1 Bedroom Cabin in Central Kootenay, Salmo

YOUR CEDAR SANCTUARY AWAITS
Escape to your own private retreat - a beautifully crafted off-grid tiny house where digital detox meets rustic comfort. Nestled among towering cedars and hemlock, this is where busy minds find peace and adventure-seekers find their basecamp.
THE LAKE EXPERIENCE
Just a peaceful 2.5km walk (or quick drive) to Rosebud Lake - a pristine, spring-fed gem that's refreshingly warm and perfect for swimming. This motor-free lake is home to hundreds of friendly turtles and giant dragonflies that keep the mosquitos at bay. Bring your kayak, canoe, or paddleboard for the ultimate serenity. There is a solitary community boat launch for the lake which naturally is a popular spot. It's understood by the locals to Salmo that this is a shared access point, so a friendly hello will have you through to the excellent swimming in no time.
ADVENTURE CENTRAL
Your tiny house sits at the heart of incredible year-round recreation:
• Summer: Hiking, fishing, canoeing, jet boating on three major rivers (Pend Oreille, Columbia, Kootenay)
• Winter: Backcountry and downhill skiing, snowmobiling
• Always: Peaceful lake moments and forest walks
LOCATION PERKS:
Central to Salmo, Trail, Castlegar, and Nelson, with easy access from Spokane and Creston. The charming Rosebud Mercantile is just a gentle walk away for local eggs, local author books, and simple refreshments.
YOUR COZY RETREAT This new-construction tiny house features:
• Warmth: Classic Dickenson Marine propane heater (perfect for two)
• Comfort: Twin futon plus extra single mattress for larger parties
• Outdoor kitchen: Propane BBQ and two-burner stove
• Privacy: Completely secluded among the trees
• Essentials: Well water provided, traditional outdoor facilities
What to bring: Your own bedding, flashlight, hand towels and towels for swimming, your favourite camp cooking essentials (i.e. some basics are in play) cooler & ice, and a sense of adventure! This is authentic off-grid living with thoughtful comfort touches.
Hot showers available by request ($5 propane, cash) - or take that refreshing lake dip!
BONUS: GAZEBO SITE AVAILABLE For larger groups, check out our gazebo site with perfect sunrise and sunset views. AND COMING SOON: Bicycles!! I just have to fix them up :)

Summary: The property is a work in progress. It's very peaceful, quiet and primitive. Don't expect many amenities and you will have to be in good shape to climb into the sleeping loft. Definitely a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle.
