About the host
Hosted by Jake Phelan
As your hosts we will give you as much space as possible but if there is an issue we live less than 5 minutes away. Please feel free to reach out if there are any concerns or questions you have.
Why they chose this property
The half mile lake house is situated in a perfect little Kootenay community. Located within 30 mins of WH20, fresh tracks are waiting for you. Ski season starts Dec 1st, and ends first weekend of April.
Located right on the property, our super private beach is usable all year round. It is common to see kayaks gliding by on the glassy morning lake all year round. You are welcome to use ours and see for yourself.
We particularly love having a winters eve fire on the beach or just gazing at the lake and the mountains from the hot tub. It gets dark early in Nelson in the winter (4:30pm) which makes for unbelievable star gazing.
You will not want to leave.

What makes this property unique
Please note that we do not recommend this property for anyone with mobility issues. There are a few different sets of stairs to enter the home, and stairs down to beach.
While you are staying at Hidden Half Mile, you will have exclusive access to the property (that is - there are no other occupied dwellings onsite). The property is quite large and the beach is super private and sandy (although water levels are high in the spring everywhere on west kootenay lake). The beach has a fantastic beach shelter that is ideal for beach dinners. The beach has a fire pit. The main house has a large deck which also has an outdoor dining table, umbrella, barbecue etc.
The lockable spacious shed has been cleared out for guests to store their sporting gear.
The main house has an upstairs and walkout basement with a mudroom fully equipped to dry your ski boots or beach gear (to to make a mad dash to the year round hot tub).
