The Kootenay Cottage is one of the few accommodations in the area which is pet friendly! I LOVE dogs! The cottage is located on the south side of the West Arm of the Kootenay Lake, in the Nelson Range of Mountains (the historic town of Nelson, B.C., is located on the same side of the West Arm). The cottage is just steps away from Mill Creek trail-head and the West Arm Provincial Park.
The shore of the Kootenay Lake is a short 5 minute walk, where guests may enjoy the public access to a white sandy beach. Enjoy kayaking, canoeing, fishing or a dip in the lake. Mill Creek Trail-head is steps from the cottage and guests enjoy the short or long hikes up the mountain with or without their dogs. The cottage is close to amenities including biking, fishing, golf, the Kootenay Lake Ferry, restaurants, pubs and Ainsworth Hot Springs. Kokanee Provincial Park and Kokanee Glacier, where the hiking trails and views are one-of-a-kind, are only a short drive or bike away. Kaslo is just a 30 minute drive along the glacier lake........
Your queen bed has luxurious 400 count 100% cotton sheets and your choice of allergy-free pillows or down pillows.
The Kootenay Cottage is located on a quiet dead-end road which backs up to hundreds of thousands of acres of pristine Crown land, part of the Nelson Range of mountains. The Kokanee Glacier range is your view from the cottage deck......
You will enjoy the quiet days on the deck after your hike, bike or kayak surrounded by forest, mountains and the sounds and view of wildlife.....
In your fully equipped kitchen, we provide you with complimentary tea and coffee, stainless steel pots and pans, plates, silverware, kitchen towels, dish soap, toaster, french coffee press, blender, microwave, oven, stove and fridge......and the best mountain spring water you will ever taste!

The Kootenay area is a dog's wonderland! The cottage is located on a dog friendly dead end road, steps away from the Provincial park where you can hike with your dog off-leash. There are dozens of trails minutes from the cottage and wonderful beaches to enjoy with your dog!

View from the Mill Creek hiking trail, a 40 minute hike up the mountain behind the cottage. This hike is great for dogs, with small water features along the way. A wide switchback road up the mountain makes it an easy to moderate hike. I suggest taking the 20 minute hike down through the forest next to the creek with view points along the way. Dogs love this hike! |

The "cliffs", as we locals call this private and quiet look-out on the lake, is only a 20 minute hike from the cottage. A lovely place to bring a picnic lunch or enjoy napping in the shade. The trail leads you to the Lasca Creek trail-head in the West Arm Provincial Park where you will see water falls and view of the lake and Kokanee range. This is one of many great hikes for dogs off-leash.
Osprey abound on the Kootenay Lake.........
Early spring bring out the new cubs which are plentiful along along the scenic Kaslo to New Denver pass.......
Black bear can be seen grazing on the side of the roads during spring and early summer.........
The Kootenays in the fall.......once you experience the Kootenays, you will long to visit again and again...
