ONLY 9km from Golden! We left the city to be closer to nature and like minded folks who help us be our best every day! We found it in Golden, BC. Our three rentals are part of the Moonraker Mountain trail system. With over 100 km of biking, hiking, snowshoeing, and ski trails, you can enjoy amazing Canyon Creek views or swimming in warm spring fed lakes. Just step outside your door! The only problem is it can be difficult to pull yourself away from the simple stillness and connection you feel while just sitting at the treehouse or off grid cabins.

Blaeberry Cabin & Chalet :) Quaint!

2. Blaeberry Cabin & Chalet :) Quaint!

43km from Howse Pass National Historic Site · 2 sites

Authentic Rocky Mountain Retreat Near Golden, BC Nestled in a peaceful mountain valley along the Blaeberry River, the Blaeberry Chalet and Blaeberry Cabin offer a true escape from the noise and pace of modern life. Set on a private 11-acre forested property just 20 minutes from Golden, BC, these two unique, hand-built cabins were crafted by a former Swiss owner whose alpine heritage is reflected in the craftsmanship and character of the buildings. The larger Blaeberry Chalet is constructed from logs harvested directly from the property, while the smaller Blaeberry Cabin features beautifully rough-cut milled timber, giving each structure its own distinct personality. Both cabins exude an authentic Rocky Mountain pioneer-era atmosphere while offering modern conveniences to ensure a comfortable and relaxing stay. Here you'll find the kind of quiet that’s increasingly rare — star-filled night skies, fresh mountain air, mountain views, and the sounds of nature right outside your door. Wildlife sightings are common and may include deer, elk, eagles, and other native species. The Blaeberry River is less than a 1 km walk along a nearby trail, offering easy access to one of the valley’s most beautiful natural features. This property is the perfect basecamp for visitors wanting to disconnect from urban life and reconnect with nature while experiencing the spectacular scenery of British Columbia’s Rocky and Purcell mountain ranges. Whether you're visiting for adventure or relaxation, you'll experience the authentic rhythm of life in a rural BC mountain valley. Conveniently located near Golden, the property provides easy access to world-class outdoor adventures including: • Hiking in Yoho, Glacier, Kootenay, and Mount Revelstoke National Parks • Skiing and snowboarding at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort • Whitewater rafting on the Kicking Horse River • Wildlife viewing and photography • Backcountry skiing, touring, and mountain biking • Fishing, paddling, and endless outdoor exploration opportunities Whether you're seeking adventure or simply a peaceful retreat, these cabins provide a genuine Rocky Mountain experience in one of Canada’s most spectacular natural settings.

Weekend Trip to Moonraker Treehouse & Cabins

Me and a friend stayed in the fox hollow cabin and had an awesome experience! We had troubles getting up and even though Claire and Matt were out of town, they got a hold of their lovely neighbours who gave us a tremendously generous hand! Besides that the view from the front porch is gorgeous and the hut itself is so well kept and has absolutely everything you could need. Even despite the chilly weather we had a great experience.

Lovely isolated place, yet not too far from the town of Golden. Has most of what we need, and the instructions were super helpful. My wife and I enjoyed our stay so much and would definitely go again.

10/10 would recommend. Claire was great to communicate with and is clearly an experienced host based on the clarity of instructions and the little details included in the cabin to make the experience as smooth as possible. Amazing views from the roof, private space, and less than 10 minutes to Golden.

If you are looking for an amazing out of the ordinary and enjoy stargazing experience, this is the place to be, plus having Claire as your host is an A++. We got everything that we needed to spend a night at Eagle's nest, enjoyed board games, the view and the quiet of the nature. Simply outstanding!

Claire and Matt Eagle’s Nest was the perfect spot for us to rest on our way to the rockies for a backpacking trip! The cabin was tidy and well equipped, as well as being close to Goldens town centre. My favourite part was going to sleep and waking up to the mountain views and alpenglow! Thank you so much for hosting us!

Weekend Trip to Moonraker Treehouse & Cabins

We walked by all three of Claire’s sites and they all looked great. We stayed at the eagle’s nest which has a small deck above the patio which provides a beautiful view East over the valley. We were able to walk up to the canyon ridge trail directly from our cabin (even though our prairie navigation skills were freaking out!) and get a bit of a hike in before the rain started in harder. The trails are maintained by the local bike club, so that’s an added bonus. As a side note, however, be prepared for mosquitoes (absolutely ferocious!). We loved the cabin and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Highly recommended!

The cabin is really pretty, with all the amenities you can think of, that too in the middle of woods, well planned lighting among the trail, you can go on cabin’s roof to enjoy the mountains view. It’s one the best cabins I have ever stayed at. 200% recommended!!!
