This rare private Kootenay lakefront cottage in British Columbia is nestled at the end of a quiet no-thru road and does not share the property with any other residences. It is located at the sheltered Queens Bay which has the warmest water on Kootenay Lake and is only 30 minutes between Nelson and Kaslo just north of the Balfour Ferry Terminal. Guests should not worry about noise as the ferry is only seen when it is mid way across the lake and the cottage is situated well away from the roadway. The completely renovated 700 Sq ft cottage sleeps to 6 people with two bedrooms including a Queen bed, two single beds, and a futon sofa bed.

The inside of the cottage has plenty of natural wood accents and is bright with large windows looking out to the lake. The new large deck with patio table/chairs and the sheltered BBQ area is a fantastic place to enjoy the vast lake and Purcell Mountain views with a morning coffee. The fully equipped kitchen has a fridge, stove/oven, microwave, and a bottled water-cooler. There is a full bathroom with a large shower. Everything that guests will need in the cabin is supplied including all bedding, linens and towels, a TV, Blue-ray/DVD, and WiFi. Reviews from past guests at this cottage show hosts will provide a relaxing, clean and memorable accommodation and have been doing so since 2004.

Guests can spend days at the beach with a swim dock and a campfire or head out and explore what the area has to offer. For day trips there are the heritage towns of Nelson and Kaslo with shops and restaurants that are unique to these towns and hold stunning views. Guests can also take one of the worlds longest free ferry rides to the East Shore to find more one of a kind artisans and places to hike and explore.

Ainsworth is a 20 minute drive and the beautiful Balfour Golf Course is an easy ten minute walk from the cottage. Cave exploring, fishing charters, hiking, mountain biking and zip-lining are close by for guests to take part in. An easy stroll along the trail that follows the beach from the cottage takes you to Balfour where you will find two pubs, a diner, a bakery, a grocery store with a liquor outlet and the ferry.

Guests should feel free to contact the hosts with any questions about either the cottage or the surrounding areas and all of its activities. Hosts will kindly email a copy of the Day Trip Distance & Activity package.

The property includes a large sundeck overlooking the stunning waters of Kootenay Lake, complete with deck chairs and tables for lounging and soaking in the sun. Book your dream holiday glamping rental near Nelson today!
