- "We do a trip a year to the Kootenays with another family, making us a large group of 9 plus 2 dogs. Finding the right property on the lake and close to biking plus town is critical to keeping everyone happy. The Hideway has it all and was the first property in 5 years to check all the boxes. We’ll be back!" - "The property was perfect and secluded. The deck and outside fire place was perfect for hanging out and taking in the amazing veiws! They have a nice beach with kayaks and a paddle boat available to use. We will definitely be back in the fall!"

This charming cottage, built in 1964, has been recently updated without ruining the architectural simplicity of its design. The spectacular view of the lake and the peaceful environment make this spot an amazing retreat. The fully functional kitchen has everything you need to make your own meals - stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave, fridge, coffee maker plus a little bit of the basics such as salt, spices, oil and flour. The deck has a gas BBQ, a dining table and chairs, and a separate seating area. The house has wi-fi, a portable DVD player (no TV), stereo, telephone, washer and dryer. The property and its secluded sandy beach is on the west arm of Kootenay Lake just 15 kilometers (9 miles) from Nelson. There is a lot to do in Nelson plus parks, hiking, skiing and hot springs close by.

- "Visit once or twice a year and never disappoints,." - "The cottage has amazing views of the lake, private setting. There is a covered deck that can be enjoyed in all kinds of weather. The cottage is very well stocked. The private beach is a 2 minute walk down hill, shallow water entry with comfortable chairs, umbrella and side tables which makes it nice to stay there for hours. The location is great, a short 10 minute drive to Nelson. Chris is an amazing host, quick to reply to any questions you may have. We would love to go back again some day."

- "the only thing better than the view from the deck is sitting on the beach and being in the lake - this is the ideal spot for a getaway, quiet and private, yet so close to all the good that is Nelson!" - "My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary and loved it. Fantastic quiet location with a beautiful view. House had all of the necessary amenities. We’re definitely coming back to visit Nelson."
