This is such an incredibly beautiful place to stay. We loved the sound of the creek right outside our door, and the view of the trees. Everything was lovely inside the cabin, and the location was perfect. I loved this cabin.

Didn’t go during ski season so this is not applicable.Went in November, the cabin was surrounded by colour full trees and leaves. The little stream is also gorgeous.The cabin has everything one may need, is really cozy, and just a quick drive to be downtown Nelson or to the ski hill.The owners are lovely, and they were able to manage our early arrival. Delightful stay all together.

This cabin was very well updated and had a beautiful creek flowing right past the deck. Checkin was very smooth and the owner had great communication and was available for any questions I may have had. The cabin is located only a few minutes from Nelson but sits amongst trees and lush plants that gives good privacy. The cabin was very clean and had great appliances and I would not hesitate to book it again,

What a fantastic property...this beautiful cabin nestled in the trees beside the creek. We even had wild turkeys coming through 2 of the days. Walking distance to the beach/swimming...super clear water was lovely. The cabin has everything you need and stays cool due to it being in the trees beside the creek. We'd definitely come back. Thank you!

The cabin has an excellent location, only 9 km away from Nelson, and is centrally located to venture out to experience many attractions and points of exploration offered in the area. This quaint little cabin was nestled in the trees next to a babbling brook, providing serenity and a well-needed escape from city life. They also provided all the amenities and kitchen items a person may need.

Phenomenal

Everything about this property exceeded expectations. The cabin was super clean, with everything I needed including AC, a washer/dryer, and a super comfy bed, in an absolutely gorgeous setting with beautiful creek sounds you can hear inside the cabin, and it's perfectly situated very close to Nelson and nearby beaches. Communication with Karl was fast and seamless, and the owners' sweet dog Blue was around from time to time to say hello. An absolute treat, and this will be my go-to place when I'm in the Nelson area.
