Fully appointed suite with a view, nestled high above Skaha Lake in beautiful Heritage Hills. Only a scenic 15 minute drive, along the lake, south of Penticton.
This one bedroom suite is perfect for a couple, but also has a double fold-out bed in the sitting area that would accommodate one or two smaller children, if they do not mind sleeping together. Fully-equipped kitchen, full-size bath and laundry facilities are also available in the suite. The private view deck, right outside your door, is perfect for morning coffee, happy hour drinks, and barbeques.
Surrounded by Nature and Wildlife,(there is a good chance you will see deer or mountain sheep in the yard), this suite (completed in September 2006) has everything you will need for a relaxing and a carefree holiday.
Whether you want an active sporting vacation or a quiet retreat, this is for you. All the activities, the Okanagan has to offer, are at your doorstep. Play one of the many award-winning golf courses, bike, or hike the historic Kettle Valley Railway Trail, partake in any of the many water-sports offered by Okanagan and Skaha Lakes, the list is endless. Also, let us not forget the "Ironman Triathlon" for you really avid sports enthusiasts. The world renowned "Penticton Hockey School" runs all summer,as well.
However, if you prefer a quieter escape, this area has just as much to offer. A relaxing float down the Channel, beautiful beaches, and winery touring, (the closest winery is only a stone's throw away) and the sun is almost always shining. These are only some of the endless summer activities.
The rest of the year also offers many unique things to do. Apex, Baldy and Big White Ski areas are all within an easy drive which boast amazing downhill, cross country and snow shoe trails as well as outdoor skating rinks. Fall and Spring offer the Okanagan Wine Festivals and these are only a few of the areas popular events. What more could you want?

What a Great Place!

The owner made us feel so welcome and relaxed. The suite is so cozy and has everything one could ask for. Being able to BBQ in such nice surroundings made for great dinners. The yard was the perfect oasis for our three year old to play a few rounds of golf (thanks for the clubs, they are still a huge hit.). The master bed was so comfortable it has spoiled us for our own. We would reccomend this property to any of our friends and family
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children.

My husband and I have come to Penticton for the past 6 years for a soccer tournament in October. Previous years we stayed downtown at a fairly pricey and marginally clean B&B. For the past 2 years we have stayed in this suite, and we plan to keep coming back as long as they'll have us. It is definitely not right in the city center (it's about a 15 minute drive to the soccer fields down the street from Theo's restaurant), and that was our only concern in switching from downtown. But the extra bit of driving is so worth it. The suite is petite, but perfectly spacious for my husband and I. It is immaculately clean, with a full bath, bedroom, kitchen, and a little sitting area. It includes its own patio with grill and patio table/ chairs, and of course private entrance. The hosts are very gracious and include many thoughtful extras-- last time, as the soccer tournament always falls over Canadian thanksgiving, they even sent us down some delicious pumpkin pie and steamed cranberry pudding! The towels are plush, the sheets are soft, the shades are room darkening, the dishes and appliances are of good quality and in good working order-- these details are important! We figure we save loads of money not eating out all our meals, so a little extra in gas and time is no problem. The only possible drawback would be that as the suite is beneath the hosts' quarters, if you long to sleep late you may be disappointed-- footstes across the floor above are quite audible. For us this was no trouble, as we did not sleep in nor intend to. I would recommend this suite to anybody!
