    Nothing, it was perfect.

    Vagabond Lodge was an exceptional place to stay. It was in a fabulous location, spotlessly clean, lots of relaxing spaces to use and very tasty and fresh breakfast options. We went for our honeymoon and Ken and Lori made us so welcome and helped us plan many days out exploring this beautiful area, we will definitely be back!

    I do wish there were a later breakfast option or a longer breakfast period.

    Food was delicious, location was private, quite, and the rooms were really high quality. Staff and owners were so friendly.

    Just for the sake of answering this question; I couldn't find any non-sugar sweetener at the coffee/tea machine. [But I must say that I didn't ask - so it is likely it was available and I just didn't see it.....] Also would be nice if soft drinks were stocked for the guests.

    An exceptional place to stay in every respect; starting with the hosts Ken and Lori Chilibeck. They are in this business because they love sharing the beauty of the mountains and all of the outdoor activities in the region. Most importantly, they treat every guest as if they are a visitor to their home, which in essence the lodge is. One big happy home. At the same time, there is ample space and amenities to find your quiet Zen if you wish. Ken and Lori shared with us their story of how the lodge came to be, including their extensive input into the design process with the architect. Their combined effort reflects itself in the timeless beauty of the place; vaulted ceilings, open spaces, wood beams and floors, and personal mementos that tell a story and make a business into a home. As for the accommodations; the rooms are comfortable and clean, we appreciated the surprise origami animals made from towels on the bed each day, there are books to read all over the place, and it was quiet at night. There is a sauna, hot tub, and pool table. Large fireplace and bar (in ski season). The morning breakfast spread was fantastic! We drove every day of our stay to points as far away as Jasper to hike - the region is so gorgeous that four hours in the car each day went by in no time.

    A beautiful, clean, spacious house, with everything you need in the room and in the house to be comfortable. The hosts are very nice and very friendly, they have many recommendations for trips in the area and prepare a great breakfast. It is highly recommended to stay at this place

    Great lodge & terrific location at the resort (we were here in summer, but in winter it is ski-in ski-out). Ken & Lori were terrific hosts, and helped with lots of information about the Golden area. The breakfasts were also fantastic.

    This was an RnR trip for my wife who is a healthcare worker dealing with covid. So rest was the operative word. SE side of building had a beautiful view but lots of road noise. The people on the hill really like their loud pickups and minibikes. Had a regular pickup blow by at 5:30am. Breakfast has a pretty narrow window, 8-9am. So, we never tried it.

    Beautiful property, very clean , well appointed and decorated. Very nice bed.
