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.

Perfect place by Kootenay Lake!

Stayed with friends for a recent ski trip to Nelson. What a beautiful location! The hot tub on the deck is the perfect place to unwind after a busy day, and the view is phenomenal! Very well-appointed listing, and an extremely comfortable place to stay. Shelley was great to deal with and always quick to respond. We’re looking forward to staying here again!!!

Family Get together

The house and location are perfect for a family getaway. its a little bit off the beaten path which is perfect for privacy. Unfortunately we had record breaking cold temperatures which kept us indoors but the large dining room table was perfect for us to stay indoors and play board games. The view of the lake was stunning, I'm coming back in the summer and take advantage of the beach access!

Family Getaway

This stay was perfect for a family getaway consisting of four adults and our lab. We stayed for a few nights during the week, and there weren’t any guests in the adjacent suite so we had the beach to ourselves. Shelley, who recently purchased the property, was quick to communicate and address a few minor items for us. We would stay here again!

Annual Koots Trip

We do a trip a year to the Kootenays with another family, making us a large group of 9 plus 2 dogs. Finding the right property on the lake and close to biking plus town is critical to keeping everyone happy. The Hideway has it all and was the first property in 5 years to check all the boxes. We’ll be back!

Hidden Gem

The property is in a secluded neighborhood just outside Nelson right on the lake. By GPS it is a bit tricky to find, but less so if you follow the excellent directions provided by the host. We stayed three nights on a family ski trip to Whitewater. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

Enchanting Vacay

This property is beautiful and enchanting! My family had a fabulous time. Everything we needed was there. The beds were comfortable, the yellow bedroom had the softest sheets I've every slept on! The kitchen was fully stocked with every tool, appliance and utensil you would want! Jim and his family were kind and accommodating. He messaged me prior to our arrival and was available whenever I had questions. It was our first time in Nelson, so we spent a good portion of our time out and about. Next time, we want to plan less things to do so we can sit on that ginormous deck and relax.
