There was so many thoughtful things put in place at this cute little place! The location was great for my girls trip to the Kootenays and was a comfy little home away from home! Would definitely stay again!

Immaculately clean, private, great hot tub, super comfy bed and sofa. Owners have thought of everything - tea, coffee, cooking oil, shampoo, conditioner, even eggs from their chickens! Highly recommend this guesthouse.

Fabulous guesthouse! Its in a perfect spot, close to Nelson, and the beach. The guesthouse itself is a perfect size for two and the private hot tub is such an added bonus. The hosts are so great, thanks again!

Beautiful little home with a beautiful garden with chickens you can say hello to every morning (no roosters!). The place was perfectly clean and the host was kind enough to leave us some eggs in the fridge from the coop out back. The hot tub was also clean, private and had a gorgeous view. I would highly recommend staying here if you get the chance! :))

Love this hidden gem. My son and I enjoyed our stay immensely, and will stay there again when in Nelson. The kitchen had everything we needed, the living room was spacious, my don slept on the sofa and found it comfortable, my bed was really comfy, and the bathroom was nice and roomy. My son also really enjoyed the hot tub. We could have had some veggies from their garden, however we had brought veggies with us. Also had some eggs from their chickens. It was a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We will definitely go there when we are next in Nelson. Thanks, Yan
