We had a cozy stay for 3 nights. Lodge is lovely, and the great room/ common area is terrific for relaxing, eating your own snacks, playing cards or reading about the area in front of the fireplace. 24/7 hot beverages is a wonderful touch, with microwave and sink, tables and chairs available for use. We loved all of that. Be aware: the rooms are cozy and somewhat small, and absolutely not soundproof in the part we stayed in. However, we laughed this off because the location and price and overall vibe of the place was perfect for our needs. (Ear plugs are provided along with soaps and hand cream) Beds were comfy, staff was lovely, and the self check-in if done in advance, made the whole experience easy and positive. Would totally stay here again- the price was right for us.

We’ve been enjoying our stay here and find the setting quite pleasant. However, our experience was unfortunately disrupted when a neighbor knocked on our door to complain that we were being too loud after 10 PM. The only noise was one excited sentence my son spoke before going to bed, as he was thrilled to be here. We were otherwise careful to speak in lower-than-normal voices, and he was asleep by 10:30 PM. Additionally, we used headphones all evening while using the computer to minimize any disturbance. Unfortunately, my son was so frightened by the confrontation that he couldn’t sleep afterward. He’s now too scared to speak, worried that a stranger might knock on the door again. It would have been much better if any complaints could have been communicated by the staff, rather than having a stranger knock on our door directly. This experience was not child-friendly, and I’m deeply disappointed as it completely ruined our night.

I’ve been a fan of the basecamp properties for a while now and in my opinion this one I wasn’t the biggest fan of. It’s an amazing hotel don’t get me wrong but compared to the others it’s just on the lower level. Due to its wood construction the walls are quite thin so it’s easy to hear the rooms next to you clearly. The floors and walls also speak like crazy when someone is moving both in and around the outside of the suite. Now the hotels proximity to kicking horse mountain resort is fantastic and the town is a quick 7-10 min walk away so it makes for a great location within the town of Golden. Also it should be noted that the property doesn’t have any camera surveillance for the parking lots as I found out when I became a victim of a hit & run. Just be careful where you park and ensure you lock your doors if you choose to stay here. And before I forget the staff were absolutely fantastic and did everything they could for me! Definitely 10/10 service!

2nd visit to Basecamp Lodge Golden. Still love the simple beauty of this unique find. Sitting in an overstuffed chair with a blanket and a cup of tea in front of the wood burning central fire place, lit Christmas tree and large windows into the winter night sky is a great way to end the day.
