Grand, impressive wood cabin. Amazing views from the deck. Lot's of space for 4 couples. Very close to Harper Mtn for a day of skiing. Nice hot tub and fire pit. Definitely a winner for us!
Disappointing Stay with Hidden Fees & Poor Communication
1/5 Stars•Hidden Fees: Charged a pet fee and fireplace cleaning fee after our stay, neither of which were disclosed in the listing or house rules. Also indicated that we did not do the dishes which we in fact did and have photo evidence of such.•Poor Communication: Host was unprofessional and made us feel unwelcome throughout the stay.•Unannounced Visit: Host showed up at the property without notice while we were working. They contacted us after their visit while we weren’t on site.•Outdoor Surveillance Camera: Invasive and not disclosed upfront. Pointed at the hot tub of all places.•Inadequate Firewood: No kindling or hatchet provided, making it difficult to use the fireplace. Not enough wood for our stay.•Water Quality Issue: Strong sulfur smell due to lack of filtration, not mentioned in the listing. Lingered throughout the day.•Misleading Pet Policy: Listing states dogs are allowed but does not mention extra charges.Would not recommend. Future guests should request written confirmation of all policies and fees before booking. I will be submitting a formal complaint to VRBO.
Our group of 6 adults loved our time at the cabin, spacious but cosy with an amazing view of Pinantan lake. The property is very private and quiet for a perfect relaxing weekend. The cabin is well laid out with a bonus games room and lots of board games to enjoy. The beds were super comfortable and clean. Bathrooms were spotless, two rooms have ensuites and a third bathroom on the main floor which has a bath only. The kitchen is well equipped with a bonus counter top oven for preparing large meals. The fire place and hot tub add to the experience and create a very relaxing environment. There are also lots of dirt biking trails off the property to enjoy, something that will definitely having us coming back. Jamie & Camille were very responsive hosts and provided a lot of helpful tips. Would highly recommend this place for a family or group. Thank you for an awesome stay.
Lots of room for our 60+ age group. Our stay was in the fall so although we didn’t get to enjoy the lake swimming we had beautiful walks around the property and down to the lake. One guest tried his hand at fishing and ventured out in the kayak but alas came back empty handed.
We loved our stay in Pinantan Lake! The views were beautiful. The place was perfect for our family of six. We utilized the grill, kayaks, hot tub and greatly enjoyed the wrap around deck! The home was very beautiful, and we loved some of the unique decor throughout. While hiking nearby, we crossed paths with a black bear! A little scary at the time, but it certainly is something to talk about now. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
Overall, I enjoyed staying in the cabin. It’s a beautiful spot overlooking the lake in the most gorgeous cabin I’ve ever been in. The views are spectacular.
I knew the lake would be a steep climb down, as I came prepped reading through the reviews. I did not know that there was a road in between that you,d have to cross. It’s not a busy road, but I thought we would have the 24 acres plus private lake access leading me to think we could just walk down there freely with the dogs. There are no pictures of said road or mention of this in the listing.
The private lake access is listed with a Picnic table and a dock. We were prepared for these steps to be steep but I did not expect them to be so weedy making it hard to see where you are stepping which is a tad sketchy. The picnic table is grown into the weeds so you are unable to sit at it. The dock and ladder into the lake is broken. So the dock sits sideways slanting in the water and it’s also the only way into the lake because of the mud and weeds, so to get out you really have to haul yourself up onto this ladder because there is only 1 step left.
Communication was strange, they mention to text them if you can’t get the ice maker to work, and when we did they gave us the same instructions and chalked it up to being an old fridge.
Overall a good stay, just felt mislead regarding the lake situation. I’m sure the host will comment about being realistic as she had to others, but hard to be when the photos on the ad are not.
The rental was very clean upon arrival and the description and photos were very accurate. All amenities listed were present and we were very comfortable and relaxed during our stay. The dock needs some minor repairs to the ladder and float barrels, but still usable. The lake is excellent for swimming!
Beautiful log lodge with plenty of space and beds for group stays. Very isolated and quiet for those wanting to get away and relax with beautiful lake views. A little less than one hour to many fabulous golf courses in the Kamloops area.
We (family of four from the UK) enjoyed a wonderful 5-night summer stay at Pinantan Lake.
The log cabin is truly amazing and the location- nestled into the hillside and overlooking the lake- is truly magnificent.
Communication with Jamie and Camille was excellent and they were available to assist before and during our stay.
It wasn’t a problem for us, but as earlier reviews have mentioned, the steps to the lake from the cabin are steep and numerous.
Also, at the time of our stay, there were no bikes and the BBQ ignition switch did not work.
Overall, would highly recommend.
Loved our stay such a beautiful house & location would definitely recommend to friends ! So much space and house was equipped with all needed except for wine glasses ! But didn’t stop us from having a great holiday would definitely revisit in the future xx
The views were outstanding. The bedrooms were comfortable and provided privacy since each couple were able to have a level of their own. What we did not expect was the shower on the main floor was not working; the BBQ required a half hour cleaning in order to use; all non-stick skillets stuck, even when frying fatty pork; the hot tub was not level so water would spill out; and the trek to the lake was very much more physically demanding than advertised. Luckily you can drive down half way. The kayaks were very nice but the canoe seats were sticky so we never used it. The ladder on the dock had one broken step. There is no beach access. The lake is a non-motorized boat lake so it was very nice, quiet and relaxing.
If you are looking for a beautiful home with a beautiful view of mountains and the lake, this is the place for you.
This is my second time renting this property.
The property is gorgeous, lots of room for a group stay. The view is fantastic, and the area is pretty relaxed.
The dock, and walk down to the dock could use some work, and is not as pictured on the ad.
Overall we had a great time, and my even rent for a third time.

Why they chose this property
Built the property from the ground up, enjoyed the views and looked forward to the recreational activities with friends and family. You can leave straight from the cabin into the mountains, very convenient. I'm a golfer in the summer, and enjoy all the golf courses east and west of the cabin.
What makes this property unique
It's very private - like being in your own little world with no visible neighbours. Private access to lake, 24 acres with multiple trails throughout. Please note access to lake is down a steep hill (not recommended for those with mobility issues).
