Cozy and Cute cottage with yard 10 minutes from Nelson

Cozy and welcoming cottage. Think grandma"s house in the country that has been spruced up a bit! Good sized kitchen and dining area is perfect for hanging out and socializing after a day on the slopes. There is a large shaded outside deck with BBQ. The living room has a large couch and 42" TV with Roku streaming service. Two cozy bedrooms, and a full bathroom that has a washer and dryer. Lots of parking available for 4 vehicles. A partially finished basement perfect for storing extra gear or maybe playing a round of air hockey on the full-sized table. We are both kid and pet-friendly. Motorcycles are welcome and we have a covered area to park bikes.

Everything about our stay was perfect. The cottage was like described but even a little better. Aric and Meesh were the best hosts and left very thoughtful treats for our stay. Can't wait to come stay again and visit Nelson in the summer.

The Bear Den is a great no so little house and had everything we needed: kitchen well equipped, comfortable beds, a sunny living room, a choice of dog beds, a room to store our gear and an air hockey table! Our hosts were outstanding! We were welcomed with goodies and tips on the area, even some useful food items when we start a long stay… and doggie treats. They checked regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. All in all, a convenient location to do all kinds of activities as well. Merci!

Stayed in the cabin for a week. The hosts are awesome and so was our stay. The cabin is in a great location and had everything a person needed to be comfortable. Pet friendly and a pet friendly neighborhood too. The bonfire pit on the front lawn was so much fun. Thanks guys….I’ll be back for sure!

A perfect private retreat

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The cottage was a great size and the little nice touches really welcomed us - like a soft light in the bedrooms, the porch lights and fresh grapes! Aric and Michelle were so friendly and welcoming and had great recommendations on where to dine in Nelson. I loved seeing the wild turkeys on the lawn in the morning! You've got a winner of a place!

This place is just as described. A rustic cottage that has been updated and that is clean and comfortable. Many games to play for kids and adults. It’s only a few minutes drive into Nelson. The owners have great and easy going communication. They also supplied the cottage with little amenities to make traveling easy. We would definitely stay here again for a future visit.

Fabulous accommodation

This was a great location for our day trips to halcyon and ainsworth Hot springs. Also a nice hike along the Kaslo River and a tour of the Moyie Sternwheeler. The hosts are very accommodating, responsive, and kind. We cooked a lot of meals in the home, and there are lots of pots and pans, cooking and eating utensils, salt and pepper, and food basics like butter, olive oil, condiments. No microwave, so keep that in mind. We would love to come back to the area and stay more nights.

As it says a cute and cozy cottage. We were visiting our son in Nelson. Arik and Michelle are excellent hosts with great communication pre and while we were there. Very responsive to any questions we had. It was so nice to have some fresh fruit on arrival and some milk in the fridge as well as basic condiments. Nice to sit outside on the porch and just a great relaxing vibe. Well equipped with a bbq and anything you need to cook indoors. Comfortable beds and great to have the washer and dryer! All round an excellent property on the outskirts of town by very easily accessible.
