Our stay in The Crows Nest was fantastic! Clean, bright, everything needed for our stay was there. The views from the deck, kitchen, living room and bedroom were enough to make us want to stay for a month. The attention to details and instructions to operate TV and audio were spot on. Perfect accommodations and location for our stay in Nelson.
