Family-sized home, close to the water, with decks & fire pit area !
The Holiday Creek Vacation Home is nestled in a parklike setting on the mountainside property and is part of the Kootenay Lake Lodge Waterfront Log Chalets & RV Sites. The mountainside property is bordered by Holiday Creek, a small creek with a name that derives from the "Halliday Sisters", two feisty ladies who owned and operated a strawberry farm on the property, almost 100 years ago. Very short walk to the beach and lake. The setup is ideal for family reunions and gatherings, since larger groups can make use of Holiday Creek Vacation Home (sleeps 6), two waterfront log chalets (sleep 8 each -listed on VRBO too) and the numerous RV Sites (partially or fully serviced, all with 30 amp). Vacation Home and Waterfront Log Chalets are available by the WEEK only during the peak season month of July and August. Please inquire before booking! The vacation home is a 1400 sft., one level, bungalow style, log post and beam residence that features open concept living. Covered porches on two sides allow our guests to enjoy the outdoors, even on one of those rare rainy days. Inside the combination of plank flooring, wooden vaulted ceilings, free standing logs, a well-designed kitchen with full size fridge and dishwasher, make it a one-of-a-kind lake house. The spacious living room with comfy couches invites guests to enjoy the charm and warmth of country living. There are two bedrooms equipped with a queen size bed in one and two double beds in the other room. Additional twin size extra long (1 m x 2 m) floor mattresses can be provided if needed. A laundry room next to the entrance and a separate guest washroom in addition to the 4-piece bathroom are additional features. Four window A/C units, box and ceiling fans, blinds, and insulated curtains keep the home cool, even on hot summer days. The West facing bedroom allows access to the covered lake facing deck. The East facing covered deck is equipped with built in sleeping platforms, ideal for a nap in the shade. This deck can be directly accessed from the kitchen. Also provided is deck furniture, use of fire pit area next to the creek and carport parking. Fast TELUS 6 high speed Wi-fi allows our guests to stay connected with friends or work. Short walk to private beach where we provide a place to leave kayaks and canoes. Public boat ramp one mile south. Motorboat parking for a small fee is available next to the vacation home. The Boswell public boat ramp is 1 mile south from us. Spend the day at our private beach or visit other beautiful public beaches close by. Take a short drive to Mackie Beach Park, Lockhart Provincial Park Beach, Burden's Cut Pebble Beach and cross the lake for exceptionally beautiful Drewry Point Marine Park (boat access only). Kokanee Golf Resort is 30 minutes north. Backcountry snowmobile trails up the mountains. Whitewater Ski Resort located outside of Nelson is a day trip and Ainsworth Hot Springs is 15 minutes north of the Balfour Ferry Landing (the ferry landing across the lake). Come and discover what the Kootenay Lake Area has to offer, in Summer and in Winter!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a ceiling fan.
