About the host
Hosted by Mark E Whalen
I am a retired mountain guide. After decades taking guests climbing and skiing for work I can now enjoy those things just for fun- as well as cycling and golfing and everything else the sunny Okanagan has to offer. I enjoy meeting people, so hosting is fun!
Why they chose this property
It’s the perfect neighbourhood- quiet, private, beautiful, and walking distance to Skaha Bluffs provincial park, where I climb regularly.
What makes this property unique
Log houses are rare and unique, but even more so in this arid region. Our house is private and secluded on 2 acres with views of both Skaha and Okanagan lakes, with wildlife walking through, or flying over, all the time. It is a perfect house, whether for laughter and joyful gatherings, or peace and serenity…
