Clean suite and great access to all locations in and around Nelson. The host was quick to respond to inquiries and share a tool to adjust my husband’s bike! The storage shed was perfect to keep our two bikes dry and safe when we weren’t using them. We recommend this suite for two adults.

Wonderful place!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The suite was clean and bright. My son loved the built in bunk bed. The view was beautiful and we were treated to seeing a mamma deer and her babies often during our stay. We highly recommend this place. Very quiet and peaceful.

Sweet modern place with wildlife!

We saw Disney movie caliber wildlife every day: skunks, deer and baby, raccoon and bear! In the backyard! The accommodations were comfortable and all we needed. I think it says two bedrooms on the listing and one is a pocket single bed in the hallway. And lakeside is a couple blocks away. Not complaining at all, great location. Wonderful stay.

Garden suite

I will definitely stay again when we come to Nelson. The unit has huge windows overlooking the beautiful backyard and it had everything we needed. The bed was incredibly comfortable. Be sure to check out the Au Soleil Levant bakery and the Black Bear (translated from Spanish) coffee shop when you're in Nelson. Lynne was so helpful and available for anything we needed.

Absolutely beautiful little suite in a lovely character home, close to amenities by foot, and a 25-30 minute walk to town. We walked every day and loved it! Lynne and Mark were lovely hosts, and truly enjoyed their company and the beautiful back yard. We sat out there in the mornings and afternoons. Would not hesitate to stay here again! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great place, Great Locations

We stayed at Lynne's place for the Canada Day weekend. It is the perfect location to walk to all the activities in the park. Not to mention it's about 2.5 blocks to the DQ! The suite is really quiet, a train went by one evening and with the door closed I couldn't even hear it! There are the occasional expected creaks from being in the lower level historical house, but overall quiet and peaceful. The photos do not do this lovely gem justice! It is bright and clean! (the summer sun comes right into the bedroom, so if you are a late sleeper, a sleep mask will be your friend). There are serval nods to the historical age of the house. Old exposed beams, repurposed heritage doors, very charming. Lynne obviously cares about her guest's comfort and experience. It is much larger than you think. And I was happy to see the recent addition of a small stove. A good variety of kitchen tools, dishes and cutlery. Perfect! We also took advantage of an optional bunk area just off the bedroom. My 5ft10" teen boy fit comfortably and loved having his own space. The King bed is luxurious! The bedroom is spacious. The towels are plush! Lynne has though of pretty much everything a person could need. The afternoon sun warmed the front room slightly, but not uncomfortably. We found keeping the fun yellow door closed during the day helped to keep the sleeping areas basement cool. Would recommend and would stay again if the need arose.
