We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The space was perfect for our family with sleeping space and number of washrooms. We had adults children and infants. Everyone was accommodated. We really lucked out on the beautiful Lake Country weather. Booking and check in was awesome and communication with property owner was excellent. So much fun!

This house, and its location, was fantastic. There were 5 of us on a girls trip. We appreciated the beautiful view everyday, and enjoyed using the outdoor kitchen for meals. The location is peaceful, the house has enough space to accommodate a large group. We managed to enjoy the pool, despite it not being heated (this would be our one complaint, hence the 4/5 stars). We are hoping the heater does get fixed, as we would love to book this home again next year.
Owner's Response: "So happy you loved the house! The pool is never heated; we use a solar cover to help heat the water. Okanagan's summer days are hot so we like a cool pool!"
The home had a fabulous location overlooking Kalamalka lake and the views were really lovely and the location was very peaceful. The outdoor kitchen was also very nice.The property could be good, but it is in need of some care and the bedroom configuration should be made clearer on the listing. The master bath had a unacceptable amount of mold in the shower. There were numerous dark stains on the living room ceiling which looked like maybe the roof leaked. The kitchen although large had cupboards and drawers very disorganized. Overall the home seemed tired and not well maintained even though the photos look good.Except for the master and the bedroom in the coach house, the other 3 bedrooms were in the lower level which really felt like a basement to us and the air was damp. One of the rooms described as a bedroom had no closet or window...so really NOT a bedroom. The other two lower level bedrooms did have sliding doors but the rooms were very dark and one of the bedrooms had a large motor home parked right in front of the doors. Overall we were disappointed with the house. The owner/manager did give us a refund which was generous for some cleaning issues. Potential guests should know that the house is in need of some care and most of the bedrooms are in the lower level.

Hi Dana, We're glad that you enjoyed the villa's beautiful lake views, and we were sorry to hear that some other aspects of the property fell short of your expectations:
- We take the accuracy of our listings seriously, and travelers can see in the photos that some of the bedrooms are downstairs before they book
- The homeowner has confirmed that the mildew in the rain shower and the stains on the ceiling have been completely cleaned
The owner does take care to make sure that their guests are as comfortable as possible, and we're confident that upcoming travelers can look forward to 5-star stays moving forward!
