The space
Welcome!
Fox Hollow is located 7 minutes south of Golden on the side of Moonraker Mountain, with endless forest trails and dramatic views. We (Claire and Matt) invite you to join us here in the forest. We envisioned beautiful, low cost lodgings where travelers could come and explore nature at their doorstep or all around Golden’s central location.

Fox Hollow’s small 10’ x 12' space has everything you need to slow down and reconnect with each other, yourself, and nature.
Perfect for solo adventurers, couples, and groups willing to clean up after
themselves and pack-in/pack-out BEDDING/drinking water/garbage.

"PAY IT FORWARD CLEANING"
EVERY GUEST is responsible for creating a safe, clean, welcoming experience for fellow travelers. Because no cleaning service is provided, your ability to “leave the Hollow as you found it” is fundamental to maintaining an affordable experience. This means cleaning dishes/cabin/cook top and replacing all items to their original locations. (We do check in often to do deeper cleaning.)

The outdoor fireplace is available when permitted (local fire bans are sometimes in place). Bring a hatchet for deadfall or your own wood. A hand saw is in the bbq hut.

The cabin is equipped with:
- 2 single bunk beds (one is 8 feet above the floor)
- 1 queen bed (8" memory foam mattress)
* all mattresses have custom vinyl, easy clean covers
- Propane heater
- Propane fridge
- Propane 1 burner cooktop for boiling and heating only (* Propane IS PROVIDED for these 3 appliances.)
- dishes, cutlery, pots, pans, cutting board, dishwashing basin, empty water jug with spout
- kitchen basics: salt/pepper/steak spice, dish soap, tea towel
- hand coffee grinder and manual drip coffee maker (bring beans or ground)
- wash water from rain barrels during warmer seasons. (*In winter, when available, snow can be melted on the stove.)
- Carbon monoxide detector and fire extinguisher are on site for your safety while using the propane appliances.

The BBQ/cooking hut is equipped with:
- 2 burner stove including propane (frying and smoky cooking is done outside of cabin)
- Webber charcoal bbq (BRING your own
charcoal)

The outhouse is equipped with:
- toilet paper/sanitizer

Solar lights are on the trail, at the parking area, and in the porch.

My work: Our work - our play!
Fun fact: We are childhood sweethearts.
We are Claire and Matt. Having three grown children, we wanted a special place to come together and retire from the city. Golden, BC is that magical place, and Moonraker Mountain provides us with easy access to the activities we love: biking, hiking, skiing, snowmobiling, climbing, canoeing, fishing, swimming, white water rafting, paragliding... you name it!
