The listing description was accurate, it was easy to find the hut ... and from the first moment we love it there. Property was clean, lights on, door open and welcome notice. The hut is for "ordinary" nature lovers.Simple, with everything you need before or after day of skiing. We cooked dinners, used hot tub, took showers. We missed only "rope" for drying our ski socks, gloves etc. Skiing was unbelievable that weekend, race was also very good, Stano and Eric took first and second place, Katka and Martin were first in junior category. Jakub /10 years old/ had lot of fun trying wider skis and his parents Jara and Rasto enjoyed tree skiing ... Nobody wanted to go back home. Dreaming about next Christmas or spring break. Thank you so much.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, adventure seekers, age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway, girls getaway, families with young children.

The owner of the cabin was very helpful in the booking and was putting the final touches on the place when we arrived for our stay. The cabin is a perfect communal spot for a ski group outing at Whitewater, Salmo/Creston Pass or Salmo ski hill - tons of skiing and amazing scenery in a close proximity. The cabin has the perfect amount of amenities, is clean, charming and laid out very well. I would highly recommend to anyone headed to Nelson with friends or family.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children.

Very nice new building. Located ten minutes from Whitewater and only 45 min from Red Mountain ski resort.Private cabins with kitchens and fireplace. Nice not to have TV, but good to have internet, as our rogers cell phones did not work in the area. Dined at YMIR Hotel, lots of character ! Shopped at Kootenay Coop in Nelson, lots of organic and interesting food to take back enjoy. Enjoyed xcross country skiing at Cottonwood Lake picnic site. Great site for outdoor typesRecommended for: Families with teenagers, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, sightseeing, families with young children.

We really enjoyed our stay at the kootenay huts. The huts are quite beautiful, the pictures do not do it justice. The hut was warm and cozy and comfortably housed 5 guests. The wood fired hot tub was a great addition to our stay. The owners were very accommodating and helped us to set up a projector screen for streaming television. We had some trouble with the Internet connection, but it worked for most of our stay. The town was very close, a 15 minute walk, and we enjoyed many nights at the historic Ymir hotel. The free cross country trails in Ymir were a lovely outing, as well as the many trails on the property. I would strongly recommend the kootenay hits for anyone looking for a quiet stay and isn't planning on driving to Nelson regularly.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, pet owners, romantic getaway.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2011
About the owner: Guy and Chris are outdoor enthusiasts who love to ski, bike, hike, run, climb, explore and just enjoy nature. They also happen to be triathletes and marathoners.
Why the Owner Chose Nelson:
Guy and Chris, originally from Quebec, moved to the Kootenays over ten years ago to enjoy the finest outdoor experience there is. They built the Kootenay Huts in the last year to share their love of the area and offer the opportunity to soak in the Kootenay mountain culture in a relaxed and peaceful setting. Their extensive outdoor experience guided the design of the chalet.
The Unique Benefits at this Chalet:
Get a complete mountain experience! Spend the nights of your daily adventures in the easily accessible but yet secluded nature spot. Cook for yourself, feel the wildlife around you, enjoy the organic feel of the chalet. Feed a log to the woodstove and keep your life simple.
