Kootenay Wild

It was everything we had thought it would be and a very impressive suite.

Absolutely Fantastic!

If you like quiet and relax stay, this is the right place to stay. The room is so clean and nice, washroom is so so big.

Third time there,only place to stay

Just one word: BEAUTIFUL!!

The property is beautiful. The hosts are very nice. It’s about a half hour drive to Nelson, but on the bright side, we were also only about 20 mins from Ainsworth Hot Springs in the other direction.

It was a fantastic stay. I was there to visit Kaslo Jazz Festival and not expecting anything. But the place was sooo comfortable and quiet. It was such a relaxing stay.

I mistakenly believed the property had cooking facilities. Beautiful and excellent otherwise.

Visited earlier in the year. Went to nearby hikes at the lake but during the time we stayed, and visited the hot springs. The hosts were great and attended our needs. Hosts recommended sites and nearby eateries, including showing us the up and coming services to be provided in the future. Had a very nice and pleasant quiet stay, as the suite was nice and large. When we get more time, would love to come back.

The home is beautiful with each suet having a view of Kootenai Lake. We enjoyed sitting on the little patio overlooking the mountains and the lake and breathing the fresh air. The suet was very well appointed with gorgeous floors, lighting, fireplace, luxurious bedding.

This was a beautiful place with lots to do in the area.

A beautiful and quiet place, will go back again!

Our favorite spot to stay in the Kootenays

Excellent stay. Everything was PERFECT!

Incredible stay; we'll certainly be back. Richard was a wonder host.

We love this little gem. Our go to place away from home when we visit the Kootenays.

They thought of everything - we look forward to coming back! We loved it!!

This property was clean, the staff (owner) was super friendly, and there was stuff to do for little kids. The room we stayed in was immaculately clean and we were also welcomed with little chocolates. We had everything we needed and it was very quiet.

The house / suite was beautiful. The owner was very nice. Would highly recommend this place.

Very comfortable and roomy. Lovely view. Only downside is about half an hour from Nelson and no restaurants closer than that. But thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

It was excellent. We look forward to returning soon.

What a fabulous property! The owners are so friendly. The pickle ball and basketball court are awesome for kids after a long car ride. Our room was very spacious and comfortable!

This was a very lovely place - spacious, clean and comfortable. We also enjoyed the outside sports area where one could either play pickleball, badminton or throw a basketball!

The most perfect vacation retreat.This is our second stay and it didn’t disappoint.It is the only place to stay in the Nelson- Balfour area. Barry

Great space. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and awakening to the songbirds every morning.

The property itself is stunning with an incredible view of the lake. The hosts are some of the most hospitable that I’ve ever met. If you love sports like basketball, badminton or pickleball this is your place!

We both enjoyed our stay, beautiful facility , beautiful view , very relaxing...

A fantastic 'Home Base' for a Getaway Retreat... Close to the Balfour / Kootenay Bay Ferry Crossing... Hiking & Climbing, Golf, Water Sports a short drive away in all directions, as are Ainsworth Hot Springs, Kaslo, and Nelson / Balfour for terrific dining! You'll love it!

The host was very friendly and the property is immaculate❤️

What a gem. Absolutely beautiful facilities surrounded by natures beauty.

Amazing suite. Had everything we needed for our trip! So clean and very elegant. I recommend it for a couples get away!

The owners were great!

This was an unexpected treat especially for the cost per night! The grounds were impeccable!

This place was absolutely amazing with a beautiful view. Friendly and courteous staff. I would definitely recommend the Kootenay Wild and we will see you again.

The property was beautiful. There was a pickle ball court and basketball. The property was perfectly manicured with lots of beautiful vegetation. I'm a walker so walked the hills in the neighborhood daily. Lots of peace and serenity there. I would go back again. Sharon Wold

Suberb in all respects

It was quiet and very clean

It was Awesome - great place

amazing spot with an amazing view

We stayed here for 3 nights over the long weekend in September. Rooms and property were beautiful. Small putting green, basketball, and Pickleball court there! Richard the owner was great!

