My husband and I had a wonderful relaxing few days. Very clean, warm and inviting. We talked into the night around the raised stone firepit. Enjoyed barbequed suppers and relaxed in the sauna. Just be informed that if you have trouble walking the area around the cabin is uphill and rocky. It's very nice and beautiful but I have knee problems and it's good to be aware ahead of time. There's also a beautiful view of the lake through the day and at night.

Immaculate Cabin, Lovely Host

Overall 5 star stay: absolutely immaculately clean on arrival and incredibly well-stocked kitchen (I sort of wish I realized before the trip was almost over there was a crock pot for meal planning while out skiing! 🥰).Sauna was so lovely, and we really enjoyed the view from the covered deck. Super thoughtful doggy welcome bag that made the cabin feel like home! Watch for deer - we saw so many right at the cabin.Not too isolated, not too far from town. The property is quirky, very Kootenays: it worked really well for us, but walking the dog on the road was not our favourite (I know there are incredible hikes close by, but for that quick morning walk, the road is a bit narrow - it reminded me a bit of being on the Sunshine Coast). Other than that, absolutely awesome spot, and genuinely pet-friendly!Your host at this location will be one of the best you’ve ever met. Just a lovely person, and great communication.Wonderful time!

Great View and Access to Downtown/Whitewater

The property was great. Awesome view of the Kootenay River and Nelson. The host was very nice, and we had several interactions with her. My only small complaint is the way that the rates are advertised. The place sleeps 4, but they rate is for 2 people. You will be charged an extra $30 per night per person extra. Also, you will be charged $25 if you do not wash and put away any dishes. It is these sorts of hidden fees with VRBO that annoy me compared to a hotel.

Cool cabin with great character, quiet, close to Nelson

We were impressed with the combination of rustic charm and modern updates in the Morning Star Cabin. The owner/manager has clearly put a lot of thought into providing everything guests may need. Will stay here again the next time we're in Nelson.

Cozy Serene Cabin

Great cabin. Clean, well appointed and quiet. Only a 5 minute drive to town. Beautiful, serene views from the front porch. We had a great 3 day stay. The best part was Maria! Maria could not have been more pleasant and gracious. She is creating a multi dwelling glamping retreat. We will definitely be back.

This cabin was super cozy in a very serene setting. Everything was fully supplied in the kitchen and bathroom. Maria was very responsive and helpful with any questions. I highly recommend staying at this wonderful cabin if you are looking for a quiet setting when visiting Nelson and a 6 min drive to the city center. We had our dog with us and he was even relaxed. We will definitely stay here again at our next visit to Nelson. Thanks again, Maria.

Exceptional experience

We had a wonderful stay. The property was beautiful, clean, and with an amazing view. There was plenty of room. Check in and out were seamless. Our kid was delighted with the loft. Maria anticipated our needs, and was available if needed. She checked in regularly, without being intrusive at all. She even brought us fresh basil and scapes from her garden. Honestly, there was nothing that I would have wanted different. We will be back.

Quiet lake view cabin

This well equipped cabin although located on a mountain side with bunkies and.other houses is situated to be completely private. We enjoyed the beautiful views from 2 outside decks,song birds and a large green space to roam. Maria, the host, was only a phone call away but after greeting us left us to enjoy this tranquil beauty. Nelson is only a short drive and if you also bring your dog there is a great off leash walk and swim area for pets along Kootenay lake in downtown Nelson. We loved it all
