Vacation
A quiet and relaxing getaway. This property has everything you need. The area is quiet and peaceful. The neighbours are kind and helpful. The propane tank was empty so the neighbour took it and filled it for us. We were close to the beach which was nice.

Everything and more for an epic vacation
We stayed in the cabin for a month, and this cabin was *everything*. It was the perfect place for our kiddos and grandkids to come and visit, for us to enjoy the mountains, and to truly relax. Everything you need- from beach towels to laundry was there, making it so you could just enjoy. Cannot say enough good things.

Amazing
This property was perfect for our family for a week getaway. Great area for the young ones to play as we watched from the deck above. The beach is a very short drive and great for swimming. They provide everything you could possibly need for you stay. The hosts were extremely friendly and very accomodating. We would definltey love to book again in the future.

Paradise retreat
Our family stayed for a week and could not have asked for a more wonderful place to stay. The property and home were beautiful with great views and walking vicinity to the lake. The home had over and above all of the amenities required for our stay. The house is extremely inviting with a very calming aura. I would 100% recommend!!!

Perfect for Family Getaway
This was by far the best equipped VRBO we have stayed at. The kitchen was fully equipped, there was plenty of wood for the fire pit and the location was very peaceful. The house had plenty of space for everyone with 3 bedrooms on three separate floors. My adult son had the entire basement to himself and my mom had her own bedroom and bathroom. We appreciated the beach across the road. We were the only ones there for most of the week and felt comfortable leaving our kayaks on the beach. The neighbors were friendly and helpful. We loved this week away.

Mountain Getaway
This beautiful property is a hidden gem! Situated in a resort community north of Creston, it is finished in a rustic but upscale log home style. Bedrooms are spacious with a full bath on every level. Kitchen has plenty of workspace, granite topped island and outfitted with everything you need for cooking. The view of the lake is stunning and there is a beautiful wraparound deck on the main level, private deck off the master and lower level outdoor space with a firepit. We were able to bring our pets and there are plenty of places to walk in the community. We loved every minute of our stay in this cozy cabin!

Great property with everything you need
Six of us stayed here from June 30th to July 5th. Perfect area close enough to drive in the 50 mins to golf in Creston. 15 mins north is Kokanee Springs golf course and the Balfour golf course is just a 20 min drive to the ferry and a 35 min ferry ride across the lake. 10 min drive south to the Glass house 15 min drive north to Crawford Bay 20 min drive south to beautiful white sand Twin Bays beach. Plenty of space for 4 adults and 2 children with all the things you need to make your vacation feel like home. There was not one item missing from the fully stocked kitchen as there was even a salad spinner. Plenty of towels and bedding throughout the house. This property will not disappoint as I rate it a 9/10 with the only way to make it a 10 would be if it was on the waterfront.

Had a perfect two-family vacation
We stayed here for a family vacation and it was the perfect size for two couples and a few small children (ages 3-5). The cabin is right at the end of a quiet road and has a beautifully spacious front facing deck that lets you watch almost the whole property, so the kids were free to run and play while the adults relaxed a bit. (Though worth mentioning there are some high rock wall terraces that would not be great for toddler age kids.) Inside and out the cabin was generously furnished and very spacious. The kitchen was super well stocked and we didn't lack for anything when we were cooking. It might be worth bringing a spare propane tank if you are planning to BBQ frequently, as it can be hit or miss to get propane refilled without making the drive back into Creston. We really enjoyed the Glass House, the very close Lockhart Beach, the sandier but slightly farther beach in Crawford Bay, and the day trip we took into Nelson via the ferry. Definitely a fantastic experience and quite likely we will be back in the future!

Comfortable cabin in a peaceful, beautiful setting.
We very much enjoyed our quiet mountain get-away at the mountain shores cabin. It provided ample space (3 beds, 3 bathrooms) for our family. Quiet morning coffee on the beautiful deck and walks around the neighbourhood were a great way to relax in the serene setting of the beautiful Kootenay area. The lake was warm, even on cooler days and we loved that it is not a busy, touristy area. The kitchen included every item you could ever need and everything was in great condition. Thanks so much for allowing us to rent this incredible property. We’d love to visit this area again sometime.

Beautiful BC Property
We really enjoyed our stay here. It is a great house, with lots of space and an amazing patio. The kitchen is really well stocked with everything you need for cooking. The property is about a 10 minute walk from the beach, which is a lovely spot for swimming and spending the day near the water.
