Kaslo summer riding season

Our stay was perfect. We trailered our motor bikes, to do some riging with friends on the amazing roads in the area, and needed adequate parking. The street parking was perfect. A little icing in the cake of this lovely vrbo.

Kaslo visit

The property was clean and tidy, overall a very cute little apartment. Everything we needed was there. Because it's located on a main road, truck traffic was a bit loud in the early morning. Otherwise, a lovely stay.

A great property in an amazing town. Close to all amenities. no terrific views if you’re looking for that. it is a shared building so we could hear children and other people in the evening. It wasn’t a problem, but it wasn’t crazy quiet. I will stay there again.

Absolutely loved our stay at Birkwood Cottage. Morning coffee on the porch in the sunshine was lovely. Cottage had everything we needed so that we could do our own meals. Very close to downtown, to bike paths, hike trails and walking paths and of course the water with Sandy and rocky shoreline. The town was abundant with little shops, grocery store and great restaurants. Commutation with the owners was easy and they responded quickly to whatever we needed. I would highly recommend Birkwood Cottage

I had some difficulty connecting with the landlord initially but once we got in it was easy to reach her. She was great to deal with and really helpful. The place was cute and had almost everything you could need when staying one or more days. It was on the highway but it wasn’t overly noisy most of the time.

A lovely heritage cottage (kept immaculately clean) steps from Kaslo’s superb walking trails and a surprising number of excellent restaurants. Charming design and layout. Cosy with a well tended garden/yard. Well stocked with lots of reference books re: local features and history. Friendly welcoming hosts. Kaslo itself is a remarkably beautiful destination for outdoor pursuits.
