We are a non-profit housing co-operative, and collectively, the members pay the mortgage of the Co-operative. Phase I is granted funds from the Federal Housing Ministry under the direction of Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). Phase II is granted funds from the Provincial Housing Ministry under the direction of the British Columbia Housing and Management Commission (BCHMC). Therefore we are regulated by these government bodies to some degree.
Overlooking Kootenay Lake, our charming Heritage Building was built in 1926 and has been transformed over the decades into four beautiful, artistically designed, self-contained suites that can accommodate a single person or a large group of up to twelve people.
Fully equipped suites with everything you need for a most enjoyable stay in the magical Kootenay region!
Another option: our Morning Star Cabin, tucked away in the forest on the perimeter of Nelson, for anyone looking for a truly unique and different experience. Our Cabin can accommodate up to four people and is a five minute drive from downtown Nelson!
We stayed at Mistiso's Place for four days over the Thanksgiving long weekend... and it was the perfect spot for this sort of get-away. The suites are clean and well-equipped, and are located just a few short blocks from Baker Street (shops and restaurants). Maria was a wonderful host, and we will definitely be staying there again.Read more
The Co-operative Housing Federation of BC (CHF BC) is a co-operative association made up of member housing co-ops and related organizations in British Columbia. Members send delegates to federation meetings to represent their co-op, elect (or run for) the board of directors at the annual general meeting, and/or to serve on CHF BC committees. This member direction helps CHF BC focus on meeting the needs of housing co-ops.You can represent the interests of your members by adding your co-op's voice to the co-operative housing movement. Working together we have created a strong co-operative federation, and we invite your co-op to join us.
