About this property

Pixie Bay Cottage is located on a quiet road only steps to beach access on Okanagan Lake. Our semi-lakeshore 70's home in Lake Country is conveniently located between Kelowna and Vernon, 15 minutes by car to UBCO Kelowna or Vernon campuses. You would be staying in a private 2 bedroom unit on the ground level of our home. We are only minutes away from other lakes, beaches, parks, wineries, vineyards, golfing , boat launches, restaurants, shops, hiking and biking trails, pickle ball, watercraft rentals and only 10 minutes to the YLW airport. We offer amazing views, an outdoor seating area with bbq and a place to enjoy a peaceful getaway by the lakefront. Enjoy the rich culture and diverse landscapes in this all-season playground. Perfect for endless activity and exploring or for a quiet getaway from a busy life. It's your time, so enjoy it your way.

The Cottage Unit
We have newly renovated the ground level of our 70's house in a Modern Beach style. We are excited to welcome guests to share the serenity and views from our year-round cottage home.

You will have exclusive access to the unit by way of the front entrance. The Lakeside Room has a queen bed, beautiful picture window view of the lake, mountains and blue skies. The Driftwood Room has a queen bed and a quiet relaxed by-the-lake feel. Both beds are extremely comfortable with luxurious cotton bedding and with memory foam mattresses infused with green tea extract providing a calm sensation for a rejuvenating sleep.

The main living area has a love seat, dining table and chairs and a kitchen that is outfitted with all your basic appliances and amenities. Enjoy your meals indoors or have a bbq and eat outside where you can enjoy a beautiful Okanagan sunset and lake views along with a glass of your favourite Okanagan wine. We provide recycling and composting containers for your use to do your part for the environment.

There is one (non-smart) TV's in the unit that includes an AppleTV box for streaming your favourite services. We also include Telus PikTV channel pkg. There is also a DVD player with an assortment of videos to watch. Bring your laptops!

The 3 piece bath has a large shower area. Organic cotton towels and hairdryer is provided. We are trying our best to be eco-friendly and ask that our guests help by minimizing the use of water and by reusing towels during their stay. You will be provided with a few sets of towels for the duration of your stay.

Our home is quiet and peaceful but not without some transfer of daytime activity from upstairs. We installed sound barriers, but it is still a house, so some noises may transfer. We do our best to make sure your quiet enjoyment is not disrupted.

We look forward to having you stay with us soon at Pixie Bay Cottage!

A Hidden Gem on Pixton !

We really enjoyed our stay at the Pixton Cottage it was well equipped with kitchen supplies, dishes and utensils! Our first impression was “wow” so clean, bright, spacious and newly renovated! The girls were so excited to choose a bedroom when they are decorated so beautifully with such a talented artistic touch ! Heidi and Steve were very helpful and live upstairs. The stay was quiet and they respected our privacy but if we needed them by text they responded promptly ! The suite is air conditioned and we were provided extra fans if needed, but the temperature was perfect. The beds have memory foam and were very comfortable so we could get a good rest each night. We will definitely stay again and recommend this cottage to other friends. The cottage is 15 minutes from the Kelowna airport and close to shopping, groceries, gas stations, and restaurants. The cottage is just up the walk way from a tiny public rocky beach access with a log bench for enjoying your morning coffee! Thank you so much to the both of you for sharing a little piece of your Okanagan paradise with others ! This suite is a hidden gem !

Lovely suite

This suite is very clean, nicely decorated and really well appointed. Everything you need for preparing your own meals but close enough to some lovely restaurants if you’d rather not cook. Comfy beds and wonderful linens. Hosts are super accommodating. Thank you Heidi and Steve for the use of Pixie Bay Cottage. We had a lovely time.

Amazing vacation accommodation!!

This was an amazing holiday for our family. We fell more and more in love with it the longer our trip went on! I recommend this as a fantastic area to explore in the Okanagan and a beautiful spot close to many beaches and amenities with out the hustle and bustle. Heidi and Steve are great!

About the host

Hosted by Heidi and Steve

We are Heidi and Steve and it would be a pleasure to welcome you to our little piece of the Okanagan Valley in one of Canada's most popular vacation destinations. We have travelled and lived abroad extensively and appreciate how important it is to ensure our guests are comfortable while staying with us. We love to meet new people and would be happy to spend some time getting to know you, but we also appreciate that some folk like their privacy and quiet space. We will take our cue from you as to your preferences. We both speak English and Spanish and Heidi also speaks German.
You will likely meet Inspector Frankie, our well-loved cat who does a great job keeping our property free of intruders. We want to maintain a cat-free zone in your unit for future guests so we ask you not invite him in. As his name suggests, he is curious and may even jump into your car without your consent. He isn't the cuddly type, but will say hello and welcome you in his own way.

Why they chose this property

We have a hard time leaving the Okanagan ourselves for vacation, because this is the place we would want to come to for our vacation! We love the weather and the scenery and we love our 70's cottage. We fell in love with the view and bought the house for the that reason and the access to Okanagan Lake. Now that our children have moved on, we are excited to share this place with our guests at Pixie Bay Cottage. We look forward to making their stay as comfortable as possible.

What makes this property unique

Year round you will enjoy spectacular views, sunsets, sun-showers over the lake, stargazing on clear nights, birds singing, peaceful evenings, tranquil mornings, waves lapping the shore and walks along the water. In the summers enjoy refreshing dips in the lake and the short drive and easy access to world class wineries, restaurants, golf courses, hiking trails, biking trails and many other activities and amenities. In the winters you can access skiing at any of the local resorts: Silver Star (45 min.), Crystal Mtn. or Big White (60 min.) For snowmobilers explore Graystokes Park or the Monashees near Sicamous. Winter enthusiasts will also enjoy many other activities like X-country skiing, ice fishing, ice skating.
