Such a nice place to spend time in. The place was super clean, and very functional for cooking. Really nice welcoming details like fresh flowers, and spices in the cabinets. Will definitely come back in the future.
We were so fortunate to find this spotlessly clean, comfortable and newly renovated studio to call home on our recent visit to Nelson. Very roomy and so well appointed, thank you Wren we were very happy.
Very nicely renovated home. It was very clean and cozy. Well stocked with kitchen needs and spices. Beds were super comfortable and linens and towels were plenty. Quiet area and easy distance to get to places. Wren was excellent with communications, and on top of things. Thanks for the stay!
I cannot say enough great things about our Xtra stay here ! This place truly was a home away from home ! Very clean, cozy and so functional for relaxing, cooking , sleeping , the bathrooms are amazing. The location was perfect! Such a quiet area with beautiful scenery! We played many games at the kitchen table, cooked lots of meals inside and out and enjoyed the beautiful weather outside on the deck!
I highly recommend this place and truly hope we get the pleasure of staying here again ! Also there were chocolates, beautiful fresh flowers and cold seltzers when we arrived!
quiet area
We were very excited to get to stay in this lovely home for a second time. It is quickly becoming a home away from home while in the area. This was our first summer visit and the kids loved the splash park just down the street and the ceiling fans in the bedrooms went a long way to keeping us cool.
My husband, son and I had a great trip skiing at Whitewater and staying in Nelson. Wren’s place was perfect for us. It was extremely clean and the kitchen was well stocked. We look forward to our next trip.
Stayed here with my wife and two children for a week in September. The house is beautifully renovated and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It's in a quiet part of Nelson and the nearby playground was a hit with our 3 year old. Fairly easy walk to downtown which we did a couple of times and bus stop is also nearby. Would definitely go back next time we're in town.
Wren's house is full of little luxuries that I wouldn't expect from a vacation rental - eg robes, decadent body lotions and soaps, candles, towels galore, fresh flowers, netflix account ready to use.... and many more home comforts.
My two teenage kids and I had a relaxing five days here, great location for exploring Nelson. No sounds from the renters below, very quiet street, and the house is immaculately clean.
Highly recommend.
We all greatly enjoyed our stay. The host was very responsive and the place was so lovely with lots of homie touches. It is located in a quiet neighbourhood which made everyone feel safe and relaxed. The shower and bath tub were a really bonus. We all enjoyed our stay and it quickly became a home away from home.
My husband and our 3 year old stayed at Wren's place over New Years and had a wonderful time.
It's newly and beautifully renovated and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay with our toddler. We all especially enjoyed the deep bath tub after a day of skiing and the huge shower! The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking there but we chose to take the 20 minute walk to Baker Street and lots of delicious restaurants most nights.
Would highly recommend and would love to stay again.
The house is lovely, there are 2 washrooms, excellent laundry and kitchen appliances.
Wren helped with the coffee maker (and coffee!)
Only issue is location - you really need a car to go into the downtown, which we had - and walked uphill once
We named the property "Minty House". Not just because of the color, but it was a refreshing stay for our family. Nelson, in and of itself, was great. We'd come back for sure.
But the city and region side, when I asked my 6 year old son what he liked best about the house he mentioned the time spent playing Settlers of Catan and watching a movie. He also loved the double shower, lol, of all the things. After full days out and about, the home was really comfortable. The ideal size and location for our family of 3.
The renovations are beautiful, the location was quiet but close to all the amenities and restaurants we wanted to visit.
We'd 100% recommend this VRBO for any of our small family friends or couples.
Thank you Wren!
