About the host
Hosted by Chris Beecroft
Jen, Chris and family purchased the home partially constructed and have been working on completing it over the last eight years. We relish in our time away at the cabin. We enjoy it so much we wanted to share it with others and help pay for ongoing expenses.
Why they chose this property
We loved camping in the Invermere and Windermere Area but found the area to be a bit busy for us. A friend's parents own a place at Columbia Ridge Estates and we vacationed there with them. When we stumbled upon the area 7 years later we fell in love with the quiet location but appreciated that it was close enough to day trip to the bigger centres of Invermere, Kimberley, and Panorama.
What makes this property unique
We fell in love with having the view of the lake from the front window and then the base of the mountain just out the other side of the property. The wildlife is abundant with Bighorn Sheep, Bald Eagles, Deer, Elk, Bears and even the aloof Cougar. The stars from the deck are amazing and the kids often camp out on the deck with their air mattresses.
