Perfect location
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.

Spotless property with an amazing location and view over Kootenay Lake. High end finishing, comfortable furniture and a well equipped kitchen make this family friendly property a must stay for visiting Nelson and Ainsworth Hot Springs. Minutes from the Balfour ferry and Sandspit provincial park.

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!

Perfect fit for our family
My family has been coming to Kootenay Lake in the summer for close to 50 years and we unanimously agreed that the Eagleview Retreat Guest House was the most suitable accommodation we have had in all those years. The view, the amazing house, the second to none customer service from the home owners and the friendliness of area left us wanting more.

Perfect for a family
Beautiful well appointed house. Was great for our extended family. We had no one under 6 so didn’t need the crib and the youth bed just fit our 6 year old. So glad we brought a blow up bed for our 9 year old. Second kitchen was great for our gluten free kids.

Balfour Home away from Home
We were a group of 3 couples on motorcycles. Having the garage was great for storing our gear. Each couple had their own floor and bathroom. Kitchen and patio are fantastic, but could use some sharp knives. The only upgrades I would like to see would be a paved driveway and a hot tub. Driveway could be tricky for a motorcycle.

The house has plenty of room and the extra suite is a bonus. It is equipped with everything you need. Owners very quick to respond if anything is needed. The location is close to golf courses, zip lining and so many hiking paths. It can get a bit warm but fans are provided. Overall a great place for a family vacation!

Wonderful family vacation
We loved our stay in this beautiful home! We stayed with our 6 adult children and 2 babies and we had plenty of room and comfort for everyone. Robin and Charlotte have a beautiful, well-equipped home that suits large families very well. We loved hanging out on the spacious deck with gorgeous views of the lake. We were just minutes from some beautiful beaches (including a local favorite spot recommended by Robin himself) and the area is beautiful. Nelson is just 20 minutes away and is a beautiful place to shop and explore. Ainsworth Hotsprings is also very close by and well worth a visit. Thank you Robin and Charlotte - we all loved our stay and can highly recommend your place!
