Superb

Beautiful property, in a wonderful spot right near beaches and not too far from services. Great swimming spots, our little family (and Dog!) made so many great, wonderful new memories. Would love to return again - thanks Michael!

A great place to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Time on the deck at night was worth the trip. Close to Balfour and Nelson. Unbelievable view.

Great place on Kootney lake but you do share the private beach if someone else has rented the second cabin. A/C in the house would be nice on those hot days and warm nights.

Good place - but could be great!

We rented this cabin based on the fact it was 4 bedrooms and close proximity to a private beach. Pros: - amazing front deck with views of lake and mountains and ample sun and shade - Adequately set up for basic needs: towels, blankets, bbq, pots and pans -cabin is a good size to accommodate larger parties and not feel like you’re on top of each other (we are a family of 7) - use of private beach and 2 person kayak was highlight Could be better: - 4 beds, not 4 bedrooms - there are no curtains/blinds on windows in the bathroom or bedrooms and none of the doors close completely. Felt odd showering exposed to front and back yard. Lack of blinds allowed inside temps to get to 26/27 degrees well into the evening and hard to cool down with minimal opening windows/windows with screens - garbage/critters: there is no garbage storage/disposal on site. Full bags are loaded into personal vehicle and driven 2 kms down highway. Also had to deal with mice in the basement starting on the 2nd night resulting in ++cleaning, laundry, setting of traps etc. Frustrating when on vacation. - the private beach is shared with the other rental cabin so unfortunately we did not have it to ourselves until our last day - some rental “staples” would be nice: condiments, spices, different size skillets etc for larger groups, basic toiletries Lovely spot overall but for the price point I expected a bit more.

A great space for family/friends, with beach across the street.

We had a great stay with family. The kitchen had everything we needed and the large deck was very accommodating.
