Absolutely fantastic remodel on the house. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. Kitchen is superb. Showers and soaker tub are worth the stay. Very enjoyable stay.

We had a great time. We cooked in a lot, and the kitchen worked well. The bed was comfy, and it helped to have fans available since there was a unique heat wave during our stay.You might check out the shower situation, using some of the faucets caused me to have to mop the floor. All in all it was a good stay
You can tell a lot of thought, and love, went into making Wrens house a very comfortable and homey place. Kitchen was very well stocked with lots of choice of dishes, cooking equipment, spices, etc. The house was very clean. One of the beds was quite hard, and Wren was willing to look for a solution. People that like firm beds may find it ok.We did not use the outside area, but there is a little balcony and barbecue.All in all a very nice day in a safe neighbourhood fairly close to town.
Visited with 2 daughters who live in Nelson. House is close to one of theirs. Little grandkids came to stay with us. House is very comfortable & well equipped. Easy to get around area .
Such a nice place to spend time in. The place was super clean, and very functional for cooking. Really nice welcoming details like fresh flowers, and spices in the cabinets. Will definitely come back in the future.
We were so fortunate to find this spotlessly clean, comfortable and newly renovated studio to call home on our recent visit to Nelson. Very roomy and so well appointed, thank you Wren we were very happy.
Very nicely renovated home. It was very clean and cozy. Well stocked with kitchen needs and spices. Beds were super comfortable and linens and towels were plenty. Quiet area and easy distance to get to places. Wren was excellent with communications, and on top of things. Thanks for the stay!
We were very excited to get to stay in this lovely home for a second time. It is quickly becoming a home away from home while in the area. This was our first summer visit and the kids loved the splash park just down the street and the ceiling fans in the bedrooms went a long way to keeping us cool.
My husband, son and I had a great trip skiing at Whitewater and staying in Nelson. Wren’s place was perfect for us. It was extremely clean and the kitchen was well stocked. We look forward to our next trip.
Stayed here with my wife and two children for a week in September. The house is beautifully renovated and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It's in a quiet part of Nelson and the nearby playground was a hit with our 3 year old. Fairly easy walk to downtown which we did a couple of times and bus stop is also nearby. Would definitely go back next time we're in town.
We all greatly enjoyed our stay. The host was very responsive and the place was so lovely with lots of homie touches. It is located in a quiet neighbourhood which made everyone feel safe and relaxed. The shower and bath tub were a really bonus. We all enjoyed our stay and it quickly became a home away from home.
My husband and our 3 year old stayed at Wren's place over New Years and had a wonderful time.
It's newly and beautifully renovated and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay with our toddler. We all especially enjoyed the deep bath tub after a day of skiing and the huge shower! The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking there but we chose to take the 20 minute walk to Baker Street and lots of delicious restaurants most nights.
Would highly recommend and would love to stay again.
