud music outside, beer pong, screaming and cheering games, chasing around the grounds, and all running late into the night. It was invasive and completely destroyed the natural beauty of such a wonderful retreat. On the first night we put in ear plugs and tried to sleep, hoping that Cedar House would enforce their own set rules. They didn’t. Day two it was worse. We rang the owner (who doesn’t live on site so we realised she had no idea what was going on). Sadly the owner was ineffective and nothing changed. On day three we spoke to the owner directly. She was defensive and said that the partying group were an AirBNB booking. She asked us what we expected her to do, that she couldn’t just kick them out. In short, she wasn’t remotely assertive or effective managing or dealing with the disruption, which for the record was also affecting those staying in another cabin nearby. In the end she did apologise and issued us a 10% refund on the cost of our stay and we left it at that, put our ear plugs back in and looked forward to our final night when the party would be leaving. How wrong we were. At check-in time the following day another large party arrived, screaming and shouting as they explored The Green Lodge and asking if they could play music outside. We couldn’t face another night of such frustrating disappointment so we packed up and left. Interestingly, on leaving at lunch we spoke to a local in Golden who knew the resort very well. They explained Cedar House has been a resort for for many years and told us that the current owners are new. They made it clear that nothing like this would have been allowed to happen under the previous owners. This suggested to us that the statement on the website about peace and quiet is a historic one and no longer applies. Later on that night we emailed the owner to let her know that we had left early and explain why. We also suggested that they amend their policy on their website to avoid an issue like this happening in the future. They didn’t respond to the email until we sent a follow up message a week later. I think that also says a lot about the new owners and their care for their property and their guests’ experiences. So based on our experience, go to Cedar House if you want to party with your friends. You’ll have an amazing time! It’s awesome. Do not go if you are looking for a quiet mountain retreat or a romantic getaway. We are left with such a bitter feeling after being cheated out of the much needed rest we were sold by Cedar House’s website.…
