Beautiful location!

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.

Relaxing getaway in the 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.

Lovely cottage right on the water

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.

Beautiful property & cabin in a perfect location!

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 :)
