About this property

EXPERIENCE HOPE AT THE STAND EASY RETREAT

Our beautiful little "A" Frame is just a few steps from Kawkawa Lake near Hope, BC. It has just been completely renovated; new flooring throughout, fresh paint, and full bathroom reno. We are a short 90 minute drive from Vancouver where one can completely unplug and enjoy the scenery. There is an abundance of outdoor activities to do around the lake such as; swimming, kayaking, hiking, and more. If you have a boat, there are two different boat launches within a kilometer of the cabin.
In the surrounding area there are numerous adventures to take; Hell's Gate (Google it, it is amazing), Manning Park for summer and winter activities, Harrison Hot Springs, downtown Hope (carving capital of Canada), Othello Tunnels (stunning), many many hikes to take, gold panning in historic Yale, BC, and so much more.
The cabin has two bedrooms on the main level, both with queen sized beds and the loft has a queen bed. There is a full kitchen (minus a dishwasher) with an extra "beer fridge" in the garage. The cabin is set up for inside and outside cooking and eating with huge decks, front and back. The back deck has glass railings, two tables and a BBQ. There are brand new vinyl plank floors inside the cabin and it was freshly painted in 2023.
The backyard boasts a spring fed creek that is absolutely stunning and runs ice cold year round. There is an amazing fire pit area for campfires. In the summer, if there's a burning ban, we also have a portable propane fire pit so you will not go without!
We use the front yard for playing games like croquet, ladder ball and bean bag toss.
If you are adventurous, we have 4 adult kayaks and 2 child kayaks for use as well as a stand up paddle board. It's just a short walk to the launch to put the toys into the water.
In the winter, we are just a 45 minute drive from Manning Park Resort and some amazing downhill powder and some of the best cross country skiing in the world. There is an indoor pool in Hope just five minutes away. You won't be disappointed. Follow us on Instagram @stand.easy.retreat for more photos and videos.

We loved staying here. The cabin is beautiful with everything you could need. The outside space is picture perfect with the mountains in the background, the river babbling through and the amazing decking space. We loved exploring the area from here- especially swimming in the lake. The upstairs bedrooms did get warm but we were able to cool down the rest of the cabin well so this helped.

We absolutely loved our stay!

Everything about this place is wonderful: the location (in Hope but off the "busy street", facing a beautiful mountain face, by the lake, with a babbling brook in the back), the amenities (very clean, they have everything and more that you might need), and the host was great (clear communication).

Lovely outdoor setting

This little cabin was perfect for my cousin and I while in Hope visiting family. We especially loved the well stocked kitchen and the deck overlooking the stream flowing through the beautiful backyard. The covered area with the large table was great for playing games and having a lovely dinner outside.

We loved Hope!

This cabin is very cute, very comfortable and has everything you need, including extra pillows and blankets and unlimited firewood. The area is very quiet and sitting by the creek with an evening fire in the fire pit, you feel like you are out in the wilderness. There is lots to do in and around Hope. A wonderful vacation spot for the family!

This property was well-equipped for our little getaway. We just needed a place to stay while at a women’s conference, but kayaks and life jackets?! We couldn’t resist taking them out for a paddle. Clean, cozy, peaceful, and the owners were great communicators. Will be back!

Perfect cozy getaway

We absolutely loved this little a-frame nestled in between mountains. The stream out the back door was the highlight. But the house itself is just so perfect for our family of five. I had envisioned it by itself on a larger property for some reason, so be aware that it is in a neighborhood with similar houses. We used the community center pool, about a 5 minute drive, and were pleasantly surprised at how new the facility was. We drove about six minutes and hiked in to Flood Falls, a totally doable walk with small kids. They loved it. We stayed three nights in this house and none of us wanted to leave. I highly recommend this Hope house for a cozy getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Kim and Dwayne Farlin

Host profile image
I grew up in Hope and have since moved away. Our family purchased this little piece of paradise a few years back because of it's proximity to Vancouver and my strong roots in the area. We absolutely love our "retreat" and encourage you to come out and give it a try.

Why they chose this property

We are steps away from Kawkawa Lake and our little cabin is spectacular in the summer and cozy in the winter. Whether you enjoy summer activities or winter activities, we've got you covered.

What makes this property unique

The backyard of our cabin is truly our retreat. A huge deck overlooking a spring fed stream and fire pit area is our "happy place".
