About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Luxury & Dog Friendly

2 bedroom, 3/4 bath, WiFi, Roku TV, AC/heat, coffee station / kitchenette area, small half size refrigerator (coffee maker, tea kettle, microwave, toaster and dishes) outside private deck with table seating for 4 and with BBQ grill & side burner. Located on 3 acres and backs to park land. 3 minute walk to the Kootenay arm with long sandy beach.

We are locating in a magical part of the Kootenay's. With easy access to hiking, mountain biking, boating, water sports, hot springs, local bakeries, coffee shops, Sunday market and regional parks.

There is an abundance of wild life. We see whitetail deer daily. There are birds of all kinds; eagles, blue herons, ducks, geese, turkeys and seasonally mountain blue birds. On the surrounding mountains you may be lucky to spot elk or black bear. At night you can occasionally hear coyotes.

The train still pass our place twice a day summer schedule is usually around noon and once in the evening.

Dog friendly to friendly dogs. Pets must be house broke (potty trained) and be socialized to be around people and other dogs.

We suggest you pick up groceries items for your stay prior to coming out. We are 24 KM (15 miles) from Nelson.

Due to the fact that the world has changed since Covid we are trying to book a 24 hours calm time between guests. We are not taking as many bookings as we have in the past.

Home away from home!
Everything was just excellent! This place totally exceeded our expectations. Check in was easy with a host greeting you. Property is huge and has gorgeous views of the mountains and lake scenery. We had two dogs with us and they didn't want to leave and were very sad when we got home. Whatever we needed the property had, just felt like it is your own place and you coming back for vacation all the time. Hosts are super friendly, can answer any questions and provide more information on anything. The property is definitely a "comeback"!

Sweet and simple luxury
Thank you, Polly and Tony, for sharing your piece of heaven. The activity of the birds and deer during early morning coffee on the lawn was so entertaining. The view is spectacular! The stroll to the lake was easy. We found everything we needed in the cabin. The small kitchen was a delight as we gals knew that our stay would give us a week away from involved kitchen work. The beds were so luxurious. Most of all we appreciated your hospitality. Everything was so easy from booking, to check-in, and for contact with you during our stay. We will most definitely be back!

A great family & dog friendly place!
This property was perfect for our family vacation to the area. Polly and Tony were kind, welcoming and helpful. The cabin had everything we needed, and the beds were very comfortable. The deck was a perfect space for us to eat meals and play card games in the evening. The beach was a short, easy walk along a mowed path and was very private - we only encountered other people there one time in four days. The cabin, yard and beach were very dog-friendly and our golden retriever had the time of his life. The Procter Village Cafe, just a short drive away was also a highlight for their cinnamon buns and Friday night pizza! We would absolutely stay at this property again. Thank-you for your hospitality Polly & Tony (and Nia)!

Relaxing stay surrounded by beautiful scenery
We had an awesome time here! The hosts Tony and Polly, were very kind and accommodating for us during our entire stay. Our cabin was cleanly maintained and well stocked. The space is tranquil and the beds are some of the most comfortable that we ever had! Their labrador is a wonderful girl whose company was always welcome. It was a pleasure to watch deer walking through the field. Nelson is a little ways away but well worth the travel (tons of beautiful scenery). We look forward to a return trip!

Amazing Stay
During this time of Covid, we explored our home province and visited the Kootneys, which we have never seen. The house was very clean, and we felt very comfortable there. It was extremely hot during our visit, 37C (99F) and the air conditioning and fans worked wonderfully to keep it cool. The fridge is small, but we made it work and the only thing I missed in the kitchen was a teapot! Polly and Tony were fabulous hosts, as well as their beautiful dog Niya. There was lots to see in the area and we especially enjoyed ziplining at Kokanee Mountain Zipline.

Amazing stay, hospitality & views!
From previsit to check out we had a terrific experience at the Rabbit Hutch and Polly and Tony made our vacation truly memorable. We were blown away by the cottage and all of the space outside. We had gracious hosts and our lab loved Nia, his new girlfriend. Had the time of our life and will be back again for sure!

From weather, to wildlife, to location, to all the little extras - perfect!
Great stay with a well appointed, nicely set up suite and property. Our experience matched the description and all other reviewers. Not only was it as advertised, but the provision of little extras for the people and for the dog were much appreciated. Note: others mentioned the limited kitchen area, which is true, but we had no problem by making use of the barbecue and patio. All good! Great hosts + a beautiful spot made for a terrific week!

Very pleasant stay
Tony and Polly were very pleasant and welcoming hosts wanting to be sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We did enjoy our stay at the Rabbit Hutch very much. We were busy out and about so not able to really take advantage of the beautiful property as we would have liked. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable and the bedding soft and cozy. Thank you Tony and Polly for helping us have a very nice holiday. John and Brenda

great relaxing time in Harrop
Very relaxing time at the property and surrounding area. Our dog enjoyed playing on the beach and trying to catch the deer that would wander on and off property. Great location to base exploring other areas of the Kootenays. Polly and Tony are great hosts and very welcoming. Nya the Lab who calls this property home was a great playmate for our dog as well. We only stayed 4 nights and will in all likelihood stay here again.
