About this property

Lake Front Home & Cottage, Family Friendly, Private Beach, Dock and Buoy

Ideally located on a large half acre waterfront lot on the sunny Southern shore of Shuswap Lake, the property has a walkout bungalow home with two suites, along with a new custom built green cottage. The property comes with a large deck (650 ft2), three patio spaces (two covered), two gas BBQs and green spaces. Large windows give you amazing views of the lake and our private beach. Building construction and air conditioning provides for a cool oasis when you want to get away from the heat of the day during summer. And the gas fireplaces provide a cozy supply of extra heat on those cool days.

Set up as three separate independent living spaces, the property is ideal for family and friends who want to vacation together, but still maintain some level of privacy.

Come enjoy the best of BC!

We had an amazing week staying at this cottage. There were three families staying at the property. The location is prime. We spent the majority of the time on the dock where the kids had the opportunity to play in the lake. At the end of the day, it was nice that each family were able to go back to their own suite. The owners were also fantastic to deal with.

Great multi family getaway

We really enjoyed our stay for the week. Having two different quarters to stay in was great for two families. The covered patio on the lower cabin was a nice place to hang out on our one rain day and in the evenings. We spent a lot of time at the lake and it was really nice having a private beach, dock and buoy available for use because we also brought our boat. Great views of the lake and Copper Island from the property

Comfortable, Easy & Relaxing Stay

Our extended family had a lovely stay and really enjoyed the separate suits which allowed us lots of family time, but also the ability to have our own spaces. The kitchens were equipped with everything we needed and there was an abundance of items to enjoy/use at the beach and in the water. We did notify the owner of some mice in the ceiling, understanding that this does happen as the weather gets cooler. We definitely plan to be back again!

Shuswap Paradise

I stayed for a week with my parents and my brother’s family. This was the perfect place to stay for a family gathering. It was spacious for 5 adults and 3 kids. The deck is a highlight - perfect for watching sunsets and barbecuing. The lake access with a fire pit and dock was what sets this place apart. We spent days just swimming in the lake and the kids were in the water all day. There were life jackets and plenty of inflatable floating items. I would definitely come back.

Also, appreciated the gate at the end of deck as it kept our pets safe. The kitchen was very well equipped and made preparing our meals a snap. The beach was wonderful and we loved all the water toys that were made available for our use. We also appreciated the welcome gift from the owners. It was such a nice touch.

Blind Bay holiday

The host, Steve, always responded quickly to any questions. He generously provided an extra blowup mattress for our stay as well. We rented both the upper and lower suites. You do have to walk around the house to access the other suite. Both suites were well furnished, comfortable and clean. The upstairs kitchen was very well stocked for cooking all meals. We didn't really use the lower kitchen. The only issue was that the oven did not work. It would have been nice to know that before we arrived, so that we could have planned out meals accordingly. The location was great for us. You have access to your own slice of lakefront with a dock. We really enjoyed our stay at Shuswap Lake and will definitely return.

WONDERFUL!

This is our third stay at this property. As usual, my family had a relaxing and fun time. Many wonderful memories were made. The cabin was immaculate, as it always is. There was everything we needed from cooking equipment to beach toys. The only thing we needed to bring was food and clothes. There were 7 of us and we all had plenty of room. We came with 2 trucks, 1 boat and 1 car and had plenty of room to park. The only thing different this year is that the owners have built a cabin in the front yard and are living there. At first, I was very disappointed of this news and was not sure what to expect. As it turned out, it was really no problem. The owners respected our privacy and I only saw them on occasion.

Disappointed

This was our third summer at this property. The cottage, as in the past, was clean, spacious and well stocked. We love the summers in the Shuswap and enjoyed the water/dock and evenings on the large deck. There was one difference this year. We value our privacy and were surprised to learn a few days before our arrival, that the owner now lives in a smaller cottage at the front of the property. As a renter you no longer have exclusive use of the property. The owner does respect your privacy, but I feel this is something that should be clearly stated on the VRBO description for future guests, as the VRBO slogan is about renting "whole vacation properties".

Hi Don and Jan, We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed, but glad to hear that you felt that we respected your privacy. This has been a year of lots of change for us with retirement and moving to BC. This past year, we widened driveway; added new sod and shrubbery; improved view; and built a lovely new cabin to replace the old one. We were handed the cabin keys in late June allowing us to ready the property for guests and test drive the new cabin. There’s always uncertainty with a new build and big changes, we did our best to notify guests and will absolutely update our website for next season. Thanks for your suggestion, loyalty and previous five star ratings. You’ve been great guests, and hope to see you back. Steve and Karen

What a great home for a family vacation!

We had been looking for a home to rent for some of our family members so we could visit with other family who were staying at Carmel Beach Resort. We couldn't believe our good luck in finding this lovely home right across the road from the resort! What a lovely surprise when we arrived - a welcome note and bottle of wine from the owners! The home had every amenity we needed from a kitchen which was fully stocked with dishes and cooking utensils to very comfortable beds and immaculate bathrooms. The home is separated into a 2-bedroom/2 bathroom upstairs unit and a 2-bedroom/1 bathroom unit below (with its own kitchen). So, there was lots of space for everyone. With having decks on two sides of the house, we were able to be in the sun or shade as desired. When we could see clearly (due to forest fire smoke), the view out to Copper Island was spectacular - especially the sunset. We enjoyed the use of a great BBQ as well. The property has lots of parking space. On our last night, we ordered and picked up pizza from Finz (about 2 minutes away) and everyone declared it delicious! A couple of our group also went to Finz for lunch and said it was excellent. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone and hope to go back ourselves one day! Thanks to owners Karen and Steve for sharing their wonderful summer home!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Probert

Host profile image
We have been vacationing in BC's Okanagan area 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.

Why they chose this property

We are an active family and enjoy the ability to hike, bike, ski, kayak and swim directly from our cabin. 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 centres of Salmon Arm for any must haves or forgotten items!
