Welcome to Shangri-La!

This secluded property offers everything we want for a vacation rental. From the beautiful view at the front to all the hiking trails starting from the back yard one doesn’t need to leave the property for your entire stay. The pool, hot tub, pond and garden are icing on the cake. When you enter the property one knows they have entered a BC version of Shangri-La. Our hope is to make this an annual family trip. Namaste

Hidden gem

Beautiful property. Truly a hidden gem. Glen & Robyn are great hosts. Location is incredible to connect with nature, relax, and "disconnect" from the noise of the world. It is also nice to have the pool, hot tub and sauna to treat ourselves :-) Our boys and our dog also had a great time hanging out and playing with Kibou. What am impressive dog! Thanks Glen and Robyn!

A little slice of paradise

Robyn and Glen have the perfect vacation spot. There are stunning views of kootney lake, the duncan river and selkirk mountain. They have a wonderful abundant garden that you are welcome to enjoy. We had the most relaxing time in the hottub and pool . There were many lawn games to play as well as indoor games, multiple movies and CD's to listen to. My granddaughter enjoyed playing endlessly on the beautiful grounds with her new fur friends Kibau and Cricket !! Worth every moment. Thank You so much Robyn and Glen for sharing your home, we would definitely return to Argenta . Pam and family

About the host

Hosted by Robyn Skobalski

We wanted to get out of the city and leave our stressful jobs in the Okanagan behind. So we searched for and found our slice of paradise in the West Kootenay and have never regretted it.

Why they chose this property

We had a list of 20 possible properties that fit the description of what we were looking for and we packed up our truck and spent a weekend checking them all out. This was the last property on our list and we immediately fell in love with it and the area. We returned home at the end of the weekend and on Monday we met with the bank to make an offer. The rest is history!

What makes this property unique

After 25 years we are still discovering new things to do out here. The hiking is endless and the lakes are beautiful. There is so much to explore. We are tucked away in a little corner of B.C. that is undiscovered and special. Over the years we have repeatedly talked about wanting to share what we have with others and finally four years ago we decided to go for it and here we are listed as a vacation rental. We hope our place will inspire others to pursue their dreams.
