The property was larger than anticipated and very pretty. We loved the views! It had everything we needed for a very enjoyable Thanksgiving weekend. We even rented a boat from Jones Boys Boats in Ainsworth and had a great day out on Kootenay Lake.
We had an amazing time at lake cabin. The place was clean and comfortable. The view from the lake was beautiful. We spent plenty of our time by the water/dock. Balfour ferry and amenities were just a few minutes away by foot or even just paddle/kayak there. We definitely recommend this place and we plan to stay there again on our next getaway. Thank you Jill, you have a beautiful place.
Wonderful cottage with two comfy bedrooms and fabulous deck and private water access. Kitchen is fully stocked and there are loads of board games to enjoy as well. The host was responsive with my query about arriving late. Beautiful, special location.
Great find! This is a well appointed cabin and deck that made our stay very comfortable and relaxing. Friendly neighborhood made us feel at home.
You will not be disappointed with a choice of this property for your stay in the Balfour area! Perfectly situated for trips into Nelson, Kaslo or over to Crawford Bay this property has it all. There was not one thing missing from this well appointed cabin - literally everything you need right here in this beautiful spot for the days you just want to hang out at the lake or on the expansive deck to watch the ferries pass by. I cannot say enough good things about Jill's property, including her amazing contact and communication when needed. Highly recommend - we will be back ASAP! Thank you :)
We had a amazing stay with out family of 4 at this beautiful property and rustic charm cabin on Kootenay lake. The place had everything we needed for our stay and we would absolutely return in the future!
Outstanding! Perfect setting, all amenities made it so comfortable and Jill was so great to work with. Would do this again in a heartbeat.
Beautiful spot and cozy place, would stay here again.
The cottage was cozy, equipped with all the amenities, including plenty of board games. Our kids had a blast outside, roasting marshmallows on the bonfire. Jill answered my inquiries timely and showed she genuinely cared about our stay.
The first time we came to Jill's in 2020 we didn't stay long. We were so impressed with the whole place that we knew we had to come back and stay longer so we did. Everything you needed was there. The cottage was warm and cozy and clean. The yard and views of the mountains also awesome. We had an enjoyable 14 days and hope to come again. Thank you Jill
