This might be the most perfect place I have stayed in a very long time! Perfectly located, beautifully decorated, super close to downtown Kelowna, but the views of the lake directly across and the gorgeous mountain park behind make this a spot I can’t wait to return to!!

This was a lovely unit in a great location. You do have to be comfortable with stairs tho. Easy parking right outside your front door, lovely view of the lake. Hosts had kayak and canoe for us to use but the April weather made it too cool for us. There were also start up milk and creamer as well as condiments for our use. Linens and towels were great as was the bed. Super rain shower and soaker tub. We stayed a week and enjoyed every minute.

Great Location and Beautiful Rental!

Paul and Vivien are wonderful hosts and the rental is all you could ask for! Beautiful location overlooking the lake and in fact right across from the lake. It is a lovely area to walk and walk your dog! The location is extremely convenient as it is just minutes from downtown Kelowna. I would highly recommend!!

Retreat

The Boat House was a beautiful retreat with everything one could want. The location on the lake and close to Knox Mountain & the cultural district was so convenient. The place itself had lots of stairs but provides a great separation if there are two couples or a group of friends. The patio was spectacular. Vivienne has decorated the place with the nautical theme and has not missed anything. I will definitely stay here again.

Lakeside Retreat

Nestled at the base of Knox Mountain and on a lakeshore drive is The Boat House. It is abundantly evident that Vivien and Paul have put a lot of time, care and effort into providing a relaxing retreat. The home is located so that guests can enjoy the natural landscape with the park and tennis courts close by, while also being within walking and driving distance of urban amenities. There was a kayak, canoe, bikes, two separate decks and little extras in the unit to ensure that our pup’s stay was also comfortable. Having a king bed and a bathroom with a large shower and soaker tub was a bonus. The hosts were attentive and checked in, but were not intrusive. The needs of their guests are important to them and we’re happy to recommend The Boat House to those travelling to Kelowna to absorb some quality time in the Okanagan.

Loved everything about this house. Great location, spotlessly clean, comfortable beds, lake is directly across the street, views, etc. thoughtful host. I was always reluctant to travel with our little dog mainly because I’ve had bad experiences with pet hotels. This house was so clean you would never know a pet was ever in there.

Our stay was flawless. The location was a perfect distance from all things in all places we wanted to be. It was quiet. The only sound we heard were the lapping of the Waves as they were coming in off the lake. Our hosts were incredible. Very communicative and even when I messed up our checkout dates they were very accommodating with letting us get out at a later checkout time when they didn't have to. I would absolutely stay here again and I would always recommend others to stay here. It is very unique. Lots of character and very well taken care of.
