This is a nice older property. The room I had would be great for an extended stay as it had a full kitchen. Not a lot of amenities, but this staff was great and very attentive to details. Would definitely stay here again if the price is right.

I am so glad we chose Kokanee Glacier Resort! The room was perfect and well-stocked with kitchenette supplies. The room also seemed recently updated and very clean. Parking was easy and right next to our room. The restaurant had a great selection of fare and generous servings. The owner and staff all went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. The location is also perfect, surrounded by nature and all the fun outdoor activities available in the area without being in the bustle of town. It was so quiet and restful! This will be our go-to stay when in Nelson!

I had stayed here 12-13 yrs ago so just had to go back…The owner was super nice and couldn’t do enough for us. Room was recently renovated and so was very nice. 15 min from downtown, close to free ferry to Crawford Bay and about 45 minutes to Ainsworth Hot Springs.Would definitely stay again, hopefully soon. Recommend highly if staying in/near Nelson.

Highly Recommend!

We spent our 5 year anniversary trip at Kokanee Creek Resort and it was fantastic! From the service, cleanliness, quality, and food, everything was amazing. Right from the start we were met with friendly service and our room was beautiful and spotless. The restaurant is a hidden gem, beautiful atmosphere with some of the best food either of us have had in some time! Even if you are staying in Nelson, the 10 minute drive is worth it!

Grounds were lovely and great for our dogs. Rooms were new and felt luxurious but bedside table and lamps would have been nice. Hall closet had no shelves and no coat hooks in rooms. Overall very comfortable and nice stay.

This is a very pretty property. With everything modern inside and very clean outside. We found that our extra pullout bed was not particularly comfortable. But otherwise everything was nice.
