Dec 29, 2024 Liked: Communication, location Disliked: Check-in #### Not our best VRBO experience Unfortunately this wasn’t our best experience at a VRBO, for a couple of reasons. First the listing of 2 bathrooms is a bit misleading, as it’s just 1 shower, so sharing that among 6 adults was not ideal. Second you should just know the house feels very “lived in”, in terms of personal pictures, clothes in drawers, etc…some may be fine with that, it wasn’t a great fit for us. Third we found the cleanliness to be below the VRBO standard we’ve seen…dirty dishrag in the kitchen, vacuum left out downstairs, cobwebs in downstairs bedroom, etc..no top sheets on beds, so not really sure if duvet covers are being washed each time? Finally just know that nearest store/minimart is 15-20 minutes away, so even though across from Ainsworth Hot Springs “resort” there’s no gas/food there so plan accordingly! Host is friendly and I’m sure these items will be improved. ##### Dave S. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brent B.

Aug 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Beautiful views of Kootenay Lake! The house was very comfortable for two couples who loved to kayak, swim and hike. The garden was full of plants and flowers. The yard lead to a small beach which was perfect for launching our kayaks. The kitchen was setup well and we cooked most of our meals at the VRBO. Janice was easy to communicate with and she made sure we were familiar with the house, yard and the surrounding areas. Highly recommended! ![Morning coffee](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/070bd764-95bb-484f-8d54-977d7ee468ce-1755722574130.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Diane T.
