About this property

Cedar Cottage, a private and cozy experience

The Cedar Cottage is a 1 bedroom, cozy and romantic cottage with all the needed amenities. Numerous windows allow ample light in with the feeling of being nestled in the trees. A covered garage is provided for guests to park. Beautiful deck nestled in the cedars with glimpses of the Purcell Mountain range and Kootenay Lake. Access world class mountain bike trails or walk the river trail right from the Cedar Cottage.

We know how much people love to travel with their pets. Cedar Cottage is dog friendly and are happy to accomodate one dog, if you have two please check with us first before booking. Dogs cannot be left unattended in cottage unless in a crate, cannot be on the furniture or bed and must be on leash when outside. We do charge a one time $25 fee for dogs.

Kaslo is internationally known for its easy to moderate access to stunning recreational activities in the Selkirk and Purcell mountains. Winter recreation is abundant with close access to snowshoe and nordic ski trails. Time it right and you may have outdoor skating on the numerous local lakes. Many of Kaslo’s mountain bike trails transform into winding winter trails through the forest for snowshoeing. Close access to backcountry alpine skiing terrain in the Selkirk mountains. The vacation rental is a 2 minute drive from Kaslo and its amenities. Kaslo has a variety of restaurants, grocery store, butcher, liquor store and the Kaslo Adventure Center where you can pick up any winter supplies needed or rent nordic skis. After a day of outside activities soak at the Ainsworth Hot Springs resort just 15 minute drive away.

Unfortunately we were only able to stay for one night at the cottage but we found the stay very relaxing. Cottage is easy to access but still somewhat secluded. Watching the sun come up above the mountains in the morning was spectacular.

Did not disappoint

Everything about this property exceeded expectations. The cabin itself was very comfortable and very clean The decor and attention to detail outside and in the cabin were enjoyed. The feeling of being in the trees and the privacy really made this the vacation I was looking for. I would definitely go back again. Thank you to the wonderful hosts.

What a gem. Close to town for convenience to shopping and dining. Removed enough to feel surrounded by nature. It’s cozy and well equipped with everything you need to stay. Host so kind and communicative as well. Pet friendly and equipped with bags and trash to clean up after your pet. There are steps into all entrances from the side and front of cabin so consider if any physical limitations. The bathroom is on the porch and you must go outside and down stone steps to enter. It is well equipped and host provided a torch to use when navigating at night. Kitchen has all you need to prepare a simple meal - we enjoyed a breakfast after shopping in the local market, Close to the Hotsprings to go on a day pass and come home for a relaxing night sleep. Bed was comfortable and cozy. Host is lovely and the cottage is sweet , we truly enjoyed our stay!

About the host

Hosted by meleana terlingen

Host profile image
The owners Meleana and Thomas have had this property for 26 years. The cottage was built by the family in 2017. Meleana is a high school teacher/counsellor and Thomas is a local landscaper and gardner. Thomas and Meleana love living the Kootenay Dream where much of their year is spent doing a variety of outdoor activities in the surrounding area.

Why they chose this property

Kaslo has often been coined "Little Switzerland" as it shares similarities of many Swiss villages; nestled at the base of the Selkirk Mountains, facing Kootenay lake and the Purcell Mountains also known as the BC Rockies. Guests will enjoy views of the snow capped Purcell mountains from various sitting areas of the rental.

What makes this property unique

Kaslo is internationally known for its easy to moderate access to stunning recreational activities in the Selkirk and Purcell mountains. Spring, summer and fall recreation is abundant with local access to walking, hiking and mountain bike trails in and around Kaslo. From the Cedar Cottage you will have close access to backcountry hiking terrain in the Selkirk and Purcell mountains.

The vacation rental is a 2 minute drive from Kaslo and its amenities. Kaslo has a variety of restaurants, grocery store, butcher, micro-brewery The Angry Hen and a liquor store. At the Kaslo Adventure Center you can pick up any outdoor supplies needed or rent a kayak or SUP. The North Kootenay Bike shop has mountain bikes or electric bikes for rent and can arrange for a drop at the top of Mt. Buchannon to ride the infamous Friendly Giant trail.

After a day of outside activities head for any of Kaslo's local beaches for a swim or go for a soak at the Ainsworth Hot Springs resort just 15 minute drive away.
