About this property

Queens Bay Hideaway Lakefront Cottage

A rare private Kootenay Lakefront cottage that is nestled at the end of a quiet no-thru road at the edges of the sheltered Queens Bay. The cottage is located 30 minutes between Nelson and Kaslo just North of the Balfour Ferry Terminal.

The completely renovated 700 square foot cottage is the only residence on the property and sleeps 5-6 people with two bedrooms including a Queen bed, two single beds and a sofa couch. The inside of the cottage, with its' wood interior is bright and has large windows looking out to the lake. You can watch the sun and moon rise over the Purcell Mountains while the ferry passes in front between Balfour and Crawford Bay and the loons call in the bay. It is an easy walk to the Balfour Golf Course across the roadway or take the forested trail along the lake into the little community of Balfour where there is a wonderful bakery, convenience store and two pub/restaurants on the water.

Relax on the brand new and larger deck that was just completed April 2017, or swim in the warmest waters of Kootenay Lake then head out and explore what the area has to offer from Golf that is five minutes away, hot springs (Ainsworth Hot Springs is 20 mins away), cave exploring, fishing charters, hiking, mountain biking or zip-lining and end the day at one of the excellent restaurants or pubs a short distance away. The perfect way to wind down after an action packed day is a campfire down at the beach.

We have been renting our other Kootenay Lakefront cabin (Kootenai Hideaway) near Kaslo for over ten years. In the Spring of 2016 we completed a major renovation of Queens Bay Hideaway and have had guests since April who have all had positive comments. For some of the reviews, please look at our ad in the website for both of our cabins. Ask to have a copy of the Day Trip Distance and local Information package sent to you.
Pets are considered with an additional fee of $20 per pet per night and collected separately by owners.
Note: Queens Bay Hideaway is located 2 Kms North of the Balfour Ferry Terminal on Green Rd.

Fantastic getaway
We had a very relaxing getaway at your beautiful cottage. We had every thing we needed. The kids were comfortable. The location is fantastic. Just far enough away yet close enough to whatever adventures you want. We enjoyed our Kootenay holiday!
