About this property

Tranquil setting with beautiful views overlooking Skaha Lake

Sit on the deck and watch wild life visit. Deer or mountain sheep roam through the property with osprey and eagles above. Sip on wine you picked up on a walk to a winery in the neighborhood. Under 10 minutes drive to several beaches in Okanagan Falls or Penticton. Take your bike along the KVR trail in Okanagan Falls or climb the world renowned Skaha Bluffs under 10 minutes away. There is a kayak provided for you to explore Skaha, Vaseux or Okanagan lakes.
Or find solitude with a book in the gazebo in the shade.
Whether you choose to hike, bike, play on the water or enjoy the wineries and restaurants in the south Okanagan my home is an ideal place to come home to and relax.
The vacation rental is a 1450sq ft 3 bedroom,2 bathroom home accessible via a flat walkway from the car port. Private use of the deck, gazebo and garden.

NOTE there is a steep bank to one side of the property, parents MUST supervise young children. Plenty of areas otherwise for them to run and play.

There is a completely separate (entrance and patio) suite not visible from the main home only visible from the lower bottom yard. The tenant works away and is rarely home during the summer.

Many thanks for choosing my home for your family vacation Sandy. Fabulous guests who left the home pristine. They even started the laundry with sheets which was a wonderful surprise. I would be delighted to welcome all of them including the four legged member of the family Datsun!

Week getaway in Okanagan

Wonderful stay. The pripert is very comfortable with ample room for our family with my parents and our kids. The deck overlooks the lake and beautiful sunsets. Sandra was very welcoming including bringing the kids some bubnles and thoughful gift of local jam and relish. Highly recommend!

Response from VrboOwner on 30 June 2025
Kshitij’s family were super friendly and the young children were so sweet. Very good communication whilst staying in my home. The only thing I would ask is for a higher cleaning fee next time. It took longer than usual because there was a large sticky mess all over the wood floor by the deck door. I think it was perhaps a freezy as I found an empty wrapper under the stool. Food scraps in both sinks , sticky windows and doors. My thoughts are it was busy leaving getting little ones ready and things were overlooked perhaps. Having said this I would welcome this family again.

Beautiful setting

We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing on the wonderful deck with our coffee in the morning. The view was spectacular, loved the flowers, and we had visits from the deer every day. It was a very tranquil setting. Sandra was very friendly, accommodating and great to deal with. We had some issues but she did her best to deal with them.

Beautiful property overlooking Skaha Lake

My husband and I and our two adult daughters stayed in this beautiful home with a gorgeous view from the large back deck. The gazabo at the front is a great place for tea and a good book. We enjoyed having meals on the patio and enjoying the view. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms which was perfect for us. The house is spacious and well-equipped. Sandra communicated well with us over our stay with a quick response time.

Gracious host and great for families.

We had a great time at this home with a great view of Skaha lake, a wonderful and accommodating host and the location is close to Pentiton. We were in the area for a family milestone birthday. We were able to host a couple family dinners at this location with 4 generations. The layout was great to accommodate everyone inside and out on the deck. The host provided many extra amenities and condiments that were very much appreciated.

Good stay. Sandra was very helpful and met us at the house to show us around her place. Cabinets are fully stocked with day to day items and so you will not be wanting.Deck has beautiful view - rail though quite rickety but Sandra warned us about it and the staircase that’s no longer safe.Nice AC. Sandra left morning coffee and juice refreshments and freezies for the kids as a bonus. Long term basement tenant is not listed in the description but he is rarely around and did not disturb our stay.

Thank you Thea and Bobby for choosing to stay in my home. I appreciated how clean and tidy it was . Even having washed all the beach towels prior to departure very thoughtful gesture. I would welcome this family and their dog back anytime. I wanted to clarify a couple of things. My deck is safe and sound, I have plants in front of the stairs is to prevent that route used as I have two other ways to get to the lower lawns. The warning I gave ( as one of the children was 7) for the drop off at the side of the property. This is listed under outdoor space. I am sorry you didn’t see my disclosure and description (under additional information ) about my long term tenant in the suite . Again a pleasure having this family stay.

Amazing Sunset Views

Sandra was a wonderful and attentive host. She met us at the door, explained everything concerning the home and had a book 4” thick with information on the things “to see and do” in the valley. When considering our booking, she sent photos of the driveway and parking options as one of us was arriving in a 25’ camper van. There was a “water boil alert” in the area to not drink the warmer, but she supplied several 5 gallon water jug and a fancy dispenser so it was a non-issue. When the weather suddenly got HOT, we tried to use the AC, which promptly died Sandra worked her magic on a Sunday and had a repairman there in hours. Unfortunately, it was terminal. Such is life, but she swept back in with 3 fans to help us over the last night. Unfortunately, even though we could see that the home was VERY clean, the cleaner had neglected to sweep and/or mop any of the floors. Additionally, the list in VRBO neglected to advise that the property was shared with an elderly gentleman who lived below and had a car parked under the cover. Sandra and I spoke and she agreed to make this advisement in her future postings on VRBO. The tenant was seldom seen or heard, but it is something that should be known before renting. Overall, we would rent the home again and enjoy the large kitchen and views.

Thank you Larry. Larry’s group of 4 were wonderful guests . Very easy to communicate with and respectful of the property. As Larry explained unfortunately my AC quit on the hottest weekend of the year. Larry and company were extremely understanding to a difficult situation . I was able to obtain the specific coolant from another company after the weekend as a temporary fix until the new unit can be installed.. However this was after Larry and Co had tolerated the heat and left. Larry was gracious in discussing his opinion of the basement suite. As the suite has a separate entrance , patio out of view and a very quiet tenant I hadn’t thought it an issue. I agree with Larry though to add it to the description for transparency. I very much appreciate Larry mentioning this to me and all comments positive and negative are important to improve my listing . I take pride in the home being cleaned thoroughly, I believe somehow the floor was inadvertently missed by the cleaner. Again good feedback to have a walk through prior to the guests arrival. My cleaner has already been notified and has assured me it was an oversight that won’t happen again. I did offer Larry’s party an extra night however their plans were already scheduled ahead of time. I didn’t blame them wanting somewhere cooler! The offer stands for another trip to the Okanagan . I would very much like to see these 4 lovely people again in the future. I would highly recommend them as guests. I almost forgot, my large umbrella decided to leave the deck in a sudden gust of wind. Larry said they watched it take flight and crash to the ground. Without any questions money was left to compensate the destroyed umbrella. Honesty and integrity. Again thank you for choosing to stay in my home.

About the host

Hosted by sandra

Host profile image
Hello I recently retired from the health care field. I have lived in the Southern Okanagan for many years. I have two adult children who live away from home. I have been fortunate to have travelled to many places around the world and enjoy the road less travelled. I love to immerse in the places and cultures whenever possible.
We are lucky to have many areas outdoors to explore in the Okanagan. I enjoy downhill skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, kayaking, cycling and make an attempt to golf.
I would love to pass on hidden gems we have here, be it our wineries, restaurants or just a quiet place to enjoy the views.

Why they chose this property

The beautiful scenery whether it’s with the sun shining or snow falling the lake views are stunning. Living close to nature, having animals roam through my property I feel blessed to witness them.
I can hike or bike from my home on great trails. I can walk to a couple of local wineries or down to the lake for a swim.

What makes this property unique

I am on 1/2 acre of land, on a cul de sac dead end so it is a quiet location to sit and recharge listening to the birds in my mature yard.
