Friendly
Cabin was lovely. Kitchen had everything we needed. The boat launch area is lovely for coffee in the am and wine in the evening. I wouldnt want to launch any type of craft there unless the water was flat calm but the kids caught some fish from shore:) . We had a great time.

Would definitely book again, very comfortable, nice a quiet, deer in the yard in the evening, everyone very friendly and the owners were great. Really enjoyed the wood burning stove and abundance of firewood. Perfect place for a rest and relaxation.

Great Property and Location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. All was as advertised. Good lake access and roomy, well-outfitted cabin in a quiet, lakeside subdivision. Check-in was easy and owner was very responsive to questions. Good access to ferry, hiking, and shopping.

Family Vacation
Wonderful place where we were able to fully enjoy Kootenay Lake. The lake access from the property is great for adults, when the grandchildren were here we went to nearby beaches and spent lots of time playing games and throwing frisbees in the large common green space behind the cabin. Located very close to Crawford Bay where there is a decent size grocery store, a large playground and a bakery with wonderful cinnamon buns. The weather was very hot too and the log construction was surprisingly cool, especially in the lower suite.

About the host

Hosted by Paul and Colleen Knudsgaard

Host profile image
We are currently from Prince George BC. Colleen is a teacher and Paul is a retired firefighter. We have two children 15 and 17. Paul grew up in the Kootenays, in Rossland. We visit often as Paul's mother still lives in Rossland and we love the skiing and outdoor recreation opportunities. The kid's cousins live in Kimberley and are the same age so we also enjoy visiting them when in the Kootenays.

Why they chose this property

Paul's cousin owns one of the cabins at The Bayview strata and we had visited him there a few times. When this cabin came up for sale we were thrilled to be able to own a cabin there as well.
