Spectacular mountain views in beautiful log chalet

Surrounded by picturesque 360 mountain views, Palumbo Skies Lodge is your answer for a relaxing vacation away. Located only 20 minutes from downtown Golden, the cabin is equipped with a hot tub, pool table, mini-bar, board games, hammoc swings and a large fire pit with 10 Muskoka chairs. The 2400 sq ft cabin has 2 bedrooms (a master bedroom loft and guest bedroom on the main floor) and open concept queen custom-made bunk beds in the downstairs rec room. A wraparound porch surrounds the lodge complete with Muskoka chairs and BBQ.

The space
The lodge is a great set up for families and groups of friends.

The main bedroom with ensuite is located on the open concept loft, where you will wake up from your king-sized bed to the spectacular views out the large main windows.

Second bedroom is a private queen bedroom located on the main floor, which shares the full bathroom with the main floor.

The finished basement has a rec room with a pool table, small bar set up and custom queen bunk beds (3 queen beds- one set of bunk beds + queen bed at the head end of the bunk). Another full bathroom is located on the basement level, and includes a washing machine and dryer.

The galley style kitchen includes a three seat breakfast bar that opens onto a large dining and living room area. Our custom made 9ft dining table comfortably seats 8-10 people. This area is great for entertaining, playing games and catching up with family and friends.

The large wrap around deck is located off the living room and looks over the Columbia river and mountains from a distance. The covered hot tub is accessible from the upper deck - a wonderful spot to sit back, relax and enjoy the fresh mountain air.

Guests with small children will find a crib and rocking chair (located in the master bedroom loft), as well as our high chair, inflatable changing mat, and plastic dishes/cutlery. A small selection of children’s toys and books are also available.

Guest access
Guests have access to the entire property. We have a locked storage room and some locked cabinets that hold our supplies, equipment, and personal belongings that guests will not have access to. Apart from that, the whole property is yours to enjoy.

Other things to note
***Please ensure you've read this section before booking.

It's important for us to manage our guest's expectations before they book our Airbnb. We truly want nothing more than for our guests to have a relaxing and stress-free holiday. That being said, we want to be upfront with our guests that there are sometimes limitations as to what we can do to rectify issues. The cabin is located in a rural environment, and the town of Golden has a limited amount of services and tradespeople available to repair issues.

Weather:
Given our rural location, the weather can have a major impact on the cabin's surroundings. In the winter months our driveway is regularly plowed. If for some reason the driveway is not plowed, please let us know and we will get in touch with our contractor ASAP. Please ensure your vehicle has 4 wheel drive or All Wheel Drive as the driveway can be icy depending on the weather cycles. Unfortunately the plow does not clear the entrance pathway - there are shovels and sand available at the entrance for safeguarding the pathways.
In the summer months, there may be mosquitoes, moths, flies, bats, deer, wolves and/or bears - this is all part of the typical Canadian Rockies experience. We do have a mosquito magnet set up on our property and we make every attempt to keep our lawn cut to help manage bug populations. Please do not leave food or drinks outside as these may attract wildlife.

Before you book:
Ensure your profile is completed with a write up and a picture and be prepared to tell us about the guests who will be staying with you. If you do not have existing Airbnb references, we may ask for personal character references.

Issues with the cabin:
If there is an issue with the cabin during your stay, we will always attempt to address and fix the problem as quickly as possible and to the best of our ability. We will ensure you are kept up to date on when this issue may be resolved.

Damages:
Please report any damage or broken items so that we may ensure everything is in working order for our next guests. Depending on the damage, we may need to make a claim through Airbnb.

Connectivity:
A Cell phone Booster has been installed in the lodge to help guests stay connected. We do not have a landline phone.

We have unlimited high-speed internet through Starlink.

Entertainment:
A projector and screen, TV, Nintendo and DVD player, as well as small collection of DVDs and games are available in the lower level rec room. There is no cable.

Quiet Time policy
Out of respect for our neighbours, Quiet Time is between 11pm and 7am. During this time, please keep music low and be mindful of noise when outside on the deck or in the hot tub.

SECURITY CAMERAS: We have several external cameras to protect our property as our chalet is in a remote area. We only monitor the number of guests entering the property and monitor for security when it is unoccupied. It is surrounded by forest and bears visit the property, so these measures are necessary to protect the chalet. THERE ARE NO CAMERAS INDOORS OR IN VIEW OF THE HOT TUB. We do not record or listen to sound. Your privacy is assured! Cameras are located in the following places:
1. Parking area (located on a tree and pointed towards the driveway)
2. Front entrance (above door, looking down the stairs)
3. Under the deck looking out at patio
4. Under deck looking at under deck storage area
5. Top deck (near BBQ) looking out at side entrance/firepit area

We also have two Ring doorbells at the front and side doors. These do automatically record sound when you ring the doorbell so that guests can talk to me, but only in the immediate vicinity of the doorbell.

As a guest of Spectacular mountain views in beautiful log chalet, you'll find a hot tub, barbecue grills, and an arcade/games room. The family-friendly Spectacular mountain views in beautiful log chalet also features a garden and laundry facilities. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Golden chalet is smoke free.
