We had the most comfortable stay at Diane’s lovely artistic apartment! The space has everything you could need in the kitchen (including multiple ways to make coffee which I greatly appreciated), a super comfortable bed, and feels very spacious for a 1 bedroom. The property is at the end of a cul de sac in the hills of Nelson offering quiet and privacy. Next time we make it up
I’ll be sure to do a pottery class with her. Such a warm inviting soul, don’t hesitate to stay here you will NOT be disappointed!

All the stars for Diane’s amazing place in Nelson. It’s beautifully decorated, warm and cozy, and had everything we needed for a week-long stay. The place is also more spacious than it looks in the photos. Diane went out of her way to make us feel welcome. I’d highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Nelson, though have your snow tires on if you’re visiting in winter—the hill is pretty steep!

This gorgeous suite is styled with comfort, cleanliness and art in mind. Loved the fully stocked kitchen, the comfy armchairs too curl up in, the warmth Diane brings to her guests, and her sweet dog Sappho! The ceramic studio in the back is a hidden gem and the private class we had was a treat to ourselves. We will be BACK!

Staying at Diane Walters’ Gallery Suite was an experience that complemented the transformative journey I embarked on during a recent Pottery Boot Camp. Nestled just steps away from Diane’s renowned pottery studio in beautiful Nelson, BC, this suite offers a unique blend of comfort, elegance, and artistic inspiration.

Every detail, from the carefully chosen furnishings to the thoughtfully arranged artwork, contributes to an inviting and inspiring space.
The suite is a sanctuary of comfort, equipped with everything one could need for a relaxing stay. The cozy yet stylish interior made it a perfect retreat after long days of creative exploration in the pottery studio. Diane’s keen eye for design ensures that the suite is functional and a visual delight, with an ambiance that promotes relaxation and rejuvenation.
One of the highlights of staying in the Gallery Suite is its proximity to Diane’s studio. Being just a few steps away from where I was immersed in the Pottery Boot Camp made the experience exceptionally convenient and enriching. The seamless transition from the studio to the suite allowed me to reflect on my work and find inspiration in the tranquil surroundings.
The suite also showcases a remarkable collection of local art, which added an additional layer of inspiration to my stay. Diane’s commitment to supporting and celebrating local artists is evident in the carefully curated pieces that adorn the space. This infusion of local artistry not only enhances the visual appeal of the suite but also creates a deeper connection to the creative community of Nelson.
In summary, Diane Walters’ Gallery Suite is a testament to her exceptional taste and commitment to creating a memorable experience for her guests. The suite’s elegant decor, combined with its comfort and proximity to her pottery studio, makes it an ideal retreat for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the artistic charm of Nelson. My stay was a perfect complement to the transformative Pottery Boot Camp, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to experience such a thoughtfully designed and inspiring space.
Oh, and her garden. Wow!
