Welcome to Aurora House! Named after the Northern Lights, the house is stunningly appointed with beautiful lighting creating the perfect soothing sanctuary after an action packed day in the mountains.

Aurora House is one of the newest homes on the mountain, featuring the latest in mountain modern design and architecture. Wall-to-wall windows means the house is filled with natural light and gorgeous views of Columbia River Valley and Kicking Horse can be enjoyed from all parts of the house.

With 4000 square feet of living space spread over three floors, the house comfortably accommodates up to 16 guests (maximum 13 adults). The main floor has a living room, chef’s kitchen, huge deck, dining room, garage, laundry room and powder room. The kitchen features state of the art appliances including a Viking fridge, 6 burner Bertazzoni stove and Bosch dishwasher. From the dining room, access the deck that spans the width of the home where there is a grill and patio furniture.

The lower floor has 2 bedrooms, a full bathroom, media room, gas fireplace, wet bar and wine fridge and access to private 6 person hot tub. The two bedrooms each have queen beds and large closets. The media room features a giant projector screen with accent theatre lighting and surround sound. There are two large sofas that convert to double beds.

The upper floor has 3 bedrooms, small office nook, 2 bathrooms and a sitting room. The master bedroom suite is luxurious with a king bed looking out to the mountain through wall to wall windows, private deck, a giant walk-in closet, ensuite 4 piece bathroom. The second bedroom features a queen bed with large closet. The third bedroom features a bunk bed with two single bunks, large closet and a Juliet balcony. The bathroom is just off the entrance to the two bedrooms. The sitting area features a 48 inch flat screen TV and sofa that converts into a comfortable double bed.

The garage has racks for skis and snowboards and a boot dryer to ensure your boots, gloves and hats are ready to go for the next day.

Aurora House is conveniently located on Columbia Valley View Drive which means all amenities are a short walk/ski/ride away. The home is ski-in and the base area is easily accessed via an 180m walk to the ski trail. A “secret” trail at the back of the house allows guests to hightail it to Kicking Horse’s best spa or enjoy a top-notch dinner at Corks.

We arrived to the rental and found many of the towels smelly and unusable. We tried to wash them and found the washing machine was broken. We asked the host for assistance, and he did not respond for 8 hours. Finally, he wrote that we should look for an owners manual online and attempt to fix it ourselves.When we attempted to use the hot tub, we found it extremely low on water - below the jets. Again, when we reached out to the host for assistance, his response was that we should deal with the issue ourselves by calling the hot tub company. We called the next morning and the company sent someone to fix the spa at the end of the day. We were unable to use the spa for the first 2 days of our rental period. We do not feel that this is an issue that we should have had to work to remedy ourselves. We also chose the property in part based on this amenity and feel we were not offered what was promised. Because we were unable to use the spa for 2 nights, we asked for a partial refund and never heard back from the host on this request. We feel strongly that the service provided to us was unacceptable by VRBO standards. The host asked us to remedy issues ourselves and never checked in to see if we were satisfied. Despite terrible service from the host, we found the house and location suitable. We appreciated the kitchen being well-stocked with utensils and appliances for cooking for a group. With better service, our rating would be higher.

Wonderful Family Gathering/Vacation!

We had an amazing family vacation! Ages 3-91 and not a single complaint from any of us. The property was as advertised - clean, spacious and perfect for our group. Very refreshing to come to a place where the kitchen is so well equipped to cook for 12 without issue. Bathrooms clean and well stocked, beds were comfortable and property spacious enough to find a quiet corner or gather as a group. Short walk to park with the kids and short enough drives to other local attractions to keep us all busy.Excellent communication with hosts. If we meet again in Golden wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Great vacation house

Our group of 13 had an amazing stay! The location was quick to the ski hill. The house was stocked with all kitchen necessities. Linens were fresh and comfortable. The layout of the house worked great as the “teens” took over the basement. Would recommend this location 100%!

Lovely Mountain Side Retreat

The home is very spacious and well maintained. The owner has thought through many details and has abundantly equipped the house. All of the beds and furniture were comfortable and clean. The media room and smart functions throughout the house were impressive and easy to use, even for the older generations in our group. The owner was always responsive to our pre-stay communications. we had zero issues during our stay. It's a very lovely home. We would definitely stay in the home again.

Perfect Kicking Horse ski vacation!

Beautiful, clean, modern, CONVENIENT! Pretty much ski in/ ski out. Great views of the mountain. HOT, well maintained jacuzzi. And, to top it off, we had the best host I've experienced with VRBO/Airbnb. The first week of our vacation was spent in Revelstoke. On our way from Calgary to Revelstoke, we were stopped in Golden due to a highway closure on Roger's pass (avalanche mitigation). It was late and all of the hotels were booked. I called Gabe and asked if the Aurora House was booked that night. It was but he quickly went to work to find us a place to sleep for the night. He went above and beyond. The next time we come to Kicking Horse, we will DEFINITELY book the Aurora House!!

The place was a wonderful treat. We were fortunate enough to get a lot of snow. The management did a great job ensuring that we could all get out of the drive way safely. He got a snow removal company to come right away when we got stuck. It’s a lovely vacation rental and very modern.

One of the Best Places I've Stayed At

Kicking Horse is no modern cabin. Equipped with a generous amount of amenities, your friends and family will never lack entertainment! It was as if I was staying inside a futuristic house, given the technology and compatibility this place has to offer. On top of that, Gabe was a wonderful host, and provided detailed instructions from beginning to end. He made the overall process easier for us and my group and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone and WILL be coming back :)
