Mountain View Cabins

Our biggest Plus has to be our amazing location! We are between Yoho National Park and Glacier National Park with 3 more stunning National Parks nearby. After work or on days off you can visit some fantastic, and famous, sights such as Banff, Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Emerald Lake or a host of other beautiful spots.

We are looking for staff from May 1, 2025 to Sep. 30, 2025. We prefer a minimum of 3 weeks. Note that a work visa is required even to volunteer. I opened the cabins in June, 2014. We've been working with volunteers since before we opened and they have been an invaluable part of our progress and development. There are so many hidden talents with our volunteers! Some have made artistic signs for the cabins and around the property; others have put in shelves for storage or made chairs and benches; we've even had plumbers who got running water out to the outdoor kitchen! In the off-season there are normally only 3 or 4 volunteers at a time but in the peak season (mid-June to mid-September) we will have 7 or 8 volunteers. Depending on the season, staff are accommodated in regular guest cabins (off season); the staff cabin; a "bunkie"; or a large "cabin" tent. Lots of fun and lots of opportunities to meet amazing people from all over the world. We provide the food (3 meals a day) and staff take turns cooking dinner. You would be amazed at some of the great meals that they prepare. Our staff are all young international travelers from all over. We have hosted staff from over a dozen different countries.

I had a good time staying at the Cabins! If you are looking to meet nice and warm volunteers from all around the world, this is the place to be! If you are looking to explore the Rockies, having your own viechel will make a complete different experience.

The work here is simple but repetitive, the admin role sometimes could be quite demanding.

The cabin is bit ran down and nested in the woods, so the accommodation and facilities won’t be the best.

The host Nathan is the nicest guy, always willing to help, drive us around and get us groceries.

Thanks so much for having me! 🤗🙏💖🌸

Very good experience at Mountain Views Cabins. My job was to clean the rooms and maintain the garden. Stayed in a tent. The surroundings of Golden are incredible and met new people... Thank you to Nathan and Lilia who are very friendly and accommodating managers.

My experience in the cabins was good. I was able to practice my English, which was the main goal of this trip. I also met some amazing people and went hiking with beautiful views. The downside of this place is that it's literally in the middle of the mountains, the only way to get around is by hitchhiking on the road, which can be quite difficult—especially if you're a man (unfortunately). It's also important to mention that you’re not always guaranteed a bed inside a cabin. Many times, you’ll end up sleeping in a tent which isn’t very pleasant due to the cold nights and a lot of mosquitoes!

Great time in Mountain view cabins especially with a nice team of volunteers ! Without them I think it will be too boring because we are little bit stuck without a car. So we did some hitchike or find Poparide to go to different places during our days off. The work was okay, I did housekeeping 9:30 to at the latest 3 pm. Nathan is busy but he took some times to drop off us in different places when he can, so thanks for that. We don't meet the owner, Jim. If you have a car you will enjoy this place ! Just a lot of mosquitos this year 😬 for a first volunteer experience it was really nice !
