Great location! Beautiful place. Very clean and tidy.
My family and I have been coming to the shuswap area each summer for the last 10 years and this has been handsdown our favorite stay. The area is quietly tucked away with a beautiful waterful within walking distance, pool, kids play area all tucked within a lush property. The location is right across the beach which was amazing for my family all close to everywhere that we needed to shop at and visit.
The home itself is beautifully appointed with a vaulted ceiling and fully stocked kitchen for us to prepare all our meals. Large tv screen with the fireplace was an added bonus to wind down to. Everything was clean and looked new. We enjoyed coffees on the outdoor patio when it rained which we were sheltered by the extended roof. Terry was a wonderful host, easy to get ahold of when we needed anything including buying some firewood to have a campfire one night :)
I cant recommend this place enough!

Very accommodating owners. Close to boat launch and lake. Space to park your boat. Short drive into Sicamous.
Our two days here were wonderful. The lodge is large and modern and clean. The lake is just across the street and there’s a pool everything you could want for your comfort.
Terry Sasani was the loveliest host I think my husband and I have ever met !! He was there whenever you needed!! We will 1000 % be back
