We bought this property in 2008 as raw land with an old off-grid 1950's cabin on it. While the log structure was sound, the cabin needed some major renovations to be liveable. We undertook renovations, lived in it for 6 months and then moved into a yurt on a more accessible section of our property. We now run the cabin as a short term rental, have another small rental next to our house and we are using the yurt for gatherings, retreats and yoga classes! For more info, visit our website: https://for-rest.ca Learn more about this land: AVAILABLE ALL YEAR! A backcountry-style off-grid cabin in a perfect location to explore the Kootenays. THIS CABIN IS ACCESSED BY A 0.7 KM HIKING TRAIL ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. Enjoy privacy and be close to nature at the base of Keystone Mountain. Far enough to feel like you are away from it all, close enough to experience all the Kootenays have to offer. Campfires are permitted when there is no fire ban. We have firewood available to purchase - please add this as an extra at the time of booking. Close to world-class ski hills and backcountry skiing, excellent hiking and mountain biking opportunities and even private trails right out your door. Enormous snowy peaks, clear lakes, and waterfalls characterize this mountain playground in southeastern British Columbia, where visitors can expect backcountry adventures, endless singletrack mountain bike trails, hiking trails, mineral hot springs, and small towns with vibrant arts and culture scenes. Our property is located just outside of Salmo, in the Hub of the Kootenays. 30 minutes from Nelson, Castlegar, Trail, Kootenay Pass, and Champion Lakes.AVAILABLE ALL YEAR!

Perfect quick and easy respite.

Great tent campsite with a big swath of grassy open area where kids can play. Terrific little trail system easily accessible. A little bit close to the highway, but well sheltered for privacy.

It was easy to find the property with very good directions. The camping area was level and nicely secluded.

We really enjoyed our stay. The camping area is tucked into the site in a way that made it feel very private. The unique outhouse was very clean. An adjacent open area gave us lots of room to play with our dogs and access to the trail system provided an opportunity for a very pleasant evening walk.

Great spot! Lots of room.

We enjoyed our camping at For Rest. Right off the highway, site was clean and good size. There was a nice picnic table with umbrella and outhouse. Would definitely stay again!
