Overview
gorgeous new suite, 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, ground level, private, patio
Brand new ( ready to rent May 2015), lovingly built by a Swiss carpenter eco suite on our organic farm ( Arrowhead Farm). Enjoy the fresh air and space of the country setting only a 10 min drive from downtown Nelson. 30 minutes to Whitewater Ski Resort.
Arrowhead Farm is situated on a quiet road, away from the highway, but easy access from town. BioBio Suite is on the first floor. There are no steps from the parking to the suite and none within. The main suite is occupied by the owner. There is no overlap of living areas ensuring peace and privacy for both. BioBio suite has its own entrance and a fenced in yard separate from the yard of the main house. It has a lovely private patio.
The suite has lots of natural light from its many windows.
We designed the suite with In-floor geothermal heating, air exchange for the best indoor air quality and comfort of our guests. Only the best materials were used: solid wood, stone, low VOC paints to make for the healthiest environment possible.
At 400 square feet, the suite is ideal for a single traveler or a couple, but would accommodate a family with up to 2 children.
The suite consists of a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and 1 bedroom.

About Tanya Krol
We are a family of 4 and we live in the main suite and run our organic farm. Martin is a carpenter, Tanya is a teacher.
Tanya Krol purchased this apartment in 2009
Why Tanya Krol chose British Columbia Rockies
Both of us grew up in the mountains- Martin in the Swiss Alps and Tanya in the Northern Caucasus, Russia, so we feel at home here in the Kootenays. We think it just doesn't get any better: the natural beauty of the country setting with its abundance of clean water, air, amazing mountain views and space to grow organic food for our family, all only a 10 minute drive away from the amazing community of Nelson with its arts and recreation.
What makes this apartment unique
Skiing, hiking, biking, fishing, sailing, theater, designer stores, gourmet restaurants- Nelson has it all.
We are close to Whitewater Ski Resort renown for its powder. Nelson was named the best ski town in North America by Powder Magazine in 2014.
We love our community and will help you with information on how to enjoy it to the fullest during your stay.

Exceptional!

Excellent
My family and I recently stayed at the beautiful Bio Bio farm, in its pristine and fully kitted-out guest suite. The 3 of us were warmly greeted by Martin, Tatiana's husband. We also got to meet the owners' friendly, bright and polite sons. One of them and my son Yann really hit it off and became friends in no time at all!
The suite has all the amenities you can hope for, allowing for privacy and the ability to cook your own meals. We were able to buy some organic produce from our hosts whenever we needed something for a dinner. Martin gave us a tour of their organic farm, and we were amazed at the vast variety of things they grow and make (like Swiss cheeses). Tatiana was very well versed in questions we had about the region and town of Nelson.
Our stay was relaxing and inspiring, and we hope to come back one day!
BioBio suite
BioBio is a comfortable and affordable suite. Our family of three (12 year old child) stayed for a week at the end of July. The suite was comfortably cool despite soaring summer time temperatures. The row of kitchen windows looks out onto your own private yard where we were able to pick raspberries and blueberries for our breakfast. The yard also provides plenty of room for kids to run around in. We enjoyed the rural setting of BioBio which is only a few minutes drive from Nelson. BioBio is a great home base from which to explore the region. We drove to New Denver one day, to Kaslo on another and enjoyed various swimming beaches in the area. The owners were great to deal with and very helpful plus our son enjoyed the company of the kids of BioBio. We found the drive way a little awkward to get in an out of with two cars parked in the drive way (it would be fine if only one car).
Great Stay!
We were immediately welcomed to the Bio Bio Suite and Farm with warmth and friendliness. Everything was provided from making great coffee, towels, and making fresh mint tea. The suite was clean and cool on the hot days Nelson was having. Martin, Tanya and their children were so lovely. We had a tour through their garden and learned so much about sustainability. We would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it.
Perfect accommodations
We really enjoyed our stay at Tanya and Martin's suite. It was close to town but also removed enough to really relax and enjoy. The suite is lovely and has everything you need. We loved the big backyard, which was totally separate and private. Our hosts were great. I highly recommend staying here.

Friendly, helpful owners, comfortable quiet suite, awesome view
I would highly recommend staying here if you are visiting the Nelson area. It is convenient to town and quite easy to find. The suite is quiet and well organized with everything necessary to provide a comfortable stay. Get a tour of the farm if you can. It is fascinating and Tanya and Martin welcome questions from newby gardeners.
Great place to stay near Nelson
We have stayed at many VRBO properties and found this one to be very clean, comfortable, cozy and a great value! Tatiana was great in communicating and we found the home exactly as advertised. We were very happy here for our 3 night stay. It is very private and you have your own gated yard space with a lovely mountain view.
It was just a few minutes into Nelson and we were very happy we elected to stay here in the mountains rather than staying in the town centre.
There is plenty to do in the area and lots of great restaurants.
We can highly recommend this accommodation. We really enjoyed staying here.
