This well-appointed, clean space was the perfect arrangement for our family of four. We enjoyed the access to hiking, biking and lakeside activities during our stay.
The property is recently renovated, very clean, and very well equipped. It was great for two couples. Wren was very responsive to every query. Overall, a great stay!
Visited with 2 daughters who live in Nelson. House is close to one of theirs. Little grandkids came to stay with us. House is very comfortable & well equipped. Easy to get around area .
We were so fortunate to find this spotlessly clean, comfortable and newly renovated studio to call home on our recent visit to Nelson. Very roomy and so well appointed, thank you Wren we were very happy.
Such a nice place to spend time in. The place was super clean, and very functional for cooking. Really nice welcoming details like fresh flowers, and spices in the cabinets. Will definitely come back in the future.
We all greatly enjoyed our stay. The host was very responsive and the place was so lovely with lots of homie touches. It is located in a quiet neighbourhood which made everyone feel safe and relaxed. The shower and bath tub were a really bonus. We all enjoyed our stay and it quickly became a home away from home.
Wren's house is full of little luxuries that I wouldn't expect from a vacation rental - eg robes, decadent body lotions and soaps, candles, towels galore, fresh flowers, netflix account ready to use.... and many more home comforts.
My two teenage kids and I had a relaxing five days here, great location for exploring Nelson. No sounds from the renters below, very quiet street, and the house is immaculately clean.
Highly recommend.
We named the property "Minty House". Not just because of the color, but it was a refreshing stay for our family. Nelson, in and of itself, was great. We'd come back for sure.
But the city and region side, when I asked my 6 year old son what he liked best about the house he mentioned the time spent playing Settlers of Catan and watching a movie. He also loved the double shower, lol, of all the things. After full days out and about, the home was really comfortable. The ideal size and location for our family of 3.
The renovations are beautiful, the location was quiet but close to all the amenities and restaurants we wanted to visit.
We'd 100% recommend this VRBO for any of our small family friends or couples.
Thank you Wren!
Absolutely fantastic remodel on the house. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. Kitchen is superb. Showers and soaker tub are worth the stay. Very enjoyable stay.
You can tell a lot of thought, and love, went into making Wrens house a very comfortable and homey place. Kitchen was very well stocked with lots of choice of dishes, cooking equipment, spices, etc. The house was very clean. One of the beds was quite hard, and Wren was willing to look for a solution. People that like firm beds may find it ok.We did not use the outside area, but there is a little balcony and barbecue.All in all a very nice day in a safe neighbourhood fairly close to town.
Wonderful home. Had everything we needed and the house is immaculate. Would absolutely stay here again.

We had a great time. We cooked in a lot, and the kitchen worked well. The bed was comfy, and it helped to have fans available since there was a unique heat wave during our stay.You might check out the shower situation, using some of the faucets caused me to have to mop the floor. All in all it was a good stay
Nous avons adoré rester dans ce logement. C’était très grand et propre. Les lits sont confortables et c’est très bien décoré. Il y avait tout ce que nous avions besoin, incluant des serviettes de plage et robes de chambre. Nous nous sommes sentis comme à la maison mais en mieux. Très bien situé, parfait pour faire du vélo de montagne aux alentours.Merci pour ce beau séjour.
I cannot say enough great things about our Xtra stay here ! This place truly was a home away from home ! Very clean, cozy and so functional for relaxing, cooking , sleeping , the bathrooms are amazing. The location was perfect! Such a quiet area with beautiful scenery! We played many games at the kitchen table, cooked lots of meals inside and out and enjoyed the beautiful weather outside on the deck!
I highly recommend this place and truly hope we get the pleasure of staying here again ! Also there were chocolates, beautiful fresh flowers and cold seltzers when we arrived!
quiet area
Very nicely renovated home. It was very clean and cozy. Well stocked with kitchen needs and spices. Beds were super comfortable and linens and towels were plenty. Quiet area and easy distance to get to places. Wren was excellent with communications, and on top of things. Thanks for the stay!
It was very comfortable. We will definitely book it again. Very quiet.
