Lamplighter Grand Loft - contemporary open design & walk anywhere!

Step into the Lamplighter Grand Loft and bask in this spacious yet intimate design - a serene and tranquil haven.

Gazing through a wall of windows offers stunning mountain and lake views, inspiring deep calm and wonder.

Retreat to the gorgeous master loft bedroom and discover a luxury spa ensuite, complete with an oversized bathtub.

Best of all, shopping, cafes, markets and nearby waterfalls are just an easy 5-10 minute walk away.

Dare we say heavenly?!
>
THE SPACE
As you enter, you'll be greeted by soaring ceilings, wood floors, and breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and lake. The Master bedroom boasts unique barn doors opening onto the beautiful living area below, a luxurious king bed, and a cozy electric fireplace sitting area. The Master loft also has a round pedestal table and chairs and a dream ensuite with a soaker tub and spacious waterfall shower.

The Canter room has a tranquil ambiance with a white horse mural and its own private full en-suite. The Canter room features deluxe bedding on a comfortable queen bed and two closets.

Relax in the living room, with its floor-to-ceiling windows and leather sectional couch, or prepare a meal in the enormous kitchen with its gas stove and 10' fir slab bar with stools. When it's time to dine, gather around the stunning live edge hand-hewn fir dinner table.

You will love the private mountain/lake view balcony with the Spaberry jacuzzi for two. Our home also features a washer/dryer and keyless code lock for your convenience.

While the railroad tracks run right in front of the suite, with trains passing by a couple of times a day, most guests find this no problem at all. The trains run fairly slow and don't usually honk on this end of town. The tracks run all along the lake, past many of the best areas close to the water and near downtown.

You are most welcome to come experience the beauty, comfort, and convenience of our beautiful Grand Loft.

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
Nestled in the heart of Nelson, the Lamplighter boutique guesthouse is just a short walk from fabulous coffeehouses, sidewalk cafes, amazing restaurants, and local art. You'll be able to walk to the movies, take in a play at the Capitol Theatre, or stroll through the Wednesday or Saturday summer markets. When you need a break, simply head back to your private suite and relax on the patio with its BBQ and breathtaking views of the lake and mountains. The Lamplighter is located in a quiet neighborhood, separate from any highway or downtown noise. A 15-minute walk will take you to the lakeside pathway, which stretches along the shore past the mall and through Lakeside Park to the orange bridge. The occasional trains that pass by in the mornings and late afternoons are rarely a disturbance, and reviews of the guesthouse often mention its serene and peaceful ambiance. In addition to its convenient location, the Lamplighter is also close to Cottonwood Falls and the Saturday market, as well as Gyro Park and its famous view lookout. For hikers, Elephant Mountain's Pulpit Rock lookout is also within easy reach. With everything from the hustle of the city center to business district to serene beaches and natural parks all within walking distance, the Lamplighter offers the best of both worlds.

Sorry, not suitable for children as there are floating stairs and the place is not childproof.

A mountain/lake view patio with BBQ - all in a wonderful DOWNTOWN location, easy walking distance to all downtown amenities!

Free parking is for 2 vehicles in the driveway and you have a door code for keyless entry & easy access.

The Lamplighter RAILTOWN SUITE (2 bedroom) is the suite below with its own entrance and the 2 suites may be connected and rented together (sleeps 8).

An amazing quiet location, just off the highway to Whitewater Ski Resort, the Lamplighter guesthouse is part of a 4 townhouse complex tucked in just steps from downtown Nelson and in a residential/slightly industrial area. The Lamplighter itself has 2 suites.

One Of A Kind Excellence In Nelson
We had a wonderful time staying at the Grand Loft for three nights in September. The high ceilings, spaciousness and cozy charm of the loft made for an amazing home base for exploring Nelson. We were greeted on arrival with a fresh baked loaf of bread, balsamic and olive oil. Delicious, and a really welcoming touch. All of the delights of quaint downtown Nelson were a few blocks away, but the location of the loft made it feel like a private retreat from everything. The loft is very thoughtfully equipped and owner? Chara was extremely gracious and responsive. Truly an exceptional experience!

