"Stayed in Nelson to visit the area, including Ainsworth Hotsprings. This Vrbo property was located right in the center of the hustle and bustle of Nelson.

Nelson Lake & Mountain View with Hot Tub

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (82)
"This was probably one of the best places I have stayed at. Amazing location in Nelson, a quick walk to get downtown, the store, and coffee. The view was incredible, and a very cozy place to settle down at the end of the day. The host provides small touches at the house- such as local organic items that made it 10/10 experience. The host was very responsive, and easy to communicate with. Will definitely return! "
