Lovely little property
Family of 4 with 2 under 9. The house was very cute and very clean. More spacious than we had thought it would be. Amazing view of the lake! The host checked in on us through out our stay and was a pleasure to deal with. The girls loved going down to the lake to use the aqua park. Definitely need water shoes though as it’s quite rocky. The ice cream shop was also a big hit. The girls had a great time and we look forward to coming back hopefully next summer.

Thank you for staying with us. It truly sounds like you had the perfect holiday to me. Clean and tidy cottage, great amenities for the kids and truly the hottest days in Kelowna. Perfect to go for that well deserved swim in the lake. Until next time, take good care, and enjoy the rest of your summer. Sincerely, L and J.

Great Stay Beautiful Views
The home was well equip with all needed for your stay. The views were breathtaking . The Homeowner was really good with communicating with us and keeping us up to date on important information pertaining to our stay. I wish the resort had a few areas in the lopes for parking golf carts as it was a bit tight. All in all everything was perfect. Thanks

Thank you so much for your positive 5* review and feedback. Yes, parking can be a little challenging at times. We are lucky to have a driveway that can accommodate two small cars. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found the cottage had all that you needed. You were wonderful guests, and you are most welcome to come back any time. Until next time, please take good care. Sincerely, L & J

Amazing deck and views
The home was a gem with all the comforts of home and amazing lake views from the large deck. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and the ability to walk to the pool, store and pickleball courts. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. The only small negative was that the AC seemed a bit overburdened for the size of the house. The main floor was nice and cool but the upstairs bedrooms were a bit warm.

We would like to thank you for being such great guests and we would certainly welcome you back any time. Take care and enjoy the rest of your summer. L. & J.

Bella Cottage - July 2023 - 5*
Property was great! La Casa is amazing for families and once you are there, no reason to leave. Kids love the lake trampolines, pools and mini golf. Host Lina was great to deal with, checked in to ensure all was good and very quick to respond. Bella Cottage has an amazing view of the lake and a beautiful green space next to it that our kids loved to play on in the evenings. Perfect for a family of 4 (kids to share one bed). 2nd time for our family at La Casa Resort and 1st to Bella Cottage. Had a great time, highly recommend. Only suggestion would be a cabinet or some shelving in the dining area to put your non perishable groceries away for the week, no room in the cupboards at all. Great property - Would Rate 5 Stars

We appreciate such a positive review, as we try to be attentive to our guests needs. Thank you again for taking the time to write, we do appreciate the feedback.

Perfect and Memorable
What a beautiful place to stay. The space is clean, a short walk to the pool, and has a mesmerizing view. Lina was always just a quick message away. She provided a little more than basic spices and condiments in the kitchen which was helpful. The beds are very comfortable. I would recommend that you stay here in a heartbeat.

Stayed for a wedding
We were there for a wedding at the beginning of June, weather was fabulous- which always helps. Bedrooms were both upstairs, regulating some comfort for sleeping at night was a bit of a challenge- air conditioning not as strong on upper floor and the airflow when leaving windows open was a challenge as well. The resort is totally on the side of a mountain, so if you are not able to climb hills, you will be limited as the rental of a golf cart is very expensive. The walk to and from the pool, store and restaurant is easy, but if you have issues harder to walk toLa Casa, where our event was held. (Bear in mind, we are in our late 60’s, one of us with a knee issue). The beach is totally out of the question!!! but you can drive there and lots of parking at that time of year. The cabin was very clean and our hosts were extremely easy to deal with and always answered us promptly. It was a lovely little cabin with a fabulous view and all the amenities.

Thank you for your detailed response. Glad you found the cottage clean and tidy and as comfortable as possible. At times with the heat waves we are experiencing in BC the air conditioning is a little challenging on the upper floor, but we do have fans for help with the circulation. It’s is a resort that is situated on the hill side therefore the views are fantastic of the lake. We were in constant communication with your husband and I believed things were all good. Too bad we did not receive a 5* rating from you since we were checking in with you for most of your stay. We understood that the family had a lovely time at the pool and the Wedding at the resort was beautiful. Again we appreciate your feedback back and we hope that you enjoy the rest of your summer.

