The perfect place for us! We were two families there for a weekend - 4 adults, 5 kids. The cottage is very well-suited for kids with games, toys, bikes, life jackets, crib, high chairs - truly everything you need! The kids had an absolute blast staying in their bunk bed room and the parents thoroughly enjoyed the sunroom and outdoor space. The pools and hot tubs were a hit for the kids and the playground is conveniently on the way to/from the kids. Thank you so much for having us. We can’t wait to return (and stay for longer)!

Cottages at Osoyoos.

The house was ideal for our large family of young children. The complex was very well maintained with a great pool and easy lake access.

The Lake Cottage - a relaxing desert getaway!

This is a very nice, clean and well provisioned location. Jared and Sonya have put together a well organized tastefully decorated cottage just out of the way of the summer melee of the South Okanagan. We enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable place to enjoy their summer holiday at the lake.

Our stay in Osoyoos was quite wonderful. The property is very good. This is in a gated community with fantastic paths and really wasn’t overly populated. Sonja was very quick to address our questions and addressed them all very promptly and to our satisfaction. The house was reasonably well equipped - we had every thing we needed for the most part. We cooked a lot and bbq’d a lot as well.

The only down fall was the pool and hot tub were advertised. We walked to the hot tub and it was closed. We could have planed a different thing to do.Other than that we plan to rent again next year. Everything was excellent. The house was fully stocked with anything we needed. Thank you. Was wonderful.

So glad you had a wonderful stay! So sorry about the hot tub - we never know when minor repairs are planned for. The pool, however, is only ever open from the May long weekend till the end of September. All the best!

We had a wonderful stay at Sonja’s property in Osoyoos! The home was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing long weekend. The views from the patio were absolute perfection for morning coffee and quiet evenings. Sonja was a fantastic, responsive host and made check-in seamless. We would love to stay here again!

The cottage was perfect for multiple families and well equipped in all areas including the kitchen and the garage. There was no shortage of towels, beach chairs, bikes or life jackets and even included a paddle board and some kids kayaks. Can’t wait to come back next year!

Great place, great location

This is our second visit to the cottages and we will def be back! It’s great for families, really beautifully landscaped grounds, private Sandy beach, good sized pool and hot tub. Sonja’s place was great, and she was a very responsive host. We were travelling with our toddler so the playpen and booster seat were super handy. My older kids loved all the kids toys as well. It’s among the best stocked house I’ve seen— lots of kids dinnerware, bikes with helmets, pool, beach snd water toys. Definitely well equipped, clean, and newer furnishings. It was just our family of five, but you could easily fit two families with the number of beds and layout. Thank you for hosting us!

About the host

Hosted by Sonja Hindmarsh

Host profile image
We are a family of 6 who love hosting families and giving our guests a home away from home! We have been managing our guesthouse in the Mt. Lehman, Abbotsford area for the last 3 years and have loved meeting new people!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with "the Cottages" in Osoyoos and dreamed of having another place for others to enjoy - the lake, the beach, the sun and more! And now our dream is coming true! We hope you will make memories that last whether it is for a quiet getaway as couples or as a family vacation.

What makes this property unique

We love adventure and activity! We are both avid hikers and bikers and would love to offer a "fleet" of bikes to use while you stay at our vacation cottage. Explore the Kettle Valley Railway just minutes away from our cottage or use them to ride around the resort. We also have a lineup of children's and adult kayaks available to use during your stay. The more adventure the better!
