YOUR CEDAR SANCTUARY AWAITS
Escape to your own private retreat - a beautifully crafted off-grid tiny house where digital detox meets rustic comfort. Nestled among towering cedars and hemlock, this is where busy minds find peace and adventure-seekers find their basecamp.
THE LAKE EXPERIENCE
Just a peaceful 2.5km walk (or quick drive) to Rosebud Lake - a pristine, spring-fed gem that's refreshingly warm and perfect for swimming. This motor-free lake is home to hundreds of friendly turtles and giant dragonflies that keep the mosquitos at bay. Bring your kayak, canoe, or paddleboard for the ultimate serenity. There is one community boat launch for the lake which naturally is a popular spot. It's understood by the locals to Salmo that this is a shared and friendly access point.
ADVENTURE CENTRAL
Your tiny house sits at the heart of incredible year-round recreation:
• Summer: Hiking, fishing, canoeing, jet boating on three major rivers (Pend Oreille, Columbia, Kootenay)
• Winter: Backcountry and downhill skiing, snowmobiling
• Always: Peaceful lake moments and forest walks
LOCATION PERKS:
Central to Salmo, Trail, Castlegar, and Nelson, with easy access from Spokane and Creston. The charming Rosebud Mercantile is just a gentle walk away for local eggs, local author books, and simple refreshments.
YOUR COZY RETREAT This new-construction tiny house features:

• Comfort: Twin futon plus extra single mattress for larger parties
• Outdoor kitchen: Propane BBQ and two-burner stove
• Privacy: Completely secluded among the trees
• Essentials: Well water provided, traditional outdoor facilities
What to bring: Your own bedding, flashlight, hand towels and towels for swimming, your favourite camp cooking essentials (i.e. some basics are in play) cooler & ice, and a sense of adventure! This is authentic off-grid living with thoughtful comfort touches.
Hot showers available by request ($5 propane, cash) - or take that refreshing lake dip!
BONUS: GAZEBO SITE AVAILABLE For larger groups, check out our gazebo site with perfect sunrise and sunset views. AND COMING SOON: Bicycles!! I just have to fix them up :)

Stayed for 5 days and skiied up at Kootenay Pass. Home was clean, well cared for and well setup with dishes, pots, pans, and a stove. Phil was a great host and met us when we arrived to give us a tour. He was more than accommodating to our larger group and the extra water and gas we went through. We would love to come back again next winter, thanks alot! - Ben Nate Myles Mathias Bernie and Sam

1 night at Best West Kootenay Tiny House
Phil's tiny house is a super cute spot and we really enjoyed our time there. He is a super friendly, easy-going host and welcomed us in person when we arrived. He gave us a tour of the property and showed us everything we needed to know about the cabin, like how the solar power systems works and how to turn on the lights. I really enjoyed chatting with Phil and hearing about how he developed his land. The tiny house is rustic but we had everything we needed. It's set in a beautiful forest and at sunset, the sun shines through the trees which had a very magical vibe ✨ It is suuuper quiet there, both at Phil's property and also at Rosebud Lake which we explored the next morning thanks to Phil's kind offer to let us use his canoe which he even drove to the lake for us and picked it up 2 hours later. If you're looking for peace and quiet, this is the right place for you!

Word of the day: Peaceful.
If you want to reconnect to nature this is the place. And when nature calls - you get the cleanest, comfiest outhouse I’ve ever seen.
Monet would have loved to paint Herman Lake! It was hard to leave.

We loved camping at this spot, one of the best camp trips we've ever had. Great, friendly hospitality from Dean and Debbie and everything you would need for a great camping experience, including chopped firewood, wifi and drinking water right by the site. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets as well, and a lovely lounge area for cooking/washing dishes/hanging out, we will definitely return again when possible!

We had such a wonderful stay at Herman Lake Wilderness Campground! 🌿✨ Catieln is the most friendly and welcoming host, and her beautiful family made us feel right at home. The campground is so quiet and peaceful—it was exactly the getaway we needed.
Our kids loved petting the sheep, picking berries, spotting butterflies, frogs, and lizards—and were thrilled to see a baby moose! We enjoye fishing at Herman Lake, and White Lake (just minutes away) was also fantastic.
This is truly a beautiful place, we will definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful, family-friendly escape! ❤️🐑🎣🦋

My girlfriend and I were Phil’s first guests for his tent deck and gazebo and it was amazing. It ended up raining on us and was a little cloudy for the evening but the gazebo was a perfect place to hangout and make supper. The sunrise in the morning was beautiful to watch from above the trees. The view of the mountain range was awesome.
Our tent that we brought was 7’x9’ and hung off the side a little, but we were able to tie it down easily.
Phil was an amazing host and very accommodating. He showed us to the site and even helped us carry our stuff up to the tent deck. We came prepared with potable water and a camp stove but it was also available. The directions to the site were very clear and he was quick to respond with very clear instructions. We would totally stay again!

This is a beautiful and remote campsite. The hosts are really friendly and have a very cute pup! The sites are private and the toilets are very clean. There is a foot pump tap by the toilet so you can wash your hands. Site 9 has a water tap (not potable) beside it so you can easily clean your dishes. I highly recommend this site. We had a great time exploring the property, picking berries, and looking at the stars at night. Thanks so much!
