Fantastic trip

I booked the Garde suite for my parents as we were staying with friends in a full house in the community. From the time they arrived to check out, it was absolutely amazing. The suite itself was immaculate and thoughtfully designed. It felt like a home away from home, with all the modern amenities one could ask for. The attention to detail was evident in every corner, from the cozy furnishings to the well-equipped kitchenette. Mornings were a delight for them sipping their coffee on the private patio, basking in the peace and quiet and the gentle rustling of leaves. Evenings were equally magical, with vibrant sunsets glowing warmly over the landscape. The host was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, ensuring that they had everything they needed for a comfortable stay. Whether seeking a romantic getaway or a peaceful retreat, this garden suite is the ideal destination. They left feeling rejuvenated and grateful for the unforgettable memories created during their stay. They can't wait to return and relive this slice of paradise. Thank you for everything, Elana (daughter of Rick and Vicki)

Comfortable and amazing hosts

We stayed in Osoyoos for 5 days. The rental is a down stairs on suite with the owners upstairs. The host/owners were amazing and very accommodating to our needs. We enjoyed our stay there and would stay again.
