The neighborhood
The Orange Door is located in a family neighbourhood steps away from a park. You ca walk downtown in 5 minutes along the Kicking Horse River. Golden is a great base for exploring the 6 National Parks in the area! In town, be sure to check out Kicking Horse Mountain Resort (say hi to Boo the Grizzly) and Golden Skybridge. Rafting the Kicking Horse River is a great time! You can also walk with wolves at Northern Lights Wolf Centre. 🐺 Downtown, be sure to grab a bite at one of the many delicious restaurants. Grab a pint at the Whitetooth Brewery or a signature cocktail at The Stolen Bell distillery and satisfy your taco cravings at Reposados, all on the same block! 🍻 Nearby sightseeing we’d recommend seeing Takkakaw Falls, Emerald Lake and Natural Bridge in Yoho National Park. Wapta Falls is worth the short hike as well. 👀 Banff National Park is 76 kms east. Definitely check out the Icefields Parkway between Banff and Jasper if you have time. Loads of stunning scenery and most are easily accessible. ⛰️ If you’d like more tips or suggestions, send us a message and we would be happy to help! 🙂

Great place and hosts! Wish I had another trip planned so I could stay here again! Definitely recommending it to all my friends!
Easy, comfortable, delightful, professional! We (group of mid-30's skiers with dogs) stayed for five nights, and absolutely loved it. The home is well equipped with comfortable furniture, is genuinely dog-friendly and HAD A BOOT DRYER. It was easy to deal with hanging jackets, helmets and leashes. It actually felt like home! We were especially impressed with the kitchen layout and ammenities. We like to cook together on these trips, and found all of the tools and bits that we needed, which is unusual in an airbnb. The bathrooms were also well stocked with things like emergency toothbrushes, q-tips and menstrual products - very thoughtful and unexpected. Bedrooms were comfortable, and I couldn't hear my friends snore. Doug was an amazing host, very easy to communicate with, and a genuinely friendly human. Many, many thanks to Doug & Karen for the excellent experience, we hope to stay with you again!
If you are considering booking this darling "Orange Door", 'DO IT!" The house, accommodations, and TONS of amenities made our trip to the Canadian Rockies perfect. Clean, comfortable, inviting- a perfect location to many National Parks and the new Skybridge park. Doug was wonderful, responsive and accommodating. Thank you!!
We had a great stay! Doug was very responsive to messages, which made communication easy and smooth. They kindly accepted our late checkout request and even offered early check-in, which we really appreciated. The front yard barbecue area was a lovely spot to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Would definitely recommend!
Doug's place was the perfect way to finish our family trip to the Rockies. The place was tastefully decorated with a modern and relaxing colour scheme that made is feel right at home. You can notice the pride Doug takes in this property as soon as you walk through the door. Doug was also very friendly. Reaching out after we checked in to make sure it went smoothly and wishing us well on the remainder of our trip the night before we left. Highly reccomend this place!!
Doug was a fabulous host! He went above and beyond to make our vacation great. We especially appreciated him picking up a few groceries to make our very late arrival better. Our flights were canceled and rebooked when I let Doug he said he could pick up items for us. That juicy orange at 2 am turned my attitude around. Very comfortable beds and space. We are very appreciative. We would definitely stay at Doug's place again. Golden is a gem.
Doug's place was great and just as advertised. Doug communicated throughout the process so we had no issues checking in or out. The place is perfect for a group traveling to the Canadian Rockies. It was comfortable, clean and I would recommend it highly!
A great place! A feeling of staying at a five stars hotel and being at home at the same time.
