Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the property and your stay with us. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime.
Shelley was a great host! Great communication, and made it easy to reach out if we needed anything. The location was perfect for a family trip, and the house was better than advertised. The hot tub was especially great after a day of skiing. The view was incredible too. We would definitely stay again!
Great place on the lake, good communication. All good.

We stayed for a few nights during winter and enjoyed the hot tub, spacious property and all of the amenities that the property had to offer. It would be great to come back in summer as the beach property would be amazing.

Thank your for your kind words. We are working hard to make this a destination property that people want to return for years to come. It was so nice seeing your family using the beach in May. You were definitely braver than me with the cold water.
We would happily welcome you back.
Perfect get away spot outside Nelson. Loved how quiet the area was. We were able to paddle board everyday & cook at home. Loved it.

Hi Kathryn,
Thank you again for staying with us. I have to admit, I was a little surprised to see a 4-star review since you mentioned having a great time and even talked about returning next year. We always aim to offer a 5-star experience, so if there was anything we could’ve done differently, I’d really appreciate your feedback. Wishing you all the best, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime.
Beautiful setting in a very fun little ski town. Hot tub was amazing after a day on the slopes! Our only small complaints were bed was a little uncomfortable and the upstairs living room was small making it hard to hang out as a group. Overall great stay and would return.

This rental is great in every way. Roomy and comfortable. It has everything included from the kitchen the beach. A spotless hot tub. And the owners are so lovely and accommodating. The location is so beautiful too - a stunning beach and just five minutes from Nelson. Highly reccomend!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay — from the kitchen amenities to the hot tub and, of course, the beach. It means a lot to us that you felt comfortable and well taken care of. We’re especially thrilled that you’ve already booked for next year — we’re looking forward to welcoming you back!
The property was perfect and secluded. The deck and outside fire place was perfect for hanging out and taking in the amazing veiws! They have a nice beach with kayaks and a paddle boat available to use. We will definitely be back in the fall!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here as a getaway for my partner’s 30th. The deck area with hot tub was a particular highlight. The place was also ideal for our group of 8 and everyone had their own space. Would love to come back in the summer months!

Stayed with friends for a recent ski trip to Nelson. What a beautiful location! The hot tub on the deck is the perfect place to unwind after a busy day, and the view is phenomenal! Very well-appointed listing, and an extremely comfortable place to stay. Shelley was great to deal with and always quick to respond. We’re looking forward to staying here again!!!

A lovely Hide-A-Way!!
We rented the entire house and it worked out perfectly for our adult group of eight. The house was very clean and well furnished. The hot tub was wonderful, clean and placed in a great spot for viewing the lake. The kitchen was well stocked, and nice towels in the bathrooms. All of use agreed we would enjoy coming back here again.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. Please come back anytime. Even without the snow it sounds like you had a great stay.
The property is in a secluded neighborhood just outside Nelson right on the lake. By GPS it is a bit tricky to find, but less so if you follow the excellent directions provided by the host. We stayed three nights on a family ski trip to Whitewater. I would not hesitate to stay there again.
The house and location are perfect for a family getaway.
its a little bit off the beaten path which is perfect for privacy.
Unfortunately we had record breaking cold temperatures which kept us indoors but the large dining room table was perfect for us to stay indoors and play board games.
The view of the lake was stunning, I'm coming back in the summer and take advantage of the beach access!

The perfect place for our family to meet up
My sister and I went back home to Nelson with our families and stayed in the Cali suite.
It was so perfect for us and we really enjoyed our stay. The house is lovely and filled with beautifully curated art. The beach was just what we were hoping for. The seclusion and water views made even the rainy days awesome for watching the birds and deer. Every one of us including all the adult children were very impressed with the place and are planning to return. Very nice stay.
