I had a great stay. The building has a lot of history and the grounds are amazing. There is a swimming pool which is large enough to do laps. The staff are friendly and my room was exceptionally clean.

It has one of the most beautiful gardens I've ever seen. Designed over years. There are hidden treasures all through it. The Mansion itself is exactly what you would expect from an ultra Rich family from 100 plus years ago.
I definitely will be staying again

Absolutely loved it. We explored the Gardens and enjoyed the pathways around the maze of beautiful plants and water features. We spent time swimming in the huge outdoor pool and playing games and billiards in the basement. The room was very clean and quiet and the owners and staff are welcoming. Highly recommend.

The rooms was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The grounds surrounding the Mansion were absolutely amazing. The history of the place alone was worth the booking. Had a nice swim in the pool as well. One of the coolest places i have ever stayed at.

The setting and furnishings were appealing and morning coffee was refreshing. The bed was very comfortable. The Presidential Suite is large but the TV and ceiling fan did not work. Could get only cold water in the shower stall. Hot water was available in the tub shower. The pool was empty and needing work. There was no room service. Pricey for the obvious issues and lack of service.

Romantic getaway
We had a great time on our stay here. The hosts are wonderful and make an amazing breakfast. Would highly recommend staying here. It was such a treat to stay in an 85 year old mansion and to hear the history behind it and the walk up to the garden is beautiful and so peaceful!

We had a lovely view of Kootenay Lake from our window. The grounds and garden around the mansion are amazing to stroll through. The history of the mansion is very interesting as you'll see by the pictures and articles displayed inside. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming as well. We would definitely stay there again.

Staff went out of the way to help, when I mistakenly thought I had lost some earrings after leaving the hotel. The actual hotel is full of interesting history of the area.
I will definitely be back

The property was unique and quite beautiful. If you're a fan of Downton Abbey this would be a great example of the homes of that era. A bit less fussy in decor than Downton, but a very unique experience for sure
Our hosts were very friendly, the grounds were excellent to explore if you are a plant enthusiast, plenty of quiet activities to keep you entertained, and the room was perfect with comfy beds, modern bathroom, a fan to keep the room cool, and a lake front view!

This has been the most unique stay I have ever booked. This whole trip was like a fairytale and this mansion was honestly one of the highlights, I will most definitely be returning in the future. The staff were so welcoming and helpful the whole time. It was such a beautiful property, both outside and in, and felt so magical. It has great amenities (pool, billiard room, sun room, garden, etc.) and my only regret is not staying for an extra night! This place feels like home when you're staying there. Huge thank you again to the staff that own this place, I would highly recommend this place to anyone travelling out to this area!! :)

My husband and I stayed just one night. The property obviously has so much history and character. The grounds are so beautiful. I can see it being an incredible place for weddings. The property is very clean and we had everything we needed. We slept very well.
Unfortunately we couldn’t use the pool and tennis court like we wanted. September weather can be tricky for the pool with the leaves falling all the time.
The owners are very friendly and accommodating. Thank you very much.

It is a great experience. The rooms and bathrooms are smaller than normal hotels. There is no air conditioning but there is a ceiling fan. On the other hand, you don't spend too much time in your room. There are wonderful shared spaces. The pool is gorgeous. The private garden is spectacular. The staff are friendly. The morning breakfast ( added cost) was delicious. Short, easy drive to Nelson for restaurants. There are only 7/8 rooms so it is a very, private quiet relaxing experience.
