This was a wonderful place to spend with our grandkids and family. Beautiful lake view and close to the beach and reasonably close to the pool. Great amenities and everything you could need in the kitchen including a Keurig coffee maker. Great communication with the host. I would definitely consider renting this again. Thanks!

Wonderful Cottage!

Spectacular waterfront views await you at this fantastic property. We all enjoyed the private beach at the lake and the pool with 2 hot tubs. There is also an abundance of quality wineries to discover very close by. A relaxing vacation all round.

Amazing Stay

This house is amazing, it has everything you need to entertain the whole family. While we didn't have the best weather, we were able to keep the kids all busy with all the games in the house and at the pool (which was heated). We can't wait to plan our next trip already.

Great Rental for a Group

We were a group of friends travelling together for golf and winery visiting. The layout and location of Mark and Tania’s home suited the needs of four couples perfectly. The view from the deck was lovely and The Cottages property is beautiful and immaculately maintained.Thanks so much for sharing your home!

This cottage was beautiful and exceeded our expectations. The pictures aren't able to capture everything the place has to offer. Its the perfect place for a large family, with a fully stocked kitchen and large BBQ, plenty of seating and sleeping space and so many bathrooms. We were a little concerned about the distance from the town, but the amenities and beauty of the place being in a gated community, offsets the short drive. Simply stunning views, and peaceful oasis. Would definitely stay here again.

The cottage was better than we imagined. There was enough room for all 10 of us - 8 adults and 2 children under 6. Very well stocked with basic spices and appliances/dishes/silverware. The beach area was fantastic - the pictures don’t do it justice and it’s only a 3 minute walk from the cottage. We would not hesitate to book this again, and it’s only 15 min to downtown Osoyoos. The owners were very responsive and the home is beautiful - watching the barn swallows fly around was an added bonus!

Exceeds expectations!

House was awesome, kitchen was especially well equipped for our non stop cooking and eating! Layout was great for our multi generational family. Deck was private and view was gorgeous. The Cottages property was amazing, beautifully landscaped and immaculate! And super quiet. Mark & Tania, thanks for sharing !

wonderful

This is our second time as a family renting both houses from Mark and Tania. The view of the lake is amazing. The neighborhood is quiet and the landscaping throughout the development is beautiful. We made good use of the play ground. The houses had plenty of room for 12 guests. The perfect place for family gatherings.

Clean and comfortable

This was a very clean and comfortable stay right on Osoyoos Lake. The cottage was well equipped and spacious for our group of eight, including toddlers, children, adults, and grandparents. We liked the location, just a short walk to the beach. We all really enjoyed the shady lower deck and hammock on hot afternoons. Our kids loved the bunk beds. Thanks for having us.

Great place for family

The place is big and spacious for family with 6 adults and two kids. Great location with a lot of beach toys. Pool table provided evening entertainment. Some appliances not working well. Check out cleaning procedures is a bit more than normally expected.

Perfect family meeting place

We loved our stay here! It was the perfect place to stay so that we could all be together in one place. We took advantage of the golf courses near by, the many wineries around, the pool and hot tub and even the lake. The top things we enjoyed about the Yellow Cottage were the view, the deck, the pool table and the many comfy bedrooms and ample bathrooms. The hosts were very responsive, communications were clear and easy to follow, and we felt that if we had needed to reach out for anything, which we didn’t, they would have been quick to help! We hope to be back!

July 2024 Family Vacation

This was our first stay at The Cottages. Mark was attentive in communicating with us all along the way even when he himself was out of the country. The house was lovely and had everything we needed. Mark even arrived to see if we needed anything. The location is perfect for being close to the beach and a quick walk to the pool and gym. The facilities were great for our kids and grandkids. Everyone had a fantastic time. Thanks Mark and Tania. We really enjoyed our stay at your place.

Great spot for multi family vacation

This place has just about everything you need for a family vacation. Perfect spot, patios overlooking the lake, mountains and marina. It's a short walk to beach, marina and clubhouse. Plenty of extra parking nearby, lots of storage room and 2nd fridge in garage, great house layout with lots of living and lounging space, nice kitchen with plenty of extras. Great communication with Mark, the host, before and during trip. We had a minor issue with plumbing but he had a plumber there the same day I told him that came and fixed the issue. Thanks Mark for providing a great spot for families to make memories for life. Cheers

Great location and layout

This is a beautiful cottage. The layout and location are excellent and it's really a lovely place to stay. Only issue we had was ants. Coming in from the garage and from under the front door seal. Also in the basement. The owner did tell me the previous people had complained about ants as well. There were traps out and some spray (which we didn't want to spray while we were in the home). I contacted the owner and it was suggested we purchase traps and then be reimbursed for them. Honestly when spending this kind of money on a vacation I would hope that the problem would have been rectified by the time we checked in. Also all of the upstairs windows had a ton of bugs in spider webs in the corners. There were liquid splashes of some sort down the wall by the patio doors and our socks when worn were pretty dirty the first day we arrived. I assume a cleaning company comes in and does the service, so I would maybe suggest a chat with them to address these areas. Overall we loved our stay. The bathrooms and kitchen were clean but floors/windows left a bit to be desired.

Hi Susan. We are glad you enjoyed your stay despite the issues you identified. We have informed our cleaner - thank you. Unfortunately ants can arrive suddenly without notice at the Cottages. We will ensure that there is a supply of products to deal with these pests same as we leave out supplies for wasps. Enjoy the rest of your summer and hope to have you back again. Regards, Mark and Tania
