Well-Maintained Motel with Separate Residence

Proudly owned and operated since 2016, the current owners of this charming property have consistently maintained and improved it over the years, ensuring everything is in excellent condition. Their dedication is evident throughout—from the motel’s tidy, welcoming appearance to the thoughtful upgrades that enhance both function and comfort.

The Motel offers exceptional street appeal and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Guests appreciate the ample parking, including spots for larger units and convenient front-of-unit spaces. A standout feature is the spacious green area—perfect for vacationers, family reunions, or anyone who enjoys relaxing outdoors, socializing, or firing up the barbeque.
There are 11 units total, 3 Kitchenettes and 2 Full Kitchen units.

What truly sets this property apart is the separate residence—a rare find in motel ownership. Situated on its own land title, the home includes large, bright rooms, a full basement, and an oversized three-car garage. Whether you’re looking for a comfortable personal retreat or a home that truly complements your business, this residence delivers.

Located in the heart of Salmo, a picturesque community along Highway 3, the property is just 30 minutes from Nelson, Castlegar, and Trail, and sits at the base of the Salmo-Creston Pass (Kootenay Pass), a popular route through the mountains.

If you’ve been searching for a smaller motel operation with the rare bonus of a standalone residence, private yard, and lifestyle flexibility, the Sal Crest is must-see.