Quiet Getaway with Wonderful Views!
My friend and I visited in June and Bella Cottage was immaculate and very well organized when we arrived. We very much enjoyed sipping our morning coffee, listening to the birds and enjoying the view. The bed in the Master Bedroom was very comfortable. The loft bed was smaller and a little less comfortable, probably better suited for kids. It was lovely having access to 2 full bathrooms. Keep in mind how far out of Kelowna you are at this location. If you are looking for a quiet getaway, this is the place, but if you want to be close to the restaurants and shops, a different choice might be better. For us, the benefit to being outside the city was the peacefulness, and the wildlife. We saw marmots or groundhogs every morning, a bear on the bank behind the cottage one morning and big horned sheep on the twisty road into town. Lina and John are attentive hosts who are always available to help out with any questions or concerns.

Thank you Lina for allowing us to stay in your lovely cottage. The house was well stocked with everything we needed to relax and enjoy a much needed getaway! The house was very clean, well stocked in everything we could want, from cooking utensils to games and DVDs, with a great vantage point from the deck. The pool and hot tubs were clean and never too busy. Our only setback was the smoke: we could not even see the opposite shore of the lake! But, the weather is not on you, and when we arrived the windows were closed, and the air inside the cottage was much better than outside. So, we would recommend this rental for anyone looking for a beautiful, cozy, modern cottage in the Okanagan.

Everything was as listed, clean and pleasant. My only suggestion would be to change check in time to 3 so that the strata office would still be open. We had an incorrect gate code that they quickly updated for us when we picked up our amenities pass. Had the office been closed we would have had a challenge and potential delays. Thanks for a carefree getaway with a comfortable cottage and great views of the lake.

Thank you so much for your positive feedback. So happy you and your friends had a wonderful stay at our clean and cosy cottage. Just wanted to mention that the Strata office is open 8:30-4 pm., seven days a week. Our check-in time is at 4 pm, which works well for our cleaning staff. Most guests usually go to the office by 3:30 pm to get their amenities pass and then head straight to our cottage for a 4 pm check in. As for the confusion with the gate code, I do apologize, it was my mistake. Glade it all worked itself out at the Strata office, and they gave you the correct code. I also have my maintenance person on site who would have been able to assist you. I also can always be reached by phone, email or text message. Having said this, thank you again for choosing Bella Cottage and hoping you will think of us again for any future holiday stays to the Okanagan Valley. Until next time, our best regards to you.

A tranquil and ideal setting for a nice quiet get away. We enjoyed the cottage amenities and hope to take advantage of all the resort has to offer (weather permitting) sometime in the not too distant future. Ed and Bernadette

Quaint cottage with all the comforts of home!!
Despite the smokey air that laid heavy all week we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bella Cottage. It had all the comforts of home with a beautiful view. Easy access to the beach area and water front made our paddle boarding and kayaking very enjoyable. There were some warm days so the air conditioning was very welcome. There was a bit of noise from the road construction above the resort but nothing that really bothered us. The Westside road is very twisty, curvey and about 30 min from Kelowna or Vernon so plan your shopping and adventures accordingly. We had a lovely trip to Fintry,at the recommendation of our host and friends, which is super close and saw the beautiful waterfall. Worth a late afternoon visit and then locate the battery boxes to see the bats fly at susnset!! We also headed to Quails Gate winery for a lovely tour and tasting and superb lunch!! It was always nice to come home after our adventures to this peaceful cottage and fire up the bbq for dinner and lounge on the deck. All the cooking utensils and pans are here so cooking is a breeze. La Casa resort had lots of ammenities for families like the pool, tennis courts, kayak and paddle board rentals and water sports at the marina. Our host was easy to contact and answered all of my questions very promptly. I would highly recommend this property and hosts and we hope to return again some day.

