The property was beautiful. There was a pickle ball court and basketball. The property was perfectly manicured with lots of beautiful vegetation. I'm a walker so walked the hills in the neighborhood daily. Lots of peace and serenity there. I would go back again. Sharon Wold

Great scenery, quiet, well appointed room and amenities. Only problem the air conditioning wasn’t working.The property manager said it was overloaded because of the heat 37 deg.That wasn’t the case. The system was only blowing warm air. No sleep one night borrowed a fan for last 2. It’s half way through summer. The air conditioner didn’t just quit working. Too bad but I wouldn’t stay therein any above or below normal temperatures.

Unfortunately our air conditioning did not cool the room down to our clients desired level. During the same time we got two other reviews from our other two suites; a 9/10 and a 10/10. Kootenay Lake had a heat wave warning during this period. We had Freon added to our air conditioning system and the temperature is currently 70 degrees F in our suites . Unfortunately it took a few days for our air conditioning service to be able to attend to our system.

This large property is located in a residential subdivision about a five minute drive from the Balfour ferry. The owner was very professional and helpful. We had a beautiful and spacious room with high-quality linens, large TV (with satellite) and a comfortable bed. Our room had a fantastic view and the cost was very reasonable. We would certainly stay here again.
