The property and its secluded sandy beach is on the west arm of Kootenay Lake just 15 kilometers (9 miles) from Nelson.

Sweet getaway

We had a great time, very private location on the lake. There is an adjustment to the road noise if you’re not used to that kind of thing. Overall it was a great experience and plan to come back next year. The cottage has beautiful views, and a wonderful private beach for hanging out, and swimming . The cottage was cozy and we felt right at home. Communications were great with Chris.

Amazing Views

The cottage has amazing views of the lake, private setting. There is a covered deck that can be enjoyed in all kinds of weather. The cottage is very well stocked. The private beach is a 2 minute walk down hill, shallow water entry with comfortable chairs, umbrella and side tables which makes it nice to stay there for hours. The location is great, a short 10 minute drive to Nelson. Chris is an amazing host, quick to reply to any questions you may have. We would love to go back again some day.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Ubick

Our mother, Janet, purchased this property in 1928 when the best way to get there was by boat from Nelson. She taught school in Nelson and loved the outdoors. It was an apple farm and the old house that they used for camping is right next door the the cottage (which Janet and her husband built in 1964). Our cousins live in the next two houses along the lake and step in as property hosts while we are away.

Why they chose this property

Janet's parents moved to Nelson in the 1890's and her father, Alexander Carrie, was the architect of many of the historic buildings in downtown Nelson. But the biggest reason they all stayed is the beauty of the Kootenays.
