This place is absolutely a beautiful spot. From start to finish the stay was five star from location to service. Franca and her daughter were beyond great hosts. I highly recommend this place.

The Lion's Head Guest Suite

ChristopherRating, 5 stars2 days ago
Great place to stay nestled in-between Whitewater and Red mountain in a quaint little mountain town. The pub below serves good food and was an enjoyable convenience. It also accommodated the 6 of us very comfortably, and probably could have fit a few more if needed. Carly was very accommodating to us and was a quick response when I had a couple questions. This is a well deserved return destination for us in the future.

Eclectic Elegance: Cozy Downtown Studio

SarahRating, 5 stars11 months ago
Maria's place was the PERFECT spot to unwind in Nelson. We were looking for a getaway and Maria was so so helpful in helping us feel welcome, letting us check in at a time that worked for us. She was so responsive and kind in all communication. The room was really really nice. It had a lovely bathtub as well! We were so glad to stay there. Definitely convenient for walking to restaurants and cute shops in town. 100% recommend.

Nelson Beach Chalet 5 Bedroom Waterfront House

CandaceRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Our two families totaling 10 people felt so comfortable in Staci's beautiful and spacious chalet. There was ample room inside for us to spread out but we also appreciated being able to all get together in either of the two living areas for board games and movies. There are various areas outside to relax whether it's at the beach enjoying the sun, sand and eagles or on the grass with a propane fire, a game of Bocce Ball and watching the local turkeys. Our beds were comfortable the house was very clean and well equipped for our 5 day stay. Staci was kind and quick to respond to all of my questions before and during our stay and checked in with us to see how things were going. I would not hesitate to recommend Staci's chalet and we hope to return next year!

The Rusty Bear - Waterfront home on Kootenay Lake.

SuziRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Wow! We had such an amazing time at the Rusty Bear…we didn’t want to leave! The location is incredible, just a few steps from the water. The sauna and running down to the lake combo comes highly recommended! The trains were not a bother at all but glad of the warning as the horn is loud haha! There are amazing trails just down the road, the bakery is amazing - great pizzas on Fridays and really good coffee and baked goods (the famous cinnamon buns did not disappoint!). The house was super clean, and the little dog touches were really stand out - beds, toys, biscuits! It’s a great spot for dogs. There are neighbours close but you can’t see them at all from the property and hardly even from the beach. So wonderfully idyllic

Private Lakefront Beach Home

AndreaRating, 5 stars6 months ago
The perfect lakefront escape! This cabin is the jackpot—a private beach, all the nature & cabin vibes, and enough space to fit my modern family of five plus our two fur babies. The cabin is spacious, comfy, quirky layout and everything you could possibly need from games, kitchen wear to towels & more. Great communication with Craig, easy to get into. If you’re craving a secluded, serene spot by the lake, this is it.
