We had a wonderful stay at the boathouse. The location was exceptional providing us the opportunity for some beautiful views, great walks right outside our door, immediate access to the lake, and a quick walk (15 - 20 mins) to downtown. Communication with our host was excellent. The property was immaculate and very well appointed. We really appreciated the dog friendly space and extra attention given to our four legged family member, including a comprehensive list of pet friendly breweries which we certainly availed ourselves. The access to paddle boards, kayaks and bikes was very much appreciated. As the fall weather in Kelowna was beautiful, we spent much of our time on the rooftop patio enjoying the fire table well into the evening. If you are fortunate enough to find availability at the boathouse, do not hesitate. You will not be disappointed.

A slice of paradise

This is definitely one of my favourite places I’ve stayed in the Okanagan. Literally such a gem, this place has everything you could possibly want/need. The lake is right outside the front door and there are plenty of watercraft to borrow to enjoy the lake. The space is super comfortable and stylishly decorated. Perhaps the best part is the deck right off the bedroom where you can take in the incredible view and get cozy by the fire table. 10/10 stay, truly a privilege to stay at the boat house!

Very nice home right across from the water. Everything was wonderful. The only thing to mention is that the little sleeping front room on the front door level - gets very hot when it’s in the 30s. They need an AC unit of some kind, maybe even a window AC unit.

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!!
