Stayed at the Kokanee Glacier Resort for a month and was immediately impressed with Laurie; friendly, helpful, sincere and effervescent. She was an indication of what to expect: a wonderful jewel of a motel in a great location that delivers full value. I recommend it most highly. Should another adventure take me to Nelson and environs in the future, I... More

Kokanee Glacier Resort has a nice space that overlooks the "6 mile" section of the West arm of Kootenay Lake. My family and I have been here a couple of times and the rooms are clean and the location is really nice (we have family just east and the town is a short drive west). The owners and workers are...

We were 4 adults and two kids who stumbled upon this wonderful hidden gem in the Nelson area. The rooms are comfortable with essential items provided. The manager was very helpful and friendly which made the trip very pleasant. The rustic setting with huge play area was perfect for the adults and the kids. The view from the hotel balcony... More

Had several areas to lounge outside comforatbly, including a gazebo (litup), a large raised deck, witha barbeque, and a childrens play area (toddler sized) with swings. The resort had its own private beach area just across... More

We had a great couple of nights here on our way across the country. It’s a lovely place with large, clean, well-appointed rooms. The owner/manager is very sweet and accommodating. Even though she does occasionally sound like Sarah Palin over the phone (You betcha!), ... it’s not her ... .

Clean, comfortable rooms. The property is not brand new, but well kept up. Lori, the manager, was very helpful and knowledgeable answering our questions about the area. We travel with 2 dachshunds and appreciated that this resort is dog friendly. We did very little cooking, but I believe the kitchen was a bit understocked if you were to cook for... More

We were just passing through and only stayed one night, but would have loved to stay longer if we could. Very nice hosts, wonderful breakfast and excellent value. Beautiful scenery and a nice suite-not luxurious but really comfortable and homey. If we're that way again, we will stay there.

This hotel was certainly a pleasant place to stay. It has a marvelous view of Kootenay Lake and the town of Nelson.
