Beautiful property!
The property was as beautiful as described. Access and communication with host was excellent. A little difficulty with parking at first because we had 2 pick-ups and the driveway is on a bend in the highway, but we figured it out. Thank you so much for letting us enjoy your beautiful beachside home.

Quiet, the view is amazing and the lake is steps away
Had a great time with the family. Each enjoyed there own rooms and wash facilities. a place for family and friends to enjoy the good times, the dining table large to fit all. Just like home! Everything was clean, except for one room, the sheets smelled sour, indication they were left in the washing machine too long before they hit the drier. Suggest remove from washing machine immediately.

Great spot on a beautiful lake
We were 4 couples staying in Penticton for a mountain bike trip in Oct. There was lots of room for us all. And our bikes were stored safely in the garage. We particularly liked the beach area with firepit in the evenings. It was a fun weekend and the house and property set the tone.

Beautiful spot
Great place for a small family get together (3 couples) and so nice that pets are permitted. The location is convenient and the view and outdoor space are fabulous! Lots of seating in living area which is something we often find lacking in vacation rentals. Can definitely tell it’s been well used and is due for a refresh, but comfortable. One suggestion…Someone might want to take a look at the dishwasher as the pods never fully dissolved and there was always some food bits left, no matter which cycle we tried. Overall a great time and we’ll be watching to see what it looks like when the reno is done! Thanks!
