Ken and Lori
All the logs in Vagabond Lodge were hand peeled by Lori. The logs were all from the property where Vagabond Lodge now stands. Rooms do not have TVs. Vagabond is a great spot to unplug and get away. Vagabond Lodge is across the road from the Gondola at Kicking Horse Resort. Their backyard is an adventure playground.
Lori and Ken built and operate Vagabond Lodge. The history of the name goes back to Club Vagabond in Leysin Switzerland where they both lived in the early 70's. Lori and Ken love to ski, hike, kayak, and bike whenever they get a chance.
Our backyard is an adventure playground. Not only is there skiing and snowboarding out our back yard but in the summer, golf, mountain biking(downhill and cross country) whitewater rafting, horseback riding, canoeing, hiking and more is just a short walk or drive away. If you love outdoor activities this is the place. Yoho and Glacier National Parks are only about a 30 minute drive away and Banff just slightly longer(1 and a half hours)
