  This is a great holiday rental and a great location. Very quiet but very near to Hope (only minutes by car). Everything you could possibly wish for when on holiday from the UK. Owners were extremely helpful when booking/paying. Well organised on arrival with well written instructions available in the property (also sent by email prior to arrival). Excellent internet access. Very useful to have a phone in the property (when in trouble with understanding how TV works can easily phone owners). Also used it to call UK via Prepaid Calling Card for a fraction of the cost of using a payphone and at no cost to the owners (can buy from Walmart). Very clean and tidy on arrival. Lots of space - 3 big bedrooms (comfy beds), lots of seating in lounge/dining area, all appliances worked well. Can't really recommend this highly enough. Would certainly return if in the area again.

  Owner response: Martin, we are glad everything worked out for you. We will work on having just one simple remote control.

  We had a lovely time staying in this beautiful, modern home in Hope. The home is very well equipped and spotless, and just as described. The owners were organized and prompt with answers to any questions. Our children had a fantastic time with the neighbourhood kids, who were very welcoming. There's lots to do in the area, and we enjoyed lots of biking to the Othello tunnels, panning for gold, playing in the lake and at the playground. All in all a very lovely experience.

  This property looked brand-new, very well maintained, the photos of the property are true, the listing description is very accurate. The house is just across from the lake and with ample parking.. It has everything you'll need for a relaxed vacation... the oven is modern and huge, you can't go wrong with your steak or brownies.. The kitchen has complete, good-quality utensils , a coffee maker, blender, a stand mixer, and more.. The beds are comfortable, plus there is a walk-in closet big enough for a month’s vacation.. the bathrooms are clean and so are the carpets.. Tanja - the property owner, is really accommodating and she's very organized even with the paperwork, we got the refund for the damage deposit within 24 hours of our departure!! I cannot think of one thing negative about our stay in Hope, BC and we will definitely recommend this property to our friends.

  Owner response: Thanks so much Aurora. I am glad the house work so well for you, your family and friends.

  This house instantly makes you feel like home! Having that house as a base for almost 6 weeks was a joy. It is modern yet cosy, clean and very wellmaintained. Nice little garden, and beautiful Lake Kawkawa a few meters from the doorstep. Nice neighbourhood. You will be comfortable here whether you like being on your own or prefer company and playmates for your children. The house is a walking distance from Hope, which is a nice little town with all you need, basicly. Whether you want to visit Vancouver, cross the US border, experience outdoor adventure it is all easily accessible from Hope, as the transcanada highway leads you right to and from Hope. The area is spectacularily beautiful dominated by majestic Fraser River running through the valley. It is really some place to go and see. So this house is ideally placed, and offering the excellent comfort, I am happy to give it my best recommendations. The owners are very nice and helpful in any concern or question. So do not hesitate to contact them on this house for your next vacation: you will not be disappointed!;)

  This is a perfectly delightful, almost new house that is well cared for and well equipped. It accommodated 6 adults and 3 small children with ease. It is modern and clean with luxurious and spacious feel. We found the owners were very organized in all our dealings with them and provided clear directions to find the location and gain access to the property and prompt in their response to questions we had on our arrival. The property is located within easy walk of the beach at Kawkawa Lake as described. The lake has a beach and children's playground that is ideal for small children to play and paddle and for adults to swim as well. This area is safely roped off from boat traffic on the lake. Othello Tunnels is a must to visit. We think it is one of B.C.'s best kept secrets. The Tunnels themselves, the Coquihalla River, the Gorge the Trestle Bridges, are all amazing and to top it all off the salmon were leaping up the waterfalls in the river below us in their epic struggle upstream to spawn. Another place we found ideal for the kids, small and large alike, to swim and play was the confluence of the Coquihalla and the Fraser Rivers. We would definitely recommend this house to our friends, especially (but not exclusively) those with small children. The Hope Family Restaurant has been a long time favorite of ours as a stopping place on our trips to and from Kelowna. Also the Blue Moose coffee shop on Wallace St in the town centre serves wonderful espresso. There are also many hiking trails of all categories in the mountains and along the rivers around Hope.

  Owner response: We are so glad that you enjoyed your time with your family at the house. Thanks for the great suggestions to other renters on where to go.

  My family and I had a great time at the Hope Vacation home. The lake and small, sandy beach is across the street and down a small trail (1-2 minute walk). Only down side was that the beach area had quite a large amount of goose droppings, so if you can get beyond that the beach area is quite nice and the water was very refreshing. The boat launch and small dock is right there as well, so very convenient if you have a boat or seadoo. The house was very well kept top to bottom. The owners were very accommodating and helpful and there was plenty of room for all of us (3 children, 6 adults). I'm told that next summer the outdoor surround sound will be up and running, which will be an added feature. There was lots to do around the area, such as the Othello tunnels, Hells Gate Airtram, Hope Slide, Bowling Alley, etc. It would have been nice to see a quite time of 11PM instead of 10PM, as that was a little early for the adults in the party. The stay was well worth it and we would do it again in a heartbeat.

  2 perfect weeks with friends. The house is exactly as advertised and is one of the best equiped homes we've rented. We - all adults - saw and did everything Hope had to offer. We even did an overnight trip to Kelowna (about 2 hours away.) We certainly would rent this home again! Thanks Tanja and Stuart.

  Owner response: Thanks Richard and Arnold, we very much enjoyed having you as guests and welcome you back anytime. Thanks again for leaving the house in such great shape.

  This house would have received a 5 star report had there been a booster chair for our young grandson and some beach toys for all 3 children. The house is well equipped with puzzles and other games. Things wthe children (ages 6, 5 and 2 1/2) enjoyed were the Othello tunnels, the local swimming pool (in the rec centre), the park in the centre of town, walking along Sucker Creek and Harrison Beach. They also enjoyed playing with the neighbouring children. If you plan to use the local beach, be aware there are many geese and their excrement present but the water is clear.

  Recommended for: Families with young children.

  Owner response: We look forward to adding a booster seat and some beach toys for sandcastle projects for small kids for August 2011!

  The house wass immaculate when we arrived, and there were added touches that we had not expected at a rental property - shampoo, soap etc. The kitchen also had basic essentials - tea coffee, spices, so as it was so well equipped, it was really easy to cook meals for the 7 adults who were staying here. The views from the house were beautiful, and it was a space that we enjoyed being in - all of us, aged 21 - 75!! The owners had asked if we would like Xmas decorations, and when we arrived, there was a beautiful Xmas tree for us to put our presents under. The house was just as we had expected from the descriptions on the website - only better. The complimentary WiFi was appreciated by us all, and everyone said it felt like "home." I would recommend this property to people of all ages, who are looking for a quiet, peaceful and comfortable holiday in the small but interesting environment of the Fraser Canyon town of Hope.
