We stayed in the Kaslo unit for 5 days and had a fantastic summer getaway. The host was friendly and responsive, and the unit was well-equipped with everything we needed including AC for the hot nights. The beach was perfect for all ages to gather and enjoy summer activities and the hot tub was great in the evenings to relax. The location is not far from downtown, even walking distance to a lovely coffee shop. It had everything we needed for a comfortable, enjoyable stayâweâd definitely come back. Thanks so much to Shelley for making it a memorable weekend with family and friends.
Property was as advertised. Hosts Shelly and Bryce were very friendly, attentive and prompt when needed.
A very enjoyable stay of 7 days.
The water toys were easily accessible and in good condition.
We would definitely stay again!
Property was a well cared for, clean top floor location with walking down access to the beach. About 5 minutes from town. Owners are easy to communicate with and very responsive. We had an issue with a bed on the first night, and the owners replaced it right away - no fuss. We definitely will be back.
We had the most fantastic time at this river front home in Nelson, BC. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning views and the serene ambiance. The home itself is beautifully maintained and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay.The spacious living area was perfect for our group to relax and unwind, and the kitchen was well-stocked with all the essentials for cooking up some delicious meals. We especially enjoyed the large windows that offered breathtaking views of the river and surrounding mountains.The outdoor space was equally impressive. We loved the private hot tub, where we could relax and take in the stunning scenery after a day of adventure.Our host was incredibly accommodating. Shelleyâs attention to detail made our trip even more enjoyable.Overall, our stay was nothing short of amazing. We left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, and we're already planning our next visit. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a peaceful and unforgettable getaway!
Everything was fine until we wanted to check in. We couldnât find the address given. We were able to get directions by phone from the owner and had a short call with the propert manager as well. We didnât have any check in or out instructions, despite asking, so didnât know what to do with our garbage and recycling.
The kitchen is the best part of this place, lots of light and great views. The semi private beach is also great, bring water shoes as it is a rocky entry. There were lots of amenities for the water. Kayaks, toys etc.
The beds were unfortunately very uncomfortable, too soft and hammocky but the worst part were the linens. The fitted sheet was too small for the thick mattress and didnât stay on the bed. The sheet would bunch up and we would wake up on the scratchy and unprotected bare stained mattress. Which was icky. The pillows could also have protective covering and be more comfortable.
This place is an upstairs of a duplex. We were able to hear our downstairs neighbours when loud music was played but it was otherwise pretty quiet.
This place is surprisingly spacious, cozy and cute. The view was amazing and sitting in the hot tub looking at the lake was awesome. There are train tracks right beside the house but trains were few and far between and went so fast we hardly noticed. Beds and couch were comfortable to sleep on. Only complaint is that the kitchen could be a bit better stocked - there was no coffee pot for the coffee machine but mostly it was excellent. Nelson is a great town to visit and this place was great! Would be awesome in summer right on the beach.
The property is located in the perfect place for a quick drive to town but quiet and peaceful. The water was wonderful after my morning dip in the hot tub. The owner's were the best. Excellent stay in every way!
This place is great. You might be worried that the "retro" look really means just old stuff. Not true. It is very artistically done - with a great 60s look and not junky at all. The beach is fantastic, the swim platform, everything. Fantastic. The owner is super nice and very responsive to your needs.
This leads to my only complaint. There is an outdoor fireplace in the unit downstairs which has a chimney that ends just below this units windows and sliding door to the small deck. When we arrived I looked at this situation and was concerned. Sure enough after a few days, the downstairs renters lit a fire and smoked us out horribly!! We immediately contacted the owner and she had the downstairs renters put out the fire and brought them a propane fire pit as a replacement!! Now that is great responsiveness! BUT - well that chimney is still there... She talked about changing that fireplace into something else (like a pizza oven?) - but I would definitely ask about this situation before renting the loft. A house full of smoke is definitely no fun.
The train has been mentioned. Yes there is a train that goes by very close, but there are very few trains that pass, and not much whistle blowing. I say not an issue at all.
We were very pleased with our stay in the Loft Suite at Hickman's Hideaway, and we highly recommend it to others. The Loft has all the comforts of home--comfortable beds and couches, fully stocked kitchen, WiFi, AC, and more--with amazing lake views! The beach area is perfect for kids (and adults!) as kayaks, paddle boat, water mat, beach toys, life jackets, and chairs are available to use. Our two sons were in heaven!
What a great spot! The beach area is amazing...we had a great time!
Loft apartment was really cozy, had everything necessary to enjoy the stay.
One recommendation would be to have more screens on the windows that can open to allow more some of the breeze to come into the apartment in the evenings. I know bugs are pretty scarce there but it would give that option.
Overall great stay, Jess was super responsive and a great host! We would stay again!
This place is great. Wonderful hosts. Bigger than it looks in the pictures. Amenities it includes that are not in the listing: Private outdoor hot tub. Air conditioning. WiFi. 4 kayaks, a paddle boat, and life jackets. A little worried when we saw the train tracks so close but in three days only one train went by and the suite is sound-proofed very well (and train tracks are a fact of life in most mountain towns -- in Fernie the trains come through every couple of hours!). Will be back.
