I have never reviewed any place before and I’m almost reluctant to bring attention to this resort, almost, but this is just too good not to share. From the moment we arrived, we knew this was going to be special. The drive up to the resort was a gentle reminder that this location remains one of the few, most ideal, untouched locations left in the interior of BC and the Kootenays. Debra and Kevin gave us such a warm welcome with all the care and consideration we could want. We could just hang out all day on our deck with the most spectacular views of the lake and mountain valley or take a walk along our beach, or just cozy up to a fire back in our cottage. The beds are the most comfortable I’ve ever experienced, I was also impressed with the pillows, so expertly selected for us. The best sleep ever to wake up with the sun peeking over the mountains in the valley, it was truly magical. Talk about magic, I have been all over the national parks and I have never seen more diverse wildlife as I have here; eagles flying over, wild turkeys strolling about, a late fall baby fawn with mama deer, and then the next day a sweet bear sighting from just across the orchard. Amazing! We almost hated to leave to explore the town of Kaslo and hot springs in case we missed anything. Kaslo is a cute friendly town with some great food, unique art and great gift finds. I recommend you check out the brunch and breakfast as there are a few places, the Blue Bell cafe and The Treehouse all offer great options. At dinner we found a few places with great food and even live music at Buddies Pizza or The Angry Hen Brewery. It was just a short drive to the Ainsworth hot springs and the caves were super cool, or rather hot as it were. You just have to be sure you make a reservation to visit. Debra was sure to set us up with all the info so we didn’t miss out. If you want a crazy awesome adventure, check out the mountain zipline at Balfour. It was thrilling to be jetting across the valley and I even tried it upside down. In Kaslo, you have to take the Kaslo River Walk and visit the Koots, the locals know what I mean ;) You’ll be rewarded with incredible views along the river with quaint burgundy covered bridges to cross over. I just saw this walk featured on a national talk show, and it was perfect for an afternoon to explore, so I guess I’m not the one who has found the magic here. Back at the resort I was also able to receive the most relaxing massage at the Falling Water Spa, again magical, with the sound of Wing Creek babbling right under the window. Oh ya, even with all the natural beauty, we were shocked to find high speed wifi in our cottage and on the property as well, a complete rarity anywhere around these parts. I hear that the salmon is spawning up at Meadow Creek now and we really wanted to check that out too. We were sad to pack up at the end of our stay but so full of gratitude to have found new friends, peace, serenity, fun adventure and joy in one plac
