Such peaceful and beautiful place. We enjoyed every minute here 😊 Don and Lyn are very welcoming and made sure, their guest have every thing they need. The suits are comfortable and well appointed and spotlessly clean. Most of all , we enjoyed the very beautiful view from our terrasse. We used the kayaks for a little tour along the shore. They are in a very good condition. Another big bonus is the closeness to Steward’s Floatplanes, where we booked a tour to Hamlet Falls and the Rainbow mountains. An unforgettable adventure!

Unfortunately, nearly all eateries were closed around. (We visited end of September. )Therefore, it was a little tricky to get food, as the kitchenette is not equipped for cooking. Thanks for borrowing us some pans and pots, so we could cook a meal on the BBQ!

This place is a slice of heaven! The hosts are so friendly and helpful, and run the most beautiful accommodation. The rooms were exceptionally comfy and clean, with lots of amenities on offer. The location is right on the lake with a huge garden and lake access, plus free use of kayaks and a boat. A wonderful little area by the lake is great for a sundowner or a self-cooked dinner. There's a store about 4 mins walk away with everything you need. We didn't want to leave.

We had an excellent stay! As we extended our days here, I was given a review for each booking. Therefore just read my review from before and book, if you love a quiet and remote place.

This was one of the most beautiful places we have stayed in and was in one of the most beautiful locations in which we have ever been. Looking for loons? This lake was full of them.

Dinner options were somewhat limited, but there was a small store nearby, and we were able to grill at the Retreat.

This is a beautiful place to stay at least several days.

The only disadvantage about Nimpo lake is lack of places to eat and the fact there are no cooking facilities on the property

Don and Lee were super nice. Very welcoming and had lots of info on what to do around the area. They have a stunning property and direct access to the lake. Beautiful sunsets and scenery. I even went on a little Kayak adventure (Don lent me one for free). It was very peaceful. Love the place.

the rooms we stayed in had a microwave but no cooking facility. It would be good to add a little stove top to the unit. Also, there is only one restaurant in walking distance, that is run by an older, fairly grumpy lady. If you want supper, be there no later than 4pm!
