Great little get away

The Little House is great, Lanny and Debbie were great hosts. The turkeys and chickens entertained the kids, they also loved the water right behind the house. Great little getaway from daily life, just what we needed.

A wonderful retreat away from city life. A time of quiet reflection on a farm and river with wonderful big sky, sights and sounds of animals and fantastic hosts. Accommodations was everything you could need or want for a home away from home.

Awesome hosts and surroundings

We spent four nights at this awesome place. Debbie and Lanny were excellent hosts. Our kids fed the chickens, went tubing on the river and ride their bikes on the Trans Canada Trail behind the property. Very relaxing atmosphere. We'll definitely return in the future. Ana and Ben

Life on the River

All of us (5 adults) thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cabin by the river. The cabin was well equipped and contained all the necessary amenities that made our stay relaxing and enjoyable. The hosts were friendly and helpful, even offering us farm fresh eggs in the morning. Although there was no ac the cabin remained cool throughout the day and night. This was an excellent getaway!

Above & Beyond

The cottage was fully stocked with everything you need for a week long vacation, or longer really! The owners went above and beyond to help us feel welcome, share about the area and make sure we always had everything we needed! The acerage is absolutely beautiful! So quiet and relaxing. We loved hanging out, and learning about the chickens! The property has access to the river, a fire pit and BBQ. Our family, with 2 teenagers, highly recommends this property!

A thoroughly wonderful experience

My husband and I spent a week here in early September, and couldn't have wished for a lovelier time. I counted 44 bird species from the back deck, which overlooks the beautiful Kettle River. We swam in the river, played golf at the excellent course nearby, cycled the rail trail across the river, and canoed in Jewel Lake. The cottage is absolutely clean, and utterly charming. Debbie and Lanny are delightful hosts, as are their 7 curious turkeys. We're already planning our next visit.

Great place to stay

Beautiful cottage right by the river. Fully stocked kitchen with a BBQ right outside. Having a morning coffee on the back deck while watching the river go by, and having an afternoon snack at the front watching the cows graze and the chickens roam was great. Debbie and Lanny are excellent hosts, very friendly and more than happy to share tips on what to see in the area. There were some nice hiking opportunities very nearby, including a great hike up to a viewpoint of the valley, lots of deer to see around there for sure. Definitely would recommend! Not to mention the dozen fresh farm eggs they graciously provided. Delicious! Matt

Memorable Kettle Valley

Debbie and Lanny are fantastic and made us feel welcomed and comfortable. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable stay. Whether it's their warm hospitality, helpful recommendations, prompt responsiveness, or attention to detail, exceptional, they truly make a difference. We had a wonderful time with Debbie and Lanny, who exceeded our expectations. The cottage was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Overall, this cottage is a hidden gem, offering a delightful blend of comfort, style, and hospitality. It’s a place where you can create cherished memories and truly feel like you’ve found a home away from home. We're looking forward to this great experience again. Jagth, Shobha, Tim, Kit and Rehan 💝
