We came with our family of 6 and dog. The place was spacious, clean and just a short drive to downtown Kelowna. Irena was very responsive and extremely helpful in recommending local hikes and dog-friendly spots. We had to extend our time in Kelowna unexpectedly and although her place was booked, Irena went out of her way to try to help us find other accommodations. The place met our needs perfectly and we will definitely be back!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Irena Ceko

Host profile image
Owned by Irena and Blake.

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. =)
