About this property

Peaceful, romantic hideaway surrounded by vineyards.

A heritage log cottage on our 23 acre property. It boasts a spacious bedroom and fully equipped kitchen. Vintage View Cottage is situated amidst park-like settings with expansive lawns and inviting gardens and is totally private. The large covered decks offer an exceptional view of Skaha Lake with immaculate vineyards in the foreground.The cottage has a unique rustic appeal, yet boasts all the comforts you require. It has a well-appointed bedroom with King bed and walk out deck, a kitchen with all new appliances and fixtures, a utility room with new washer and dryer, a back patio with gas bar-b-q, and a living room tastefully furnished with a front sitting deck. We have recently installed an air conditioning unit in the main bedroom, ideal for those hot summer nights, allowing you to be able to sleep soundly.
The cottage is perfect for a couple who would like to experience a secluded, relaxing, romantic holiday. The setting seems like you are away from it all, but you are only minutes from downtown Penticton and Skaha Lake.
Whether you like to hike, climb, cycle, lay on the beach, tour wineries, or just plain relax, Vintage View Cottage is the place. We are very excited to offer this experience to you.
We are constantly told what a unique and amazing little piece of the Okanagan we have. Vistas from every part of the property, and whether you awake to the birds singing or a breathtaking sunset you really feel like you have escaped away from it all. Just 10 minutes from Penticton it is hard to believe you are so close to all the conveniences when you arrive. Gardens, vineyards and the famous rocking climbing bluffs are on your doorstep. If it is peace and tranquility or adventure, training for the challenge or triathlons held at various times of the year, Vintage View Cottage is for you.

Lovely welcoming home away from home

We spent 6 very enjoyable days here in August. The owners were very welcoming and helpful, and the property had everything we needed (apart from an iron which was promptly loaned to us for a few days). The views are stunning, but the property is only 10 minutes from Penticton, making it easy for shopping or restaurants and sightseeing. Overall, we would thoroughly recommend this to anyone looking for a character property in which to relax.

Peaceful paradise

The cottage, views, fresh veggies & herbs, and hospitality were incredible. We loved the rustic ambiance of the 100 year old cottage, and appreciated the upgrades to meet our comfort needs. A little slice of peaceful paradise. Looking forward to our visit next year! Shane, Krystal and Clutch

Summer Highlight

This was our second summer vacationing at Vintage View and it was a summer highlight 2 years in a row. The cottage and surrounding area fits our family vacation wish list to perfection. The character, cleanliness and comfort of the cottage is superb and the views and surrounding vineyard is magical. The hosts are very welcoming, we definitely hope to return again next year. Thank you Claire and Fritz!

Outstanding spring stay

This is a beautiful cottage in an excellent location just on the edge of Penticton. The views are fantastic and the cottage is beautiful and comfortable. I had an excellent grape vine pruning tutorial from Fritz and plan to return to see the vines in other seasons. There are great hiking trails to access right from the cottage. Getting to the various wineries and to/from Penticton is easy and it was so nice to be in a quiet beautiful place away from it all at the end of the day exploring the area.

Peaceful get away

This place is heaven on earth. It is so peaceful and beautiful and the hospitality is wonderful. We spent 3 nights there over the canada day long weekend and had a very restful time. It has everything you need and more. It is close to town and all amenities but far enough away that you feel like you are away from the city. We loved the sights and sounds of all the little animals and enjoyed the view while sipping local wine. We will be back for sure.

Home Away from Home

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at Vintage View Cottage for the first week of September and it was nothing less than spectacular. The Cottage felt like home, Claire and Fritz were wonderful hosts and our morning visits from Pekoe while sipping our coffee on the deck was a great way to start our day. The vineyard is stunning and the view is world class. I would absolutely recommend staying at the Vintage View Cottage! You won't be disappointed!

Beautiful!!!

My husband and I stayed at Claire and Fritz's cottage for seven days while touring wineries in the area. The cottage was clean and provided modern amenities in a rustic atmosphere. The view from the deck is breathtaking! Claire and Fritz checked in with us a few times to ensure we had everything we needed. We have stayed in many VRBOs and this one was one of the best. We left feeling relaxed and hoping one day to return.

A Place of Tranquility

The setting for this cottage is great as it overlooks Skaha Lake. Whether sitting on the large deck or at the side of the cottage, there is always either sunshine or shade, depending on the time of day. The surrounding vineyards and garden add to the sense of serenity. The decor inside the cottage, including wool carpets and handmade carvings and tapestries etc, add to the experience. A great place to stay. Fritz and Claire are friendly and helpful.

