Wonderful Get Away This property was a wonderful refuge for us as we explored Nelson! Rob was prompt to respond, and provided all the essentials for a lovely stay. Would definitely return if back in this area! Liked: cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Honeymoon Getaway We had an amazing time staying at Rob’s place! We stayed for our honeymoon and the property blew us away. Rob had a ton of great suggestions for things to see and places to go in the area. We loved it! Liked: cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Rob was an amazing host. Greeted me on arrival and gave me an orientation. The unit is spacious with an amazing view of Kootenay Lake. There is a private patio which offers a great vantage point. The property includes a stream snd waterfall, and had a visiting deer. The property is easy driving distance to the access road to Kokanee Lake, which is a must do. I highly recommend this propertg.

Relaxing The property is beautiful. Rob was very accommodating. Recommend sitting on the platform near the small water fall area. So relaxing. At night if the sky is clear take a moment to stare at the stars. During our last night we saw the Milky Way and multiple shooting stars.

Rob’s home is wonderful. There are beautiful details throughout the space and we found it to be perfectly peaceful and relaxing for a focus retreat. I feel rejuvenated! I cannot wait to return nor can I thank Rob enough for curating a lovely space.
Absolutely gorgeous property. Although the views from the upstairs bedroom were stunning, my absolute favorite place was sitting on the yoga platforms, surrounded by forest trees while listening to nothing but the brook flowing at the bottom of the hill. Robert understands the need to let go of the stress in our lives and provides the ideal peaceful environment to do so. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
I could rave on and on! The stay was picturesque, calming, and beautiful. Rob was an incredibly kind and generous host. Such a wonderful experience and sincerely hope to be back again soon. Thank you so much for everything!
Back to base was absolutely amazing. The location is so beautiful and Robert was such a great host. The photos are accurate but dont do it justice, it was just so much better in person. The only negative thing was we couldn't stay longer. The bed was so comfortable and you'll never want to get out of the shower. And be sure to look out the window at any point of the day to possibly see deer in the backyard.
Amazing stay with Robert at his remote paradise. Close enough to food and restaurants but far enough away that you truly feel relaxed. Epic views from the bedroom and attached lounge space. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the Nelson/Kaslo areas.
