Pet-Friendly 3BR Retreat – Private, Spacious & Prime Location

Welcome to your home away from home in beautiful Kelowna!

This private and spacious unit is nestled on scenic Knox Mountain in a quiet neighbourhood—just a quick 5-minute drive to downtown Kelowna and the lake. Surrounded by endless walking and biking trails with stunning lake views in every direction, it’s the perfect peaceful retreat that still keeps you close to all the action.

Ideal for families and larger groups—and pet friendly too, because we believe your furry companions are family and should never be left behind.

The fully updated kitchen comes equipped with everything you need to cook and enjoy meals at home, including a blender, coffee maker, kettle, cookware, dishes, cutlery, coffee, and tea. In the cozy living room, unwind with a Smart TV offering Netflix, Prime, Disney, Discovery, and Hayu.

Great location and stay!

We came in to Kelowna for a hockey tournament and was looking for ease of access to rink, while still getting to experience Kelowna for all it had to offer. The home was as advertised, communication was easy and quick and our stay was great. We loved the ability to cook and grill daily, plenty of room for everyone and our dog loved the yard. We would definitely stay again!

This was a great property to stay in for a little girl’s weekend away in Kelowna. Walking distance to nice hikes, a short drive to downtown or west Kelowna. The front patio was private and an amazing place to spend time. The house was spacious and clean. Unfortunately, it seemed like someone either used to or currently smoked in the unit below the house so it often smelled faintly of smoke. So something to be aware of if you’re sensitive. But other than that, I’d recommend this place for your next trip to Kelowna!

Thank you so much for the 5-star review — we're so glad you and your group enjoyed the space, cleanliness and location for your girls’ weekend! Regarding the smoke smell you mentioned: just to clarify for future guests, this is a smoke-free home, but smoking is allowed on the front veranda, which is located close to the entrance. It's possible that someone in your group may have been smoking there, and the scent drifted inside as a result. We always encourage guests to be mindful when smoking outdoors to help keep the indoor space fresh for everyone. We really appreciate you highlighting this, and we’re happy to hear you’d still recommend the property!

The perfect stay!

Irena & Blake's home was the perfect choice for our week of fun in the Kelowna summer sun. The house was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed to feel at home. The beds were very comfy and the area was very quiet for a good nights sleep. The private enclosed front porch/patio area is beautifully furnished and provided us with the ideal place to store our 2 kayaks and 2 ebikes. Irena & Blake were perfect hosts, kindly shared their 2 beautiful Pomeranian dogs with my wife and giving me some delicious zucchini for the BBQ from their garden.

Irena and Blake were very welcoming and sooo helpful. It was a perfect size to accommodate our two sons and spouses along with our dog. We appreciated the welcome basket with snacks and wine, and Fergus appreciated the doggie treat basket as well! The beds were very comfortable, we slept great!The house is walking distance to Knox Mountain Park with miles of hiking trails and spectacular viewpoints.

Hello! We moved out to Kelowna in 2020 and absolutely love this little piece of Canadian paradise. From paddle boarding and boating to hiking and biking the endless trails, the outdoor activities are endless. We love it here and know you will too!

Why they chose this property

Our home is situated on Knox Mountain in a quiet area that is a quick 5 minute drive to the lake and to downtown Kelowna. Surrounded by endless walking/ biking trails with beautiful views of the lake in every direction, if you are looking for a peaceful getaway that is close to all the action - this is the place for you. Perfect for families and pet friendly, because we think fur-babies are family members too and should never get left behind. =)
