Beautiful Waterfront Cabin on Kootenay Lake
Funston Cabin — A Waterfront Haven on Kootenay Lake
Discover the magic of Kootenay Lake from the comfort of Funston Cabin, a custom-built, waterfront retreat nestled in the peaceful village of Procter. Ideal for families, couples, or those seeking a serene lakeside escape, this home blends contemporary design with the warmth and spirit of the Kootenays.
Bedrooms & Baths
Master suite: king-size bed with sweeping westward lake and mountain views. The private ensuite features a Japanese-style soaker tub, placed to let you soak while gazing at the glistening water beyond.
Second bedroom: two queen beds—perfect for guests, children, or a second couple.
Two full bathrooms ensure everyone stays comfortable.
Living & Gathering Spaces
The great room is the heart of the home: three sets of French doors open onto a sprawling deck, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living.
From here, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the lake and surrounding peaks.
Dine al fresco on the deck, relax beneath starlit skies, or cozy indoors when the weather cools.
Why Funston Cabin Stands Out
Rare direct waterfront positioning in Procter, offering private water access and unobstructed views.
Thoughtful architectural design ensures privacy, comfort, and connection to the natural surroundings.
Top-tier finishes and design, furnishings, and amenities that match (or surpass) what luxury travelers expect today.
Ideal for escapes that balance tranquility and access to all the region’s outdoor gems.
Explore the Kootenay Lake Region
From your doorstep, immerse yourself in the best of the lake region: scenic drives along the east shore, quiet trails, hidden coves, and charming lakeside communities. Nearby, guests often explore:
The arts and galleries in Nelson
Hot springs, including Ainsworth
Hiking, boating, and forest adventures
Local markets, artisan shops, and farm-to-table dining
Whether you’re staying a few days or a full week, Funston Cabin offers the kind of lakeside living people dream about. Let it be your base for unforgettable memories in the Kootenays.
In July and August we generally look for a minimum 7 night stay, and our preferred check-in and check-out date is Friday, but we are willing to be flexible to suit your needs.

The view is amazing!There is a need to get the spiders under control. At one time there were seven on the bedroom ceiling Fan grease tray on top of the stove hasn’t been wiped out for some time.
Our second time staying here…..it’s home away from home, and truly one of our most favourite places to be!Always clean and comfortable, and a short drive to any needed amenities……..but once there, who wants to leave?!
This vacation home offers a serene escape on a private beach. Providing access to crystal-clear waters, it is ideal for paddle boarding and waterfront relaxation. Secluded and serene, it’s the perfect retreat for those seeking peace and natural beauty.
Great location near Balfour and Nelson. Usage of the dock was key for our boat. The property was very comfortable and well appointed. Parking was a little tight, but manageable. Thanks, we loved the location and views on Kootenay Lake.
Fell in love right from the moment we walked in. House was very cozy and welcoming. The view is incredible and having the dock there is a huge bonus. We can’t wait to book our next stay there!
A nice house with great beach access. One level living convenient and easy. Great deck with a gate to keep pets safe while your in the water.

Beautiful home on Kootenay Lake
We had a bit of a snafu with our reservation but once we were able to connect with the owner everything worked out and we were able to have a great stay. Ted is a gracious and wonderful host. His family home is beautifully designed and comfortable. The views are gorgeous and they truly have a piece of paradise there in Procter, BC. We look forward to coming back in the warmer months to enjoy the lake. I highly recommend this place for a family or friend’s vacation.
Amazing Upscale Cabin Right on the Beach! Best VRBO!
Awesome stay from checkin to checkout. Perhaps the best VRBO we have stayed in. Very clean, upscale with lots of great art and quality comfortable furniture. The living room, kitchen and master bedroom are surrounded by windows and french doors with incredible views of the lake. The huge wrap around deck has the same. Very private and quiet with your own dock to relax on or park the boat. Cant say enough about this fantastic retreat and the host Ted always available and helpful. I give Teds place my highest recommendation to anyone I know and we will certainly be back!
Absolutely stunning view. The ferry staff were exceptionally friendly & helpful. And our hosts were quick to respond to inquiries and ensured an easy check in process with helpful instructions on house amenities. We had to go buy our own can opener and there was issue with stink bugs around the house & in our beds. So we had to re wash bedding but other than
We really loved this spot on Kootenay lake! It was quiet, private and perfect for our annual family vacation. Awesome private beach for the kids with a great dock for jumping off. The ferry does go by every 30-40 mins but it’s quiet and becomes part of the scenery. The cabin was bright, clean and spacious. We so appreciate pet friendly homes and we were able to bring our dog who enjoyed endless days of swimming.
Ted was a fantastic host - very communicative and quick with responses. We really enjoyed our time at Kootenay lake this summer! Highly recommend!
We had a great time with our young family at this cabin on Kootenay Lake! The interior is bigger than it looks in the pictures and provided lots of space for the 6 of us to sleep and spread out. The deck is massive providing tons of outdoor living space and a great view of the regularly passing ferries (not at all disruptive), and the mostly rock beach had just enough sand for hours of entertainment throwing rocks and building sandcastles. Don't forget to check out the cinnamon buns at the bakery in Proctor. Looking forward to returning to Kootenay lake in future summers!
We had a great weekend at Ted and Heather's beautiful lake side retreat.
The photos don't do this home justice, it is even better in person. Cozy and spacious living room with a fabulous wood burning fireplace that kept us toasty all weekend, heated floors, so many option for sitting and dining, big deck with the best views and the icing on the cake was the most amazing soaker bathtub ever that every member of our family tried! We are big into baths and that was a really special bonus that I didn't even note when booking the home. The set up of primary on the main floor with a perfect sized two queen upstairs room was so ideal for our teenaged kids. We love visiting Kootenay Lake and this will be one to come back to for sure. Thanks for the wonderful stay!
We loved our stay at this location, despite a very rainy weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed just sitting on the patio looking over the water, and watching the ferry go by. There is a large Japanese soaking tub that fills shockingly quickly, and water that stays warm while filling the large tub. A beautiful view, and we managed to squeeze in a campfire and some swimming on the last day.Important notes: there is a train that goes by the property everyday twice a day, that has to honk at the intersection. Can be quite scary at first, but you get used to it.Upon our arrival there were a lot of spiders within the property, which can’t really be avoided with a more remote location, but one of us has arachnophobia, and struggled a bit to get comfortable. The property is shared, with two vacation rentals on the same lot. We didn’t have anyone else on the property during our weekend, but may be important for other renters to know during busier weekends Overall though, we really loved our time and are already thinking of when we would like to return!
The cabin is beautiful and decently equipped. The shared dock and waterfront was really the standout feature of the property. The pictures don’t do the interior of the home justice. It was a relaxing, easy stay.
This is an incredibly well-appointed home right on Kooteney Lake, and it was the perfect place for our peaceful getaway with our dog. The kitchen amenities are amazing and some serious cooking gets done there! This has been one of our best VRBO finds ever. Ted and Heather were easy to deal with for the booking and check in process, and I highly recommend their property for a stay in the Kooteneys!
Great location, friendly hosts, and loads of character in this amazing cabin. It was the perfect winter getaway with easy access to Nelson and area activities. We will surely be back!