Quaint getaway cottage
We were happy to be able to find a quaint little colorful village resort near to where our daughter lives for our visit. Although it was was convenient for us we were very pleased when we arrived to have such a beautiful setting it made it most enjoyable for our stay. Lina and John have a cozy welcoming cottage. It was very comfortable and clean. The books and games are a great idea to have available for optional entertainment. The deck offered a wonderful view and scenery looking over the lake, a great way to start your morning with a coffee and end your day with a glass of wine. We definitely would consider coming back again. Thank you for making our trip a relaxing an pleasant one.

Beautiful Cottage With Stunning Views
Our expectations were exceeded during our stay at Bella Cottage The cottage shows pride of ownership, is well cared for and extremely well supplied. It has an incredible view of the lake and is on a quiet street. Dealing with Lina was an absolute pleasure. She goes above and beyond what we have experienced with other owners from VRBO. We visited the first week of April, and even though the pools and hot tubs were not opened yet, we enjoyed walks along the beaches and trails and the fantastic view from the deck of the cottage. Perfect place to relax and rejuvenate. We highly recommend Bella Cottage and look forward to returning! Thanks Lina and John! Kevin and Cathy Morinville, Alberta

Fabulous Family Fun Getaway
We stayed at the Bella cottage for two amazing weeks. We were plesently surprised when we arrived on how clean the cottage was. We enjoyed the few little extras that were left behind. The location was great, just a few minutes walk to the pool and the view from the deck was fantastic. We also liked the assortment of books, games and movies. We enjoyed the many amenities that La Casa had to offer as well. The pool was by far the favorite spot for the children. Lina and John were great to deal with and were prompt in replying and very friendly. We would definitely book there again. Thanks, The T family

We loved our temporary home away from home!
The house was very clean and well maintained, exactly as it was advertised and how we expected it to be. We found instructions easy to follow and everything worked as described. House has nice size deck with good furniture and BBQ that we used every day during our 8 day stay. Ameneties within the complex like swimming pool and mini golf were good and all Strata staff were very friendly and helpfull. We simply loved this house and would highly recommend it to anyone!!!

Beautiful Cottage with Fantasic Lake views
This cottage could not have been more perfect for our stay. The resort itself has all the amenities you could possibly need. Upon arrival we noticed the cottage was spotless and was very well appointed with what you would need for making your own meals including a supply of coffee and condiments. The deck provides a lovely place for rest and relaxation and has beautiful views of the lake and valley. Lina was an absolutely gracious host and was extremely responsive throughout the entire process. Would definitely recommend this gem to friends and family!!

Wonderful
There's not enough we can say about Bella Cottage, we felt at home the moment we stepped through the front door. The cottage was clean, comfortable and the kitchen well stocked with everything one could need. The patio view is amazing and we had a great time enjoying some of the local wines while taking in the panoramic view. Lina went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for an enjoyable holiday. Our time at Bella was very relaxing and we look forward to booking again next year.

Teriffic Stay
Overall the stay was wonderful, the views from the cottage can't be beat! The cottage is stocked very well with anything you might need for your stay, especially the kitchen which was much appreciated as we ended up cooking several of our meals there. The La Casa resort is so beautiful and well appointed, the grounds and amenities are top notch. This specific cottage is positioned very well in that there are no other cottages directly below it so you have unrestricted lake views. There is a cottage being built right next door though, not sure how long the construction will take but it was noisy during the week (they weren't working on the weekend), which was probably the only downside to the property. I knew the resort was in the middle of nowhere so I was somewhat prepared, but be warned the road in and out is very steep and very narrow and winding. It was a white knuckle journey for sure. Just keep this in mind and stock up so you don't have to go into town, I would not suggest staying here if you are wanting to go out exploring the area everyday. But if you just want to plant yourself somewhere and relax this is most definitely the place for you!

What a wonderful write up about your stay. Sounds like the cottage and resort was perfect in every way. I'm sure that I did mention in my letter to you about the new cottage going up next door. I'm hoping it will be finished by sometime this July. Hoping the construction and the road coming in wasn't the reason you gave us a 4 out of 5 stars. We really do not have much control over these two things. The main thing is that you got to see some beautiful places in B. C. Thank you so much for taking the time to write and hoping you will come back in your future travels when there is no construction right next door. Please take care. Best Regards. LB
