Vacation rentals with lake access in Central Kootenay

The perfect lakefront escape! This cabin is the jackpot—a private beach, all the nature & cabin vibes, and enough space to fit my modern family of five plus our two fur babies. The cabin is spacious, comfy, quirky layout and everything you could possibly need from games, kitchen wear to towels & more. Great communication with Craig, easy to get into. If you’re craving a secluded, serene spot by the lake, this is it.

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.

We had an amazing stay with Rose and Brett. We were so Happy with views of the Lake and the mountains. The Super clean and cozy comfy two bedroom unit. The Hot Tub is a 10 out of 10 saltwater!!! We were sad to leave after staying for 6 weeks. We can't wait to come back next year. What wonderful hosts. Our fur babies had the Best time on the beach We loved our coast line walks. Thank You So Much for making our stay perfect.

Great place. perfect for our group of families. Many amenities, great location, a fully stocked kitchen and loved the hot tub and sauna.

Great spot for a get together with friends and to have a relaxing time. Lots of communal space, great views. The house was clean with everything we needed to cook meals. We had a lovely stay!

Beautiful house with so many thoughtful extra touches to make it comfortable and fun for the kids. Would definitely love to stay here again!

This is a wonderful property in a fabulous location overlooking Kootenay Lake. 6 of us including a 90 year old father enjoyed the spacious open plan living area making extensive use of the kitchen. All of us thought the mattresses excellent for comfort! We had a number of things to ask James and he was endlessly responsive. We would happily stay here again!

The peace and tranquility here literally erases all your stress, it makes you to live in the moment and truly relax. The location is perfect, close to everything you might need, and if you’re a golfer, there’s a course just down the road. But the real highlight was the insane view of the lake and mountains, it looks so good it almost feels fake. You also don’t hear or see basically anyone else, It felt like having a private retreat all to our selves. Amanda was quick to respond to all my questions and made the whole stay super easy. If you're looking to disconnect and immerse yourself in nature, I can't recommend this place enough.

We were pleased with the spaciousness and comfort of the unit. Well equipped and bright. Lots of seating and comfy beds. It would have helped to be told the name of the building, and to be provided some way to transport coolers and groceries and even bags, up to our unit. We are in our mid to late 70's and it was hard to carry enough for a 10 day stay, all the way to the 3rd floor and so far down the hallway (especially when we discovered we were in the wrong building). Plus, having some directions on the back of the door as to where to take garbage would have been very helpful. We never did find where garbage could be put and ended up bringing it home. 3 of the dining chairs were falling apart, my husband fixed 2. Also, on your check out directions, do a reminder about leaving the garage door opener on the counter, we brought it back to Calgary with us, as we forgot about it. We put it into the mail right away; you should have it back next week.

This place is absolutely a beautiful spot. From start to finish the stay was five star from location to service. Franca and her daughter were beyond great hosts. I highly recommend this place.

Wonderful place to stay. Felt at home immediately. Maria’s place will be my first choice when I return.

Maria was such a delightful host. She greeted us upon arrival and made sure we had everything we needed including some restaurant recommendations. The apartment was exactly how it is described and it was very well appointed with a lot of personal touches. We would definitely reserve this unit or another of her places if we return to Nelson. What a great little spot. Thank you for taking such good care of us.

We were having a problem with another location and needed to move immediately. I booked Maria’s spot and within the hour were settled in. She was very responsive and helpful and it was so nice to have no more issues and be cozy for the rest of the stay. Thanks so much!

My husband and I stayed with Nonie and Dale for 4 nights, and we count it as one of the best AirBnb experiences we have had! First, the house is very comfortable, small, but laid out well, and extremely comfortable! We never eat out, so I do a lot of cooking when we travel, and the kitchen had every amenity and utensil I needed, and then some! The house is situated on a hill overlooking the lake, and the views are stunning! The 4-acre grounds are a cacophany of gardens and flowers of every sort. Walking around them, and sitting on the porch, is like a continual 'zen' immersion! Birdsong and crickets serenaded us the entire time, and the whole experience was so soothing and relaxing we never wanted to leave! It is conveniently located close to some of the best hiking and biking in the region. Top it all off with two of the most friendly, hosts, full of information and background on the area, and this will go down as one of the best experiences we have had! We highly recommend!

We had a lovely stay at Kathleen's place. comfy beds, and great location. Very walkable town & fun to explore. We will have to come back in another season to check out the natural hotsprings as the road was impassable.

What an amazing view as you walk around the corner of the house. It's a little peace of paradise right here. The cottage was spotless. The location was perfect. The walkway from the road to the cottage could use a little work, more stairs needed I think. But overall the place is perfect for a relaxing getaway in the fall. Thanks for your hospitality., till the next time.

truly incredible place. clean , spectacular views and very cold water 🌊 haha enjoy

Barefoot cabin was a wonderful getaway for me, my husband and dog. We had some great walks! The cabin was very clean and stocked well enough for our stay., very cute decor. The short drive into town was quite manageable . We will be back again if we come this way!

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.

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.

Laura and host were very helpful and did everything they could to help us when we needed it. There were extenuating circumstances with a forest fire that needed immediate help and they helped us as much as they could. Lauras place is beautiful.

We absolutely loved our stay. The cabin is exactly as described. Stunning views, cabin had everything you needed to be comfortable. The downstairs bedroom with the open screen was probably some of the best sleeps I've ever had. Hearing the waves on the beach every evening and morning was pure tranquility. Thank you to our hosts, they were very accommodating and communicated quickly.

Beautiful stay in this excellent little cabin - a great jumping-off point for adventures. Gosia was very welcoming, and we enjoyed chatting with her over breakfast.