Wonderful wine cottage in the vineyard

We enjoyed a great week at this charming log cabin in the middle of a working vineyard overlooking Skaha Lake. Peaceful but within 5 minutes of Penticton's downtown and near some excellent wineries - almost across the street from Pentage, one of our favourites. Claire and Fritz were wonderful and attentive hosts, going well beyond expectations. Thanks for a lovely stay and we would return again in the future. The cabin has a full kitchen, dishwasher, BBQ outside and everything you need to cook, as well as TV and Wifi.

Sublime!

Truly a piece of heaven set in a Monet painting. The location is beautiful beyond words, the cabin is cozy and charming (in all the best ways), the organic garden is yours for the picking, and it all comes with the most charming of hosts, Claire, Fritz, and their Border Collie, Pekoe. We came for the wine country but ended up spending two of our days just hanging out with Pekoe because it was all so perfect - can't wait to go back!

The South Okanagan at its Best

We enjoyed a delightful week in the Vintage View Cottage. It is just as shown in the listing only better. The cabin itself is beautifully maintained and outfitted with every convenience. The location has spectacular views of the lake but is also wonderfully peaceful and quiet. Claire and Fritz are the perfect hosts, hospitable and welcoming without being intrusive in any way. Ours was a thoroughly positive experience and we would recommend it without reservation – this cottage is a real gem.

Vintage Holiday

There is so much to experience in Penticton in the summer months and Vintage View is the perfect starting and end point to your day. Morning coffee and breakfast on the deck overlooking the natural beauty of the vineyard and lake, hike, run or bike ride before peak sun and then cool off with a swim in one of the nearby lakes (short drive away). Or simply take a break from it all and relax at the cottage with a book and beverage. A wonderful place and the owners were very welcoming!

Paradise Found!

Pictures are true to life! You won't be disappointed! All the conveniences are included and the location on the edge of Penticton is handy to Skaha Lake, Skaha Bluffs, Kettle Valley Trail, and the numerous wineries in the Okanagan area. Fritz and Claire are warm and friendly hosts, graciously sharing their piece of paradise and friendly dog Pekoe. Grounds are beautifully kept and it was wonderful for us prairie dwellers to experience a vineyard. Will definitely return!

the nicest cottage ever

Our 4-day break at Vintage Cottage was the best stay ever. Everybody knows that the wine region around Penticton is spectacular, but Vintage Cottage is its hidden diamond. Thanks to Claire & Fritz the small wooden house made us feel as we never wanted to leave this place. Very clean and cozy, well equipped. Lovely place in the middle of private vineyard with a view on sunset upon the Shaka Lake. And the night sky make you think about the decision whether you gonna lie down in comfortable bed or you will stay all night long watching that beauty on the porch...

Perfect Getaway

We spent 5 glorious days at this beautiful cabin in September 2014. Claire and Fritz were wonderful hosts and were very helpful with suggestions on how to enjoy this scenic part of BC. Great hiking, wineries galore, jazz festival, Penticton market, and more. The view is amazing from the cabin that has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing vacation. We could have easily stayed longer. Check out Claire's store Teas and Weaves in Penticton. Thank you so much Claire and Fritz for the memorable stay and your warm hospitality. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Vintage View Cottage

The 3 night stay in July at the vintage view cottage exceeded our expectations! It was well equipped with everything you need, very clean, and decorated with the most amazing art objects from around the world. The cottage overlooked the lake, with the vineyard and the most incredible hiking and climbing trails behind. Claire and Fritz were friendly, gracious and went out of their way to provide anything we needed. We will return next year for sure, but for a longer stay as there is so much to enjoy in the area. Thank you so much Fritz and Claire!

Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic!

What can I say apart from if you are reading this, you simply MUST stay here. The cottage is gorgeous, has an amazing outlook through the vines to the lake. It has everything you could possibly need and the owners have decorated it with so many interesting things that on the last day I was still discovering new treasures. We have been touring for 4 weeks and this is by far the pick of anywhere we have stayed and very reasonably priced. The hosts could not have been more helpful or friendly but never intruded on our privacy. We also did 2 tours with Ron from Sunshine & Wine tours that we would thoroughly recommend.

The cottage and grounds were beyond our expectations.

From the moment the gate swings open to this delightful retreat we fell in love with the beautiful yard, garden and spiffy cottage. The kitchen is well stocked. The cottage is super clean and cozy. We took advantage of the offer to help ourselves to produce from the garden. Whether perched inside with a cup of tea, or outside on the front porch with an evening glass of wine,the views of the beautifullly maintained grounds and delicious silence are addictive. The resident canine is a bundle of love and fun. We are already planning our next visit.
