SEND US YOUR DATES!
Breathtaking views await you when you stay in our newly transformed chalet style tiny home. Spend your time enjoying the large cedar deck overlooking Kootenay lake, the beautiful farms of Harrop / Proctor and the majestic mountains beyond.
INDOORS
The cabin features a bright open space with kitchenette, living, dining, bath and queen sized loft.
Relax and unwind in the brand new bathroom with a large rainfall spa shower perfect for after a long hike or day at the beach.
Lounge on the queen sized sectional sofa bed in the living room, enjoying the mountain views or get cozy, raise the automatic tv and take in a movie.
The fully outfitted kitchenette features a full sized retro fridge and microwave, infrared burner, convection oven (It does it all - rotisserie, air fryer, toaster, dehydrator etc.), blender, 2 coffee makers, (french press and drip), kettle and everything else you need for cooking.
the cabin features a ductless heat / Ac unit for you to control to your optimal temperature. Stay cool in the summer and toasty in the winter.
OUTDOORS
The deck is truly magical, once you are on it you'll never want to leave.
Watch the eagles sore above relaxing in the zero gravity chairs. Enjoy dinner at the picnic table after a long day of exploring the Kootenays and cook it on your 4 burner Coleman bbq.
LOCATION
We are located on a picturesque 20 acres property perched on the side of the mountain overlooking Kootenay lake, Harrop / Proctor and offering spectacular views of the Selkirk mountains. Hiking, mountain biking and various other outdoor activities are just at your door step. Enjoy great snowmobiling in the winter and ziplining in the summer. We are within 10 mins of beautiful beaches for relaxing and swimming. Rent a paddle board or kayak and explore the waters of our beautiful area.
we are located approx.
NELSON -20-25 MINS - Enjoy the scenic route beside Kootenay lake driving to and from the city center of nelson, where you will find many incredible restaurants, cafes, artisanal stores, live music venues, multiple weekly markets and loads more! happy to offer our recommendations.
BALFOUR & KOOTENAY FERRY -5 MINS - Enjoy the spectacular journey across our beautiful lake to Crawford bay. It is the longest free ferry in the world and is definitely worth the trip.
AINSWORTH HOT SPRINGS - 15-20 MINS - Head to the hot springs for a little relaxation in their natural mountain water fed cave. Relax and let the hot mineral water melt away your pain after a long day of activities. Don't forgot to enjoy dinner at their restaurant the Ktunaxa grill. The mussels are out of this world served on a sizzling platter with fresh bannock!
WHITEWATER SKI RESORT - 45 MINS - World class skiing is not far away. Considered a backcountry ski / snowboarders dream, the powder at White water is epic. Part of the famous powder highway, a trip to Whitewater should not be missed. Boasting over 1200cm (40 ft) of snow a year and a vertical of over 2000ft a full season could be spent there carving up the terrain.
KASLO - 30 MINS - Known as little Switzerland, this quaint town hosts one amazing Jazz festival. Check out the paddle wheeler museum, one of the original ferries on Kootenay lake.

Why they chose this property
THE NATURAL BEAUTY AND WONDER OF BC.
The cabin is located on a private 20 acre mountain side retreat. The wild life is majestic! Turkeys are always running a muck, deer are grazing grass in the morning and eagles are soaring above.
