Lovely Rental
Our family of four adults traveled to Nelson to ski at Whitewater. We absolutely loved Chara's Railtown Suite. Spacious, comfortable, well appointed, and just a really homey feel. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Walking distance to bakeries, restaurants and shopping. The main bedroom was very spacious with a sitting area (couch and chair) and the bed was very comfortable. Second bedroom is off the living area, also with a very comfortable bed and decorated so nice. Spacious bathroom with everything we needed...lotion, shampoo, hair dryer, etc. Very clean. Kitchen had everything you would need to cook a meal at home, which we did not do because we wanted to try some of the local dining establishments. The fridge stocked with condiments and coffee creamer. And the cupboards were stocked with just about anything you might need. We loved our stay here. We were especially grateful for the warm homemade sourdough that was waiting on the counter for us when we arrived. How did she know that we are crazy for sourdough? Such a nice touch. We want to come back next year and stay in this exact spot.Thank you Chara for your amazing hospitality and for your quick responses to my questions. You really made us feel at home.

Fantastic apartment in awesome location
The apartment provided a delightfully comfortable and convenient start to our trip. It had everything we needed for our 4 night stay. It was beautifully appointed and such an easy short stroll to the main strip of Nelson. Chara was an excellent communicator. Would love to stay again and highly recommend.

Cozy in the Rain
While the rain didn't keep us from exploring, it was nice to home base out of this extremely convenient location--not to mention it was well stocked and super cozy (2 gas fire places!). The only down side is that you can hear the upstairs neighbors. They weren't noisy, just normal footfall and drifting conversations make their way down. But if you don't have a person in group particularly tuned into those things, it shouldn't affect your stay. You have to expect some upstairs noise when you're situated on a lower floor. Overall a great place: great communication with the owner, very clean, fun to watch the trains, everything we needed and more for a carefree mini-vacation. Thank you!

Tucked away slice of paradise
Stayed in the upper loft last year but the Railtowm suite is just as charming and so well appointed. Chara’s genuine hospitality and eye for style and amenities make for an amazing stay. Location is fantastic, walk everywhere, so no fuss with pay parking or trouble in even finding a spot near Baker St. You won’t even notice the train and they are fun to see up close.

The suite exceeded expectations and was roomy, cute and well stocked. Trains were right outside the window but quiet and fun to see, they didn’t disrupt our sleep at all. Super close to trendy baker street and good restaurants and cute shops. Highly recommend.

Charming hidden gem
Loved our stay here! Cozy, comfortable and charming decor, with all necessities supplied. Before arriving, we were a bit worried about being so close to the train tracks, but it wasn’t an issue at all. A couple of trains went by while we were there but they are very slow moving and quiet. It was fun to see them up close. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Great location!
Our group of 4 had a short 2 night stay. This central location allowed us to walk everywhere and explore Baker Street. Beds were comfortable and we had all amenities needed for a pleasant stay. Chara welcomed us by leaving a delicious fresh baked load of sourdough bread along with oil/vinegar. She was a clear and prompt communicator. This listing is just as pictured and roomier than expected.

Thank you Chara! You have clearly put in place homey touches that were noticed. Coming in exhausted I appreciated your care. Had room to spread out and regroup in beautiful Nelson.

Gosh. I can’t say enough good things about Railtowne Lofts. By far our favourite place to stay. An extension of home with all the accouchements and then some. Beautifully presented, spotless and elegant. Perfectly located so you can walk anywhere in town. A place you will have on your favourites list for sure.

Two retired guys up from Lower Canada playing along the Powder Highway while our knees and hips can still manage. The property is a little tricky to find, but the location is great! The views … Spectacular mountains across a rail yard. Super convenient to the restaurants and shops in downtown Nelson, and the apartment is well fitted out.

Cozy, Chick, and Convenient
We stayed here over New Year's Eve weekend after skiing Whitewater during the week. This place is really cozy for two couples to hang out - we watched lots of YouTube ski movies together after we had walked the town for dinner and drinks. Could hear the neighbors above but hey it was NYE and we were all up. Kitchen is perfectly stocked to make a little breakfast and even comes with tea and coffee and creamer! Chara has a knack for decorating, this place just feels like a dreamy vacation!

Great stay and awesome location.
Railside suite was perfect for our stay. Chara did a great job providing us with everything we may need. The information booklet she had with places to visit or eateries. Railside suite was located within walking distance of all the shops, restaurant's and coffee shops. Also if you are up for it you can take on the walking tours to see some of the many historical sites around Nelson. One restaurant she recommended was our favorite. Incredible Brisket you know who you are. We will definitely be booking another stay in Nelson with Chara. Thank you Chara for making our stay very memorable. S. Fuller
