Klaus and Claudia were excellent hosts! They were very friendly and welcoming. They answered all our questions quickly. The cabin was as advertised - small but very well furnished and within easy walking distance of Kootenay Lake and it's beautiful stony shore.

Thank you for the wonderful review. It was a pleasure hosting you. The tiny home style cabin offers excellent value for the area and close proximity to the lake. We were able to offer you a Fall season rate of Canadian $ 129/ night ( US $ 91). The "Affordable Cabin for 2" with fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with plenty of hot water, new comfortable queen size bed, wifi, A/C, and lakeview is in high demand and our bestseller. Glad that you chose it for your wedding anniversary stay!

The cabin was exactly as described, a nice private beach area only a two minute walk away. A nice area for a fire at night. Great private getaway spot! Very friendly and accommodating hosts. Definitely recommend if you are looking to disconnect from life’s routines for a few days!

Thank you for being our guest. I hope that your rating is not influenced by our opposition to your company's post fire logging on the steep hillside / water shed above us? I wonder where the " No" came from? There were store bought fresh flowers and a complimentary 24 pack of bottled water waiting for you! About the boil water advisory: we post a sign rather than installing a under counter home water treatment system that is potentially unsafe and not approved by authorities. In general, NEVER drink tapwater anywhere unless you see the permit for the water system issued by local authorities. Or you know that the unit is serviced by a municipal water system ( what would be hard here, 50 km from town). We go out of our way in many ways to serve our guests and will do so in the future.

Best experience

Our stay at Kootenay Lake Lodge was fantastic. The owners Klaus and Claudia were lovely. Very accommodating, friendly and welcoming. We stayed in the little red cabin and loved it! We will also be bringing our trailer up to camp as well. I highly recommend this place and will be returning.

A great find

We were very lucky to discover this perfect little cottage. For cyclists, it's ideally suited to make two easy days rides between Creston and Ainsworth. The kitchen was well equipped, and we were able to pick up everything we needed at the grocery store a few on South at Destiny Bay. We hope to come back.

Kootenay Gem

We loved our stay at the Red Cabin. The ambience was full of lake cottage personality and charm. The hosts were friendly, welcoming and were accessible onsite for any needs. The view was AMAZING. The had actual window seats to an unobstructed Kootenay Lake view, just stunning. The property offers private beach access and welcomes our 4 legged friends with open arms. We would jump at the opportunity to return for another visit. Wonderful.

Long weekend getaway

Claudia is responsive and easy to deal with. The cottage is charming and well outfitted for a getaway. Everything you could need for making your own meals and snacks. The view from the bedroom/living area is amazing (beautiful view of Kootenay Lake and mountains). It is a reasonable drive from the artisan shops of Crawford Bay and the ferry across the lake. For our needs it was perfect! Those looking to be right on the water might be disappointed BUT location is clear in the cottage description.

Thank you, Daniel, for your wonderful and honest review. For guests looking for affordable waterfront location, we will soon be offering three permanently parked camping//travel trailers, perfect for the single traveller or for a couple. They will compliment our family friendly waterfront log chalet rentals and our mountainside cabin for 2. The trailers are 26 to 30 ft in length and are RIGHT by the water. During Spring run off, one can jump into the lake right from the front area! We will be accepting reservations for the camping trailers, for the Summer of 2020, starting in April. Looking forward to sharing our paradise with our future guests ! Claudia

As Expected from the pictures

Great little cabin for a day or two. Bed was good but it was the only furniture with the exception of the chairs at the very small eating bar. I would suggest that the cabin add a small table with 2 chairs otherwise it was the value I expected for the price. There's no wifi, TV or cell service so a better sitting area would have been appreciated. Claudia was great and let us know what to bring for the stay, what wasn't available in the cabin. A longer stay in the summer would require some form of A/C as the building was quite warm all night. I would stay here again.

Thank you for the thoughtful response. We value constructive feed back. We now equipped the cabin with an additional lounging chair but are afraid of cluttering the small place. One of the reasons, I always advice all of our cabin guests to bring their own camping chairs is that they can be used inside and outside and can conveniently be folded out of the way when not needed. Installation of A/C is definitely planned for next Summer ! Wi-fi would be easy to install but we opted out of it, in order to keep the nightly rate as low as possible. Our two waterfront log chalets offer all these modern life conveniences, for the traveller who doesn't mind paying a bit more. A MAIN season rate of $ 89 a night for our clean, newly renovated, self contained cabin with fair sized fridge, new 4 burner kitchen range with oven, double sink, microwave, hot water kettle, coffee maker, plenty of pots and pans, a comfy queen size bed, bathroom with roomy shower, breakfast bar with 3 bar stools PLUS a hot water tank that provides plenty of hot water for even a large family, just minutes from the water, is hard to undercut considering that serviced RV sites in our area cost $ 45 a night. I would take Rick again (and wouldn't mind receiving the agreed on boat storage fee, next time).

VRBO had a system glitch. The owner and host of this property sent me this assuming I left a three star review. I explained to her multiple times that it was a mistake and that I had a great time Claudia persisted that I was lying and that I was not being truthful with her VRBO ended up reaching out to Claudia and explain that the app had a glitch and that I never did leave a bad review. Claudia attempted to apologize, but I wanted to share what she sent me so others can see her awful customer service skills.“ Hello Mark, your nightly rate was 99. Our RV Sites are 65. What you get for the 35 difference is a cabin, a comfy bed, a full kitchen, a bathroom with a shower ( looots of hot water and good water pressure), fast Wifi. We did not charge for your 13 month old. Hope you feel good leaving us a 3 star review ! I will now be be increasing the rate to 150 in order to attract more realistic guests. Have a good day”I couldn’t believe a host would message a client like this. Claudia does not deserve to be a host.
