Welcome to Browns Whispering Pines

Relax. Unwind. Enjoy Kootenay Time.

Tucked among the pines on the shores of beautiful Kootenay Lake, Browns Whispering Pines is a place to slow down, breathe a little deeper and settle into Kootenay Time.

Wake to mountain views, wander down to our private beach, spend the day on the water and end it beneath the stars. Choose the cozy Whispering Pines Cabin or make it an adults-only getaway at RV There Yet.

The Story.

A Little Piece of the Kootenays

Browns Whispering Pines began with a simple love for this little piece of Kootenay Lake — the towering pines, mountains across the water, quiet mornings and sunsets that somehow never seem to look the same twice.

Set across 11 private acres stretching from the shores of Kootenay Lake into the mountainside, it's a place where life naturally slows down. Wander to the beach with your morning tea, spend an afternoon swimming or paddling on the lake, play a few games, curl up somewhere quiet with a good book, settle in beside the fire, or simply sit back and take in the view. When evening comes, pull up a stool at the beach bar and watch the last light disappear behind the mountains. If you're feeling adventurous, enjoy a late night swim under the stars.

Browns Whispering Pines isn't a resort, and we don't want it to feel like one. It's personal, peaceful and a little off the beaten path. It's our home, our own little piece of the Kootenays, and a place we genuinely love sharing with others.

We're always dreaming up new ways to make it a little more special — adding thoughtful touches, creating new spaces and watching this place continue to grow with us.

Relax. Unwind. Enjoy Kootenay Time.

Welcome to the Koots

This is Kootenay Time.

Kootenay Lake is more than the view outside your door. It’s quiet beaches and mountain roads, hidden coves and little communities, days spent on the water and sunsets worth stopping for and unfiltered stars to gaze at come nightfall.

Explore the lake, discover the surrounding communities, or stay close to home and wander down to our own private little beach. However you spend your day, there’s something about life here that makes slowing down come naturally.

Stay Your Way

Two unique stays. Two different experiences.

Your Time. Your Way. Your Memories.

Choose the cozy comforts of the modern Whispering Pines Log Cabin or the laid-back simplicity of RV There Yet, our adults-only camping retreat tucked among the trees. Whichever feels more like you, settle in, slow things down and experience Browns Whispering Pines at your own pace.

Whispering Pines Cabin — Guest Book

★★★★★

I honestly don't even know where to start because our stay was absolutely AMAZING! From the moment we booked, Jamie was so friendly, personable and welcoming that it genuinely felt less like we were renting a cabin and more like we were going to stay at a friend's place in the Kootenays.

When we arrived, she had left us the sweetest welcome basket with wine from a local winery, snacks for us AND treats for our dogs — such a thoughtful little touch that immediately made us feel at home. ♥️ You can tell Jamie truly cares about the people (and pups!) who stay at her cabin and wants them to have the best experience possible.

The cabin itself was everything we hoped for and more. It was the perfect place to get away, relax and enjoy the beauty of the Kootenays. There's something so special about staying somewhere that feels comfortable and welcoming rather than just feeling like another rental, and Jamie absolutely nailed that.

What really made the experience stand out, though, was Jamie herself. She was incredibly kind, easy to communicate with and just so genuine. Having a host who makes you feel completely comfortable and welcome makes such a difference, and she went above and beyond.

We were honestly sad to leave and have already booked for our birthdays next summer! 😂♥️ This is one of those places you find and immediately know you'll want to come back to. We made some amazing memories here, our dogs loved it just as much as we did, and we couldn't have asked for a better getaway.

Thank you SO much for sharing your beautiful cabin with us and for making our stay feel so special. We would come back in a heartbeat and recommend this place a thousand times over. If you're considering booking it — DO IT. You will not be disappointed!

Thank you again from myself,just and the puppers Chikko and moncler! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This place truly feels magical. From the moment we arrived, we felt peaceful and at home. The lake, the mountains, the quiet atmosphere, and the beautiful surroundings made this one of the most memorable trips we've ever had.

The cabin was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed. Every little detail showed how much care and thought the hosts put into making guests feel welcome.

Our family made so many wonderful memories here, and we already miss waking up to the breathtaking views. Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality. We are incredibly grateful for our stay and sincerely hope to come back again one day.

If you're looking for a place to relax, reconnect with nature, and truly recharge, this is it. We couldn't recommend it more highly.

26 years visiting the Kootenay's and this visit was by far our favourite. Beautiful log cabin, nicely updated and suited our family with young teens well. The location was perfect, with the most amazing views and fun activities. Private beach with the new beach hut made it easy to pick up where we left off from the day before. Jaime was an excellent host and very responsive. Honestly, rare that you find a rental that has it all! Can't wait to return next year.

We had a truly unforgettable stay celebrating our 16th anniversary here was so special. The cabin was spotless, smelled amazing, and was incredibly cozy and comfortable. It had everything we needed, from a fully equipped kitchen to fresh towels and outdoor BBQ/firepit setup. The area was so peaceful we didn't even feel like leaving to explore elsewhere ,we just wanted to stay and soak it all in. The host was beyond thoughtful, even surprising us with wine, snacks, and an anniversary card. It felt like staying with a caring friend. One of our best Airbnb experiences ever!

We had an incredible stay while exploring the Kootenays! The cabin was the perfect mix of rustic charm and thoughtful renovations — cozy, clean and full of character. The view was stunning and having access to the private beach made it extra special. Jamie was the perfect host and made sure we had everything we wanted to make it a great stay. It's tucked away in a peaceful spot but still super close to the ferry and Crawford Bay, making it so easy to explore this amazing area. Quiet, beautiful and just right for our family vacation — we'd absolutely come back!

I can't say enough great things about this spot! The view is stunning both from the rv and down at the beach. Jaime-Lynn is the most communicative host I've ever had. She was ready with answers if I had any questions and is super quick to respond! I didn't have many questions, though, because she answered them all up front before I could ask! Even though there isn't ac, opening up the kitchen windows and turning on the fan created a lovely cross breeze that kept it cool at night. 11/10 would recommend!

RV There Yet was beyond our expectations. Quiet and serene, this rental was excellent. The RV is very comfortable and has everything you need. From our morning coffee to the afternoon sunsets over looking the lake, we couldn't have asked for anything more. The property has a private beach with a small cove that is perfect for swimming, and the beach bar was an added bonus! Definitely our favourite spot.

Thank you Jaime and Ryan for trusting your space to us. We hope to come back again!
