Dome in Ymir

Private Dome House on River, Minutes from Ski Hill

Beautiful dome house on the Salmo river. These three acres of forested property allow you to enjoy the quiet seclusion of nature, but remain only a thirteen minute drive to Nelson, and eight minutes from the Whitewater turn off (closer than Nelson). Return from a long day of skiing to warm up in the wood fired cast iron tub by the river or enjoy the six person electric hot tub with lounger and watch the Salmo river flow by. Or dry off by the woodstove and watch a movie on the 4K 100” projector

Ainsworth Springs Suites - Kutenai Suite

JunelynRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

this was by far the best place we have ever booked for something peaceful and convinent. we loved waking up to sunrise with a view of the lake and the mountains. my dad caught a fish just off the rocks and so close to kaslo and nelson. plus fletcher falls!. the lake is beautiful there wish I brought my paddleboard as it seemed so flat majority of the time, as it's in somewhat of a bay! the hike down was steep to the beach, but my parents who are 65+ was able to handle it. thank you for such a beautiful stay!

Sunny, Lakefront, Private Guesthouse

CatherineRating, 5 stars11 months ago

The studio is beautiful. It’s lovely and cool on a hot summer day and made me feel very calm. We wanted to relax and cook and enjoy some beach and lake activities and we got just that! The location is ideally situated very close to town but on the ‘quiet’ side of the lake. The hosts were great.

I would be delighted to return as soon as possible. Highly recommended. 👌

Absolutely stunning Airbnb. As reviews said, pictures don’t do it justice. Loved the views, cooking in the kitchen and was astounded how cool the place was in such heat. Hosts are just fabulous. Can’t wait to come back!!
