We loved our stay at this VRBO. The house is so beautiful and I love the private beach. The house was well stocked and comfortably fit 4 adults and a 2 yr old. We will be back!

This was a fantastic property for our group of 6 adults. Waking up to the water view and enjoying the patio each morning was a highlight. The weather cooperated and we were able to take out the paddleboards, which was an added bonus. It was just a quick drive (or longer walk) to town and also close to the popular Pulpit Rock hike which was definitely worth doing! The unit was 10 in cleanliness which is very important to us. If our get together happens again in Nelson we would definitely rebook this property.

A gorgeous retreat

Such a beautiful space! A modern tasteful place with every convenience. A seriously beautiful beach. Quiet, secluded - though just minutes from town. Amazing view! Geese, merganzers and a cute family of otters swimming by on occasion. So much beauty. Host Jake was very welcoming.

Lovely Early Autumn Stay

We've visited Nelson many times in the winter, and love it, but had never been there in the summer. The Hidden Half Mile Lake House was a perfect place to stay to experience Nelson when the leaves are still on the trees. The waterfront access was great, and, as we were blessed with generally warm and dry weather, we were in the water pretty well every day SUPing, kayaking, and just taking dips in the lake. We enjoyed the hot tub as well, alternating between going down to the cool (cold) water of the lake and then coming back up and re-heating while taking in the views. The place is close to town by car. Lovely neighbours, with active kids running around (and who even brought us a gift of some flowers and plums). And Jake and Mariah were super helpful throughout. Recommended!

We had a great time in Nelson. Our group of 4 had a great amount of room. It was very clean inside. The view was amazing. Hot tub was a great feature in the evenings or early mornings.

What a fabulous property! The cleanest house I have ever rented! The views were lovely, hot tub was excellent, and we were thrilled to have access to the kayak and paddle board. The rooms were comfortable and kitchen was well equipped. I will recommend to others and would definitely stay again!
