Lovely property with a fabulous view! Plenty of space and rooms were well separated allowing for privacy. Found everything that we needed for a one week stay. I was worried that because it was not air conditioned we would be too hot as they were calling for temperatures in the mid 30’s. In fact it was not an issue. Lots of fans in the house and by opening up the windows each night (the windows are all screened), and then closing them during the day we were very comfortable. The owners answered emails promptly. Loved the area. Would recommend Balfour golf! All in all, a fabulous week. Thank you Charlotte and Robin

Was a wonderful stay. Great space. Hard to park, would recommend a reflective marker at the top as it was not the easiest to navigate with a truck. Clean and easy to use home. Wish the home book was easy to locate as we had to search for the binder. Lots of games and toys made it fun for the kids. Kids liked the hidden rooms in the closets. And the water on the night stands was nice.. kids always need water.

Beautiful house in a great location

This house was perfect for a family get together. My mother has limited mobility (she uses a walker) and having the master bedroom and walk in shower on the main floor was great for her. The owners were wonderful and communicative.

We stayed here for a family vacation. Age ranging from 82 to 13 years old. It was a perfect layout, (because of mobility issues )having bedrooms on the main floor . The house has a lot of room so we never felt we were on top of each other. Has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Spectacular View - Beautiful Home

Gorgeous view from large windows and a great patio where we spent many hours chatting and barbecuing. All the amenities that anyone could want in a rental home including lots of kid toys to keep our little ones entertained. Close proximity to explore Nelson and the many hiking trails in the area. It is also literally 5 minutes from the ferry. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful property with a spectacular view

Our family from various locations in Alberta and Saskatchewan arrived in Balfour for 4 days for the internment of my Mom. Robin and Charlotte did their best to accommodate our early arrival. Their communication was very prompt. The driveway proved to be the only challenge with this rental as it is very steep. However, all of the amenities of this property far outweigh this inconvenience. The kitchen has everything required to cook for a large group, and the view is absolutely stunning. We would highly recommend this property!

Weekend getaway

We had such a wonderful stay! The house is lovely and the view of the lake is beautiful. We had a group of 8 people and everyone was very comfortable for the 3 night stay. The first night there was a thunderstorm and watching the lightning from the deck was spectacular! The location was great. Not too far from Nelson, and we enjoyed a variety of the trails at nearby Kokanee Creek. The old growth walk and Gibsons lake hikes were quite beautiful and easy, while some of our group tackled the more challenging peak hike. Another highlight was getting to see the nearby Redfish spawning area where the Kokanee were finishing their journey. We also had a lot of fun playing games and cooking meals together. It was also only about 20 minutes to Ainsworth hot springs so we enjoyed a soak after hiking and checked out one of the local pubs for dinner which was recommended in the house binder (Dock n Duck). The driveway is steep so you will want a capable vehicle, but we found it to be manageable. Overall, really great stay! Thank you so much!