Beautiful property, attentive staff.

We where surprised by the quality of the whole

Great scenery, quiet, well appointed room and amenities. Only problem the air conditioning wasn’t working.The property manager said it was overloaded because of the heat 37 deg.That wasn’t the case. The system was only blowing warm air. No sleep one night borrowed a fan for last 2. It’s half way through summer. The air conditioner didn’t just quit working. Too bad but I wouldn’t stay therein any above or below normal temperatures.

Was a beautiful place to stay! Loved it! And the owners are amazing, make you feel right at home.

The property is fabulous! Large, spacious rooms with lovely furniture. A private outdoor patio, allows for sunrise and sunset views. Very quiet and relaxing. Easy 35 minute drive to Nelson. Thank you Richard and Pat. We will be back 😊

An excellent super clean property. The views are fantastic and easy access off the main highway. Excellent value for the money. We've stayed here previously & are always impressed with this accommodation. The hosts are very helpful and extremely nice people. Thanks again for another great stay!

Great spot. Very quiet. It was cold and rainy so I didn’t get a change to enjoy the outside amenities but there are lots of things to do on site. The room was spacious and very clean. Would stay again for sure.

The view was stunning. A little hard to find the driveway with the snow mounds from plowing of roads but that is expected in the mountains.

Can’t say enough good things about our visit at Kootenay Wild. Really friendly owners and the place is absolutely gorgeous. Will definitely be back.

The scenery was absolutely gorgeous and the rooms were big and spacious and very clean. The owners were very helpful and friendly. They were always there if you needed anything we would definitely stay there again. Two thumbs-up

Beautiful place

Brand new place, very comfortable bed, microwave, coffee, terrific shower. Would come back for sure!

Lighting was really bright .......it was hard for one person to sleep. The fridge had no freezer compartment for ice packs. Everything else was great.

Beautiful accommodations and setting! Wonderful stay!

Amazing place with majestic view. Super clean room. Nice and helpful owner. Wanted to stay another night in the property but it was booked. Would love to come back again.

Stayed one night on our travels. Host was excellent. Room was very clean. Thank you.

Beautiful location. Very nice cozy private huge suite

This place was far better then we expected. very comfortable and welcoming. We will be back agaim

Clean, new, nice owners, spectacular view with lots to do.

Beautiful place, immaculately kept, fabulous location, quiet and serene but with fun amenities. Would go back for sure.

This large property is located in a residential subdivision about a five minute drive from the Balfour ferry. The owner was very professional and helpful. We had a beautiful and spacious room with high-quality linens, large TV (with satellite) and a comfortable bed. Our room had a fantastic view and the cost was very reasonable. We would certainly stay here again.

Beautiful room with an epic view .the suite was immaculately clean and well furnished. We look forward to coming back.

Amazing venue, room and staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended

We booked our room online and then travelled 30 min from Nelson bc to the inn, just as we arrived there we received a phone call that they had booked the room already, it was late and we had travelled all day so it was not good for us

A hidden gem we've stayed at before. Close to the ferry & a short drive to Nelson. If you want to swim, fish, hike, bike or boat this place is close to it all. The owners are very friendly & super helpful. The accommodation is top rated with comfortable & spotless interior. You can sit outside your room & relax with spectacular lake views or practice your putting or badminton skills on the property.

Very clean, beautiful room! The back deck has a lovely view. Easy check in! Had a decent meal at the nearby Golf Course. Our room had a very comfortable mattress. Only suggestion, bring your own pillow if you can. A bit too thick for my wee neck. Would highly recommend!! Better than staying in a resort or hotel!

We stayed for 2 nights at Kootenay wild while visiting the Nelson area. Wish we could have stayed longer! 5 star all the way. Our room was fantastic with a beautiful view of the lake and mountains. Very quiet and bed was so comfortable. The owners have taken care of every detail to make your stay enjoyable. Highlight of our B.C. vacation!

Very strict, felt unwelcome right from the time we arrived. Felt like the owner was breathing down our necks the entire timewas breathing down our neck
