The West Kootenays are one of the lesser frequented recreational areas of southern BC but are providing you with the most spectacular beauty of nature and wild life. Nelson, with its over 350 historic buildings, only 30 minutes to the west, is recognized as the cultural center of the district and regarded as the Best Little Arts Town in Canada . Our house can be used as base camp for the whole family, since the Kootenays are offering numerous activities for summer and winter. You may hike, bike or just walk through the parks up to the Kokanee glacier, nature pure. The Kootenay lake provides all the water sports you can think of with boat mooring and rentals just minutes away. Take your ATV for an excursion, meet your friends for fishing and hunting, go on a photo safari or just bird-watching. Winter activities are as numerous with snowshoeing, cross country skiing and snowmobiling directly from the house. Downhill, deep powder and back country skiing 40 mi S/E at Whitewater Mountain.