I loved my stay at this property, it is exactly as shown and has a lovely calm energy that is so welcoming. I was greeted with a delicious loaf of sourdough (still warm!) along with coffee staples which made feel at home right off the bat, such an appreciated welcome! Chara is a lovely host, attentive and responsive. The suite is walking distance to everything downtown and is super quiet and is very well equipped. I highly recommend this property and very much look forward to my next stay here. Thanks again Chara! ❤️

Amazing and cozy stay with a perfect city location!
This property is perfect for a girls getaway or small family stay. So cozy and the interior design is on point. We loved staying within walking distance to all the fun shops and restaurants. We were impressed with how well insulated the condo was considering it was next to the railroad tracks and were never disturbed by the train passing. The bed was super cozy and linens were so nice. The owners put so many special touches into the condo to make the stay feel luxurious. The host was very responsive and welcoming. We will be back.!

Beautiful Grand Loft
We stayed here for our honeymoon and were not disappointed, we loved everything. We were pleasantly surprised at all of the small details, they made the place even more special (fresh bread, robes, kitchen stocked with spices). It was a perfect getaway with all of the conveniences of home. The suite is gorgeous and so well decorated. The host always replied promptly and was very helpful. The train didn't bother us as much as we were expecting, it was quiet during the night (as long as you keep the windows closed) and didn't interrupt your sleep. We did not notice it that much. We enjoyed kayaking in Nelson and Marzano was a fantastic restaurant. A beautiful trip indeed!

Oasis in Nelson
This loft suite is so beautifully done, fully equipped and looks like it was dropped here straight from NYC! The unit has thoughtful touches throughout, high quality finishes and is within walking distance from all of Nelson’s great restaurants and shops. Don’t worry about the train, after 1 day you won’t even notice. The hot tub on the deck is the cherry on top. Thank you Chara!

The property is very well equipped and very comfortable. It’s located very close to the downtown restaurants and shops. At first it appears to be very close to the railway tracks but this isn’t an issue and the view from the property is of the surrounding mountains and river valley.

Perfect Choice in Nelson!
We were very pleased with our choice of property in Nelson, and would highly recommend it to others. The location was fantastic, just a block or two from the heart of downtown - it was a quick, safe walk downtown to all the wonderful shops and restaurants, also a big grocery store an easy walk away. The place was exactly as the photos showed and plenty large for 4 adults, as was our case. Most notably, the kitchen was a dream to work in, every convenience or tool you needed was on hand, with lovely dishes and serving vessels. Chara checked on us via messaging to ensure we had everything we needed and I got the impression she would have hustled right over if we asked for something that wasn't there. Beds and furniture were very comfortable and there wasn't a complaint from anyone in our group. And just to address the proximity of the train tracks...unless you happened to be awake and in the living room by the large windows or were out on the balcony when it passed, you wouldn't even know. None of us did. And I have to say it was a pleasant novelty to be standing with glass of wine in hand as the train slowly passed beneath us shortly after we arrived, the train conductor giving us a friendly wave. Loved it!

Great location, super clean, best host, wonderful bed! Definitely would rent again.!
Chara was very responsive to all of our questions. The loft was extremely clean. I was impressed! We appreciated the loving attention to details, the eclectic, tasteful decor, and overall atmosphere of the loft. My husband enjoyed the small 2 person hot tub. The furniture and the beds were comfortable. The main bed had a memory foam topper and wonderfully soft linens and good pillows. A large main bathroom and 1.5 bathrooms downstairs. I might have liked stronger lights in the main bathroom for make up application, but that is a personal preference. The train came by a 2-3 times during our three night stay. The first time it was very early in the morning, a bit of noise and rattle and then it was over. No whistle blowing. The next time it came during the afternoon. No problem with that either. We did not perceive any negative noise from the industrial area around the loft. We could hear the neighbors some but not much. The location of the loft is great. Just a couple of blocks to Baker Street lined with shops and restaurants. We definitely recommend this place for 2-4 people and would stay there again. Thank you Chara for being such a gracious and responsive host! We had a great time!
