Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Claire Leishman
We are a family of 6. We have lived in a few different cities and towns in Western Canada. Our children range in age from 6-17 and we ski every weekend from December to April. We love the outdoors and usually have an annual camping trip across Slocan lake every summer for 4 days where we sleep on the beach under the stars. Claire is british and John is Canadian, and we chose Nelson to raise our children in. The skiing at Whitewater is fabulous and the summers here are great with the beach at Lakeside, the hiking, canoeing and incredible mountain biking. We hope you are able to enjoy everything our area has to offer, and that you take home great memories.
We have always wanted to live in the "woods" and yet still be close to town to decrease the amount of time that we have to spend in the car. We were lucky enough to purchase this property and build our dream home on it.

Why they chose this property
This property lets you be close to town (a five minute drive down the hill) and yet feel like you are in a rural setting. If you have teenagers, they can walk into town or to the beach. If you like mountain biking, the trails are right above our house. The house itself is very spacious with an open concept.
What makes this property unique
The views are spectacluar and are always changing as the weather systems roll up the valley. For about 10 months of the year, we have a small pond in our front yard, fed by a spring. Ducks and animals visit the pond when it is quiet. The rails to trails system is just below our chicken coop where an old railway line has been converted into a biking and hiking path. We either run on those trails, or we run on the myriad of mountain biking trails above our house. We have a small chicken coop and if there are chickens there, you are welcome to help yourself to the eggs. We will have someone feeding and watering them. Since we are outside the city limits ( by 10 feet), we can have campfires in the evening and watch the stars come out.
