Response from VrboOwner on 19 Feb 2026
Glad you had such a good time with your family in our cosy house on the shores of Kootenay Lake, and that you loved skiing at Whitewater and our cool little town of Nelson! Thanks so much for leaving everything so tidy and clean- we could hardly tell that you had been here except for the cute snowman on the deck! Come back and stay anytime! The summer is also amazing at our house since we are right one the lake! Thanks Scott!
