Kootenay Lake Lodge -Cabin for 2 guests- only two minute walk to the water !
Get away from it all without breaking the bank !! Now back on the market by popular demand from former guests. We are again offering the 340 sft cabin, ideal for a single traveler or for a couple. If guests bring a cot, it might even fit the baby. The cabin is especially popular by guests who tour the Selkirk Loop on their bicycles (www.selkirkloop.org). We are the first campground/cabin rental business on the lake when coming from the south and we are located almost midway. The cabin is equipped with a queen bed, linens and towels, kitchen with mid-size fridge, full size kitchen range, microwave, coffee maker and dishes, pots & pans and kitchen utensils for 2 guests. It also has a bathroom with shower and plenty of hot water. To stay connected, in an area with spotty cell service, we have now equipped the cabin with it's own Wi-Fi (Telus 6 - fast enough to reliably stream videos). Since Summers are getting hotter, we installed a good cooling Window A/C unit that keeps the cabin cool even on a very hot day. It's only a short walk or drive to Mackie Beach Park with it's beautiful pebbly beach and picnic tables, swim platform, firepit, washroom and parking area. Two minute walk down to our beach campground for a quick dip in the lake. For boaters, the public boat ramp is 1 mile away and free to use. Boaters are welcome to park their boats in the designated boat parking area for a fee. Feel free to bring your own foldable camping chairs; table top BBQ and propane fire pit. **Boswell is situated approximately halfway between Creston and the ferry landing in Kootenay Bay. The ferry crosses the lake towards the Nelson side and is free to use. Guests often walk on and enjoy a free round trip free lake cruise with breathtaking views. The Osprey 2000's snack bar sells very delicious hot dogs and bakery items. Kokanee Golf Resort is a short 20 minutes drive away. Bring your canoe or kayak, hundreds of secluded beaches and bays invite you to explore. Guests can leave their canoes and kayaks at our beach area (bring a chain and padlock). We are dog friendly, there is no fee for your puppy but we ask our guests to never leave their dogs unattended. Owner's remark: If guests want more spacious and lakeside, please check out our Waterfront Log Chalet listings. If guests look for the comfort's from home, we recommend to book a stay at our vacation home. This cabin for functional and VERY affordable for the Kootenay Lake vacation area. We listed it again by popular demand from former guests.

We arrived late with a tire problem. The two owners helped resolve that, and gave us a welcome addition to our supper. The owners are very gracious.

A great find
We were very lucky to discover this perfect little cottage. For cyclists, it's ideally suited to make two easy days rides between Creston and Ainsworth. The kitchen was well equipped, and we were able to pick up everything we needed at the grocery store a few on South at Destiny Bay. We hope to come back.
It was very quaint and rustic with all the amenities
A better description that it was across the road from the beach would have been helpful We had a very relaxing 2 days there with no TV or radio We would definitely stay there again

Kootenay Gem
We loved our stay at the Red Cabin. The ambience was full of lake cottage personality and charm. The hosts were friendly, welcoming and were accessible onsite for any needs. The view was AMAZING. The had actual window seats to an unobstructed Kootenay Lake view, just stunning. The property offers private beach access and welcomes our 4 legged friends with open arms. We would jump at the opportunity to return for another visit. Wonderful.

Long weekend getaway
Claudia is responsive and easy to deal with. The cottage is charming and well outfitted for a getaway. Everything you could need for making your own meals and snacks. The view from the bedroom/living area is amazing (beautiful view of Kootenay Lake and mountains). It is a reasonable drive from the artisan shops of Crawford Bay and the ferry across the lake.
For our needs it was perfect! Those looking to be right on the water might be disappointed BUT location is clear in the cottage description.

As Expected from the pictures
Great little cabin for a day or two. Bed was good but it was the only furniture with the exception of the chairs at the very small eating bar. I would suggest that the cabin add a small table with 2 chairs otherwise it was the value I expected for the price. There's no wifi, TV or cell service so a better sitting area would have been appreciated. Claudia was great and let us know what to bring for the stay, what wasn't available in the cabin. A longer stay in the summer would require some form of A/C as the building was quite warm all night. I would stay here again.
