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!

Great space with lots of room and right across from the beach. I like that it has essentially 3 different living spaces for large groups to have their own space. Beach was rocky but nice, and having access to kayaks was amazing!

We were absolutely spoiled with this vacation spot. Hard place to beat! There was ample private/living space for all family members with excellent proximity to private beach, dock and bouy. Lake was a bit shallow to pull up with the boat to the dock, but kayaks were provided and made boat access and water travel very easy. We would undoubtedly rent here again.

Amazing property! Love the 3 separate units and the middle grass section for lawn games. Plenty of room for everyone and the proximity to the beach is perfect. Best view with a coffee on any of the outside seating areas. Tons of parking spots and room for a boat trailer. Love that the top units wrap around deck and has a gate that made it perfect for our dog. Kitchens are fully stocked with everything you can think of. We hope to be back next year! Hosts are wonderful as well.

We stayed for a week at this beautiful property. The recent upgrades, immaculate yard, landscaping, views, and of course, private beach were absolutely amazing! We traveled with our adult daughters, husbands and grandchildren. There was plenty of space to gather in the upper cabin suite for family meals, and the separate downstairs suite and cottage provided the much appreciated individual family spaces. Karen and Steve were fantastic. We will be back!

Excellent place to stay near Blind Bay for a large group! Property is just across the road from the lake (30 seconds walk)--and you have your own private lakeside terrace with a fireplace, small beach area, and dock. Two kayaks are provided--as well as a ton of beach amenities. The views, especially at sunset, are beautiful.The three living spaces are excellent--and and help provide some privacy while still allowing large group meet-ups. There is a washer/dryers in all three suites. In the kitchen, coffee/tea, oil, vinegar, pepper, and Himalayan salt are provided. One of the suites has a dishwasher. The cabin has an ice-cube maker. In the bathroom, you need to bring all of your own toiletries (eg. soap, shampoo, conditioner, etc.). A hair dryer was included in some of the suites, but not all.

Always enjoyable and comfortable home. We have stayed a couple times and love the fact it has like to separate places in one house. It offers a chance to holiday with others but the privacy of two places, two kitchens and spacious bedrooms.

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!

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!
