Wonderful Kicking Horse home
We have travelled from Sydney, Australia and have been absolutely thrilled. The house is beautifully designed and thoughtfully appointed. You have thought of everything! We've absolutely loved it, and especially the fire, ping pong, spa, and interesting art. Such a stunning home. We've also loved the thrills of the mountain. What a special place you've created in such a special setting. Thank you for opening up your home. Warm regards Anton, Anita, Cy and Saskia.

Amazing Property and Hosts!!!
Our family (2 adults and 2 adult children and one teen child) thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Kicking Horse. Blair and Tara's home is perfect. The gourmet kitchen, the fantastic master suites, the incredible bunk room, and the media room were all awesome. Also, the back porch with the pizza oven was a favorite hangout. Additionally, the stream in the backyard is quite soothing to listen to and really provides an incredible ambiance. We would HIGHLY recommend this home and Blair and Tara are consummate hosts! Our days were consumed with activities in and around Kicking Horse. We spent time at Eagle's Eye restaurant (top of Kicking Horse resort), played golf at Golden Golf Club (unbelievable course in fantastic shape - including a putt-putt course in the back of the clubhouse), Lake Louise, Banff, hiking in and around the area, whitewater rafting the Kicking Horse River. All around fantastic trip!

Ideal Winter Getaway
What a dream. This gorgeous ski in/out was the perfect destination for a wedding proposal. After spending the day on the hill, the ability to relax in the hottub/sauna was much appreciated. Tastefully decorated with eye-stopping artwork in every room. We will absolutely be back to celebrate future anniversaries!

About the host

Hosted by Blair

Host profile image
We are a family of 5 from Edmonton, Alberta. We initially were introduced to the hill 21 yrs ago when we purchased a unit in Whispering Pines. We weren't skiers but loved the idea of doing an activity together as a family. As you can imagine our boys went from skiing in between our knees to leaving us behind rapidly.

Why they chose this property

We loved our townhouse in Whispering Pines but would often walk around the different strata's and even look at homes for sale wishing for a bit more space so we could host family and friends. We were never satisfied with the inventory , feeling some spaces were needlessly large and overbuilt for weekend getaways. We enlisted a close friend to design and build Owls Nest and have been more attached to KH than ever.

What makes this property unique

The attention to detail in this home makes it hard to leave. Every room is cozy and comfortable and beautifully designed and furnished. We have had three families in this home at once with every bed filled and never did we fill crowded. The kitchen is perfect for family buffet style eating, and the two dishwashers and space helps make clean up easy. There are many areas to hang out in; you can always find the peace or the "party" you are looking for.
Ski in literally to back door.
We love sitting in the pumpkin chairs with morning coffee and gazing down the valley.
Coming up the stairs to the heart of the home always brings warmth and joy to us all.
