Great cozy home base for the weekend
This made a great cozy home base for the weekend while we visited family in the Okanagan. Especially thankful for the pet friendly accommodation! There is amazing off-leash dog area near by as an added bonus. Communication with Pam was fast, easy, and friendly. We were greeted to homemade cookies and a bottle of bubbly to celebrate New Years. A delightful and thoroughly enjoyed surprise! Thanks Pam!

Idea location for winter ski holiday.
This was our second stay at this basement suite. Lots of space and good kitchen make it ideal for a base while doing skiing up at Sovereign Lake or Silver Star.
