Beautiful And Private Mountainside Log Cabin - Hot Tub And 10 Min From Nelson
Experience the town of Nelson and the Kootenay Mountains while living on your own private mountain side property located just outside of town. The Whitewater Chalet is the perfect balance of nature, tranquility and accessibility to experience endless adventure and Nelson, one of the greatest mountain towns in North America, and the cultural capital of the region. Tucked away, roughly 10 min from the town of Nelson, the chalet is nestled on a private property surrounded by lush forest with a creek, waterfall and private trails steps from the door. Enjoy an 8-person hot tub, two outdoor deck spaces, seating benches, walking trails and more.
In the winter, you’ll be the closest lodging option to Whitewater Ski Resort, just five minutes up our road. In the summer, access from the Chalet is endless with mountain biking, hiking, fishing, SUP, climbing and more at your finger tips. It’s the absolute perfect base camp for daily adventure.
Winter Access Warning - Please plan for winter driving conditions. 4WD, snow tires and/or chains are recommended for access to the chalet.
The Chalet is used exclusively as a vacation rental property and is maintained to be very clean and comfortable for all guests.
The beautifully finished, hand-built log cabin has everything you’ll need through all seasons to be comfortable. You’ll stay warm burning stocked wood in the wood stove, the cabin’s centered feature. You’ll stay hydrated drinking the greatest tasting water on earth, drawn from the Rambling Creek and waterfall next to the property.
The Whitewater Chalet’s main floor has a large open living space centered around a wood burning stove with a chimney stack that rises all the way to the ceiling. The open kitchen with counter seating and two adjacent dining table areas will keep everyone in your group together. The main floor of the chalet also has a large mudroom, laundry area and full bath. The large deck space off of the main floor has a nice outdoor table and chair set.
The downstairs level has two bedrooms (2 double beds in each room that can easily be pushed together) and a full bath with a stand-up shower.
The open loft level, upstairs from the main floor has a full bed and another twin bed if you need extra sleeping space.
A few steps from the main cabin is the guest cabin, a stand-alone, heated, private bedroom with a queen size bed. Guests sleeping in the guest cabin are just a few steps away from the full bathroom on the main floor level of the chalet. The walkway is nicely lit at night. The guest cabin is a unique addition to the property that will make you feel like you’re “glamping.” It’s absolutely perfect for a couple looking for privacy. Access the cabin from a short meandering path or an elevated staircase that drops you into the mountain forest utopia.

We had a wonderful stay over Christmas! The chalet was well stocked, the beds were comfortable, and the hot tub was a hit, especially as the snowflakes were falling. I would definitely stay here again.
We had an amazing time at whitewater chalet! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The hosts were incredible and made sure we had everything we needed. The location was perfect for skiing up at whitewater and we especially loved having apres and charcuterie by the fire and the hot tub. We can't wait for our next stay —highly recommend!
This place is the perfect private cabin . Cabin has everything you will need. Your not going to be wowed by ultra luxury but the place has its own charm that I would not want too change ! Long ass drive for us but we will be back!
Perfect location for a ski getaway! This quirky home was great for us to base out of during our trip to Whitewater. We had a little trouble getting into the house on arrival, but the owners were quick to respond and get us in the property. If you come to ski, make sure you have 4WD. The driveway is no joke :)
Love the convenient location for a home base. The property has a nice rustic cabin feel. It is clean (aside from a few dust bunnies that go with a log cabin) and has good amenities to make your stay great. The beds are comfortable, although they are short for tall people. In the kitchen there could be more cutlery (forks?!) and new frying pans. There was no propane for the outdoor grille so we purchased and left 2 full tanks. The cabin access path, including the wooden stairs, became quite slippery after a single snowfall. There was no sand or ice melter available, so watch your step. Be aware that the hot tub is user maintained and requires chemicals for proper water quality. We found the chemicals in the shed by the parking lot. Our group enjoyed our stay and hope to return next year!
