This unique Okanagan accommodation is located in a wonderful setting only 20 minutes from the US border, 30 minutes from Penticton airport, and 4 1/2 hours from Vancouver. Oliver is in the Sonora Desert, the northern most desert in North America! Known as the 'Napa Valley of the North, and also as the 'Palm Desert of Canada'. Oliver hosts the 'Oliver Half Ironman Triathlon', and our property and location is the perfect home base for all your training needs.
There are at least 20 wineries close by.....Tinhorn Creek, Fairview Cellars, Quinta Ferreira, Hester Creek, Gehringer Brothers, Inniskillin, Road 13, Antelope Ridge, Golden Beaver, Silver Sage and Stoneboat are all easily a 5 minute drive! The rest, including Burrowing Owl, Desert Hills, Black Hills, Nk'Mip, See Ya Later Ranch, Noble Ridge, Blue Mountain, Wild Goose, Stag's Hollow, Tangled Vines, Blasted Church and Oliver Twist (there's still more!) are within 10-20 minutes.
Fairview Mountain Golf Club, rated 5th in the province, and Inkameep Canyon Desert Golf Course are under a 5 minute drive. 36 Hole Osoyoos Golf & Country Club, Sonora Dunes (next to award winning Nk'Mip Cellars), Twin Lakes Golf and St. Andrew by the Lake (9 holes) are within 15 minutes, and many more towards Penticton.
The hills and landscapes in the surrounding areas are beautiful, with stunning views. In the evening, enjoy fantastic star gazing & shooting stars after a tasty BBQ on the deck. Play bocce (Italian lawn bowling), horseshoes, badminton or volleyball on the huge expanse of lawn. A gamesroom in the basement with a ping pong and a foosball table is available for our guests enjoyment. There is a 20' x 40' salt water pool with outdoor shower to lounge beside. The pool is heated with solar, so that we can usually heat from May and sometimes right up until October.
The 6 bedroom house has been completely re-decorated with an eclectic mix of antiques and contemporary decor. There's a large sun deck, with loads of outdoor furniture, umbrellas and a barbecue. Hiking and biking is fantastic all around, with just a 3 minute drive, or 15 minute walk to downtown Oliver.

We were a group of eight women (sisters & mother) who chose Oliver for our annual getaway weekend this year. This was the perfect accommodation for us. The beds are comfy, the kitchen extremely well stocked, lots of room for our group and the salt water pool was great (we lucked out and had nice hot weather for early May) The caretakers were friendly and informative. We enjoyed out time here so much, we are planning to return next year.Owner response: Thanks very much Donna, You were wonderful guests. We're so pleased you coming back again! Linda & Joe

Six of my sisters,myself and my mother spent a fabulous 3 nights here.We can become quite loud when we are together and this offered the privacy. We were easily able to visit wineries from here and enjoyed each of the ones recommmended by Linda.The home offered everything we needed and more.It was early in the season but we were still able to enjoy the salt water pool.This was our 5th annual gathering .We have travelled to various places but we are planning on returning to Stonehouse Vinyard next year.Thanks Linda for the great service.Owner response: Thanks so much Shirley. It was a delight to have you and your family, and thanks for booking for next year! We're looking forward to having you visit again. Linda

Jun 1-4, 2012 was the third time we have stayed at the Stonehouse Vineyard accomodation. The house is very comfortable and well appointed. We have stayed with a group each time and everyone ends up with their own bedroom, all of which are extremely nice. The kitchen has everything that could ever be needed - not just the basics. It's very easy to create wonderful meals in the kitchen or on the deluxe, large BBQ on the deck. Linda is wonderful to deal with. We would highly rate this accomodation - it's worth every penny!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We were so impressed with the amazing accommodations at the Stonehouse! It was only minutes away from all the best wineries in Oliver as well as close to great little cafe's and grocery stores. We loved how well stocked the kitchen was with pots, pans, dishes, utensils, etc which made preparing meals so easy. The house was clean and organized with tons of space perfect for a large group. Loved that we had a pool right at the house! Even though the weather was cool, the pool was still warm enough for an evening dip! The goats and chickens added a country charm to the place while the well kept grounds were perfect for dinners outside. We can't wait to go back!Did you find this review helpful?

We had 7 nights of relaxation, sunshine, and fabulous mountain views from the deck. Fun evenings of BBQ's and games. Everything about the house and property exceeded our expectations! An ideal location, that's central to all the needs and activities to make a perfect vacation. Our large extended family loved the easy access to the wineries. Our adult children and grandchildren went biking, hiking, and played bocce, along with too many lawn games to mention. The huge saline pool is amazing, and we took the family boating and water-skiing at nearby lakes. We've already booked for this summer, and a September golf weekend for 4 couples ! Definitely recommend this as a great family holiday spot. Thank you Joe and Linda for making us feel so welcome. The BowerbanksDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Thank you for providing such beautiful accommodations! My friends and I enjoyed ourselves so much. The wineries (we saw 12 of them), the golfing (St. Andrews), the view from our back deck, the beautiful appointments throughout the entire house. Kudos to the designer. Absolutely stunning! The private, saltwater pool….can’t even begin to describe. You may notice that I put in a request for the same time next year. Five of us decided we’d like to come back and bring our spouses. Nice community feel to Oliver….. Cheers,Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

A group of us stayed in the beautiful property Sept 9 -11 and had an excellent time. We took full advantage of the saltwater pool as the weather was in the 30's, we enjoyed all of our meals outside on the big deck and used the new bbq grill which was huge I might add! It really felt like summer vacation for all of us and we would definately stay there again in a heartbeat.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

My 2 very particular Australian girlfriends and I (and I am an innkeeper myself- so even fussier) recently spent a glorious 3 days at the "Stonehouse Estate." Everything was perfect. The attention to detail was most impressive from the extent to which the kitchen was outfitted (we love to cook), to the remarkably comfortable beds, to the detailed information provided us by Linda and Joe. They are obviously hosts who know how to do it right! It selfishly flitted through my mind that perhaps I shouldn't post this review because the place is so great that when we want to come back there won't be any availability! What a great find.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

I recently had the opportunity to escape from the cold spring in Montreal for a spectacular few days of relaxation and rejuvenation in warm Oliver with my longtime girlfriends from all over Canada. This was our second annual springtime reunion at this unique property in Oliver and we will definitely be back for a third. The house and grounds are spectacular and the photos do not do it justice. The house is spacious, clean, comfortable and has excellent amenities. The kitchen is better equipped than my own and well laid out for cooking while savouring delicious Okanagan wine and catching up with old friends. Every morning we had the pleasure of soaking up the morning sun and eating a home cooked breakfast on the wrap around deck with stunning views of the mountains. The vineyard is centrally located which allowed us to visit many wineries over several days. For additional relaxation there are great spa facilities both in Oliver (Athina Day Spa) and nearby Osoyoos (Spirit Ridge Vineyard Resort and Spa). For the active among us, it was easy to map out lovely running routes around the vineyards and orchards of varying distances. This is an extraordinary property not to be missed!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway.
