About this property

Cottage in "The Woods Nelson" with Lake Views

Located on 15 acres, this cozy cottage offers panoramic views of Nelson’s mountains and Kootenay Lake. Watch the sun rise over the mountains, then walk through the forest on the property to access the private beach on Kootenay Lake. Hitting the slopes? You’re not far–Whitewater Ski Resort is a 30-minute drive. In the evening, soak in the hot tub or lounge by the fire. Stay connected if you need to with Starlink Wi-Fi. Ideal for couples and families looking to unwind. Life is better in The Woods.

The space
Welcome to The Woods!

The cottage features an open concept kitchen, dining, and living space. The kitchen has everything you’ll need for a quiet dinner at home, including spices.

Large windows line the dining and living area. Enjoy the breathtaking view while you eat at the dining table or curl up by the wood stove in the living room. For your entertainment, there is a TV with a DVD player and a large DVD library, Apple TV (Netflix provided), and games. Children’s toys and equipment are available upon request.

There is a washer and dryer in a closet just off the kitchen.

The 3-piece bathroom has a standing shower.

Sleeping arrangements:
• Main bedroom: Queen sized Murphy bed. Fold up during the day to transform the room into a functional office space.
• Second bedroom: Queen sized Murphy bed. Fold up during the day to transform the room into a functional office space.
• Living room: Queen size pullout sofa bed. A 4-inch mattress topper is available upon request.

Directly outside the cottage are your dedicated outdoor spaces. These include front and back decks, a private back yard, and a fire pit. All are excellent venues for enjoying the picturesque setting, day or night.

A short walk from the cottage is a 7-person hot tub overlooking the mountains and lake. Take in the sights as your stress seeps away. Please note that this amenity is shared with the other dwellings on the property.

Our property is privately positioned with no neighbours in sight. You can hear the sound of the creek in your backyard and catch an occasional glimpse of roaming elk, deer, and even turkeys. A 10-minute walk through the forest takes you to a secluded beach on the shores of Kootenay Lake.

The cottage is dog friendly. Guidelines for dogs are as follows:
• Please do not leave your dog unattended in the cottage (unless crated) or tied up outside
• Please do not allow your dog to roam the property unattended
• Pet fee applies

Location highlights:
• 15 minutes to downtown Nelson
• 15 minutes to the Great Northern Rail Trail in Nelson (for walking, hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing)
• 20 minutes to Nelson Nordic Ski Club
• 30 minutes to Whitewater Ski Resort
• 50 minutes to Ainsworth Hot Springs
• 55 minutes to RED Mountain Resort

Spacious Cottage with a view

We had a fantastic stay with all the comforts of home. Nestled off to the side of the property, big windows to enjoy the view, and ample space to relax. Having a full kitchen for preparing meals makes such a difference. We were on motorcycles, so it was a convenient location to get in the various day rides in the area - with an added day to spend in Nelson.
