The room did not have a chair, only a king bed. The room had a faint odor stale sweat - some people don't need a gym for a good work out... Bathroom had hastily repaired drywall damage. Not impressed considering the cost of the room.

The walking path out front

Friendly and super helpful check in staff. The hotel was clean and had lots of log cabin character. Highly recommend!

A fantastic & quiet location with great views! The bijou room had everything we needed for our one night stay and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and suggested a couple of cafes within a short walk to get breakfast. Downtown Golden is only 15 minutes walk.

While the facility is lovely, clean and well-kept, there was quite a bit of noise transfer from the room above us. The bed was very comfortable. The location is a bit out of the way. One suggestion would be to reduce the number of emails and texts they send!

Great place but missed a good cup of coffee. Machine too complicated and only hot water and tea in the living room. Other than that, it is a great place.

Loved our stay!

Ann at the reception desk was outstanding!

A nice place to stay. It was early in the season and things weren't really cleaned up. The room was a bit small, but the view was amazing and the staff was very friendly.

still under construction.

There are so many things about this property that made it unique. This isn't just a place to lay your head, it was a comfy, homey place that was so welcoming. What I first noticed when I walked in the door to check in, were the little seating alcoves where people could relax, read a boo, or just look at the beautiful scenery. The room, albeit small was clean and well appointed. A wonderful place to unwind after 9 hours of driving for sure.

The views were fantastic . The lobby very welcoming . Staff extremely attentive and price reasonable . Many simple added touches such as housecoats and slippers blankets to sit on back deck with. Fresh water in mini fridge. Tye list goes on and on. Would stay again for sure

Very lovely lodge. Log cabin feel. Tremendous view of the river and the mountains. We would stay on the first floor next time, only because we are older and have arthritis, making stairs a bit of a problem.

Great spot! Would visit again

Don’t be fooled by the location you have to drive through an industrial area but once you get to the lodge it’s over looking the river very peaceful and quiet. You’re only 5 minutes from downtown Golden. Very friendly staff they went above and beyond of being helpful. Our room was a bit small but very clean bedding and towels were new . The lobby was spotless. I would highly recommend the Lodge a Lantern!

The property overlooks the river and mountains which we enjoyed. It was close to restaurants and shopping. The staff was so helpful and friendly. We felt really taken care of. There was a wood burning fireplace in the lobby which we enjoyed as the evenings were cool and the sofas were very comfortable. Spencer is the new owner and has great pride in taking care of his guests. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean and the room was quiet. There is free parking as well. We stayed 2 nights and would return if we found ourselves in Golden again. Thank you for a great stay.

A very well designed and comfortable place to stay. Not just the room, the lounge area is very beautiful and comfy. And the front desk is quite nice and friendly. BTW, the mountain is great if the weather is good.

From the seamless online check-in and check-out process, I already had a great first impression. The front desk staff was also exceptionally friendly and welcoming. They should take new photo bc room and hotels looks a lot better than the pictures they posted. And we know that's very rare. As a mom traveling with a child who is extremely sensitive to cleanliness, I can say this with confidence: trust me — the room and bathroom were cleaner than many 5-star hotels I’ve stayed in Canada. Everything felt spotless and very well maintained. The amenities were thoughtfully selected with only the essentials, but that’s exactly what made them feel so practical. Little details like charging ports and multi-outlet access showed that they really understand what travelers actually need. The lobby was cozy, beautifully maintained, and made us feel comfortable right away. Parking was easy, and having the river right in front of the hotel made it perfect for a relaxing walk. If you're heading toward Banff, or heading back to BC I would absolutely recommend staying here.

We had some initial difficulties as they were in the midst of a property upgrade, but the problems were handled professionally and courteously. Overall, we were very satisfied with the property and staff.
