Huge, 2017 built home with 2 Master Bedrooms. Perfect for Large Groups up to 18

Welcome to the Himalaya. Built in 2017 mountain home at Kicking Horse Mountain resort. 4200 square feet of living space located in the prestigious Cedar Creek neighborhood. Heated floors throughout.
There are six spacious bedrooms. The upper floor has two large bedrooms with a king bed and a single bed in each room. Both bedrooms have large closets and ensuite bathrooms with vanity, large shower and toilet. Heated with baseboard heat. All bedrooms (except one) have large 50 inch flat screen TVs with satellite service for watching your favorite TV shows and movies. Both bedrooms have private staircases up to them and have balcony areas overlooking the kitchen/dining area and the bar/living room area.
The main floor has 2 bedrooms - each with a king bed, large closet and large 50 inch flatscreen TVs. Heated floors with dedicated controls. Right off both bedrooms are spacious bathrooms with large walk-in shower, vanity and linen closet.
Downstairs has two large bedrooms. One has a king bed and bunk bed with queen bed below and single XL bunk above and large closet. The second bedroom has a king bed and large 50" flatscreen TV. Both with heated floors and dedicated controls.
The main floor has two front entrances, a large deck that wraps around three sides of the home, two of which are covered and coat closets just off the front doors.
One side of the home features a huge sit up bar with stools and gigantic 75 in flatscreen TV with Satellite TV service, Bluray player and surround sound system. Two beverage chillers help keep both beer and wine at perfect temperature. There is a sink and dishwasher making it the perfect place for serving drinks and entertaining. Off the bar area is a sitting area with large sectional sofa with great view of the TV. Great for watching the big event. Providing the light to the area is an incredible wagon wheel chandelier with wine glass lights fixtures. Just off the area is a laundry room with high capacity washer and dryer. Heated floors.
The other side of the home has a large kitchen with large side by side refrigerator, dishwasher and a large sink. Fully equipped with everthing you could want to prepare a gourmet spread. A large sit up island had a large 4 burner stove with downdraft and large electric oven. Just off the kitchen is the large dining area with a 12 person table and chairs. Overhead is a beautiful wagon wheel chandelier with wine glass light fixtures. Heated floors.
Small appliances include microwave, food processor, electric kettle, popcorn machine, blenders (three throughout the home), gourmet espresso machine, french press coffee maker, drip pot coffee machine, coffee grinder, large and small crock pots, hand blender, rice cooker and large electric griddle. Full bar set both upstairs and downstairs allow for concocting the perfect apres ski libations.
Both the bar/living room and kitchen/dining area have doors leading out to the huge back deck that overlooks the Columbia River Valley and the Selkirk mountains. It has a large propane grill connected to the house propane so you never have to deal with propane tanks.
Downstairs is a large media and game room with large sitting sofa, 75 inch flatscreen with Satellite TV and Bluray player, Pool Table, fooseball table and wet bar. Just off of the room is also a large bathroom with shower tub, vanity and toilet and a mud room - perfect for storing you ski boots and ski wear after coming in from a long day of skiing. There is a large single car garage on the lower level as well. Just off the back entrance to the home is a large 8 person hot tub. Private and secluded with a great view over the valley. Perfect for relaxing those tired muscles after a long day of skiing. All rooms have heated floors.
This is the perfect home for a large group of couples, wedding parties, huge family reunion or a group of families coming up for a shared ski vacation (note we do NOT allow Bachelor or Bachelorette parties). Note we have NEST cameras at front and back entrances of the home which does encompass the hot tub area. No AC - there are only two homes at Kicking Horse that have AC. It is a ski area and generally does not require AC. We have fans in each room for those occasional summer hot spells.

This place is huge. Plenty of space for family and friends. Everything was clean upon arrival with detailed instructions. We had a power outage and needed some assistance after dinner and our host responded to me in less than a minute. So pleased with our stay. Thank you again!

Perfect for a Family Reunion
This was the perfect place for our family reunion. The space is nothing but luxury. We stayed in the summer, and although it was extremely hot (mid to high 30’s in Golden), we stayed comfortable, even though the house is not air conditioned. We made use of the hot tub, pool table, foosball table, sound system and the fancy coffee machine. All of these things worked flawlessly and were in good condition. We ate around the big table and gathered both inside and outside on the big deck. Very private. Highly recommended.

Wedding party
Overall, the house was great! We had 13 of us to celebrate my and my husband’s wedding. It fit everyone nicely and was very spacious. We were able to cook most of our meals which we loved and enjoy our time away in the mountains. We were there in the summer and was a warm 32 degrees and I did not realize the home doesn’t have AC. I understand you usually would not need it so I didn’t notice the listing didn’t say no AC. It was nice the home had many many fans to help though! Lastly, we were relying on the home stereo and unfortunately with the slow WiFi and the app required to use, it didn’t work for us. Either way we would book again if we were in the area!

Property is large and rooms as described. The cabin is older than advertised and we did notice some concerns. Stove top did not work properly, but we managed to use the bbq. Some minor fixes with a screwdriver would fix 90% of the issues we found. Besides obvious wear, had a great stay and would recommend to larger groups.

Fantastic Ski Stay!
Another great stay with Kicking Horse Vacation Rentals. The Himalaya was perfect for our group of 16. Access to the cross country ski trails and the upper parking lot of the resort was a breeze. The kids really liked being able to sled in the yard outside. House was appointed with everything we needed and was as advertised. Looking forward to staying with Gabriel and the team again soon!

Great PLace
This rental sleeps a lot of people, and the cleanliness, beds and amenities are all great! What is not clear from the pictures is that this house appears to be a conversion from a duplex. As such, there is not really any place for a larger group to hang out together, the upstairs TV/video area is blocked from view from the couch due to the bar height, there is only one small sofa in the basement rec area, etc. The dining table area is great however. Some of the amenities could use some TLC/replacement (Fooseball, Pool Table, kitchen utensils - not a big deal. Overall a nice place to stay, and sleep a lot of people in comfort. .

Wonderful experience
Gabriel's place looks great on photos, but it looks even better in person! We were there in Aug 2023 and had a great experience overall. The place was large enough to host the 18 (10 adults and 8 kids) of us comfortably. Entertainment options in the home was great and it was awesome that there was a printer too which helped us in taking print outs of the Canada Parks pass! Communication with the host was seamless! Would definitely recommend this place as a wonderful option to stay!
