Beautiful relaxing vacation spot

Fantastic property. Beautiful details, the host and staff were friendly and available, the location close to the lake was perfect, and the air conditioning kept us nice and cool! We especially appreciated that, when we forgot a sentimental item, the host took the trouble to mail it to our home. Thank you!

Great place if you want to get away.

We were celebrating my wife's birthday and she loves Nelson. This place is in walking distance to downtown shopping and restaurants. We spent more time in our room than we originally planned because it was so comfortable and relaxing. The room had everything we need for cooking and we did cook a couple of meals. We even used the gas grill outside. Maria is a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. She made a few helpful suggestions of what to do in the area. The pictures on the web are good but the rooms are even better than the pictures. We definitely would recommend staying here.

Short but Suite

The Valahlla suite was better than advertised. Super cozy. Quiet street. Main bed and futon couch bed were very comfortable. Kitchen small but fully appointed. The fridge is only a bar fridge so not tons of storage for fresh food but so many restaurants within walking distance so shouldn't be an issue. Coop grocery also about 5 minutes walk. Maria and Loretta were very responsive via text and phone. Our stay was only for the one night but wish we had more time. Hope we can come back again.

A home away rom home

We were in Nelson in mid July. Our unit was upstairs so I wouldn't recommend it if you have health issues. It was as advertised but the charm is in the details. It's close to everything in Nelson and there is lots to see in the Nelson area. We went up to a provincial park and to Kaslo and returned to our unit in Nelson. it truly felt like a home away from home. It was quiet and had everything needed to make a snack or a full meal. there are many restaurant and good pubs in the area so we ate out most of the time but you don't have to. Maria was very accommodating and pleasant to deal with. We would put it on our list of places to stay in Nelson. We had a quiet relaxing stay. A and B Ferguson
