Nestled at the base of Kicking Horse Mountain
Once you arrive you forget about living in the city and the hectic pace of everyday living. You are greeted by the owners and made to feel welcome upon arrival. After you view the entire lodge you can settle into your room or rest in the lounge/living room where others guests talk about the ventures for the day or where they are going to go next. Once again the owners will share with you hikes within the area or assist you in discovering something you have never experienced before. The most relaxing holiday in years!

Ed / Charmaine, Oakville, Ontario

A most welcoming treatment by owners.
The lodge is in an isolated area developed mostly for skiing and hiking. We made it in mid September just before closing for the summer season. The owners who live on the site were most helpful and friendly in assisting our travel plans to the Icefields Parkway located about 100 km away and then off to Banff and Lake Louise.

Beautiful lodge with fantastic hosts
Stayed here for 3 nights and absolutely loved it. We stayed in room 6 which had two small double beds and was a split level room. Ken and Laurie are the hosts and they made the stay extra special. They were always willing to go the extra mile. The hot tub outside was always a welcome relief after a long day on the slopes. The breakfast and lunch supplied were also top quality.

Beautiful lodge with the friendliest owners
We stayed at Vagabond Lodge because the price was quite affordable for our September trip to kicking horse. We were welcomed to the lodge and shown around and was stunned by the beautiful atmosphere and the friendliest owner Ken. Must stay if you're in the area!

Rick and Doris, Sechelt, BC

This is a quiet mountain-style lodge.
We enjoyed the Vagabond's casual comfort and charm. On a warm day, the veranda is a nice place to relax with a coffee and listen to the birds nesting in the trees. The indoor common spaces are perfectly suited for reading and conversation. All bedrooms are upstairs, decorated in warm tones and natural woods. Our room had a large window seat, allowing us to stretch out for a rest in the afternoon sun. The hosts are extremely friendly, always taking time to chat and offer ideas for enjoying the nearby trails and activities.

Vagabond Lodge at Kicking Horse Resort
We wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and yet not spend all our time traveling. The Vagabond Lodge was a perfect fit. The lodge itself is beautiful, nestled in the side of the mountain and well kept up. Lori and Ken are wonderful hosts and the breakfasts and service were excellent. We enjoyed the peace and beauty the area had to offer and look forward to our next stay at the Vagabond Lodge and discovering more about area.
