Very pleasant location - far enough outside of Nelson (about 2 miles) that you felt like you were not in town, but close enough to easily get to stores/restautants/museums/dog parks. Leaves were beautiful (it was October) - we really enjoyed our stay!

Shelley was a great host! Great communication, and made it easy to reach out if we needed anything. The location was perfect for a family trip, and the house was better than advertised. The hot tub was especially great after a day of skiing. The view was incredible too. We would definitely stay again!

Christmas Ski vacation

Beautiful setting in a very fun little ski town. Hot tub was amazing after a day on the slopes! Our only small complaints were bed was a little uncomfortable and the upstairs living room was small making it hard to hang out as a group. Overall great stay and would return.

We always aim to offer a 5-star experience, so if there was anything we could’ve done differently, I’d really appreciate your feedback. Wishing you all the best, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here as a getaway for my partner’s 30th. The deck area with hot tub was a particular highlight. The place was also ideal for our group of 8 and everyone had their own space. Would love to come back in the summer months! Liam

A lovely Hide-A-Way!!

We rented the entire house and it worked out perfectly for our adult group of eight. The house was very clean and well furnished. The hot tub was wonderful, clean and placed in a great spot for viewing the lake. The kitchen was well stocked, and nice towels in the bathrooms. All of use agreed we would enjoy coming back here again.
