On the slopes in no time
Our stay was everything we expected. The house was clean. There were puzzles to do, games to play and cards to have a battle with. The location was perfect - you can walk to downtown. Sunpeaks was about a 45 minute drive.The kitchen was well stocked., with everything you can think of and more. The coffee pods and tea bags were a bonus. I would highly recommend this property and hopefully rebook next year. My husband liked it so much he wanted to buy the house.

Spring break
The home is in a great location especially if you have dogs traveling with you. Quiet streets to walk along. Neighbourhoods were very clean & not much traffic. The house was well stocked with supplies. Well laid out for 5-6 people.

Great Location
This house is centrally located to lots of things in Kamloops. Most things are a short drive. The TV & entertainment activities are in the finished basement. The upstairs is bright & open feeling. The stairs to the basement are a little steep & there's no windows. We preferred to be upstairs.

Great stay in Kamloops
This was a great find in Kamloops - the house was very clean and well stocked with supplies, check in and check out process were seamless and communication with Vanessa was always quick and helpful. The downstairs space gives extra room for kids or another family. The neighbourhood was quiet with lots of parking and a short driving distance from all the necessities.

Property location is convenient, 10-20mins drive to the view points and grocery stores. Pretty decors, luckily already have Christmas decorations during Nov! Love it. The hosts are so reliable, well prepared and quick reply, grateful for that.

Kamloops Gem
We enjoyed a week long stay at Vanessa’s downtown home. The home is ideally located close to downtown, with convenient access to the highway for travelling around the city. Magnificent beds were a treat to sleep on, a fantastic, mature garden for the dog to safely explore (note there are a few fruit trees to be aware of), a well stocked kitchen, a fantastic walk-in shower with separate spaces for TV viewing downstairs, and social dining and visiting on the main floor. We really enjoyed our stay, the location and the neighborhood. Would definitely stay again!

Such a happy experience
This was one of our best vacation home experiences to date. The home is comfortable, well furnished and stocked. Having a bedroom, bathroom and living space on a lower level meant that our young kids had a quiet space and the adults could still visit. The hosts also included nice kid touches like plastic dishes, unique child books and some simple toys. I personally really appreciated the simple check-out list. My 5 year old also gives it a 5 star review. She told me, “Mom, you can go home but I’m staying in Kamloops.”

Kamloops Cozy AND Cool!
I rented this property for a one month stay in Kamloops to teach an international summer school course at Thompson Rivers University. This rental was everything I could have hoped for. An excellently reno-ed character home with a lovely modern basement, air-conditioning, great washer dryer and basement bathroom. This property served me well as a home base for the month, within walking distance of downtown and Riverside park, my month was spent walking to the beach, watching the free musical entertainment in Riverside park, and then returning home each night to sleep on super comfortable beds, and enjoy the views from the all windowed breakfast nook and entry way. the lights of Kamloops in the evenings, and gorgeous views of the hills in the day. The property owner was prompt on any inquiries I had, and the home is generously appointed with all the amenities one might need for a stay of a weekend, week, month or even longer! I highly recommend this property, and I would look to rebook instantly if I had this kind of opportunity in Kamloops again!

About the host

Hosted by Vanessa

Host profile image
Hi,
My name is Vanessa and I'm an entrepreneur/ outdoor educator who loves meeting new people, traveling, character homes, home styling and photography.
I'm an avid home cook and love to challenge myself to master new recipes and techniques. When I travel I like to stay at airbnb's for a more local experience and I love exploring new food scenes and cuisines.
As a host I enjoy offering a cozy home away from home to guests. A relaxing place for the family to gather after a great day skiing or exploring all the valley has to offer.
We travel to Kamloops often for work and (as a family of 5) we like our home there to feel like a home. We like to make meals and play boardgames and spend time in the backyard... so that is what we offer our guests :)

Why they chose this property

We love old character homes with a cozy vibe. We enjoy the back garden, which is large and private and a beautiful place to spend a lazy afternoon. The cottage is close to downtown and all that Kamploops has to offer while also giving us easy access to great skiing and the Okanagan lakes and wine region.

What makes this property unique

Quiet, family home with great garden and all the amenities your family needs for a relaxing, comfortable stay!
