About this property

Welcome to the lake! You’ll start to relax the moment you enter this airy open concept waterfront home nestled amidst an acre of natural beauty. The floor to ceiling windows offer endless lake views from the kitchen, living room and dining room table with room for 8. Designed for relaxed simplicity, you're sure to find the perfect spot to put your feet up.

Step through the sliding doors onto the sprawling wood deck, lounge for hours in a shady Adirondack chair or step down to your private dock complete with swim ladder and canoe. Twin Lakes offers crystal clear water for the perfect day of swimming, sunning, fishing, or boating and is the perfect summer escape from the motor boats and crowds of larger lakes.

Enjoy the expansive yard complete with picnic table, fire pit, and large sand sport court perfect for some friendly cornhole or badminton fun!

After a day of fun in the sun, mix your favorite happy hour drinks in a fully stocked modern kitchen or spark up the grill for a gathering under the endless stars. At bedtime, cuddle up in a cozy main floor bedroom of your choice– one king and one queen. Upstairs offers a larger bedroom complete with 4 double beds (great for groups and large families) and a separate lounge overlooking the lake with a convertible king or two twin XL beds.

Our quaint little slice of paradise is minutes down the road from Twin Lakes Golf Course, and just a 20 minute drive from Penticton, Oliver and Keremeos. Whether you’re a golfer, fisherman, wine taster, or sunbather, you’ll be sure to make memories to last a lifetime.

The perfect lakefront getaway!

I can't say enough about the beauty and comfort of this natural oasis. There is so much space to yourself on the lakefront with the big yard and private dock. The water is warm and clean. We had deer, quail, and osprey around everyday, and turtles and fish off the dock! The house was above expectation for a rustic cabin on a lake. Modernized and very comfortable. The weather was really hot so we appreciated the AC upstairs. We worried the single bathroom would be an issue but we spent so much time outdoors that it was no problem at all. The hosts were so great to work with too! Happy to find this hidden gem in our search for a lakefront experience that didn't come with all the noise and congestion of the bigger lakes! Our only complaint? We didn't stay long enough and will definitely plan for a week or two next summer.

Dreamy stay at the loveliest lake

My friends and I had a lovely stay at this gorgeous oasis. Our own lakefront dock, just to ourselves was exactly what us city crew needed to completely unwind and relax. The lake is refreshing and warmer than most BC lakes and it is lovely to swim in. There is abundant wildlife to see including loons, eagles, hawks, deer, turtles and fish. The cabin has everything you would need, a true home away from home!

About the host

Hosted by The McLean-Meissners

Hello friends! We are the McLeans and Meissners... two busy families from Langley BC whose shared summer lifestyle brought them together to purchase The Lakehouse together in 2019 with dreams of long lazy days on the water, sharing food and drinks, laughing with our kids, and making memories to last a lifetime. We are so excited for you to do the same!

Why they chose this property

Twin Lakes? Where is that? Which is exactly what we said when we first came here by luck 5 years ago. The lake is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of everything we love most about the Okanagan. We love being on the water, sampling the local wine, and heading up the road for a round of golf. Just 15 minutes from Skaha and Lake Okanagan, we wanted the lake life but with more privacy to spread out and enjoy the peace and quiet of the natural beauty here. We love our slice of rustic wild paradise, with the benefit of full time neighbours and friendly locals who visit the lake every year. The views stole our hearts from the moment we arrived. The warm water and sunshine fill our souls every summer. Come listen to the loons, watch the eagles and osprey dive, and paddle across a glassy lake at sunrise, sunset, or beneath a stunning starry sky.

What makes this property unique

Our little lakehouse isn't perfect and you won't find a manicured lawn or fancy resort amenities. But we never get over the ever changing lake views from every window. The big open A-frame space is built for simple relaxation. We also love to cook so we have a well stocked kitchen that is yours to enjoy. We have added many little comforts to what started as a rustic cottage. The entryway accommodates all your luggage, coolers, SUPs, bikes, clubs, you name it! Then you can step into the uncluttered main space for instant relaxation. The yard is flat and big enough for family picnics or sports days. Your own private dock leads you to deep water perfect for cooling off in the hot summer heat, catching fish, or spotting turtles. And it is an easy climb back to the house to refill your glass. All this only 15 minutes away from Keremeos, Penticton, and Oliver.
