Also a nice hike along the Kaslo River and a tour of the Moyie Sternwheeler. The hosts are very accommodating, responsive, and kind.

This cottage is set against a mountain forest with a bear feasting on cherries some nights. It's near the town of Nelson, but the property is more level than much of Nelson, and has plenty of parking space, relative seclusion, and a great place for a dog to roam without being close to a highway. Our hosts, Aric and Meesh, were wonderful and offered us fresh lavender from their garden. There is cut firewood and a fire ring if you like to sit by campfire. The cottage is simple, but clean and has all amenities including full kitchen and bathroom that includes washer and dryer. We enjoyed mornings on the porch drinking coffee and the proximity to everything in town. I highly recommend this retreat for your lodging needs near Nelson. ##### Mike Z.
