    Everything at Sonora Pines was perfect for humans and their furry children! The humans had wonderful, clean accommodations, beautiful scenery, and amazing wine from Rob & Rilla's vineyard! The furry children were welcomed without hesitation, and having the deck and porch areas gated made it comfortable for the animals to be outside. Having a clean place that is respectful of people's need to travel with animals (cats and dogs) is IDEAL! We will be back! Rilla & Rob - Thank you for the great accommodation and wonderful hospitality!

    Owner response: You folks were a pleasure to have around with your furry children. We hope to see you in the spring for your skiing holiday. All the best to you Rilla and Rob

    We spent Thanksgiving week at Sonora Pines and had a fantastic time. The kitchen was first rate and the breakfast fixings in the fridge were greatly appreciated. The deck overlooks their vineyard and provides a great view of the valley. We were there during harvest season and Rob readily shared his knowledge and insight of the industry. The guest house was our base for a wine tour that started with Hidden Chappel Winery next door and ranged through Summerland, the Naramata Bench and the Oliver / Osoyoos area. We enjoyed many restaurants in the area but also made good use of the barbecue on the deck. Rob and Rilla are gracious hosts and the guesthouse is clean, comfortable, and fully equipped. We would definitely return and have recommended Sonora Pines to family and friends. Thanks Rob and Rilla!

    We stayed with Rilla and Robin for an amazing 7 nights. They truly have thought of everything! After our accident this just what we needed. I enjoyed the Epsom salts that soothed away the aches and pains. The deck chairs were sometimes too comfortable to leave. The views over the valley were awesome. Can we move in permanently?

    We just got back from a 10 day stay at the guest house. It was fabulous, and we highly recommend it! We appreciated being able to bring our cat here. The kitchen is well stocked with breakfast items and wine and cheese on arrival, plus a DVD library to enjoy. Robin & Rilla have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable, and are great hosts. Having morning coffee on the patio overlooking the vineyard is amazing! The place is very quiet and private - only the sounds of the highway off in the distance and the occasional farm tractor, which is nice to see how a vineyard is operated. I also recommend going to the Hidden Chapel winery next door - the owners are really nice and the wine is really good! Our annual wine fridge stocking mission is complete!

    We just escaped the City for a couple of wonderfull nights at Sonora Pines Estates. Purpose built for guests, the host and hostess make you feel welcome form the moment you arrive. While only one bedroom, the house is extremely spacious and well equipped. Covered veranda for those hot days. The whole valley is easliy viewed from every window. Amazing sounds from the wildlife nearby. Great value. Hope to make this a repeat stay in the future.

    We recently returned from a 10 day stay in this marvellous guesthouse. We loved it! There was plenty of room and what a view! We also so much appreciated how welcome our pup was. Rob and Rilla are absolutely wonderful hosts! Not only did we feel pampered but also learned a lot about winemaking and the industry as a whole. We would highly recommed this fabulous property as the perfect getaway for 2 (and if you have a pup, he/she will have a wonderful holiday too!) Thanks Rob and Rilla! Irene, Stefan and Maya (woof! woof!)

    We stayed at Sonora Pines for our honeymoon for 5 nights. The guesthouse is absolutely beautiful, and was perfect for the two of us. The area is amazing, with desert, lakes, wineries, and beaches. Thank you so much for having us. We will definitely be back! (Maybe next year for our anniversary).

    This guesthouse was easy to get to from Vancouver. It was an exceptionally clean space with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. It was very private, but the owners were available if we needed anything. We were welcomed as friends and learned about the region, the vineyards, and the wine from our hosts. I would love to visit again and again and will suggest it to anyone headed to the Okanagan. Thank you Rob and Rilla!!

    This is a beautiful guest house for your vacation. We absolutely love it! We've been back many times. Everything you need is in this guest house overlooking the vineyard. It is a very romantic getaway for any age. There is so much to do in Oliver and area. Besides all the wineries, it has great biking trails or walk/hike. My husband loves the golf course. The restaurants are good, but I like to stay in and cook in the guest house, why leave the gorgeous view on the deck? Rilla and Rob are amazing hosts. They make you feel very special with all the treats they leave for you. Can't wait to return, I wouldn't stay anywhere else. Linda and MIchael

    Dear Rob & Rilla, Our stay at your lovely guest house was exactly what we were looking for. Quiet, cozy and extremely comfortable, all our work stresses disappeared. The thoughtful extra touches; goodies from the local bakery, the candles, and the welcoming wine and cheese made us feel pampered and cared for. We loved our mornings and evenings on the very private deck, watching the families of quail head out to the vineyard, and making friends with the hummingbird that visited every day. We will definitely recommend your location to our friends and family, and we hope to visit again ourselves very soon. Take care! Chuck & Donna Wingenbach

    We really enjoyed our stay at the Sonora Pines Guest house in Oliver. The unit was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. It overlooks the valley and is close to Oliver and several wineries. It makes a great place to relax after a day of hiking, biking & wine tasting. We hope to come back, it was a fantastic vacation. Thanks Rilla & Rob!

    We had a wonderful three nights in this stylish and very comfortable guest house. Robin and Rilla were great hosts and very informative about the area. The guest house was very quiet and well situated in the centre of wine country. We spent the days wine tasting and enjoying the local restaurants. We will definitely be back!

    We had a wonderful three nights at the guest house. The house is lovely with new, modern decor and very clean. Our hosts were excellent and answered all questions regarding the vineyard. We were able to watch the workers picking grapes during our stay. We toured many wineries, ate at excellent restaurants and rented bikes during our stay. We would highly recommend the guest house as an excellent get-a-way.

    We stayed at this lovely guest house for 3 nights and enjoyed everything about it. The house is beautifully built, furnished and decorated, very comfortable and clean. It has everything you would need and is the perfect getaway for couples, a romantic spot. It's in the heart of the wine country and close to many very good restaurants. The hosts are kind, accomodating and very hospitable. Thank you for a fabulous stay!
