The orchard consists of 25 fruit trees surrounding the house. There is an upper and lower orchard to enjoy outside games, such as bacci ball and croquet. On hot summer days the covered deck can be used for outdoor dinning and barbecues. A music system for outside is provided. An RV can be parked in the 50 foot paved driveway.

Quiet area only 5 minutes from town. This house is well equiped and has everything one needs to enjoy a holiday away from home. Comfortable for multi-generational use. Views to die for! Good photos of the property, but the "real thing" is even better. Great yard with sheltered patio. We all loved Penticton. We were there for the Ironman competition - appreciated Orchard House location as it's a little removed from the busyness of the town. Members of our group enjoyed the beach, wineries, fruit stands, Theo's restaurant, Kettle Valley Railway, bike trails, grocery stores, thrift shops and antique store.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, pet owners, age 55+, families with young children, adventure seekers.
