Great location and amenities. The owners were very accommodating and answered any of my questions quickly. The only issues we had was that the unit is starting to show its age (water marks in the downstairs bathroom and kitchen cupboards banged up) and the cleanliness could have been better. Other than that we had an amazing time.

Wonderful place for the whole family.
So much space and close to the beautiful beach.

Hi Mark and Tania,
We had a great time! I wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible time we had at your beautiful lakefront home. Our stay was absolutely delightful, and we couldn't have asked for a better place for our growing family to enjoy. The location was perfect, the house had everything we needed in the kitchen, covered deck spaces, bedding was so lovely, and the presence of air conditioning made our stay even more comfortable during the warmer days.
The spacious layout of your home provided us with the ideal setting to enjoy meaningful conversations and share memorable meals together. We also were delighted and surprised with the water toys for the kids at the beach. The kayaks and tubes gave us hours of pleasure. Sad that the main pool cover was damaged the night we arrived and closed for repairs for the week, but no big deal.
Once again, thank you, we feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to create cherished memories at your place.

Loved this house with everything you would ever need. Next time perhaps we will rent the other unit without the pool table and a larger deck, since we had little ones this time, but it was wonderful, and also appreciate the 5 day stay .

Loved this community. Safe for kids, clean and well kept, great recreation area, really nice beach area, safe slips for boats where you don’t have to worry about wind storms. Easy boat ride to town and not too far by car. Close to vineyards. Lots to offer.

Clean, decorated with comfort and style in mind. Full sun upper patio and shaded lower! Access to beach is 150m, the whole development is pristine and clean!
The house is stocked so well with all appliances and things you would need, just show up with your bathing suit!
We will return :)

The property was brilliant for multiple families, we stayed there with 2 families but could easily accommodate 3. The house was well stocked, had lovely views and was just perfect for hanging out in an evening. Very short walk to play park and swimming pool. Would definitely recommend.

The house was clean and comfortable. Nice to have decks both up and down. The hot-tub is at the club-house, which is about a 5 minute walk - all well maintained. House itself could use a few upgrades, notably a better dishwasher and coffee maker. Dishes were problematical and some of the plates/ cups were stained or dirty. That said, it was very well equipped and entirely adequate.

Enjoyed a wonderful week at this cottage with another couple. Lots of room for everyone. Peaceful mornings sipping our coffees on the upper porch . Days spent hiking, biking, wine tasting, swimming and dinners out. Very convenient location to stay while exploring the Okanagan Valley.
Lots to do and we look forward to coming back next year.

Our group of 7 adults and 5 kids fit comfortably. Steps from the lake which was great with the kids. The kids loved the pool table, backyard hammock and stock of board games. Plenty of water toys to use at the lake. Owners friendly and very responsive. Would highly recommend!

We stayed at the Osoyoos Cottages three years in a row and just love it there. The location is central to everything: wineries, golf and the towns. This particular unit has one of the best locations within the development. Lakefront views and steps to the beach.

Very comfortable home with a lovely view. Short walk to the beach and pool. Having the use of garage to store blowup floaties for the lake was ideal. 2nd fridge in garage was great for beverages. Kayak use was a nice option for adults. Kids enjoyed the scooters. Wine tastings a short drive up the road. Home owners Mark & Tania were quick to respond to any questions prior to our arrival.

Well stocked kitchen. Lots of space. We were very relieved that the air conditioning worked well as it was extremely hot for our entire week! Appreciated the wagon, folding chairs.
Some complaints about downstairs shower not draining well and beds squeaky and poor support. Lovely master suite.

Mark's place is lovely Right on the lake with lovely views and a short walk to the beach and the pool. It is perfect for a family get away and Mark is generous and helpful. It is beautifully equipped and the lay out is great for sharing with another family. Great little wineries near by - loved Stoneboat and loved the Niqmip Desert Cultural Centre. I would highly recommend it for a family stay

Our stay at cottage was great. We especially liked the banquette that allowed so many of us to sit and enjoy playing games every evening. Mark and Tania were super hosts and communication was quick and we had everything we needed.

This is our goto spot for Osoyoos. It’s one of the nicest homes in the entire development and priced better than non-waterfront units.
The place is well equipped and spotless. Highly recommend this rental!

The cottage was well suited to our family with space for everyone. We loved the proximity to the marina, gorgeous lakefront view of the lake, and the cottage was well equipped with lots of kitchen supplies. Mark was polite and quick to respond to questions. Our only complaint was that it could have been a bit cleaner - the living room and master bedroom rugs were quite soiled, and there were greasy handprints, most noticeably on the master bedroom door. However, we had a wonderful stay!

We just returned from a wonderful stay at this house on Osoyoos Lake. We were very lucky that travel restrictions were lifted in time for our vacation. If you think the pictures are good, then the real thing is even better! A beautiful home with a stunning view of the lake from the living room and deck. A great location in the complex too being a very short walk to the beach and pool. We loved swimming in the lake though since it was refreshing on the super hot days we encountered. The house was very clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. You can tell that the owners love their home. We stayed in the master upstairs and our guests were in the other bedrooms. A gorgeous community, really quiet and a short drive to amazing wineries…Burrowing Owl was only a 5 minute drive away, along with a spectacular new winery called Phantom Creek. The house is located between downtown Osoyoos and Oliver, so really central to everything. The landscaping in the community is just beautiful, it reminded me of Arizona. We would love to stay in this home again and Mark was very responsive to our inquiries and the booking process was super easy. Overall our experience was a 10/10 and we can’t wait until we can go back there again. I would highly recommend booking this lovely home. You will have the time of your life!! Mark and Tania thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with us.

Love this spot and one of the best locations on the resort. Perfect size for the three families we had and the view is killer. So close to the beach and easy walk to the pool. Only complain would be bbq could be bigger and appliances could be updated a bit. No TV in main floor living room but tv downstairs and also in two of the bedrooms. But really if you are there, who wants to watch when you have that view from the deck.

We had three families stay here for five nights and it couldn’t have gone better. The house had more than enough room for everyone and was right next to the boat dock and a minute walk from the beach. The clubhouse and pool were closed due to Covid so Mark went and bought our kids a pool for the yard. Thank you so much for being so accommodating. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
