About this property
Rustic luxury in the wilderness, by the beach with lake views
Note: Three premium days in July and one premium August week just opened up due to emergency cancellations!
"Duncan Lake Escape" while being truly a four season location, from blissful sunny summer activities from hiking the numerous trails, all manner or beach activities, and the lovely Kootenay fall and spring seasons, it also truly shines as a winter wonderland! From cross country skiing right out your door, snow shoeing, down hill skiing in Nelson, and world class snow mobile trails abound!
Once your day is done, have a soak in the 6 person top end hot tub, and have a splash in the warm outdoor shower!
This extremely high end "rustic" cottage has been described by many guests as the "most romantic place they've ever been!" “Duncan Lake Escape” is privately located near this secluded unpopulated lake and the Purcell Mountains. Set in a forest meadow only a 2 minute stroll from the shores of Duncan Lake, renowned has the best fishing lake in the Kooteney’s barn none, you will discover this finely crafted cottage, outfitted and finished to perfection! Using a blend of beautiful cherry, walnut, oak, cedar and pine wood throughout, it also sports a highly modern country kitchen for the serious holiday chef!
Enjoy the complete wilderness experience in rustic luxury, nothing but the sound of the birds, the breeze and nature!
Complete with traditional-looking (new) Heartland propane cook stove with convection oven, dishwasher and microwave and a quality BBQ on the deck provides outdoor cooking for alfresco dining.
The cabin comes complete with internet, Netflix, wide screen smart TV with sound bar and sub woofer, quality stereo, blue ray player, indoor and outdoor speakers and telephone (no cell service available). Note: iPhone users can receive and send calls with the wifi calling feature turned on.
Sit by the large out door fire pit, enjoy the outdoor shower, or soak in the hot tub under the Northern Lights dancing overhead. This is your chance to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and enjoy some well deserved relaxation in any of the four seasons of the year.

About the host
Hosted by Paul

Hi! As a fellow who loves the outdoors and anything nature, I built this cabin over a 3 year period. As a wood worker, I literally dreamed of and put all of my finest woods and skills into this project! Initially, I built is solely for myself and my family, so it is definitely not built to "rental spec". But instead to nurture peace, warmth and comfort in any and all seasons and weather! I hope my quests can experience the same feelings as I do each and every time I arrive!
Why they chose this property
In looking for the perfect location to purchase property in a unique and away from it all locale, be surrounded by all the the wilderness and nature has to offer, I discovered the unique "flavour" of Howser! While there are a dozen neighbouring properties, none are in view, as they are all acreages. I was lucky enough to wait till the most lovely acreage steps from a lovely swimming beach came along, and have never tired of it since!
What makes this property unique
Absolute silence, end of the road location, no distance highway noise, trains, light pollution ..... just the sounds of the wind and the birds!
