Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ron R. 19 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Luxury small wedding This luxury home and deck overlooking the Kootenay lake made for the most intimate and beautiful wedding! Parents of the groom and bride shared this house where we hosted a rehearsal dinner, the most stunning wedding dinner on the deck and a Sunday brunch. The kitchen has everything you could dream of, and working together for an elegant meal or serve yourself was surprisingly stress free. Room for lots of helping hands and counter space to prepare or serve. I can’t decide what the best part about the venue was as the main events were a perfect set up, the private hikes back and forth to the beach for days of fun, great games area for evenings, and as the parents we got such decadence in the tub built for star gazing, wonderful peaceful sleep, and coffee on the deck in the morning (the rest of the wedding party and guests stayed in the other two homes on the same property.) We would highly recommend it a for special events and gatherings for all ages. For those considering a small event, the deck for a wedding of 22 people was great! Chairs and tables were rented by a great young couple from J&J Rentals, Beautiful video done by Beansprowt media. Cakes by Betty. Flowers by Hummingbird Farms. Great Kootenay businesses and people! ##### Ron R.
