Wonderful place!
We really enjoyed our stay here! The suite was clean and bright. My son loved the built in bunk bed. The view was beautiful and we were treated to seeing a mamma deer and her babies often during our stay. We highly recommend this place. Very quiet and peaceful.

Sweet modern place with wildlife!
We saw Disney movie caliber wildlife every day: skunks, deer and baby, raccoon and bear! In the backyard! The accommodations were comfortable and all we needed. I think it says two bedrooms on the listing and one is a pocket single bed in the hallway. And lakeside is a couple blocks away. Not complaining at all, great location. Wonderful stay.
Well appointed suite with all the right touches. Great linens, kitchen supplies, lighting etc. The air conditioner was very much appreciated on this very hot August long weekend. Would stay here again.

Nelson Mtn Bike trip
Great place for single or couple, little tight with kids but doable. I ate out mostly but had fully functional kitchen AND great that is has a bunch of condiments etc . In a quiet neighbour hood so felt super safe. About 15 min walk to “downtown “ Nelson
Perfect location for access to Lakeside park. This suite is clean, quiet and makes great use of the space available. There was room for us to bring bikes and store them, the kitchen had everything we needed. Thank you Lynne and family.

Garden suite
I will definitely stay again when we come to Nelson. The unit has huge windows overlooking the beautiful backyard and it had everything we needed. The bed was incredibly comfortable. Be sure to check out the Au Soleil Levant bakery and the Black Bear (translated from Spanish) coffee shop when you're in Nelson. Lynne was so helpful and available for anything we needed.
Absolutely beautiful little suite in a lovely character home, close to amenities by foot, and a 25-30 minute walk to town. We walked every day and loved it! Lynne and Mark were lovely hosts, and truly enjoyed their company and the beautiful back yard. We sat out there in the mornings and afternoons. Would not hesitate to stay here again! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great place, Great Locations
We stayed at Lynne's place for the Canada Day weekend. It is the perfect location to walk to all the activities in the park. Not to mention it's about 2.5 blocks to the DQ! The suite is really quiet, a train went by one evening and with the door closed I couldn't even hear it! There are the occasional expected creaks from being in the lower level historical house, but overall quiet and peaceful.
The photos do not do this lovely gem justice! It is bright and clean! (the summer sun comes right into the bedroom, so if you are a late sleeper, a sleep mask will be your friend). There are serval nods to the historical age of the house. Old exposed beams, repurposed heritage doors, very charming. Lynne obviously cares about her guest's comfort and experience. It is much larger than you think. And I was happy to see the recent addition of a small stove. A good variety of kitchen tools, dishes and cutlery. Perfect! We also took advantage of an optional bunk area just off the bedroom. My 5ft10" teen boy fit comfortably and loved having his own space.
The King bed is luxurious! The bedroom is spacious. The towels are plush! Lynne has though of pretty much everything a person could need.
The afternoon sun warmed the front room slightly, but not uncomfortably. We found keeping the fun yellow door closed during the day helped to keep the sleeping areas basement cool.
Would recommend and would stay again if the need arose.

Weekend in Nelson
I stayed for a couple nights while driving around the area hiking and planning future trips. The hosts were great and the property is nicely appointed and a great place to relax after a busy day. The bed and linens were ex ellent. Short walk into the center of town where restaraunt abound. Nelson is fabulous !and I will be back

Perfect place to stay in Nelson
This VRBO in Nelson is a great place to stay. It is roomy, the bed is very comfortable and it is well-appointed. There is a large picture window overlooking the back yard with a beautiful willow tree. The weather was great, so we could sit there and enjoy the view in full sunshine. There is no TV, but we had books to read an work to do, so missed it only a little bit. We highly recommend this place.
