Excellent little cottage to stay at. The views of Nelson especially at night are spectacular. The host was very friendly and quick to respond. Would definitely recommend!

Owner super friendly and could not have been easier to work with! Place was spotless, had everything we needed. Amazingly quiet, peaceful and unbelievably majestic! We will definitely come back if they will have us :-) Thank you so much BobPs sorry about the bear…we should pay better attention to the instructions on not taking out the trash

The cottage location is both terribly inconvenient and perfect - there are more than 100 rickety (but well lit) steps down from the parking area to the cottage, which means multiple exhausting trips to get luggage and supplies down and back up. Despite this, the property is clean, super comfy, the view is breathtaking, and the deck alone is worth every dollar. The owners were lovely and responsive. We enjoyed our time on the lake but might seek a more convenient property next time ;)

The property was beautiful, exactly what we were looking for. We had our own private beach and it felt very peaceful and secluded. It would only take 5 minutes to drive into town, which was very convenient. And the view of Nelson from the balcony at night was incredible, easily one of the best features of the property. The listing mentioned lots of stairs, and it is something to be ready for. It's a bit of a hike to get from the unit to the parking. Overall, it's the perfect place for a lakeside getaway with your own beach. Very highly recommend it!

This property was exactly what my family was looking for. The location on the beach was perfect, the cabin was comfortable and fully stocked with everything we needed and the access to beach toys made our trip even more special. The property listing was very honest about all the stairs but they are maintained and very manageable. The host was always available and provided great communication. We will definitely be booking this property again next summer.
