About this property
Cozy Log Cabin in Pristine Nature
Morning Star Cabin | Lake Views, Sauna & Forest Escape
Coffee with a view, fresh mountain air, and a cozy log cabin to call your own!
Welcome to Morning Star, a charming log cabin nestled on three forested acres overlooking Kootenay Lake, the mountains, and Nelson below.
Enjoy your own private porch, the comforts of home, and access to a shared sauna—all just a short drive from downtown Nelson.
That View from the Porch!
Imagine stepping outside with your morning coffee, watching the sunlight dance across Kootenay Lake, and soaking in those gorgeous mountain views.
It’s one of my favorite things about Morning Star. A place to slow down, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and linger a little longer.
Cozy Cabin Living
Inside, rustic log-cabin charm meets everyday comfort. You’ll find an inviting open-concept living space, a fully equipped kitchen, Smart TV, and Wi-Fi.
Morning Star welcomes up to four guests, with three sleeping options:
* Queen bed in the private bedroom * Double bed in the loft, accessed by ladder * Double futon in the living room
Whether you’re planning a couples’ getaway, a family adventure, or a little escape with friends, there’s room to settle in and make yourself at home.
And yes, your four-legged family member is welcome too!
Sauna, Anyone?
After a day of skiing, hiking, or exploring Nelson, there’s nothing quite like warming up in the sauna.
Our sauna is a shared amenity for Morning Star and Bunkieland guests.
From May through October, you can also enjoy a refreshing cold plunge! The cold-plunge tub is seasonal and winterized during the colder months.
Explore Nelson, Then Come Home to Nature
Spend your days wandering historic Baker Street, discovering local cafés and restaurants, enjoying Kootenay Lake, or heading into the mountains.
Then return to your cozy cabin, settle onto the porch, and enjoy the beauty of the Kootenays.
I’ve been welcoming travellers to Nelson since 2001, and I love sharing local favourites, hidden gems, and little discoveries that make a visit extra special.
Come for the views, stay for the experience, and make yourself at home.
I’d love to welcome you!
Warmly, Maria Your Local Host at Morning Star & Bunkieland

We loved it. Excellent view of Kootenay Lake and Nelson BC from the deck. The dog loved all the grass, I loved all the flowers, the weather was perfect, lots to do. The host is very nice and available, plus there’s a Thai food cart just across the road.
We enjoyed staying at Maria‘s property! She was very responsive and helpful. Comfortable cabin with numerous thoughtful, touches and amenities. Private, relaxing and dog friendly!
Had a wonderful stay at the log cabin. The kitchen was well stocked with more than the basics, which was greatly appreciated. Many rentals are filled with mismatched furniture and kitchen essentials but that was not the case in this cabin. The host personalized the space very well, even provided slippers and Doterra defuser for our use. The location is close enough to town with a beautiful view. The cabin getaway was exactly what we needed.
My husband and I had a wonderful relaxing few days. Very clean, warm and inviting. We talked into the night around the raised stone firepit. Enjoyed barbequed suppers and relaxed in the sauna. Just be informed that if you have trouble walking the area around the cabin is uphill and rocky. It's very nice and beautiful but I have knee problems and it's good to be aware ahead of time. There's also a beautiful view of the lake through the day and at night.
The property was great. Awesome view of the Kootenay River and Nelson. The host was very nice, and we had several interactions with her. My only small complaint is the way that the rates are advertised. The place sleeps 4, but they rate is for 2 people. You will be charged an extra $30 per night per person extra. Also, you will be charged $25 if you do not wash and put away any dishes. It is these sorts of hidden fees with VRBO that annoy me compared to a hotel.
Overall 5 star stay: absolutely immaculately clean on arrival and incredibly well-stocked kitchen (I sort of wish I realized before the trip was almost over there was a crock pot for meal planning while out skiing! 🥰).Sauna was so lovely, and we really enjoyed the view from the covered deck. Super thoughtful doggy welcome bag that made the cabin feel like home! Watch for deer - we saw so many right at the cabin.Not too isolated, not too far from town. The property is quirky, very Kootenays: it worked really well for us, but walking the dog on the road was not our favourite (I know there are incredible hikes close by, but for that quick morning walk, the road is a bit narrow - it reminded me a bit of being on the Sunshine Coast). Other than that, absolutely awesome spot, and genuinely pet-friendly!Your host at this location will be one of the best you’ve ever met. Just a lovely person, and great communication.Wonderful time!
We spent a beautiful week here with our 7 year old. Close to town and easy to access hikes, parks, and disc golf courses all around the area. We have already started recommending to family and friends. :)
Such a great location close to the town of Nelson. Our cabin was cozy and sweet. Great little kitchen and a great deck looking over the lake. They also had smaller bunkies that would be great for glamping!! Definitely work the visit. Thanks Maria for a lovely stay
Cool cabin with great character, quiet, close to Nelson
We were impressed with the combination of rustic charm and modern updates in the Morning Star Cabin. The owner/manager has clearly put a lot of thought into providing everything guests may need. Will stay here again the next time we're in Nelson.
Great cabin. Clean, well appointed and quiet. Only a 5 minute drive to town. Beautiful, serene views from the front porch. We had a great 3 day stay. The best part was Maria! Maria could not have been more pleasant and gracious. She is creating a multi dwelling glamping retreat. We will definitely be back.
