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. The cabin is especially popular by bicycle riders since it is located approximately midway between Creston and the ferry landing at Kootenay Bay. The cabin is equipped with a queen size bed, bedding, 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 next to no cell service, we have now equipped the cabin with it's own Wi-Fi (Copper Telus 6 - fast enough for streaming videos- set your phone to wifi calling ). Since Summers seem to be getting hotter every year, we now 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 pebble beach, picnic tables, swim platform, firepit, washroom and shaded parking area. The cabin is located just above the beach campground area and a short 2 min walk away from a long swim or from a quick refreshing dip in the lake. For boaters, the public boat ramp is 1 mile south and free to use ( please consider a donation - a donation box is installed next to the ramp - please bring cash). Boaters are welcome to park their boats in our designated boat parking area for a $10/ night fee. The boat fee must be paid to the host directly. Useful items to bring are: foldable camping chairs; table top or portable BBQ and propane, an approved propane fire pit during fire ban times, swim shoes, matches, fire starters, a flash light, paddle boards or kayaks/canoe. The resort is on a boil water advisory, please bring bottled water or bring the tap water to a 3 minute rolling boil.
**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 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 25 min. drive by car. Hundreds of secluded beaches and bays to explore by boat! Guests may leave their canoes and kayaks at our beach area (bring a chain and padlock). We allow dogs but no other kind of pets. We absolutely do NO allow cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, reptiles etc ). Our nightly dog fee/PER DOG is $10 Chihuahua/Yorkie size, $15 up to 25 kg ( 50 pounds) and $ 25 for very large or very hairy breeds. The dog fee covers additional cleaning and must be paid to the host directly. Dogs must be kept on a leash. To guests who would rather want to stay at an accommodation that is more spacious and right by the water, we recommend a stay at one of our Waterfront Log Chalets. Guests with mobility issues or families with smaller children usually prefer a stay at our 1500 sft vacation home. * This cabin is clean, functional and affordable but more like a tiny home.
