Perfect base for your trip to the area
Lana is a great host. The location of perfect for day trips to hotsprings, waterfalls, beaches, the ferry over to Crawford Bay and the artisans there. So much to see and do. Just a short drive from Nelson. The private Waterfront cabin is a good place to unwind and enjoy family time. Paddleboard off the dock, fish, play some badminton. Loved it.

Lovely Holiday
We stayed with Lana and Darrell summer 2025. This property is beautiful. Easily accessible. The private beach and dock we particularly enjoyed. The set up was very thoughtful, as they had plenty to of outdoor space and chairs/loungers for our use. Lana and Darrell were extremely helpful, especially when we ended up getting a flat tire. Would definitely stay again!

Amazing relaxing vacation!
My 14-year-old daughter and I took a long road trip to stay at this cottage. We stayed for two weeks in July, and it was probably the most relaxing trip I have ever taken. The cottage and the property are exactly as pictured in the listing. It was an amazing place just to relax or go out and explore, and we did a little bit of both.
Each morning I drank coffee looking at the amazing view. We also brought a kayak with us, and since we were right on the lake, we were able to jump in day or night whenever we wanted. We went hiking, zip lining, visited the nearby hot springs, and spent a lot of time just relaxing. Lana and Darrell were very generous hosts. They made us feel incredibly welcome and provided us with everything we needed. Darrell even took the time to put air in my tire when I needed it.
I can't say enough about what an amazing trip this was and how wonderful Lana and Darrell are! If you have the chance to stay here, you definitely should. We will definitely be back!

A Great Family Getaway
We are very pleased with our recent stay at the cottage! It's a very cozy little place with lots of outdoor space for our one and four year old kids to explore. The cottage is very well maintained and clean. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating.
We were hoping we could avoid using the pull out couch with three adults and two small kids, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the larger bedroom was bigger than expected, we were able to fit a child's blow up mattress and a pack and play in the room with us.
Unfortunately water levels were very high during our stay, which covered the beach on the cottage side, but Lana made sure we felt welcome to use the beach on the lakehouse side which was perfect for our kids. We were able to beach our boat and tie it to a tree instead of using the dock which worked perfect. Darrell made sure we always had wood available for campfires and Lana made sure the kids wouldn't be bored by providing great toys. We brought our fire stick which worked great with their wi-fi.
This is a perfect spot for a small family, would definitely stay here again!

Had a lovely time at this sweet cabin. Lana and family were excellent hosts and ensured we had everything we needed. The place is set up perfectly for kids, with a sandy beach, toys and games for raining days and swings! Made for a relaxing time for Mom & Dad to enjoy the lovely patio and view. This area is our favourite place to visit every summer and we hope to stay at this cabin again next year!

The place was clean and cozy. Kitchen was great to have, all the tools we could need were there!
A few small details would have made it perfect. Lana was open to our suggestions (ie install fans instead of floor fans for cooling the rooms).
We really enjoyed our holiday!

Wonderful stay!
We had an awesome, relaxing stay at the cottage for a week.
Darrell and Lana were so amazing to deal with. The cabin was nice and clean, had everything we needed and more. A nice dock to fish off of and little beach for the kids to play. I had even packed a few things that I didn’t need to as they were at the cabin. We had a bit of an issue with our boat and had to deal with fixing it and Darrell and Lana were willing to lend a hand to rescue us in the water and even watch our son for a bit while we figured it out. Also they gave us some fresh cherries from their tree which were excellent!
They gave us our privacy but were always available when we needed them. We had a wonderful stay, thanks again Darrell and Lana 😊

Lovely Spot
We spent a week this summer at this property and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was exceptionally clean when we arrived and all was as advertised. The hosts were there to greet us and show us the amenities. It was hot during our stay, so we were glad that we had packed a couple of little fans, as that helped keep the nights cooler. The wifi was not working and cell service was fairly weak, but this must meant more time canoeing and enjoying the beautiful views of the lake. We were also glad to have brought our canoe, and were up and out on the lake each morning when the water was calm. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would certainly book again.

Thank you Morgan and family staying at our lakefront cottage last week! You were such wonderful family guests to have. We were so lucky to have you as our guests!
Thank you kindly for your feedbacks. We are sorry to hear wifi was not working during your stay. As we mentioned, wifi signals are nearby the side deck, smaller bedroom window and closer to the Lakehouse areas. Cell phone reception is stronger closer to the lake as cottage is in rural countryside areas on the lake. We know this because we stayed at our lakefront cottage a week before your arrival date and our iPhone, iPad and laptops worked with wifi on the side deck and other areas mentioned above when we checked in with work online. If we knew during your stay that you needed more fans, we would have brought them to you. We tried to leave all the privacy for your guests except we have to come to cut the grass and maintain the property and when we hear our guests need something. We will add more fans at the cottage. This August so far is unusually hot. Awesome for water sports and enjoying the outdoors on the lake!
Thank you again for staying with us and we will gladly welcome you back anytime. You are the dream guests any hosts would love to host. :) Enjoy the rest of the sunny summer ahead! :)
Warmest regards,
Lana and family
