Stayed Aug 15, 2023As it says a cute and cozy cottage. We were visiting our son in Nelson. Arik and Michelle are excellent hosts with great communication pre and while we were there. Very responsive to any questions we had. It was so nice to have some fresh fruit on arrival and some milk in the fridge as well as basic condiments. Nice to sit outside on the porch and just a great relaxing vibe. Well equipped with a bbq and anything you need to cook indoors. Comfortable beds and great to have the washer and dryer! All round an excellent property on the outskirts of town by very easily accessible.

Stayed Jan 2, 2025Stayed in the cabin for a week. The hosts are awesome and so was our stay. The cabin is in a great location and had everything a person needed to be comfortable. Pet friendly and a pet friendly neighborhood too. The bonfire pit on the front lawn was so much fun. Thanks guys….I’ll be back for sure!

Stayed Jul 4, 2024We visited Nelson in early July 2024. This cottage is set against a mountain forest with a bear feasting on cherries some nights. It's near the town of Nelson, but the property is more level than much of Nelson, and has plenty of parking space, relative seclusion, and a great place for a dog to roam without being close to a highway. Our hosts, Aric and Meesh, were wonderful and offered us fresh lavender from their garden. There is cut firewood and a fire ring if you like to sit by campfire. The cottage is simple, but clean and has all amenities including full kitchen and bathroom that includes washer and dryer. We enjoyed mornings on the porch drinking coffee and the proximity to everything in town. I highly recommend this retreat for your lodging needs near Nelson.

Stayed May 24, 2024This was a great location for our day trips to halcyon and ainsworth Hot springs. Also a nice hike along the Kaslo River and a tour of the Moyie Sternwheeler. The hosts are very accommodating, responsive, and kind. We cooked a lot of meals in the home, and there are lots of pots and pans, cooking and eating utensils, salt and pepper, and food basics like butter, olive oil, condiments. No microwave, so keep that in mind. We would love to come back to the area and stay more nights.
