Mountain views Tiny House

We enjoyed our stay in the tiny house on Michelle and John's land. The owners are available for questions and they are very nice. We felt safe and we had everything we needed, booked only one night but we plan on coming back during the summer to hike the trails and go to the lake. The Nakusp hot springs are only 15 minutes away, and we went hiking there and on our way back through Revelstoke. Nice place!

Gorgeous stay, great hosts!

John and Michelle were accommodating and very welcoming. They have a beautiful property and we had the luxury of going on a guided hike with John. Would stay again and recommend to friends!

#7 Shady Rock Campsite

Beautiful place to camp and so, so quiet! I loved going for a walk along the beach - you have to check it out as it's absolutely stunning down there. I will be back. :)

Mountain views Tiny House

We really enjoyed our stay at John and Michelle’s campground. We stayed in the new tiny home. It came with everything we needed for an overnight stay and we enjoyed the beautiful views. Great place to stay!

#6 Shady Rock Campsite

Everything was absolutely amazing! Michelle was so helpful and the best host. The views and beach are spectacular. The kitchen, outhouse and shower house were all very well kept. And the site itself (shady rock) was just wonderful. We loved every minute of our stay and will be making a yearly trip to stay at Kootenay Born. I truly cannot say enough good things about this place.
