"From the moment we arrived, we knew we had found something special. The pool, hot tub, and gardens were absolutely incredible. Every morning we wandered through the garden picking fresh raspberries, and being able to harvest carrots and beets was memorable touch. It felt like our own little private paradise. And the views? Simply breathtaking—you never get tired of looking at them.Our young granddaughter practically lived in the pool! It was the highlight of her vacation, and watching her have so much fun made the trip even more special for all of us. And what a joy to allow the dogs to run free in the grassy area.Although the property feels wonderfully private and tucked away from the hustle and bustle, we were pleasantly surprised to find a well-stocked grocery store only about 10 minutes away. One thing that really impressed us was how thoughtfully equipped the home was. We've stayed in many vacation rentals where we've had to buy basic items like spices, coffee, sugar, ketchup, mustard, and other condiments. Not here! This home was stocked with virtually everything you could possibly need.We even experienced a major windstorm during our stay that knocked out the power throughout the area. Thankfully, the home has a backup generator which showed how well prepared the owners are.I grew up in the Kootenays and wanted a place close enough to visit family in Castlegar while still feeling like we were truly on vacation. This property was absolutely perfect. Thanks!"
