Relaxing Vacation
Spent a week here and was super relaxing. The lake, beach, and dock are was fabulous. It was private and beautiful. The accommodations were segregated, rooms were small and the sofa bed was terrible. It still worked for our purpose, but would have preferred to have everyone together. There were only two showers, with one being outdoors, so that was unexpected. The kids enjoyed the separate cabana and bar. It was great having Chris on site, as he was friendly and super helpful.

Nice time in the Kootenays
Lakefront access is awesome at this property, as is the hot tub and front deck. The listing is a bit deceiving as we weren’t expecting 1 bed and bathroom to be in a unit well behind the primary place. It’s quite small but lots of outdoor space. Deck is a bit dangerous for kids as there’s a big drop with no railing. Great location for a bachelor/bachelorette party, for sure.

Super great beachfront property
Everything about this property was amazing, we especially loved the canoe. We didn’t realize that the master suite was not a part of the main house, it was in a different building with a big stair case for access but it was also super lovely nonetheless. The only weird thing was that the security camera was located on the deck and overlooked the beach and hot tub area I don’t know if that’s for insurance reasons or whatever, sort of creepy though.

Truly enjoyed all the property had to offer. On-site manager is great, location can’t be beat for water activities, long walks and exploring nearby towns. Property is very clean, beds are comfortable, kitchen supplies are top notch. Chris left us local coffee beans and groceries for breakfast - thank you!

Kootenay Lake Beachside Holiday
We enjoyed a great vacation. The property was very private and we greatly enjoyed morning coffee on the deck, watching the birds as they captured fish from the lake. The outdoor shower was quaint, but a little less so on cooler/windy mornings. Chris was a great host, and very responsive to all questions and requests.

Fabulous vacation rental on Kootenay Lake!! Chris is very kind and accommodating to all our requests. He ensured our first morning was easy stocking the kitchen with breakfast items. Hot tub was regularly cleaned during our week. Kids enjoyed using the paddle boards and canoe. Overall it was a great stay!!! Now if the smoke would just clear up...

Beautiful Property
This property was great, and very accommodating. The only thing we needed to bring was our groceries. The views were spectacular from the house. We had lots to keep us entertained right on the property itself, with the lake, the canoe, SUP, hot tub. The bar feature was definitely a hit with everyone. If only the smoke from the fires had stayed away, it would have been perfect. Chris was very helpful though, and even brought over an air purifier for us. I would definitely come back again! The kids are already planning it out.

Great beach house in a beautiful spot- well appointed and felt very private. Love the outdoor shower!! Christopher was responsive but almost invisible so we felt like we had the place to ourselves. It was super hot and smokey outside one day - but we stayed cool and comfortable in main house. We recommend this place for a beach getaway.

Summer Hot Spot
This property is in a beautiful location. It is close enough to Nelson to visit as needed and right next door to a provincial park which was great for walking trails, childrens playground. and a nature centre. The beachfront of this property is spectacular. Nice, clean sand and shallow entry into the water. The water was so warm this year that swimming and boating was a pleasure. The decks had nice furniture to relax on and awnings that helped provide some shade from the sun. There is no natural shade on the property (no trees). The main building has been renovated and is comfortable. The two bedrooms are very small and getting into bed is a challenge. No closets in the bedrooms. For the expensive nightly rate I was expecting amenities that were of a higher quality. The dishware was old, broken and cracked and limited--we were washing dishes frequently. Only four mugs. Glassware was minimal and poor quality.Acrylic glasses supplied and disposable plastic glasses available. Poor cutlery. Knives not sharp and of poor quality. An abundance of pots which were of good quality. Beds were very comfortable. The linens are older and could be replaced. Towels for bathrooms were older and greyed with age and use. Beach towels were plentiful and in good condition. The cupboards were full with outdated products left from previous renters. No place to store the food stuff we brought. Fridge was full of condiments, with duplicates. I would prefer to have the fridge fully cleaned out and same with cupboards. Some spices and quality salt and pepper would be appreciated. There is an outdoor shower which is very private and lovely. However, again there were about five old pieces of soap and quite a few bottles of shampoo and conditioner, obviously left by previous guests. Really enjoyed using the outside bar. It had a great fridge and ice maker. There was a TV in it which could be watched from the hot tub. Hot tub was very clean. The third bedroom was a separate cabana with bunk beds and a queen bed. Nice to have this space. Not totally complete yet. Windows missing (covered with plastic) and not all windows had blinds. It would be nice to have a locking screen door as an entry into this cabin. Separate porch with comfortable chairs which provided a nice private spot to sit and read. Over all, we enjoyed our stay and lucked out with fabulous weather, no fire or smoke worries. My chief disappointment was the poor quality accessories in the kitchen and bedroom.

We had a wonderful time at this property. Even though part of the beach is shared, we did not have any visitors other than geese and a deer. So, it felt very private. Loved the hot tub, BBQ, stand up board, and canoe. Great amenities. Chris was very attentive and friendly. I would definitely recommend this oasis.

Stayed cool in 44 degree weather
This property lived up to everything it promised. It was a cool place to retreat from the craziest heat wave in Canadian history and provided more than enough entertainment options. We spent our days paddle boarding, floating and jumping off the dock, and making plenty of margaritas with the help of the ice maker and massive fridge in the Cabana. We will be back next summer! Chris was so responsive, helpful and even offered tips to enjoy the rest of our trip through BC.

Amazing!
Our family needed an escape and this property was absolutely perfect. Peaceful, quiet, privacy, landscape, scenery, functionality, it had it all. The private dock for our boat was ideal and made the entire lake accessible. The calm cove made tubing for the kids excellent, the SUP provided allowed the kids to experience something new and take in the majestic location from the water. The main house is excellent, the bar cabana was very convenient and useful, the secondary cabana for additional sleeping arrangements worked well for our family of 5, and the hot tub provided a nice touch of relaxation (especially in the cooler evenings after a busy day). The only improvements would have been if the dishwasher worked (Christopher did disclose it was on the fritz so it wasn’t a surprise, just a minor inconvenience), and not all jets were working in the hot tub (didn’t take away from anything at all and really a minor issue). All in all we really loved staying here and got the exact escape we needed. We would highly recommend this property and definitely consider a return!
