The Landing Meet Eat Sleep Is now open
Enjoy the ever-changing scenery—morning mist, golden sunsets, and starry reflections. A true West Kootenay experience with all the comforts of home.
Discover the Heart and Soul of Revival Resort began as a vision to transform a rundown lakefront property into something special. As neighbors to this beautiful spot, we saw the potential to create more than just another rental property – we wanted to build a sanctuary where people could truly escape the bustle of city life.
What makes us unique is our position as the only full-property rental directly on Tillicum Beach. Our thoughtfully renovated space offers complete privacy and direct lake access, something unmatched in our area. Whether you’re sipping morning coffee on the spacious deck or watching the sunset over calm waters, every moment here is designed for tranquility.
Our core values center around:
Derek and Heather Diener have called Balfour home since 2006, and they couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. They love the people, the lake, the mountains and the lifestyle that makes this community so special.
Derek has been serving the region as an independent Mortgage Broker for more than 15 years and is also recognized for his past careers in hockey and golf. Heather has managed two dental offices in Nelson over the past 15 years and is known for her warm, bubbly personality and the way she makes people feel welcome.
At The Landing, Heather will be the friendly face guests see every day, leading the restaurant and lodging operations full time. Derek will take on a part-time role as General Manager while continuing to run his mortgage business.
Together, they are passionate about creating a vibrant, positive, and welcoming atmosphere at The Landing—sharing their love for Balfour with both locals and visitors.
The spacious suite is perfect for making memories, whether you’re a family, a group of friends, or a couple looking for a lakefront retreat on Kootenay Lake.
Stay in a stunning timber-frame home set right on the shores of Kootenay Lake, surrounded by natural beauty.
Conveniently located beside the Balfour Ferry Landing and above The Landing restaurant, you’re close to everything.
Bright, welcoming, and fully equipped, this one-bedroom suite offers everything you need for a restful stay.
