Welcome to Aurora House! Named after the Northern Lights, the house is stunningly appointed with beautiful lighting creating the perfect soothing sanctuary after an action packed day in the mountains.

Aurora House is one of the newest homes on the mountain, featuring the latest in mountain modern design and architecture. Wall-to-wall windows means the house is filled with natural light and gorgeous views of Columbia River Valley and Kicking Horse can be enjoyed from all parts of the house.

With 4000 square feet of living space spread over three floors, the house comfortably accommodates up to 16 guests (maximum 13 adults). The main floor has a living room, chef’s kitchen, huge deck, dining room, garage, laundry room and powder room. The kitchen features state of the art appliances including a Viking fridge, 6 burner Bertazzoni stove and Bosch dishwasher. From the dining room, access the deck that spans the width of the home where there is a grill and patio furniture.

The lower floor has 2 bedrooms, a full bathroom, media room, gas fireplace, wet bar and wine fridge and access to private 6 person hot tub. The two bedrooms each have queen beds and large closets. The media room features a giant projector screen with accent theatre lighting and surround sound. There are two large sofas that convert to double beds.

The upper floor has 3 bedrooms, small office nook, 2 bathrooms and a sitting room. The master bedroom suite is luxurious with a king bed looking out to the mountain through wall to wall windows, private deck, a giant walk-in closet, ensuite 4 piece bathroom. The second bedroom features a queen bed with large closet. The third bedroom features a bunk bed with two single bunks, large closet and a Juliet balcony. The bathroom is just off the entrance to the two bedrooms. The sitting area features a 48 inch flat screen TV and sofa that converts into a comfortable double bed.

The garage has racks for skis and snowboards and a boot dryer to ensure your boots, gloves and hats are ready to go for the next day.

Aurora House is conveniently located on Columbia Valley View Drive which means all amenities are a short walk/ski/ride away. The home is ski-in and the base area is easily accessed via an 180m walk to the ski trail. A “secret” trail at the back of the house allows guests to hightail it to Kicking Horse’s best spa or enjoy a top-notch dinner at Corks.

Great vacation house
Our group of 13 had an amazing stay! The location was quick to the ski hill. The house was stocked with all kitchen necessities. Linens were fresh and comfortable. The layout of the house worked great as the “teens” took over the basement. Would recommend this location 100%!

Excellent location Modern house
Everything is superb. If at all there is anything, i would just say there is not really a backyard for kids to play.

About the host

Hello! Bonjour! Ni Hao! Namaste!

About the Owners: We are Canadian expats who have lived and travelled all over the world and believe that Kicking Horse is a hidden gem. Off the beaten track, this area offers world-class skiing, endless kilometers of mountain biking/hiking trails against a fantastic backdrop of the most stunning views away from the throngs of tourists. Our a-ha moment was a hike to Gorman Lake that was amazing and we were the only ones there – like a private Lake Louise!

During our travels, we have stayed in some spectacular rentals and some not-so great. We aspire to emulate our favourite stays, learn from the others and provide a welcoming home-away-from home.

It is a dream come true to buy the Aurora House and we hope to have the opportunity to share this amazing outdoors paradise with you.
