Meet the Host

A Place Built for Families, By Family

Kootenay on the Lake isn’t just a getaway—it’s a vision brought to life by Les and Marilyn, a husband-and-wife team who dreamed of creating a place where families could gather, reconnect, and relax together. Inspired by the kind of retreat they hoped to have in their senior years, they built and designed this special haven not just for themselves, but for families like yours. Our Kootenay Lake cabin rentals offer the perfect home base for all your family adventures.

Here, you’re invited to experience their dream firsthand: a place where life slows down, laughter drifts across the lake, and the stress of the outside world fades into the background.

A Home Away from Home

Nestled on the shores of a crystal-clear Kootenay Lake, our property is more than just a scenic escape—it’s a feeling. It’s the kind of place where you can breathe deeply, let go of the noise, and simply be present. Our Kootenay Lake cabin rentals offer not just a place to stay, but an invitation to relax, recharge, and make memories with your loved ones.

The beauty here is breathtaking, but never untouchable. It’s not a place that asks you to admire from a distance. It’s a place that invites you in, encourages you to get comfortable, and makes you feel like you belong. Whether you’re taking in the morning mist over the water, gathering around a warm fire with loved ones, or simply soaking in the quiet of a pine tree, the experience is pure serenity.

An Experience Rooted in Connection

When you stay at Kootenay on the Lake, our hope is simple: that you arrive with nothing on your to-do list except to relax. We believe that a true retreat isn’t about extravagance—it’s about finding a space where you feel at peace, taken care of, and valued.

Privacy, affordability, and a genuine sense of home are at the heart of what we offer. Whether you’re here for a wedding, a family reunion, or just a quiet escape, we want you to leave feeling rested, renewed, and more connected to the people who matter most. At Kootenay on the Lake, hospitality isn’t about transactions—it’s about relationships. We care deeply about creating an experience that becomes a cherished family memory, maybe even a tradition.

Weddings at Kootenay on the Lake

Love, like nature, is best when it’s free, raw, and beautifully unfiltered. That’s why this retreat is such a natural fit for weddings. Kootenay on the Lake has been the backdrop to an intimate family wedding, showing the breathtaking surroundings and the way this space brings people together in a private, intimate setting.

Set on 1.5 private acres, Kootenay on the Lake offers a rare combination of seclusion and space. Unlike many wedding venues, this is a venue where your entire family can stay. We have options for cabins, RVs, and tents. It can be more than a one-day celebration. It’s a shared experience, a family reunion wrapped around one of life’s most important moments.
