Comfortable Suite
The suite and its bedrooms are very roomy and clean which made our stay comfortable. We would have liked to have our own thermostat because it was a little too warm during the night. We really appreciated the breakfast provided as there was plenty of pastries, juice, coffee, tea and hot chocolate for the week for our family! Unfortunately, I didn't read all the detail and missed that there was no kitchen or BBQ, (yeah! I had a week off from cooking) but it meant eating out and we were able to cook the food we brought at our friend's place. Thank you for all the little extras, that was very thoughtful!

It was a perfect spot for 6 adults.
It was a great suite for 6 adults. The hosts were very good. Ken left pastries and fruit in suite for us, quick to answer questions and needs. We also went sailing with him on the lake in the early evening. great experience. We would definitely consider another stay here. thank you again

2 Night Stay
We were very happy with our stay. The home was very clean and had plenty of room for our group of 5. Shirley and her husband were very nice to greet us with a couple boxes of sweets upon our arrival and were very prompt to answer any questions we had. Overall, I would definitely reccomrend staying here.

Friends Weekend Away
We stayed at Ken and Shirley’s for two nights while we were in town for a Triathlon. The suite is beautiful and really comfortable. It was really hot that weekend and the AC was a blessing. It also backs onto a little putting course and creek. Really nice! We also used the hot tub, despite the heat, to help heal our sore muscles. Ken was super hospitable and offered to take us out on the sailboat. We didn’t get a chance this time so we will have to come back again. Highly recommend!

We are a band of 4 plus one spouse, and the accommodations were perfection! After two outdoor performances in two days, Lou still had to play the piano in the room as we sang along to the standards. Bliss, and Ken and Shirley are dream hosts!

Beautiful basement suite ideal for a base for exploring the area. Hosts were helpful for any needs and the actual rooms were comfy and clean. The only downside was a lack of a kitchenette which would have made it perfect.

Exactly what we needed!
We were looking for a home base and that's exactly what we got. Ken and Shirley were lovely people, and there place is exactly as its shown on the listing. It does not have a kitchen , but that didn't matter to us as we planned to go out for our dinners, and there was a small fridge so we were able to bring stuff for lunch! We were close to everything, and suggest this place for your next osoyoos stay!

The hosts, Shirley and Ken, are very friendly and thoughtful. The walk out basement is beautifully appointed with a much appreciated mini fridge and freezer stocked with ice cube trays, water bottles and juice boxes. There is also a water cooler and a keurig coffee machine. Very comfortable beds in the 3 bedrooms. A lovely patio with table, chairs and a hot tub. We really enjoyed our stay!

Great Osoyoos Getaway
Our two night stay in this suite was great! It was very clean and spacious. We enjoyed the back patio and hot tub. Check in instructions were great and we were welcomed by Ken upon arrival. After hearing we were biking Ken rushed out and picked up a trail guide at the local bike shop. Although there was no kitchenette there was coffee, hot water, bottled water and juice. We highly recommend!

Definitely a HOME away from home!
This lovely space is filled with so many additions to make your stay comfortable and memorable. Things like throw blankets and beautiful big mugs for your morning coffee (finally ...they are usually so small in these stays!). Five or six different areas outside to sit and look over the land beginning with the sweet pond and a rocking' weeping willow and in the background, the rolling hills of the Osoyoos region Comfy beds and high quality furnishings and accoutrements. The hosts are kind and helpful and will give you privacy, while also being available to assist with any needs. Lovely offering....thank you, Lori. Challamar and Joannie

Amazing Accommodations
The home was spotless and we were very comfortable. Ken and Shirley were amazing hosts who went out of their way to make sure we were confortable and yet they were not intrusive of our space. I recommend the sailing trip as presented on their booking page. Ken and Shirley made sure we were safe and had everything we needed to enjoy the lake tour. Ken is a very experienced Sailor. Arrived as strangers, left as friends. Definitely be back ! Thanks !

Beautiful!!! Will go back!
Myself and three other women decided to go on a Road Trip. We threw in Osoyoos as a 2 night stop over. Once we got to Shirley's place, we were wishing we booked 3 nights! It was perfect in every way. Gorgeous covered deck, hot tub, and a big cozy living room. The Melaluca products were an added bonus!! There was no kitchen to speak of (kureig coffee maker, fridge and water dispenser) but this saves on the cost of the place, which we liked very much! Excellent stay. Lov3d every minute of it!!
