Breathtaking views await you when you stay in our newly transformed chalet style tiny home. Spend your time enjoying the large cedar deck overlooking Kootenay lake, the beautiful farms of Harrop / Proctor and the majestic mountains beyond.

Relax and unwind in the brand new bathroom with a large rainfall spa shower perfect for after a long hike or day at the beach.

The fully outfitted kitchenette features a full sized retro fridge and microwave, infrared burner, convection oven (It does it all - rotisserie, air fryer, toaster, dehydrator etc.), blender, 2 coffee makers, (french press and drip), kettle and everything else you need for cooking. the cabin features a ductless heat / Ac unit for you to control to your optimal temperature. Stay cool in the summer and toasty in the winter. OUTDOORS The deck is truly magical, once you are on it you'll never want to leave. Watch the eagles sore above relaxing in the zero gravity chairs. Enjoy dinner at the picnic table after a long day of exploring the Kootenays and cook it on your 4 burner Coleman bbq.
LOCATION We are located on a picturesque 20 acres property perched on the side of the mountain overlooking Kootenay lake, Harrop / Proctor and offering spectacular views of the Selkirk mountains. Hiking, mountain biking and various other outdoor activities are just at your door step. Enjoy great snowmobiling in the winter and ziplining in the summer. We are within 10 mins of beautiful beaches for relaxing and swimming. Rent a paddle board or kayak and explore the waters of our beautiful area. we are located approx. NELSON -20-25 MINS - Enjoy the scenic route beside Kootenay lake driving to and from the city center of nelson, where you will find many incredible restaurants, cafes, artisanal stores, live music venues, multiple weekly markets and loads more! happy to offer our recommendations. BALFOUR & KOOTENAY FERRY -5 MINS - Enjoy the spectacular journey across our beautiful lake to Crawford bay. It is the longest free ferry in the world and is definitely worth the trip. AINSWORTH HOT SPRINGS - 15-20 MINS - Head to the hot springs for a little relaxation in their natural mountain water fed cave. Relax and let the hot mineral water melt away your pain after a long day of activities. Don't forgot to enjoy dinner at their restaurant the Ktunaxa grill. The mussels are out of this world served on a sizzling platter with fresh bannock! WHITEWATER SKI RESORT - 45 MINS - World class skiing is not far away. Considered a backcountry ski / snowboarders dream, the powder at White water is epic. Part of the famous powder highway, a trip to Whitewater should not be missed. Boasting over 1200cm (40 ft) of snow a year and a vertical of over 2000ft a full season could be spent there carving up the terrain. KASLO - 30 MINS - Known as little Switzerland, this quaint town hosts one amazing Jazz festival. Check out the paddle wheeler museum, one of the original ferries on Kootenay lake.

We had a lovely week at the Robins Nest Tiny Chalet! Everything was clean and well organized. Beautiful view from the outdoor deck! The hosts were very prompt and helpful with their replies. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to vacation in the Nelson/Balfour area.
This cabin was perfect for us, it’s nestled in the woods in a private spot. The view was lovely from the deck and lots of windows makes it bright inside the cabin. The cabin was made to include everything you may need. Clean and well cared for and really endearing. The host was wonderful, responsive and very informative about local areas to explore. We love this cabin as a jumping off point between adventures. Looking forward to coming back again soon.

Great views, very sucluded and quiet. Exactly what we were looking for. The description and pictures of the place were spot on so no surprises. Communication with the hosts was great and made it very easy to find the place. The only downfall which wasn't the fault of the hosts is the wasps swarming around made it difficult to enjoy the deck. Mentioned it to the hosts and they said they would look into getting some traps. Would definitely stay there again if we are back to that area.
Just loved the location! The deck is the best part. Not ideal beds if 4 adults. Just know the pull out couch is super hard. But location makes up for it. Could use a mattress topper. Very clean! Great service.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. All of our needs were met. Cute, adorable place..loved the views, beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked..love the fridge and microwave. Our suggestions would be to have a nice big sign out at the entrance. We arrived in the dark and the lack of street lights is scary. We felt like we were trespassing. We actually turned in at another spot which our nav showed as our destination. Friendly fellow was in the tiny house there so we knew we were in the wrong spot. I would definitely book here again.

Beautiful view! Cozy house with all the amenities - appreciated the smart TV on a rainy night. The driveway down to the house was a bit rough for a small car, ended up parking at the top after the first night. Inside, everything was very clean and tidy. Good ventilation with the opening windows and air conditioning.

What a serene and quiet spot in the woods. We loved it!
Wish I could give this rental more than 5 stars! Very clean and well-appointed. The view, the location, the cabin itself - just delightful. I can’t wait to come back.
This tiny house had everything we needed for our two night stay. The full sized bathroom and ability to stand in the loft area make you forget you’re in a tiny house! It was great to be surrounded by forest out of every window and truly be immersed in nature. We would definitely stay here again.
We really enjoyed our stay in this unique cozy cabin. It has everything we need and is in a lovely peaceful quiet location. It’s a beautiful view to wake up to and the deck is great for relaxing and star gazing. We especially appreciate the cost being more reasonable than most other short term accommodation. Thank you !
a great place for a retreat deep in the woods but close to the ferry
Not suitable for older adults or those with mobility issues because access is down a steep dirt road, (no pathways, gardens or lawn) I was grateful to be able to unplug the wireless router so i could sleep well and really relax in the peace and quiet with such lovely views down to the lake.
My girlfriend and I had a great week here. The house is very cute and nice to spend lazy time in. The pull-out couch is super nice, though a little finnicky, and the TV setup worked great. The drive to town or to Whitewater every day can take a while, though it is nice to be near Ainsworth Hot Springs. The bed upstairs is cute and it’s nice to wake up to trees outside. We parked the first two nights right by the house and subsequent nights at the top of the driveway because of snow - we didn’t find this too much of a hassle. All in all, great place!

Not for the faint at heart
We went in March with some snow and lots of water/mud. The property was hard to find, directions poor. Pictures were accurate. The property was very remote and not close to any resturants so you need to be able to prepare meals but there was no oven/stove - just a hot plate. Sleeping Arangements were poor - just a couch/trundle downstairs with a bed in the loft with a VERY steep ladder. Not the best arrangement for some.
The water heater must be very small as we ran out halfway thru the first shower. After 1 night of a 3 night stay, we left.
