About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Heritage Home: fully licensed

This restored heritage home was built in 1898 for one of the most prominent families of British Columbia. It encapsulates the architectural style and character of the era, charm and history of the region and provides a unique and authentic stay for visitors.

Nestled amidst breathtaking natural beauty, guests have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the region's history, culture, and outdoor activities.

Located in Nelson's Uphill neighbourhood we are a 5 minute walk to downtown and 2 blocks away from the Uphill Market where you can get a delicious Latte, snacks and grocery basics.
High enough up the mountain to be off of Mainstreet but low enough that it is an easy walk uphill.
Close to the Alpine hotel where the ski hill shuttle picks up.

Anniversary celebration
The 6 of us ( friends) were in town to celebrate an anniversary. The accommodations were close to everything we required. The house had more than enough bedrooms and the shared spaces gave everyone elbow room. The host was very quick with responsing to all our questions and requirements. We would highly recommend this unit.

Great heritage home for large groups!
We came to Nelson for a family wedding and a group of us wanted to stay together to get extra time to visit. This house was perfect! From the cute little coffee area outside overlooking the lake, to the several floors of hide and seek to entertain smaller kids, to the tasteful, contemporary decorations in a stylish heritage home. There’s nothing bad to say about this place. The house owners were very easy to communicate with, generous with the amount of towels and coffee and other small things you may need if you were to stay and cook. As the house is older, it only had two bathrooms. So getting ready for the wedding could have been a challenge, but a few mirrors in other places around the house helped and the hot water never ran out, which was a bonus. Our only regret is that we all didn’t arrive earlier to enjoy the place longer! Would definitely recommend or stay here again.

We booked this amazing house for 6 nights with 3 teenagers, a preteen and couple. Everyone was so happy to have their own amazing space. Everything was immaculate and available. Would recommend this for anyone traveling with kids. Great location, walking distance to everything and Kristin was a wealth of information and easily accessible.

Absolutely Fantastic
Various members of our family travelled from long distances to attend a wedding in Nelson. Our host was very helpful and answered my questions immediately. The house was extremely well appointed, including comfortable beds for all of us, plenty of towels, and even a steamer which was put to good use as four generations prepared for the event. The kitchen was fully stocked and spacious, the deck and yard were lovely and there was enough parking for several vehicles. We absolutely loved our time at this house and would highly recommend it to others. The gorgeous view was an added bonus!

House and host both excellent
The house is beautiful, and the view of the lake from the back deck is breathtaking. The kitchen is beyond well equipped. When prepping meals for our crew - everything we hoped to find we found! The bedrooms are pretty, and super comfortable. Kristin is really responsive but also has that lovely Kootenay vibe. Welcoming and relaxed. Best rental experience ever! Thanks Kristine.

This spot was great for us. good bedrooms, good kitchen, easy walk into Nelson, and a short drive to the ski area. The one thing we would suggest for improvement is better lighting and seating for reading. But all in all, we would definitely come back.

Fantastic Heritage House in Nelson!
We just finished a six night stay in February at this fantastic location. The house is a 120 year old gem just a 7 minute walk from the city centre that has had just the right amount of updating to provide modern comforts while maintaining a heritage feel in keeping with the City of Nelson. Tastefully decorated, the house has five large bedrooms each with a comfortable queen or king size bed, one of which is a "loft" (basically, the upper floor) with a pull out couch for additional sleeping. Each room has ample storage space, the kitchen is modern, with every utensil you could consider. One modern bathroom, and one older Victorian style (claw tub with shower and separate toilet facilities - brought me back to houses of my youth). Full laundry facilities. The back of the house has a great little deck with a view of the road coming into town and the Slocan river snaking away in towards Castlegar. The house is very close to town (five/six minutes there, a few extra back - it is up the hill from Nelson). Nelson itself has lots of great little restaurants, coffee houses and bars, and cute shopping opportunities - far more than you would expect in a city of its size (about 10,500). There is lots to do around Nelson (we spent most of our time skiing at Whitewater - similarly deserving of a rave review). The host (Kristin) is super responsive and helpful, and maintains a very clean house. Loved it, will definitely return.

Cool house in a great spot
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this nicely renovated Victorian in the heart of Nelson. Plenty of room for 7 adults who didn't want to share beds. The location is excellent - a short walk to the restaurants and shops downtown and a quick 15 minute drive to Whitewater ski resort. The host was very responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Ski trip with friends
The house is great. Large enough for 6 guys each having their own room except the two sharing the loft. The house is very nice, comfortable and has way more extras that any other house we've stayed at. The pictures did not do the place justice. I was a bit concerned how it would be because the pictures were so bad. We took a chance and it was worth it. The house has such old world charm but with newer furnishings, lots of outlets, big enough kitchen to cook and great view of the lake from the Kitchen and Livingroom. It has apple tv with many subscriptions and plenty of room for all of us to hang out. Its about a 10min walk to most places downtown so we didn't drive once we got home from the ski hill. Kristen was extremely quick to respond when we couldn't get the door open(hopefully they change the electric lock). I highly recommend staying here. We'll be back.
