I bought this magical property 13 years ago and I have developed it from beach to mountain with the idea of sharing it with epic humans since day 1. It is 1 acre of pure natural and artistic bliss. The natural wonders include a massive beach with space for many, a gigantic sling shot, sweet fire pits, comfortable lawn chairs, paddle boards, kayaks, a cedar strip canoe, and many other toys for you to explore. I also have a small fishing boat and 16ft catamaran that I can take guests out on for a small fee. There are 2 locations that can be rented separately or booked together, however there are also a couple of sites to pitch a tent on. Its like jurassic park here, very tropical and chill. The artful camper boasts of an outdoor spa and deck, BBQ, mini fridge, fantastic lake and mountain views and access and the beach from 10-8pm. The other rental a.k.a. The beach-house comes with an attached outdoor 1950's style kitchen, oudoor on demand shower, outhouse, firepits, lawnchairs, and free use of water vessels. Very, very cool. It is located steps from the water. Truly magical.Whether you’re looking for peace and quiet with an incredible lake and mountain view, or an interactive beach experience, look no further. Come and experience Kootenay Lakeside living in an artful, playful and health-restoring environment with 5 bar Wi-FI!! Free use of my paddle boards, kayak, and cedar strip canoe. Plunk your lawn chair in the lake, grab your book, chill and drink your ice cold beer under an umbrella, or play on the many water vessels provided. The fully restored camper has 1 bed and is suitable for 2. There is no room to set up an extra bed, however, for a fee, there is a tent site 20ft away that you may book for friends or kids. The spa hosts a turn of the century tub for you to soak in while you admire the light shining through the vintage stain glass. There are two rental locations on the property, so you may be sharing the beach amenities with another group. Please be respectful and courteous. Or, perhaps you want to rent both locations for your family or friends.

Artful and Playful Lakeside Retreat

Brad

Beautiful space, nice and peaceful. Host was very friendly and fun. Accommodated us with a propane fire pit due to fire ban which was very kind. Only complaint is we wished we could have stayed longer ! Would recommend for sure .
