Lakeside Retreat
Nestled at the base of Knox Mountain and on a lakeshore drive is The Boat House. It is abundantly evident that Vivien and Paul have put a lot of time, care and effort into providing a relaxing retreat. The home is located so that guests can enjoy the natural landscape with the park and tennis courts close by, while also being within walking and driving distance of urban amenities. There was a kayak, canoe, bikes, two separate decks and little extras in the unit to ensure that our pup’s stay was also comfortable. Having a king bed and a bathroom with a large shower and soaker tub was a bonus. The hosts were attentive and checked in, but were not intrusive. The needs of their guests are important to them and we’re happy to recommend The Boat House to those travelling to Kelowna to absorb some quality time in the Okanagan.

Retreat
The Boat House was a beautiful retreat with everything one could want. The location on the lake and close to Knox Mountain & the cultural district was so convenient.
The place itself had lots of stairs but provides a great separation if there are two couples or a group of friends. The patio was spectacular.
Vivienne has decorated the place with the nautical theme and has not missed anything.
I will definitely stay here again.

Great Location and Beautiful Rental!
Paul and Vivien are wonderful hosts and the rental is all you could ask for! Beautiful location overlooking the lake and in fact right across from the lake. It is a lovely area to walk and walk your dog! The location is extremely convenient as it is just minutes from downtown Kelowna. I would highly recommend!!
