    A beautiful property. The outdoor amenities provided by the owners were perfect for relaxation in the stunning location. The covered seating and hammocks were so appreciated. The dock and beach are so convenient for playing on the lake. Lana and Darrell were very communicative and so accommodating and kind to us.

    We stayed with Lana and Darrell summer 2025. This property is beautiful. Easily accessible. The private beach and dock we particularly enjoyed. The set up was very thoughtful, as they had plenty to of outdoor space and chairs/loungers for our use. Lana and Darrell were extremely helpful, especially when we ended up getting a flat tire. Would definitely stay again!

    Even having an area power outage ( which happens) the cottage was super clean, lots of fans to keep cool. Beach was well maintained. Our super nice hosts even set up a ping pong table for us outside. Above and beyond Little ways from towns but nice to get away from it all and hang with family and skunks Thanks for hosting us Zuks

    Lana is a great host. The location of perfect for day trips to hotsprings, waterfalls, beaches, the ferry over to Crawford Bay and the artisans there. So much to see and do. Just a short drive from Nelson. The private Waterfront cabin is a good place to unwind and enjoy family time. Paddleboard off the dock, fish, play some badminton. Loved it.
