No response from host.
I had a disappointing experience with this property due to a lack of communication from the host. No check-in information was provided, and my messages went unanswered. On the day of check-in, I contacted Vrbo’s help center, which was very helpful and attempted to reach the host and property owner, but they also received no response. Vrbo provided me with a full refund, and I found a nearby hotel instead. While Vrbo’s customer service was excellent and resolved the issue, I would not recommend this property

Cats!
This property has everything you need for a pleasant stay. But, it should be noted that the property has cats, and the cats have access to your living space. If you are fond of cats, then GREAT! If, however you don't expect to share your space with cats, you should be aware. They come and go as they wish.
The property is very clean and well cared for. There is a very adorable sitting area outside, so you can enjoy beautiful nature. Lovely location and very accommodating hosts. The location is somewhat remote, and out of the way. There is access to great hiking trails and nature.

Nice small home with cats
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this home. 3 days in the Kootenay region were wonderful. The heat pump and overhead fans made it easy to adjust the temperature to our tastes. We would. Come again

Comfortable - Cozy - Homey - Lovely!
We had a wonderful stay at this charming, conveniently located, and very comfortable cozy home. We especially loved having the two cats coming and going and occasionally cuddling with us, making us feel even more at home. The kitchen was spacious and lovely to work and eat in; the bedroom comfortable and the bathroom large and perfect. We enjoyed that it was a short drive to Nelson yet tucked away in a garden oasis. Thank you so much - we hope to return soon.

Cozy Clean Home
Cindy is SO helpful and such a clear communicator. The home was so clean. So many utensils and cooking ware in the kitchen which sounds silly but it's literally like cooking at home. We saw a deer on the first night which was awesome. The drive to the house from the airport is super easy and really pretty. Honestly, I'm just so happy that everything is so clean and everything works. It's definitely renewed my hope that there are owners that gives what they advertise and I'm so thankful! Thanks Cindy for the lovely experience! BC is INCREDIBLE!

Great place, great location
We were looking for a spot centrally located to explore Nelson, Kaslo, Castlegsr, and Slocan areas and the location of Cyndy’s little place was perfect for that. But the property did not disappoint. It is well appointed and had everything we could ever need. Perfect for the two of us. The one thing that was a surprise was the complete lack of noise inside the cottage from the often busy highway just a stone’s throw away. The two cats were also an interesting distraction coming to hang out with us in the evenings. Thanks for the stay!

Great Place
We had a great time at Cyndy's place. Its clean, quiet and cozy. The cats are great company for quiet evenings relaxing on the couch. The area is perfectly situated walking distance to the local pub and nestled in between Castlegar and Nelson for amenities. Cyndy was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. We look forward to coming back one day :)
