Family-friendly vacation rentals in Kootenay Lake

The epitome of ski in ski out. This is a masterclass in a ski holiday rental. Parking included, hot tub, sauna, equipment dryer, ski lockers, ski waxing bench, comfortable beds, entrance to the ski run, amazing game room, recliners, fireplace, bbq… what else could you want. This was literally perfect for our trip. Book with confidence.

Great location and excellent host! It’s walking distance to the ski hill/resort, which made for an easy morning commute. The hot tubs were the best part — coming home to them after a day of skiing was a beautiful thing.

Our stay here was great! Scott is a very welcoming and responsive host. The space was very enjoyable, comfortable and provided all the perfect amenities after a day on the slopes.

Powder House was an ideal ski in/out accommodation for our ski group, and I would highly recommend it to others looking for an affordable, comfortable place to enjoy a ski vacation..Brian MacKinnon, Fernie, British Columbia

The house at RED was truly awesome. Our group loved the house and it worked so well for us. Our athletes thrived being close to hill with very early wake up calls!

Great spot, easy walk to the slopes. They have thought of a lot of details. There is a lock to lock up your skis, a great mudroom to store and dry your gear, even a boot heater. The one downside is there were almost no throw blankets. Hard to curl up next to a fire without blankets. It was -16 while we were there so a little chili even in the cabin.

My family and I enjoyed staying at the Chalet; great place to stay if you want to be close to nature. 10 min drive to downtown Nelson. We loved using the hot tub after a long hike. Our dogs enjoyed running around the property!

The Silvertip is a quiet, spacious condo in beautiful mountain surroundings. The beds are comfortable and larger than in the photos. The best part was the close proximity to the base of the mountain. We skied right to the chairlifts and the hot tub was great at the end of the day after skiing!

Overall great cabin experience with the family. It snowed quite a bit while we were there so we took advantage of the campfire site at the beach. The stroll through the woods was really nice all the way down to the water. The cabin is cozy and it felt like a true getaway with some great time spent with the family. The kids loved the dvd collection and the bunk beds and we enjoyed being able to unplug for a few days. Overall we would recommend the Kootenai Hideaway.

Maria is an excellent host! We had a couple issues but she addressed the one immediately (unfunctioning lock) and I'm sure she'll fix the other pronto too- the listing implies more beds than exist. There's one in the bedroom, one in the loft and a foldout futon. All are comfortable. The space is very clean. The views are very nice. The cabin is very nicely outfitted with appropriate but unique furniture. The kitchen is well outfitted too. The space was very private and the deck a nice place to gather. Highly recommend both the host and any of her properties!

We had a Dad‘s mountain biking weekend in Rossland and this was the perfect house to accommodate all of us. Lots of space to spread out over multiple levels. A real feast for the eyes with lots of artwork and unique decor at every turn. All the amenities we needed were there, including some great coffee and selection of teas to start the day. The ping pong table was also a hit as we battled it out for king of the table. Would definitely stay there again if in the area and it would even be great for a couple of families. Thanks for hosting us Phil!

It's an absolutely lovely home with an amazing view and beautiful natural surroundings. The house is spotless and well equipped with everything you need. The views from the large deck were such a wonderful surprise. The ferry ride back and forth from the town of Nelson was an added delight for us. All in all this home was fantastic and I would highly recommend for other travelers.

We really enjoyed staying in Joan's cabin, it is a beautiful property and there is a nice little hike to a waterfall from the cabin. She was very responsive and helpful, we would come here again!!

Great little spot! Beautiful home. Beds were comfortable and the location was great with a beautiful view. We would definitely rent again

Beautiful hand built cabin in a wonderful woodland private location, Amazing hosts and lots to do in the area

Black Bear Lodge was the perfect spot for our ski vacation. Such a short drive across the border to Rossland and Red Mountain. Jack & Daniel were stellar hosts and the view was breathtaking! We would love to come back again soon-

Annie was a wonderful, kind host who went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable in the suite. We loved the cozy sitting room, spacious bedrooms, beautiful garden and patio area, and well supplied kitchen (perfect for simple family meals - no stove, but we weren't cooking anything too fancy on this family holiday, and all the other basics were available including ingredients for a couple of meals!). Our two kids slept well in the bedrooms (lots of extra blankets and sheets to make sure everyone was extra comfortable), and enjoyed the nearby playground (walking distance).

The house was perfect for the gathering we did this weekend. Two couples had enough room to spend time together, cook and eat and play games together and still have privacy. The outside accommodations are great too. We had lunches and snacks on the patio. The patio furniture was comfortable. The BBQ worked perfectly. We had a great time!

This was my second time staying here, and it did not disappoint. The house is beautiful and the gardens are magical. This is a very nice and peaceful retreat. Know that this is a working flower farm so you may see people working on the grounds, but everyone we met was lovely and fun to talk to.

Becky was a great host and our team of photographers enjoyed their stay. Everything was as advertised.

This a truly marvellous place to stay. It is remarkable building with great inside spaces, multiple works of art, a great selection of vinyl LP's and good sound system. The whole place has a relaxed easy going and artistic feel. It is also really cosy, the log burner heats the space very effectively and the comfortable bed ensures a great night's sleep. Ymir is an interesting old gold mining town. It has a very friendly local store and a multipurpose trail along the old railway. From Ymir it is easy to access Nelson, great downhill skiing at Whitewater and cross country trails at the Nelson ski club. The Whitewater base lodge is a foodie's delight for lunch whether skiing or not. Nelson is a very relaxed town with some lovely restaurants and cafes. Ainsworth Hot Springs and Kokanee Provincial Park are worth a visit and are recommended for improving body and soul. Accommodation that will linger long in our memory and will probably not be surpassed!

Large bedroom, large entry way for boots and jackets, nice desk in bedroom for computer work, kitchen with table and adequate appliances for breakfast and lunch, BBQ for occational dinner, living space with couch and TV. Perfect for single or couple.

Great Stay at Jennifer's, we would stay there again. Great kitchen, layout is really nice! One of the best Airbnb mattresses I've ever slept on. The deck and View are amazing. Jennifer was very friendly and responsive.

This sweet little place made for a perfect little getaway. Sheri met us at the condo and even left some local coffee and cream to welcome us. We definitely will be back!
