We don’t know about you, but we’re always on the lookout for incredible getaway options in our own backyard. And, this tiny home Airbnb in the Kootenays caught our eyes in a big way. A little bit of luxury surrounded by nature? And in one of Canada’s most stunning regions? Yeah, that fits the bill.

Located a short drive away from Nelson and Castlegar, the Westwind Retreat is a modern tiny home featuring all the modern amenities you could ask for. Wait up and prepare yourself some breakfast in the kitchen, then relax on the couch before you head out for the day. Once you’re back, enjoy a nice shower before kicking back for the night beside the fireplace. Or, pop into the hot tub to really unwind.

For those who actually need to get some work done on vacation, don’t worry, because there’s also Starlink website available at this spot. Of course, we’re going to be using that Wifi to watch funny videos on YouTube and stream movies, but hey, we recognize that it has some more, uh, professional uses.

Back to the leisure side of this tiny home Airbnb, though. Since it’s so close to Nelson and Castlegar, that means easy access to some incredible outdoor activities, no matter what season you visit. In the summer, enjoy biking and hiking trails galore, or head down to Kootenay Lake for the day. In the winter, well, the criminally underrated Whitewater Ski Resort is just a stone’s throw away, which means glorious powder days await you.

Either way, we definitely think you should keep the Westwind Retreat on your radar the next time you’re planning a little local getaway!
