Tranquility by the Kootenay Lake

About Us

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 : Our Story and Values

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:

  • Creating peaceful, stress-free environments
  • Fostering family connections
  • Encouraging natural wellness
  • Supporting meaningful experiences
  • Maintaining environmental respect
