Loved everything about this house. Great location, spotlessly clean, comfortable beds, lake is directly across the street, views, etc. thoughtful host. I was always reluctant to travel with our little dog mainly because I’ve had bad experiences with pet hotels. This house was so clean you would never know a pet was ever in there.

This was a lovely unit in a great location. You do have to be comfortable with stairs tho. Easy parking right outside your front door, lovely view of the lake. Hosts had kayak and canoe for us to use but the April weather made it too cool for us. There were also start up milk and creamer as well as condiments for our use. Linens and towels were great as was the bed. Super rain shower and soaker tub. We stayed a week and enjoyed every minute.

Our stay was flawless. The location was a perfect distance from all things in all places we wanted to be. It was quiet. The only sound we heard were the lapping of the Waves as they were coming in off the lake. Our hosts were incredible. Very communicative and even when I messed up our checkout dates they were very accommodating with letting us get out at a later checkout time when they didn't have to. I would absolutely stay here again and I would always recommend others to stay here. It is very unique. Lots of character and very well taken care of.

We had a wonderful stay at the boathouse. The location was exceptional providing us the opportunity for some beautiful views, great walks right outside our door, immediate access to the lake, and a quick walk (15 - 20 mins) to downtown. Communication with our host was excellent. The property was immaculate and very well appointed. We really appreciated the dog friendly space and extra attention given to our four legged family member, including a comprehensive list of pet friendly breweries which we certainly availed ourselves. The access to paddle boards, kayaks and bikes was very much appreciated. As the fall weather in Kelowna was beautiful, we spent much of our time on the rooftop patio enjoying the fire table well into the evening. If you are fortunate enough to find availability at the boathouse, do not hesitate. You will not be disappointed.

A slice of paradise

This is definitely one of my favourite places I’ve stayed in the Okanagan. Literally such a gem, this place has everything you could possibly want/need. The lake is right outside the front door and there are plenty of watercraft to borrow to enjoy the lake. The space is super comfortable and stylishly decorated. Perhaps the best part is the deck right off the bedroom where you can take in the incredible view and get cozy by the fire table. 10/10 stay, truly a privilege to stay at the boat house!

Very nice home right across from the water. Everything was wonderful. The only thing to mention is that the little sleeping front room on the front door level - gets very hot when it’s in the 30s. They need an AC unit of some kind, maybe even a window AC unit.
