We had a wonderful time at this property, enjoying the pool and gorgeous setting. The host is fantastic to work with and accommodating in all respects; the little cottage included all the little things you need to prepare meals, which almost never happens. We stayed as a small group (two adults, one child) and the little space worked well for us. Bonus points for proximity to a great winery (Pentage) and the best beach. We'll be back-- thank you!

Very nice clean place and fun to wake up to horses and deer in the yard. Not having a kitchen sink or a stove was a bit of an issue but we managed to work around it. Really nice, helpful people to deal with during our stay.

This lovely guest house is surrounded by beautiful views of the lake and mountains on on side, and an idyllic horse pasture on the other. Colleen made check-in super easy, and her two friendly farm dogs are just adorable! Highly recommended.

We had a very nice 3 night stay in the bale house. This place is in a fantastic location, close to wineries, downtown, the lake and parks.
Colleen was very friendly and gave us many helpful tips.
This is one of the loveliest settings you could imagine . The pool, hot tub, gardens and horses in the field are your views out of all the windows. Wonderful!

A piece of paradise
Wonderful little cottage with a view down to the lake. Cozy and comfy and we loved looking out the window to see the horses grazing. Very peaceful and quiet. Great location for wine touring and for access to biking trails. We enjoyed both. Highly recommend.

The place is cozy with amazing craftsmanship, is well set up and has a very comfortable living areas indoors and out. Colleen was an efficient and accommodating host. Our children loved the hot tub and pool as well as the friendly horses! The location above Skaha beach and park is so convenient with glorious views. We went for evening walks and had access to all the stores and services a 5 min drive away. Overall an excellent experience.

We loved our stay in the Straw Bale cottage. Everything was as advertised - it is small but perfectly appointed with everything you would need to provide for yourself for a week.From the moment we arrived we felt welcome and that carried on for the entire week. We had hot weather during our week here so the pool was a fantastic bonus!Thanks so much Colleen for being such a wonderful host!

This is such a unique guest house. Breathtaking views from every window and a location to behold. It is so relaxing on the farm, with horses in the background, deer nearby and the sound of crickets in the evening. All this hidden only a 2 minute drive to lake Skaha. We enjoyed the large pool with many pool toys and watching the sunset from the hot tub. The straw bale house is fully stocked with everything you need. It is incredibly clean and makes you feel you are in Italy! Colleen is only a text away if you need anything and had a wonderful treat waiting for us in our room upon arrival. Hope I haven’t raved too much as we want to come back next year!

Fabulous Stay near Penticton
We LOVED this property to stay in while exploring around Penticton. It literally felt like we were in a Tuscan villa. We loved the surrounding farm scape (garden, horses, gorgeous trees and flowers), the pool, the straw bale house. It was quite magical. I was there with my husband and 8 year-old son and we just enjoyed spending hours at the pool, chilling out, reading, playing games and watching movies. Although there was not a full kitchen, it was totally adequate for us to cook a couple meals on the bbq and have simple breakfasts. We happened to be there on a couple of hot days and there is no air conditioning, but we still slept well as there is good air flow in the night. The hosts were so lovely and responsive. They have created a magical space!

Feels like Tuscany
Charming little guest house with all the touches to make you feel like you've escaped to a little village in Europe. Vineyards, sunflowers, horses, fruit trees - a beautiful oasis. Wonderful hosts, gorgeous pool, and a view of the lake. A fabulous getaway close to bike trails, wineries, and a number of warm lakes.
