Welcome to The Forest Nook in stunning Queens Bay! Nestled along the picturesque Kootenay Lake, our 2-tiny homed property is perfect for groups or solo guests seeking a wilderness escape. Enjoy the serene outdoor space overlooking the lake, where birds serenade you, a creek murmurs nearby, and waves gently kiss the cliff’s base—all while perched 300 feet above! Feel free to head to the various nearby beaches and soak up the fresh mountain air. Inside, each tiny home features a large fridge and freezer. Whether you’re whipping up a feast or just need a spot to store your favourite brews, we’ve got you covered. Need to cook or heat up that chicken pot pie? Eagle Cabin has a large convection toaster oven, while Osprey has a standard-size toaster oven. Just a hop, skip, and a jump (or a 1-minute drive) gets you to the beautiful main lake access. But before you race to the lake, a word of caution: our tiny home stairs are steep and deep and might give your knees a workout! If you’ve got creaky joints, take it slow and enjoy the view—think of it as nature's stairmaster. Each tiny home has its own flair: Osprey Cabin, lovingly adorned with trinkets and treasures from Sara's globetrotting escapades, and Eagle Cabin, where accessibility meets modern charm. Whether you’re cuddled up with your better half or flying solo, your stay promises to be memorable. Come experience Forest Nook—where tiny living meets big memories. *Please know that the location of the property may be prone to spring and summer windstorms, which may cause the occasional power outage. Rest assured that the outages rarely last long, and it's a great time to get even cozier amongst the incredible moss and wilderness.

We are happy to host you in our custom-built home/s. As nature lovers, we welcome you to our special property and hope you feel as much at home here as we do. We live on the property and can assist you with anything you may need when exploring the surrounding area. The Kootenays are a beautiful region with lots to do!
