Ok Whistle Stop is a lovely B&B with spacious rooms that accommodate up to six people. They have a lovely view of the lake, are well located and serve a delicious (European style) homemade breakfast. The owners are helpful and friendly and operate a safe and quiet property.

Our stay was wonderful and we loved the accommodations. Our original booking at another B&B was canceled near midnight, the night before we were to arrive, and Kirsten was amazing in helping us secure a room and making our trip memorable. You are right in the heart of Naramata and the wine tours, and Penticton is a short drive away so the location is superior. You are on the side of the water, not across the busy road, so the views are spectacular. The beds were comfortable, the rooms were clean, and the food was fantastic! We will return.

We had a wonderful stay here, beautiful location on the Naramata Bench, close to many wineries and the KVR trail, and bonus, the property had bikes for us to rent. The unit is very spacious, quiet, and the bathrooms look newly renovated. Breakfast each morning had a very generous and delicious spread - we really enjoyed the emphasis on local foods. Thank you for hosting our stay!

I really liked the location and the grounds the property was located on. The suite was a good size and had comfy beds and very clean. What I didn't like was that I had to pay a steep fee for 1 extra child to be with us. and by steep I mean an extra $360 for 2 nights for 1 kid.

Thank you for enjoying your stay with us. Regarding the additional costs, I would like to clarify the following. We have a basic price for an occupancy with 2 people, for each additional person will be accordingly additional costs. I have communicated this to you before your booking and in your case there were 3 children and not just one.

The location was great for visiting the Naramata Bench and Penticton/Summerland area. Close to wineries and restaurants. The hosts were great and operate the property in a manner similar to German Guesthouses. Our suite was clean but quite basic for the value. Amenities were adequate. We really enjoyed the European style breakfast on the outdoor deck.

Overall, my partner and I had a great time at OK Whistle Stop. The breakfast was delicious and plenty, the suite is spacious and well-equiped (loved the shower), the area is quiet and beautiful. The owner couple are the nicest and most friendly, but they respect our privacy. I will definitely come back hopefully in the near future!

Nice location, vastly overpriced for a house
Pros: lovely location, well kept rooms, good breakfast Cons: This is a house run by a husband and wife, complete with children running around and using their bikes - which charges top hotel style prices as if it were a leading hotel. It’s not. Its attitude to customers sometimes feels slightly passive aggressive. A number of rude communications in the room threatening a charge for this or that. And a copy of the relevant criminal legislation. As if customers were potential criminals. There is a swimming pool. On arrival we were told it was infested by wasps. It has a messy frontage outside the main building which needs tidying At points during our stay the hot water in the building ran out. The male owner who I and other guests who I spoke to found rude advised that this should be expected as lots of people were using the facilities at the same time. This is not what I expect given the prices charged.. You hire their suite but despite the excessive prices they charge a linen fee for using more than one bed. Again this feels excessive given the prices they charge anyway

Little Gem with a Personal Touch
We booked the Berlin Suite for a group of 5 (2 couples, 1 single) to be close to the wineries. In fact, the B&B is located in the midst of many vineyards such that the first tasting was only 5 minutes away. The city center and beach is only a short ride away (5-10 min by car). If you cannot make it to the beach you can just jump into the pool which was actually bigger than expected. The balcony provides an excellent view of the lake - to relax in the evenings or to just watch the sunset. The rooms were spacious and very clean and in general very comfortable. Everything that you would look for. The best features are definitely the hosts and their breakfast. Kerstin and Oliver are very friendly and make sure that you everything is to your needs. They will always take the time to have a solid conversation with you which will give your stay a personal feel. The breakfast was a typical German breakfast with freshly made bread and spread, lovely garnished fruit plates, and daily varying German specialties (e.g. Weisswurst, cold cuts, etc.). I just could not get enough of it. In short: I will highly recommend this B&B to any of my friend who is looking to stay in the Penticton area.
