Redfish Lakehouse - Dog Friendly - Lakefront

GregRating, 5 stars21 months ago
Alanna, Thanks so much for letting us stay Redfish Lakehouse. Our family of 5 plus our Lab had a fantastic time. Lots of swimming and lake activities! Just what we were planning. We had a number of great dog walks by the Kokoanee spawning channels and spent lots of time watching the eagles, osprey, herons and turkey vultures set up shop on the beach. The beach was perfect, a couple of sandbars keep the boats away and make for a mostly sandy walk out to the deeper water. Great for kids and tired dogs! You are a pro - we had everything we needed inside and out - ice maker, Smart TV, extra lawn chairs, beach chairs, beach toys, table games, giant jenga and the dog towel! The deck was definitely a favourite. Lots of room and the afternoon shade was heaven sent at times! We look forward to staying again someday! Tammy & Greg

This property might be the best Airbnb we've ever stayed at. Words cannot describe how beautiful Angels home was, the property, the surroundings, and the incredible views and peacefulness of Heaven!

This was a perfect place to stay for our week away. We had 2 dogs with us who loved the water. The hosts were extremely accommodating and we felt right at home. The place was immaculately clean, and we had everything we could have needed for a beach vacation.
The cabin is positioned on a sandy beach, with a wooden dock extending into the water. A light-colored dog sits calmly on the dock, while the cabin glows warmly through its large windows. Surrounding trees provide a natural backdrop.

Cozy two bedroom home in downtown Kaslo.

HaleyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a lovely stay! The place exceeded our expectations and was a great spot for my husband, young daughter, and I while we spent a few quiet days in Kaslo in March. The kitchen is simple but clean and well supplied. The living room is cozy and a great spot to hang out. It was an awesome location and very walkable to everything in town!

We enjoyed every minute. Booked this property solely for the waterfront access to the lake, but was so much more. Very well organized, beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing. Darrell & Lana are so very accommodating, and great at what they do. Thank you again.

The Nest on Kootenay Lake - In Crawford Bay

ShannonRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Diana’s place was a perfect summer getaway. The lake access is easy and the balcony provides incredible views. The space is well appointed with great layout - we were two couples staying and there was ample room for all. The place was spotless and there were very helpful notes in the booklet. Diana was very responsive when we had questions. Absolutely recommend her place.

"What Happens at the Lake..."

DonaldRating, 5 stars9 months ago
We recently vacationed at Lisa’s fantastic lakeside home with some of our family, including an infant. Lisa’s home more than comfortably accommodated all of us! It’s a beautiful home, with a gorgeous big deck that afforded a spectacular view, large stunningly landscaped garden/yard and a great set-up with lots of shade for playing on the beach and dock with children and utilizing the dock and buoy for a boat. The house itself is large and well-equipped kitchen. Lisa was an extremely responsive, accommodating and helpful host, and everything was very clean and exceptionally well-organized. Lisa emphasized beforehand that there were stairs going down to the beach, but we can honestly all say (even us seniors, and the mother with the infant), that the stairs posed no problems whatsoever. We followed the instructions on keeping the house cool without AC and it was effective. On the really hot days (38 degrees Celsius) the house got a bit warm by bedtime, but cooled off nicely in the night.

RV on beautiful Arrow Lake

LeanneRating, 5 stars7 months ago
We spent one night on the first leg of a road trip. Arlene and Earl’s had everything you could ask for in an RV. When we arrived we hopped in a kayak and went for a paddle. We were the only ones on the water so it was very peaceful! There is another cabin for rent and another being built on site (as noted in the listing!) so be mindful if you want complete privacy, as they are in close proximity. There were two people staying in the cabin while we were there and we weren’t bothered at all. Advice: make sure to screenshot the directions and pictures before travelling! We didn’t have service and Google maps lead us to the neighbour’s place. Thanks Arlene and Earl, it was a quick but great stop 😊

Nelson Beach Chalet 5 Bedroom Waterfront House

CandaceRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Our two families totaling 10 people felt so comfortable in Staci's beautiful and spacious chalet. There was ample room inside for us to spread out but we also appreciated being able to all get together in either of the two living areas for board games and movies. There are various areas outside to relax whether it's at the beach enjoying the sun, sand and eagles or on the grass with a propane fire, a game of Bocce Ball and watching the local turkeys. Our beds were comfortable the house was very clean and well equipped for our 5 day stay. Staci was kind and quick to respond to all of my questions before and during our stay and checked in with us to see how things were going. I would not hesitate to recommend Staci's chalet and we hope to return next year!

Christina Lake Beachfront - Modern Cabin

JanRating, 5 stars6 months ago
We stayed at Andrea's place over the Thanksgiving weekend. We were very impressed with the fit and finish of the house but also of the outdoor spaces. We loved sitting outside around the propane fire with our morning coffee or reading outside in the afternoon in the sitting area near the beach. We have been going to Christina Lake for over 10 years and I must say that Andrea's property is a top spot to rent there.
A modern waterfront home is featured against a backdrop of gently sloping terrain and trees. The sandy beach leads to the entrance of the residence, which showcases large windows and a welcoming design. Nearby, a fire pit and stacked stones are arranged on the sand, with a kayak resting on the shore.

What a wonderful stay! Everything that my friends and I were looking for while having a relaxing time in Nelson. The location is great as well because it’s right between Nelson and the Hot Springs. Bonnie was a wonderful host. We were already talking about the next time that we will come back before we even left. Highly recommended.

Dock Holiday ~ Beachfront Home with private dock

StaceyRating, 5 stars21 months ago
This property is amazing if you like lake properties! Byran and Lisa were great hosts and ensured we had everything we needed, including parking for the boat trailer once the boat was in the water. The property is great if you want to just be private and spend quite time or if you want to entertain and have multiple people there. Having so many places to relax and enjoy was also fantastic, such as the covered patio, lounging chairs with an umbrella, firepit by the beach, the beach itself and the dock. The dock was perfect for our high end surf boat as it is very protected where it’s located and very easy to get in and out of with no problems. Also the lake is one of the best in Canada so we spent a ton of time boating and in the water. Absolutely loved the location, the property and the hosts!
A serene waterfront scene is captured, showcasing a dock positioned on clear water surrounded by lush green trees. In the background, a cozy cabin is nestled among the foliage, complemented by another small cabin visible along the shore.

Lakefront Dream (Boat Access Only) CHRISTINA LAKE

WilliamRating, 5 stars46 months ago
Nice quiet location , comfortable beds and several outside sitting areas so at least one area is in the shade during the day. The cabins did not heat up that much during 36 Deg C daytime highs. We got a lot of use out of the paddle boards and the kayaks . Solar lighting along the paths to the various cabins and facilities make the place feel special at night.
The log home exterior features intricate woodwork and a generous front porch with comfortable seating. Large windows allow natural light, while landscaped greenery surrounds the entrance, providing a serene and welcoming approach.

Lakefront Resort Home, Kootenay Bay

JanaRating, 5 stars8 months ago
This was our second visit at Ken’s place and we were really happy to be there. There were 10 of us - three generations, our grandchildren are between 12 and 18. The house was very spacious and everybody had the privacy if needed but most of the time we spent evenings playing games in a large living room with a spectacular view of the lake and the mountains. Ken’s place is quite secluded and serene. The dock, which was great to just relax at or to just hold all our paddleboards, kayaks and inflatable toys, is just a three-minute walk from the house. If you like nature, water and privacy we absolutely recommend.
