Cozy and Cute cottage with yard 10 minutes from Nelson

Cozy and welcoming cottage. Think grandma"s house in the country that has been spruced up a bit! Good sized kitchen and dining area is perfect for hanging out and socializing after a day on the slopes. There is a large shaded outside deck with BBQ. The living room has a large couch and 42" TV with Roku streaming service. Two cozy bedrooms, and a full bathroom that has a washer and dryer. Lots of parking available for 4 vehicles. A partially finished basement perfect for storing extra gear or maybe playing a round of air hockey on the full-sized table. We are both kid and pet-friendly. Motorcycles are welcome and we have a covered area to park bikes.

Granddaughter's Wedding
Lovely place. Comfortable, homey and so many extras! We were so busy with all the wedding activity, but we did take a little time for our morning coffee, watching wild turkeys on the lawn. Highly reccommend the Bears Den. Thank you watchingbthe wild turkeys.

Wonderful retreat for family and a dog
We visited Nelson in early July 2024. This cottage is set against a mountain forest with a bear feasting on cherries some nights. It's near the town of Nelson, but the property is more level than much of Nelson, and has plenty of parking space, relative seclusion, and a great place for a dog to roam without being close to a highway. Our hosts, Aric and Meesh, were wonderful and offered us fresh lavender from their garden. There is cut firewood and a fire ring if you like to sit by campfire. The cottage is simple, but clean and has all amenities including full kitchen and bathroom that includes washer and dryer. We enjoyed mornings on the porch drinking coffee and the proximity to everything in town. I highly recommend this retreat for your lodging needs near Nelson.

Fabulous accommodation
This was a great location for our day trips to halcyon and ainsworth Hot springs. Also a nice hike along the Kaslo River and a tour of the Moyie Sternwheeler. The hosts are very accommodating, responsive, and kind. We cooked a lot of meals in the home, and there are lots of pots and pans, cooking and eating utensils, salt and pepper, and food basics like butter, olive oil, condiments. No microwave, so keep that in mind. We would love to come back to the area and stay more nights.

True to its description the Bear Den was cozy and very comfortable. Quiet local with easy access to surroundings and so many thoughtful extras (cream, butter, Easter chocolates) that made the stay easy. Kitchen was stocked with everything needed. Thank you!

Bears Den Gettaway
This place is just as described. A rustic cottage that has been updated and that is clean and comfortable. Many games to play for kids and adults. It’s only a few minutes drive into Nelson. The owners have great and easy going communication. They also supplied the cottage with little amenities to make traveling easy. We would definitely stay here again for a future visit.

A perfect private retreat
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The cottage was a great size and the little nice touches really welcomed us - like a soft light in the bedrooms, the porch lights and fresh grapes! Aric and Michelle were so friendly and welcoming and had great recommendations on where to dine in Nelson. I loved seeing the wild turkeys on the lawn in the morning! You've got a winner of a place!

As it says a cute and cozy cottage. We were visiting our son in Nelson. Arik and Michelle are excellent hosts with great communication pre and while we were there. Very responsive to any questions we had. It was so nice to have some fresh fruit on arrival and some milk in the fridge as well as basic condiments. Nice to sit outside on the porch and just a great relaxing vibe. Well equipped with a bbq and anything you need to cook indoors. Comfortable beds and great to have the washer and dryer! All round an excellent property on the outskirts of town by very easily accessible.
