The log frame structure is on a concrete perimeter foundation. The limited common property is a 70X100 ‘ footprint around the building strata lot (the cabin). This area is controlled by the owner, but with a few common rules to protect your investment. Each owner owns ¼ share of the on-site manager’s home. That leaves approximately four acres of common land for the amenities (trails, day area etc.) and services.

The cabins are approximately 1,940 sq ft including an above ground basement and a loft. Each unit has a detached garage at least 20X20 in size.

Serenity Place is the only recreational development on the East Shore of Kootenay Lake that can offer the peace of mind which goes with a true lock & leave program overseen by an on-site manager to protect your investment to its fullest. This means there is no coming to Serenity Place to mow lawns, clear snow, winterize cabins, rake leaves or anything else except relax and enjoy life. Cabin exteriors are inspected every fourth year, and all necessary work will be done. Pest control is applies twice a year. Common grounds are fully maintained, there is nothing left here to distract you from your serenity.

On the east Shore of Kootenay Lake, just a few minutes from the Kootenay Bay ferry terminal, lies the small community of Crawford Bay and a rare recreational offering.

Approximately 2 km. of creek side and forest trails have been built for hiking, biking, x-country skiing, ATV’ing and snowmobiling.

Down by the creek is the Serenity Falls picnic amenity area where people may have a fire or just lay back and relax. Directly across Crawford Creek from Serenity Place is the Kokanee Springs Golf Resort

Today, you can step back in time when you step into the Gray Creek Store, Kootenay Lake’s largest and oldest general dealer. Started by English pioneers in1913 to trade with passing steam wheelers, the store still displays their wares in the original display cases.
