About this property
Casa Allegro ~ Mara Lake Tranquility ~ An All-Season Paradise
We hope to welcome you to our serene and tranquil little slice of Paradise. Located in the quiet lakeside community of Swansea Point on the beautiful Mara Lake; it’s a true four-season gem.
Our beautiful and private corner lot offers quick access to the lake, and is a short drive to town for any of your shopping needs or to eat at any of the delicious restaurants in town, visit the summer markets, mini-golf or some famous D-Dutch ice cream!! It is also within half an hour drive from a handful of wineries, Salmon Arm with their waterslides and the drive-in theatre in Enderby! An absolute must do with the kids – it’s one of the last three in all of BC!
During the summer months you can enjoy the air-conditioned cabin, large deck with two-person recliner couch and patio table for those summer BBQ dinners. The large, completely fenced yard, is a private oasis with a grass area for the kids, kicking a ball around or getting your tan on and a fire pit for roasting marshmallows in the evening (as long as there is no fire ban – please check before you burn). The yard is treed in and you almost feel like there isn’t a person around. Within a quick 5-minute walk you can access the lake through multiple park entrances with sandy beaches and playground equipment. There is the Windsor Road Boat Launch at the end of road from the house which is public access with a dock to tie off at while you load your supplies and offload boaters.
The home has ample space for large families or two families travelling together. There is a well-stocked kitchen, lots of pantry space and all the appliances you could need. The ensuite bathroom off the master king bedroom has a standup shower and the second bathroom has a bath and shower combo. There is a large dining room with a gorgeous wood table for those big family dinners. You’ll enjoy the quite of the home and all of the natural light that shines in through the many big windows. TV, wifi, some board games, cards, dice and a radio are all here for the nights you just want to stay in and relax after a long day of sun and fun on the lake. Bedrooms are spacious with quality linen, comfortable beds and closets in all 3 rooms!
Our large yard has a long front driveway with enough room for at least 3 cars, and the back yard can handle trucks and boat or sled trailers without a problem! No shortage of parking space for all your toys!
In the winter this cabin is sled in and out accessible with trails just across the highway heading up Mara Mountain Hunter’s Range. After a long day of riding and being out in the snow sled back into the yard and hop straight into our new hot tub to relax those muscles and warm up!!! There is a propane fireplace in the home to give that extra cozy cabin feel on those snowy winter days and nights. If skiing or snowboarding is more your thing there is mountains in Vernon and Revelstoke only a 50 min drive away either direction.
Getting away from the city any time of the year has never been more relaxing or serene – we are sure you will fall in love with Swansea Point just like we did and want to return again and again!
We welcome furry friends – please be sure to clean up after them! This helps to keep the grass nice and the yard clean for all who visit. There is a $50 pet fee. *** Please note that fireworks are strictly prohibited in the community and will result in a fine from bylaw if used *** Thank you so much and we hope you enjoy your stay!

Thank you again for staying with us on your last trip! You guys were amazing renters and we would love to host you again! So glad the yard worked for the trailers and gear!
Great place for a lake holiday! Clean, spacious and has lots of the little we love like a fire pit, hot tub, yard, deck and enough bedrooms for 2 families. Also an easy walk to quiet beaches.

We are so thankful that you enjoyed the area, yard and home! Mara Lake truly is a gem!
Our stay at Casa Allegro was great! The hosts were amazing to deal with, on the day we were arriving they messaged and offered us early check-in if needed. The house is beautiful, clean, and was well-equipped for our stay. We really enjoyed the hot tub and the large fenced-in yard was perfect. We appreciated that it was dog friendly! The neighbourhood is quiet and friendly and the surrounding area is beautiful. We loved our stay and hope to be back!

We had a great stay at Casa Allegra with family! Everybody enjoyed the amenities, the yard, the hot tub and the AC! The deck is wonderful and in the shade for most of the day. There are plenty of areas to enjoy a meal, play games and visit. An all around home away from home! S.B.

Lesley and family we were so happy to host you guys again! We are so glad that you enjoy the area as much as we do and hope to host you again!
We were a group of ladies (60) who get together annually for a fun filled weekend. We loved the layout of this home with the high ceilings and large windows that made the living, kitchen and dining area seem so much bigger. We also loved the open concept that allowed us to visit while preparing meals. This home was wonderful for all our needs. A well equipped kitchen, a large backyard with firepit area and hot tub. We certainly would recommend this home to others.
