We had a beautiful stay at this wonderful property. It’s a nice quiet area but close enough to find something to do. Nice artisan shops close by, and wonderful beaches. The owners were very responsive when I sent them a small inquiry. Would love to stay again.

Cabin was lovely. Kitchen had everything we needed. The boat launch area is lovely for coffee in the am and wine in the evening. I wouldnt want to launch any type of craft there unless the water was flat calm but the kids caught some fish from shore:) . We had a great time.

Family Vacation

Wonderful place where we were able to fully enjoy Kootenay Lake. The lake access from the property is great for adults, when the grandchildren were here we went to nearby beaches and spent lots of time playing games and throwing frisbees in the large common green space behind the cabin. Located very close to Crawford Bay where there is a decent size grocery store, a large playground and a bakery with wonderful cinnamon buns. The weather was very hot too and the log construction was surprisingly cool, especially in the lower suite.

It was all good except that lake access limited to a fairly small area. We ended up going to other parks and beaches.

Great place to stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Only 1 glitch. An earlier tenant set the alarm for 2:14am. Didn't like waking up then. The cabin is great. Really appreciated the ceiling fan as it was warm when we were there. From the cabin there are lots of things to do. This is about our 9th or 10th time there. Love it. Sandy Wilson

About the host

Hosted by Paul and Colleen Knudsgaard

Host profile image
We are currently from Prince George BC. Colleen is a teacher and Paul is a retired firefighter. We have two children 15 and 17. Paul grew up in the Kootenays, in Rossland. We visit often as Paul's mother still lives in Rossland and we love the skiing and outdoor recreation opportunities. The kid's cousins live in Kimberley and are the same age so we also enjoy visiting them when in the Kootenays.

Why they chose this property

Paul's cousin owns one of the cabins at The Bayview strata and we had visited him there a few times. When this cabin came up for sale we were thrilled to be able to own a cabin there as well.
