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.

Great family spot
A most comfortable stay with 6 adults, 2 kids and one infant. Lots of room for everyone. Kitchen was well-stocked for preparing meals. Kristen has created a welcoming space for her guests and we had everything we needed for our stay. Great view from the back deck. Close to downtown. Bike storage available. Thanks, Kristen. We would definitely stay again next time we meet up in Nelson.

Christmas in Nelson
We needed a place that could accommodate our family for Christmas and we’re glad we chose this property. It’s a large heritage home within walking distance to downtown. The kitchen is roomy and we easily cooked a feast for dinner. They even put up a Christmas tree us! I highly recommend this property.

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.
