Best Vacation Rental we've had so far!
Best Vacation Rental we've had so far!
Our highlights? The natural hot springs hot tub on the back deck (obviously!), the owner's helpful tips about the hot spots that locals know about but that aren't advertised for tourists (St. Leon's hot springs, the waterfalls, the hike in the back 40, and where to find wild huckleberries), the gorgeous lake and mountain view from the hot tub and back deck, the kid friendly environment of Nick's place restaurant in Nakusp (looks like a dive from the outside but the food and service is great), and the fact that the kitchen in the rental was stocked better than our kitchen at home!
Our children's highlights? Playing monster trucks and lego with the owner's son! Oh, yeah, and the hot tub.
Our family never does hotels anymore--just vacation rentals--and this one was by far the best for the value, beauty of location, super comfy beds (queen sized bunks for the kids!), and just how the owners made us feel like the place was ours. If people want to do the touristy stuff like Halcyon hot springs, it's a 1 km walk away, but if you are wanting to do the non-touristy, off-the-grid stuff, just ask the owner, who has been an outdoor adventure guide for years.
The only warning is for those who have a low-pro vehicle (like a Honda Prelude or something), as the 1/4 km road to the place is rocky. Vehicles with normal clearance are fine.
We have already and will continue to recommend this place to family and friends, and...if it doesn't get too popular and booked up way in advance...we definitely plan on coming back next year (or next month??!).
