Excellent place to stay, Chelsie and Richard were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and places to eat at, visit and tour around. Beautiful area. We stayed at the west arm room and had the best view of the lake and magnificent flower beds. We will be back to stay again real soon

Great stay! Clean and very tidy property. Ainsworth Hot Springs and restaurant a short distance from property.
Mary
Amazingly beautiful place!! Lots of love & thought went into the property-from the access to the room, details in the room and the landscaping on the property!! First time to the area & so glad we picked this place! It’s a perfect landing spot to spent a day in Nelson and area OR head the other direction to the hot springs & quaint town of Kalso! And the ferry to experience the other side of the lake is right there in Balfour! Couldn’t have been better!
Keith
Quiet peaceful location not far from ferry to kootaney bay
steve
Let me start with the negatives: . . . Yep, there actually were none. This place is second to none. You will never get tired of the view out your front window. The owners are beyond friendly yet know how to give you space. The room could not be cleaner, is incredibly spacious, and outfitted beautifully. If you ever find yourself looking to spend the night in this area, count yourself blessed if you can get into this accommodation.
Marlo
Beautiful place. Would go back again.
Lance
It was a beautiful place to stay. It was very clean,tidy and spacious. The host was very friendly and accommodating. The kids enjoyed playing at the basketball court and the putting green. Highly recommended.

A unique property nestled above the beautiful Kootenay River. Easy peasy check-in and check out. Attempted our first game of pickleball! Marvellous clean bedroom and bathroom. What a delight!
Would definitely stay here again!

Timothy
Just like being in your own home…only MUCH, MUCH NICER! Quiet, BEAUTIFUL location, beautiful room, about halfway between Nelson and Ainsworth Hot Springs. In all our travels, this is one of the best places we have ever stayed. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Matt
This property boasts breathtaking views of Kootenai Lake. The host was thoughtful and helpful giving us much needed information to make our stay perfect. The property is within 15 minutes to Ainsworth Hot Springs. Great amenities such as real cream for the coffee and quality assortments of shower products. We will definitely be back.
Noralyn
Our family had a great time staying in this property. Spacious, clean and beautiful location. Definitely coming back again.
Thijs
waking up to the mountains and lake each morning
We had an amazing stay in Nelson! The house was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The view was absolutely incredible — waking up to the mountains and lake each morning was unreal. It was peaceful, private, and just a short drive to town. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot — highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!
Ron
It was everything we had thought it would be and a very impressive suite.
Ken
Absolutely Fantastic!
Helen
If you like quiet and relax stay, this is the right place to stay. The room is so clean and nice, washroom is so so big.
Barry
Third time there,only place to stay
Aiman
Just one word: BEAUTIFUL!!
Grant
The property is beautiful. The hosts are very nice. It’s about a half hour drive to Nelson, but on the bright side, we were also only about 20 mins from Ainsworth Hot Springs in the other direction.
Kat
It was a fantastic stay. I was there to visit Kaslo Jazz Festival and not expecting anything. But the place was sooo comfortable and quiet. It was such a relaxing stay.
Roger
I mistakenly believed the property had cooking facilities. Beautiful and excellent otherwise.
Derek
Visited earlier in the year. Went to nearby hikes at the lake but during the time we stayed, and visited the hot springs. The hosts were great and attended our needs. Hosts recommended sites and nearby eateries, including showing us the up and coming services to be provided in the future. Had a very nice and pleasant quiet stay, as the suite was nice and large. When we get more time, would love to come back.
Kelly
The home is beautiful with each suet having a view of Kootenai Lake. We enjoyed sitting on the little patio overlooking the mountains and the lake and breathing the fresh air. The suet was very well appointed with gorgeous floors, lighting, fireplace, luxurious bedding.
Leanne
This was a beautiful place with lots to do in the area.
Yue
A beautiful and quiet place, will go back again!

Teandra
This property was clean, the staff (owner) was super friendly, and there was stuff to do for little kids. The room we stayed in was immaculately clean and we were also welcomed with little chocolates. We had everything we needed and it was very quiet.
Dayna
The house / suite was beautiful. The owner was very nice. Would highly recommend this place.
Rita
Lovely and Comfortable
Very comfortable and roomy. Lovely view.
Only downside is about half an hour from Nelson and no restaurants closer than that. But thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

What a fabulous property! The owners are so friendly. The pickle ball and basketball court are awesome for kids after a long car ride. Our room was very spacious and comfortable!

Great space. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and awakening to the songbirds every morning.

The property itself is stunning with an incredible view of the lake. The hosts are some of the most hospitable that I’ve ever met.
