The property is fantastic—centrally located, with charming historical features. The MOD was welcoming and friendly, making my stay enjoyable. However, my departure experience was disappointing. I realized I left my ergonomic pillow behind, which is essential for medical reasons. Unable to retrieve it personally, I asked if it had been found. After a day and follow-ups, they confirmed it and agreed to ship it if I sent a label. A few days later, there was confusion over a delayed charge for my stay, which I mistakenly denied but quickly resolved. In the same email, I sent the shipping label for the pillow. I was told the pillow would be shipped the next day but received no updates. After two days, I followed up, offering to schedule a postal pickup to ease their burden. Despite my efforts, communication stalled. When I reached out to the MOD for an update, I received a scolding email asking me not to contact the MOD again and accusing me of being angry and unsympathetic to the owner's personal hardships—an accusation that felt unwarranted as I remained professional throughout. The situation is frustrating. My medical condition requires proper spinal support, yet the pillow remains packed with no shipment date or pickup address provided. While sympathetic to the owner's circumstances, I hoped for mutual understanding of my needs. Now, I face either buying a replacement pillow I can’t afford or continuing doctor visits indefinitely—all due to poor communication.

The property manager Debbie is excellent in customer care. She sent me a message prior to my arrival informing me of her role. When I contacted her for a kettle during my stay, she responded and took care of my ask in a timely fashion. My experience of staying in this lovely nostalgia house was cosy and comfortable.

Loved the old character of the beautiful charming house. Very walkable to amazing restaurants. The only thing to note, it is not quiet as it’s right next to a highway off ramp/busy road, also can easily hear guests is other rooms and above with the creeky floors but guests did a good job during quiet hours. Host was very helpful with local info and exploring nearby ski areas.

The lights around the patio are nice but also invasive in the bedroom. If u replace the missing blind on the east side of the building so the lights don’t shine in it would be very nice👍

Great location. Close to downtown Nelson just off of Baker Street. Very quiet at night. Close proximity to all services. Owners had stocked my suite with coffee, pasta, sauce. Etc. I would recommend this location to anyone traveling to Nelso. Cheers

Very cute little guest house. Different apartments in an old, historic house. You can't beat the location. You are a block off of the main street of downtown and can walk almost anywhere. Communication with the staff is excellent.
