We are within 10 mins of beautiful beaches for relaxing and swimming. Rent a paddle board or kayak and explore the waters of our beautiful area.
we are located approx.
NELSON -20-25 MINS - Enjoy the scenic route beside Kootenay lake driving to and from the city center of nelson, where you will find many incredible restaurants, cafes, artisanal stores, live music venues, multiple weekly markets and loads more! happy to offer our recommendations.

AINSWORTH HOT SPRINGS - 15-20 MINS - Head to the hot springs for a little relaxation in their natural mountain water fed cave. Relax and let the hot mineral water melt away your pain after a long day of activities. Don't forgot to enjoy dinner at their restaurant the Ktunaxa grill.

Enjoyed a quiet weekend here in October. We primarily stayed in the cabin reading for the weekend as it was rainy but enjoyed the views and birdwatching from the deck. The location is very private tucked away in the trees. The cabin is rustic on the outside but well appointed inside. Very clean and comfortable for two people. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking and the bathroom is really nice with a large shower.

Great location, cozy place to spend a couple days

This tiny house had everything we needed for our two night stay. The full sized bathroom and ability to stand in the loft area make you forget you’re in a tiny house! It was great to be surrounded by forest out of every window and truly be immersed in nature. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful view! Cozy house with all the amenities - appreciated the smart TV on a rainy night. The driveway down to the house was a bit rough for a small car, ended up parking at the top after the first night. Inside, everything was very clean and tidy. Good ventilation with the opening windows and air conditioning.

Beautiful Cabin in the woods

This cabin was perfect for us, it’s nestled in the woods in a private spot. The view was lovely from the deck and lots of windows makes it bright inside the cabin. The cabin was made to include everything you may need. Clean and well cared for and really endearing. The host was wonderful, responsive and very informative about local areas to explore. We love this cabin as a jumping off point between adventures. Looking forward to coming back again soon.

a great place for a retreat deep in the woods but close to the ferry

Not suitable for older adults or those with mobility issues because access is down a steep dirt road, (no pathways, gardens or lawn) I was grateful to be able to unplug the wireless router so i could sleep well and really relax in the peace and quiet with such lovely views down to the lake.
