Wonderful stay in Nelson! Close to town and a walk away from the beautiful lake view park. It has everything you need. Will definitely be staying again!

Was easy check in and a beautiful place. Extra fees
Had everything we needed and was a great stay. Close to downtown, many restaurants and the main road (3a) to explore outside Kootenay lake north of Nelson.
New fridge. There is also a shower that I did not see in the photos. Very happy

The temperature never warmed up in the studio. It was really cold outside and I never really got the chill off. Beautiful property.
We stayed in a lovely unit at the top of the house it was an absolute oasis. The clawfoot tub was such a surprise. Fantastic location and our host Maria was wonderful.

Beautiful, funky unit.
Very well-appointed, and VERY convenient to downtown Nelson. Surprisingly quiet. Lovely heritage home. All the modern conveniences of home were in our unit. Loved the still-working retro refrigerator!

Above all the best!
I have been coming to Nelson on business for 25 years and none beat Mistiso's. Everything is amazingly decorated with funky/cool stylings and beautifully appointed. The heat is on when you arrive. You can live in this place. Mistiso's is only 2 minutes walk to everything Nelson. Maria is a doll who pays attention to every detail.

A wonderfully cozy retreat!
We have really enjoyed staying at Mistiso's in the past and this past March stayed in the Kokanee suite which was absolutely lovely, cozy and charming. Mistiso's has become our 'home away from home' when we go to Nelson. Excellent location and wonderful owners!
Everything we needed for three adults and two teens
We were planning on staying in two hotel rooms, but found Mistiso's place and it seemed a better fit for us -- more shared space, and helped make the trip affordable by cooking a few meals at home. Glad we did! We had a great time, lots of space in the Purcell suite for three adults, two teens, and all of our snow gear. Cooked big family meals, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Location is perfect for running out to town or out for groceries. We'll be back next year for sure.

A Great Place To Stay in Nelson
We feel so lucky to have found this wonderful place to stay for five nights. The location is ideal to walk to shops and restaurants. We loved how we were able to park right outside our door, as we had all our ski equipment. The place is super cute and looks exactly like the photos. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything one would need.
We will definitely recommend Mistisos to anyone going to Nelson, and would love to stay there again ourselves!!
