About this property

1st. CLASS Waterfront RESORT: Pool / Hot Tub / Clubhouse / Boat Moorage / Patios

As soon as you walk into this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom West Coast post and beam styled lodge you will feel, "Ah, it's perfect!"

Impressively designed with elegant and high-end decor, the lodge is located in Carmel Beach Resort, on the shore of Shuswap Lake. You'll be thrilled with the truly fully equipped gourmet kitchen, the designer selected furnishings and collectable art. The functional layout of this home is perfect for those whom enjoy each other's company but may want some privacy too (separate coffee station located in the lower suite).

Once you've unpacked, relax in one of the 2 living rooms, on one of the 3 decks or take the short stroll down to the beach, where you'll find many of the amenities. The amenities include a heated salt water pool (seasonal), hot tub, an elegant clubhouse, fitness centre, sauna & steam room, billiards room, community gas fire pit, kayak/paddle board rentals and plenty of lounging chairs.

While there's cable TV in the main seating area (including Apple TV), there's another TV-sitting room on the lower level too, which serves well for those whom like to have their own space (its like a mini-suite all on it's own.) There you'll find a bedroom, private bathroom, TV room and a Keurig coffee maker too (for those early morning risers). The TV room is also a great area for the children hang out, separate from the adults.

Need a desk? Adjoining the TV room is a desk, a desk chair and some office supplies too.

Although the lodge is located in the third row of the resort, its only a very short walk to the beach and amenities. It is also the quietest and MOST PRIVATE location in the resort. This unit (along with two others), share a private driveway, separate from the main resort. Here, you'll enjoy a private garage and extra parking too.

With an attention to detail (and a desire to please), pride was taken to provide you with an amazingly memorable and comfortable stay. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the art that adorns the walls, the easy-to-use appliances and the extras found throughout.

Should you need assistance (or perhaps you have a question), myself and/or my staff are only a phone call away to gladly assist you. We sincerely want you to thoroughly enjoy "your" vacation lodge and that it truly feels like it's home.

Importantly, may your stay be incredibly memorable!

A FEW IMPORTANT NOTES regarding booking requests:

*VRBO, doesn’t give me any information regarding you, nor the general purpose of your stay.

- When you send a reservation request, please confirm that you’ve read the house and resort rules (that way there are no surprises).
- The unit is on three floors; so yes…. there are stairs :-)
- It’s only a short walk to the pools, beach and clubhouse but it is on an incline.
- the pools are open from the May long weekend to after the Thanksgiving weekend (though an extreme weather event could change that).

Respectfully,
Janet

Cozy family friendly resort

Our family of 5 loved the space in the 3 story cabin. Very comfortable stay. Well stocked with “extras”. Appreciated having some condiments in the fridge and a kind welcome gift - who doesn’t love wine and chocolate!The resort had many amenities that we enjoyed - pool, hot tub, fireplace with roasting sticks. We will definitely considering staying again!

About the host

Hosted by Janet Nguyen-Currie

Host profile image
Hello and welcome!

My name is Janet Nguyen-Currie, and along with my husband and his friend, we are the new owners of this elegant property. We are sincerely thrilled and honoured to share this unit with you.

Between our 2 families, we have 3 children and we love to spend time at Shuswap Lake. Whether it be boating, going for a swim, or sitting by the fire, we've found that this is the best place to relax and spend time with our families.

Integrity is important to us and when we say that, our guest's vacation must be a "5-star" experience and hope that they'll have created some amazing, life long memories.

What makes this property unique

Carmel Beach Resort is loaded with amenities and activities within the resort however because of it's unique location (top of the Okanagan and central in the Shusway), it's close to many activities outside the resort.

There are many first class and champion golf courses in the area, including Shuswap Lake Estates Golf &CC (only minutes away), Talking Rock (15 minutes from here), Salmon Arm Golf & CC (25 minutes from here) and Hyde Mountain in Sicamous (45 minutes from here).

The Okanagan and Shuswap wineries (a must do!), a water-park for the kids in Salmon Arm and so much more. If you have a boat, well... you have a huge lake to go explore. If you're a cook or you want something to do on a rainy day, you'll love the fully equipped kitchen, it's just like home.

NOTE:
* There is no boat trailer storage within the resort.
* Tourist information can also be found inside the ottoman, for your perusal.
