Property was as expected. Be sure to read other reviews. Worked out great as we were only 2 couples so we stayed in 3rd floor master and they stayed on lowest level as wood floors are quite squeaky, which we knew going in. Great location for our getaway with friends!

The property itself was fine, but in the photos the owners purposely cut out the severely damaged dock system directly in front of the property. You are unable to swim safely and have to go 100 feet in either direction to avoid swimming through a serious hazard (broken wood, nails, screws, etc..)
We had small children and teens with us and this was a massive inconvenience and was not disclosed at the time of the booking nor can it be found anywhere on the listing.
It is totally wrong of the owners to not disclose a hazard like that.

Property is as advertised. The communal dock was under repair while we were there (August 2021) so it should be in great condition for future renters once completed. If you are travelling with a boat it is a great option as the mooring buoy is well positioned and worked well. The trailer storage lot is just a few meters north of the main entrance to the property across the road. If you have a boat, I would suggest pulling off the main road into the pullout right before the main entrance upon initial arrival and walk to the cabin to retrieve the key for the storage lot first. I would recommend using the provincial boat launch at Fintry and not the one at Okanagan resort as it is terrible (very steep with lots of rocks). On the water fuel is available at Okanagan resort however so that is super convenient as it is only a few minute boat ride away. Owners were very attentive to any questions and were very easy to contact. Due to safety concerns with the evolving wildfire situation, we had to unfortunately leave early. The owners were very understanding and accommodating. They agreed to provide a partial refund due to the situation which was great. I would not hesitate to rent this property again!

This is a nice well-equipped cottage with a lovely outlook. The kitchen has everything we needed and the beds were comfy.
The cottage has quaint but squeaky flooring - beware light sleepers! The weather was cold and rainy so we didn’t get to use the decks but they looked fabulous!
Unfortunately, the docks are under construction which meant limited parking, noisy construction and no swimming. They were still taking the docks apart when we were there so I expect it will be this way for awhile!
On the plus side Lisa and Dave were very helpful and understanding.
So, not a 5 star but lovely.

Have been to this property many times over the years and love bringing different family and friends to enjoy its beauty.
Kitchen always has the basics needed. Plenty of towels and bathroom supplies to go around.
Access to the lake is unbeatable!
Hosts are always reachable and so friendly.
Highly recommend for a family or friends trip!

Our group had an ok stay at this cottage, but a number of things kept it from being great. Of note:
- The decks require some maintenance. There are spots where vegetation (some with thorns) was seriously growing through the decks, and the solar lighting on the stairs was not working. This made going up the deck stairs at night quite daunting.
- There are many photos on this listing that are out of date. The photo with the wooden dining table, the photo of the green bedroom with grey bedspread, and the photo of the striped living room chairs are either not of this unit, or are old photos from before the rooms were updated. These photos make it appear that there are extra bedrooms or living spaces that the unit doesn’t actually have, making the house seem larger than it actually is.
- The dock was under construction during our stay. We were not notified that there would be construction noises throughout the weekdays, which was 2 of 3 of the days we had booked. Loud drilling and banging made conversations on the outside decks impossible.
- The sofa bed is very uncomfortable for sleeping, and even sitting on it as a couch wasn’t great.
The location is nice, right on the lake, but the unit requires some maintenance and the listing needs to be updated, as transparency is very important when booking a vacation rental.

Lovely setting with chilaxing vibes set in beautiful lakeside lapping waters. Serenity.
++ stairs, not for the immobile!
++ squeaky floor boards which you hear anytime a person moves around. Basics supplied missing a few items. But aspect made up for the enjoyment.
Closely set would be different if busy. Owner replied instantly when we couldn’t get wifi connected. Helpful and easy to communicate with.
