Relaxing Family Weekend

Loved our stay at Surprise Ranch. Beds were very comfortable. Everything we needed was provided and clearly communicated. We saw wild sheep and two bears on the mountainside - and lots of cows. We’d love to come again.

Great location

We had a great time . The location is perfect , close to Osoyoos and Penticton but it gives you the privacy and the comfort especially if you are travelling with a big group like ours(22 people- including children) . The owner is very prompt at responding and helping if needed. We enjoyed our stay here and probably come back . Totally recommend!

Splendid stay

We picked Marleen’s place to house us and our friends during our wedding weekend. Looking at the photos, I was skeptical that it would actually sleep as many as we had, but it does in fact sleep 20. We had more than enough space. It was great having everyone together before and after our ceremony. The place was very tidy, had everything we needed and more! I would definitely recommend staying on this lovely piece of property!

Group quite gathering.

I pick the place for my wife’s 60th birthday celebration with our adults kids and out of country relatives. I don’t have much time and choices but the place is not for such purpose. Buts it’s a great place as home temporary substitute. Just need some minor toiletries distribution to all rooms. Still recommends to friends as per specific purpose only.

The house was amazing. Just what we needed! The is sooo much room. The view is beautiful at any time of the day. In the evening the sound of the crickets is so peaceful. The kitchen has all the spices you would need! Walking in from the 37 weather into a nice cool house was definitely refreshing. We will definitely be back.

A Winter Wonderland Christmas

Our family group of 13 from 6 to 85 experienced a beautiful, snowy week at Christmas in this picturesque and quiet ranch house. The property is spacious and nicely updated. It is adorned with thoughtful sayings that read like a playbook to a life well lived and provided the backdrop to a most memorable family gathering. The accommodations and scenery were enough to warrant a 5/5 review but it was our experience with the hosts that made the trip even more unforgettable. Amidst historic floods, road closures and an untimely winter storm, Marlene provided support above and beyond any expectations to make our holiday plans a reality and help us arrive at the house lit up with Christmas lights and a 9ft tree on time. We couldn't possibly say thank you enough to Marlene and family. They are good people!

August long weekend!

The house was very nice. We all enjoyed it. It was a little further out from Penticton than what we would have liked. The ad stating that it sleeps 20 is mis-leading as there are only beds for 18. A pull out bed or renovated utility room with an additional bedroom would have been great for our group of 19. It was a hot week and the AC struggled to keep the upper level master bedroom cool. Overall we enjoyed the time with family. Got to see some of the local animals (deer and bear).

A fantastic property

This house is amazing for a large group get-together. The bedrooms are spacious and the living areas welcoming. We had a wonderful long weekend. Marlene looked after us very well, even when we messed up the hot tub. It is in a good location - remote but close to wineries. Highly recommended.
