Full Suite, Lake View, NEW DECK 2026, Forest Retreat, Full Kitchen, Laundry

Nestled in the woods overlooking Kootenay Lake in Balfour, BC is this tranquil, well equipped suite with dedicated entrance. Off the highway away from the noise. Hear the waves hit the shore from your window! Lake access is just a 3-5 minute walk. Balfour Golf Course and Ainsworth Hot Springs are nearby. Within 30 minutes of both Nelson and Kaslo, and just minutes from the ferry to the East Shore.

You will have the entire lower suite, with private entrance, of a top down duplex overlooking the lake.

NEW DECK 2026! As of May of 2026 there is now a front deck exclusively for guest use! Take in the morning sun or have an evening beverage with the spectacular lake view!

The suite has a queen bed in the bedroom and a queen sized sofa bed in the living room. There is a two-piece bathroom as well as a laundry room where the shower is located. The kitchen is spacious, fully equipped and has a large dining table that doubles as a workspace with a great lake view. The space is suited for a maximum of four adults. If you are booking for 5 adults, an extra person fee applies for the fifth adult. If you are booking for a family of 5 with 3 children, message me and I can remove the extra person fee.

The property is enclosed on three sides by mature trees, providing privacy and a forest vibe, keeping the unit cool during the hottest summer months, while also having lots of natural light.

Since taking possession of the property in late 2022 we continue to make steady improvements to the unit as we can afford them. Our guest experience matters to us. In Feb. 2025 we put new tile flooring in the bathroom and laundry areas, and replaced the old laundry appliances with a brand new stackable unit. We also added a new accent chair, dining table and new wall art throughout. We strive to add amenities for guests based on feedback.