This is an amazing place to stay, we skied Whitewater which was just up the road. The place was very clean and well appointed. The hot tub was great being just up behind the cabin. The cabin was a highlight of our trip.
The Chalet was the perfect place to stay to Ski at Whitewater and Ski Back country at Kootenay pass. It was a great fit for myself and four friends. Given the chance I will return there for another trip.
We loved this space for a ski weekend with friends. So close and convenient to Whitewater and beyond! The common spaces were perfect for eating and celebrating. Rooms were cozy and clean. Property manager was immediately helpful for one small cold weather water mishap. We hope to return to this sweet cabin in the woods!!
Such an amazing place for a nice getaway with our closest friends. We all definitely want to come back again to do another! Fire place was great; However could do with more fire starters such as newspaper. The kitchen was very well equipped, and plenty of towels. There was a sewing needle left on the carpet that wasn't a great find in the foot, but otherwise clean. A surface cleaning spray would have been nice to have, to keep things a bit cleaner throughout the stay. Sleeping arrangements were great, a better mattress for the pull out couch would do wonders. A lil body soap would have been nice with the mini shampoo and conditioner. Thank you guys so much for everything including the beers, our friends were happy! We'll be back!
We had a lovely time in this gorgeous cabin. It was secluded and generally pretty quiet. The occassional car drove by but we couldn't see them and it was a lovely escape. The place had lots of seating and all 8 adults were able to comfortably hang out in the living ro and deck areas. The hot tub was a hit and was in a great spot a little away from the cabin so it was nice and quiet if only a couple people wanted to use it. We were there in the shoulder season so it was a touch muddy, but that was well communicated to us and we were absolutely prepared for it and that was so we'll appreciated. Overall we all had a great experience and would suggest this place to anyone.
Stayed here with a couple friends on a ski trip. The chalet is large and comfortable for a large group or family. Beautiful setting, very close to whitewater for skiing and about 10min drive into Nelson. Given the large amount of snow the listing does say an SUV required to access the property and I would agree with that. As a parent of young children who were not on this trip, i would be cautious staying here with mobile toddlers. The staircase would be a concern, and if staying here in the winter you would not be able to safely use the fireplace.
Would definitely recommend to those looking for a quiet chalet in the mountains!
First time to Nelson and we fell in love with this perfect little town!
The cabin is indeed 10 minutes outside of town, but we could easily go to town whenever we wanted, then get away from it all when we wanted. As stated by other reviewers, the temps at the cabin are about 10 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than in town and since we were there the end of July, that provided some relief from the heat, although the cabin got pretty hot during the afternoon and early evening. The hot tub had a leak so we only used it once, and it required filling it up with a hose before use. It was supposedly getting replaced any day. A previous reviewer had mentioned the clear cut hillside adjacent to the cabin, so we were aware of it, but still taken aback by the reality of it. Guessing it is less startling when everything is covered in snow.
This property was a lovely getaway without being too far from things. We stayed there during very hot temperatures and the property was about five degrees Celsius cooler than in Nelson proper.
The home is well equipped and comfortably accommodated our crew of 8. Lots of kitchen equipment (dishes, pots, cleaning products, etc.), and seating for all. The kitchen lighting is a bit dim, but maybe that is due to difficulties in wiring a log home?
There is no A/C but we brought our own fans, which helped (I am not familiar with the average Nelson summer temperatures, as this may have been an unusually hot year).
The location felt very safe. We left our bicycles outside with no issues.
The house is only 10 km from downtown Nelson, with only a few hundred meters on unpaved roads.
We would definitely stay at this home again!
This is a perfect cabin for winter skiing. We stayed there in mid August. It is easy to find, but you have to drive up a gravel forest road for about 500 metres and there are no other cabins to spot.. The cabin is equipped with just about everything you need. We enjoyed our stay, although it felt a bit remote. Having said that, it is only a ten minutes ride to Nelson.
