Nice and quiet
Lovely place to stay, was near a race start/finish so was perfect location for us. Responsive, friendly host (they also do wine tours if that's your thing). Comfortable, clean, gorgeous location.

Large home in tranquil location.
Pictures don’t do it justice, the space was much larger than expected and extremely homely and comfortable. The garden surrounding the home is beautiful and the hiking trails nearby are amazing. The hot tub was great. The host was very pleasant and considerate. I highly recommend booking a wine tour with them also!

Amazing stay and great memories
The place was very spacious, clean, comfortable and perfect for our group. Our hosts were great with their communication and helpfulness. There are lots of trails around the property and it is close to Myra Canyon. Would love to go back.

2-night Stay in Kelowna
The property was quite nice and remote. It was also close to my favourite distillery - Wise Acres! However, we were extremely disappointed that there was no kitchen - not even a sink. Only a tiny kitchenette with dishes. For the price we paid, I would have expected a full kitchen. Also, it is almost a fully in-ground suite so is quite dark, but does have lots of lighting. The smell of marijuana floating in at times was also note pleasant. We will look for another spot next year.

The property was amazing. Just out of town and a perfect get away! The space was well appointed with everything we would need, and you could not ask for better hosts. The wine tour and service was exceptional and made our weekend the perfect getaway! Thank you for everything. We will be back!

Amazing place!
Such a spacious suite in a gorgeous location! The beds, sofas and chairs were super comfy—and there was a basket of extras throws to snuggle up with in the evening in front of the fire and HUGE TV. We loved playing pool by the cute bistro table (what an awesome idea for a lighting fixture!). Krista provided much useful information about the area and answered all questions that came up quickly; she even reminded us that she could wash our dishes during the stay as there isn't a sink in the kitchen. I'd love to stay there again!

This was a very comfortable place to make as our home base while we explored the Okanagan area. Walking trails are accessible right outside of the driveway. We especially enjoyed getting to meet the day old chicks the owners received during our stay.

We had a great stay at this property after our kettle valley bike trip.
The host was super helpful with lots of suggestions for food and activities. We had a nice walk on the trails that were just across the street. It was very quiet and peacuful and a great place to relax. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Little getaway
This was a lovely big two bedroom. Home away from home on the outskirts of Kelowna., a close drive to downtown and the Vineyards. We didn’t expect the apartment to be so big. It worked well for our group off4 as we had a pool table to amuse us and a hot tub outside. The host was sweet, provided everything we needed, and gave us useful recommendations Fort places to visit and eat. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, although it was a little too short to see all the things our host recommended. Another visit is a must.

Should have stayed Longer
We enjoyed our stay here, stayed for 3 nights and skiied for 2 days. So we didn't really have a chance to enjoy the area and neighborhood, since it was dark when we returned from the hill. More than enough room, super clean, lots of extras, delicious fresh baked muffins too! Would like to come back sometime in the summer to enjoy Myra Park. The drive to the ski hill was long, since the property is a little out of the way, but that is part of the charm in a way, lovely area.

Welcoming and spacious
We loved this family’s lower suite! It was the perfect fit for us with our planned activities of biking and wine tasting in the Kelowna area. Krista is a very warm and welcoming host and gave us llots of good information and tips about the area. We also had plenty of privacy and could easily come and go as needed. Extra bonuses for us were the spacious and clean suite, hot tub and pool table. Krista went above and beyond and gave us a ride to the KVR trail head with our bikes, and left us a complimentary bottle of wine! Thanks for the lovely experience!

Birthday getaway
4 of us had an amazing time. Checked out the distillery for free drinks, the honey wine tasting was good. Enjoyed the hot tub with the duck. We named him Bob and Howard lol. The house was super spacious, nice big tv, bathroom was big enough for us ladies to do our hair/makeup. Rooms were nicely separated from one another. The free wine Krista left for us, was sooo yummy and I’m not a wine drinker. I loved how the house was far from town, so quiet and secluded. Will definitely stay there again.

A nature getaway in a beautiful, lake and mountains country.
What a week to remember. It’s always tough to find the perfect way to celebrate a momentous occasion, but after spending it here on such a beautiful property surrounded by nature, animals, and endless activities in reach, we certainly were not left disappointed. Welcomed with incredible hospitality, nights around the fire and in the hot tub, we certainly would recommend and can’t wait to return for future getaways.

Great space, with wonderful amenities. The accommodation is clean, provides ample space, plenty comfort in the sitting area, and the pool tables is a cherry on top. A fire as the sun goes down, followed by a hot-tub under the stars - perfection. Krista was wonderfully helpful when needed, but otherwise left us to our own. Highly recommended.

Christmas at Myra Adventure Home
I booked this VRBO over the Christmas holidays for my daughter, her husband and their three teenagers from the U.K. We have limited space and as we had other family staying, I thought this arrangement would work. Although the VRBO doesn't have a stove or sink, the rest of the facilities were excellent and Krista made sure that the family was well provided for. The arrangement worked out exceptionally well as most of the time they were with us or out enjoying the winter activities. One evening, we all sat around outside at the firepit where there was an endless supply of logs, stories and laughter in the snow...wonderful! The home is spacious, warm, and very comfortable and Krista was a great Hostess!

This place was perfect for us because it was so close to Myra canyon. We were able to wash up immediately after 4 hours of biking then enjoy our dine out at a nearby winery. Great amenities(we couldn't take advantage of them all!). Krista was a very welcoming host and it's a bonus some simple breakfast were prepared for us.

We totally enjoyed our stay in Kelowna. We fell in love with Kelowna, and because of the location we were able to see a lot of Kelowna. Lots to do all over the city and country. The home was stocked and the care takers were very pleasant and hospitable to us, nice little touches like fresh fruit and a yummy bottle of wine!

Loved our stay in this comfortable and spacious suite.

Excellent Apartment & Great Location
Outstanding trip to Kelowna area that included biking and golfing for my brother and I. Excellent location, and this basement apartment was perfect for us. Krista and Rod live upstairs on the property and were there to welcome us and show us around. They are a pleasure to deal with, were very helpful in all aspects, as well as giving us our privacy. We really appreciated the breakfast provided the first morning we stayed, a very nice touch. The apartment was in immaculate condition. Clearly very well kept. It is difficult for pictures to reflect how large and spacious all the rooms are, especially the bedrooms. The beds and mattresses were new and very comfortable. The heated floor in the bathroom is a real plus to be enjoyed after a shower. Be aware of the kitchenette facilities , there is no stove or oven. However there is a BBQ available for grilling, a microwave, and a toaster for morning breakfasts. Although no kitchen sink, dirty dishes are set aside with Krista collecting and cleaning the next day. We knew this upon renting, good to be prepared for this. Location is ideal if you want to be out of the busy city and traffic, yet close enough to Kelowna that it is only a few minutes in to town. Only 6 minutes to Galllagher's Canyon golf course, which we would highly recommend for both golf and dinner. Many excellent biking trails close by. including the Myra Canyon Park, Mission Creek Greenway, and our favourite being the Okanagan Rail Trail from Kelowna to Vernon. We had expensive e-bikes which Krista allowed us to store in their garage when not using them. Hoping to do this trip on a yearly basis. We would absolutely rent this apartment again. I highly recommend it for anyone staying in the Kelowna area. Thanks Krista and Rod for all your hospitality. We totally enjoyed our stay.
