We had such an amazing week at the Laughing Loon! Karen and Steve are superb hosts. They were incredibly helpful and accommodating from the moment we pulled up. The buoy and dock are so convenient if you are staying with a boat. Great location as well. For a cozy cottage, it was very spacious and had everything one would need! Plus the A/C was a treat!! Would be a pleasure to book again and stay here! 10/10!!Thanks so much Karen & Steve!

loved our stay!

We loved our stay! Such a great property with amazing views of the lake. Was a relaxing and rejuvenating week. Karen and Steve were such accommodating hosts. Really enjoyed the floating dock, and spent most nights watching the amazing sunsets from the oversized front covered deck. Plan to return next summer indeed.

Amazing!

Thank you to Karen for a wonderful stay. She was so kind (even offering to help with a fire at the beach ) and the property was perfect. We hung out on the deck all day and looked out at the beautiful view. Would absolutely go stay again and bring some friends! Highly recommend this stay.

Hi Wayne. We’re glad you enjoyed the property. We wish some people would slow down too on our lake road. Wish we could put in some speed bumps.

Great place. 4 guys on a golf trip and we all had a great time. The huge patio out front was great. The newly renovated kitchen and appliances made cooking dinner a couple of nights easy. The beds were comfortable. Hosts we're always quick to answer any questions or concerns we had.Direct access to the dock and the lake was great after a hot day golfing. Like an instant cold plunge! Headed down to Finz Marina and Resort 5 minutes down the road for dinner 2 nights, food and drinks were awesome. Would recommend you head there for a meal if you don't feel like cooking.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Probert

Host profile image
Our family has been vacationing in BC's Okanagan and Shuswap areas for years and have always had a wonderful time. We love the lake and all of the year-round recreational opportunities. In 2011 we were able to realize a dream and purchase our own vacation home.

My husband & I love meeting people and providing an environment for families, friends and work associates to relax, sit back and enjoy! For more than ten years, we have been providing vacation rentals for people to enjoy our little piece of paradise.

We are an active family and enjoy the ability to hike, bike, ski, kayak and swim directly from our cabin.

Why they chose this property

Blind Bay and nearby Sorrento are great communities offering many amenities including some great local restaurants, pubs, cafes, ice cream vendors, fantastic bakery and grocery, and medical clinic.

There are a number of local businesses nearby that we enjoy touring such as the wineries and cheese factory. And it is a tradition for my family to go to the Enderby drive-in movie theatre at least once each year!

Additionally, we are near the larger centre of Salmon Arm for any must haves or forgotten items!

What makes this property unique

The cottage with it's large covered deck and private yard space, along with access to the beach and lake directly in front, and use of our private dock and buoy offers a wonderful space for family and friends vacations.
