⛰️ A NOTE ON OUR HILLSIDE SETTING

The views and privacy come courtesy of a genuine hillside location. Reaching the suite involves a sloped driveway and exterior stairs, with a few steps inside between levels, and walks in the neighborhood mean real hills. Active guests find it no trouble at all, think of it as the price of admission for the quiet and the views.

*The property IS NOT suitable for anyone with limited mobility or difficulty with stairs.*

We had an excellent stay at this VRBO listing. Incredibly impressed by the quality and cleanliness of all the spaces including right down to the linens. The patio outside was really enjoyable just to sit on with a drink, read a book, whatever you do to enjoy relaxation. And that’s what this place was all about - slowing down time and finding peace in the quietness. Communication with Austin was easy, and check-in and check-out was super simple. Honestly I’d hope they create more properties one day because it was a great experience!

While this home is beautiful and quite, it is the basement of the home and not the comlete home we are used to when booking through VRBO. If you have walking disabilities the access from the top of the driveway is gravel and no stairs so it can get very tricky.

Thanks so much for your reply. This was when we first started so we had some hiccups. We have since built some stairs so the driveway is easy to access. The unit is a fully contained legal suite and says so on the listing, however. Thanks for staying!

About the host

Hosted by Austin Dunn

Host profile image
We are proud Okanagan locals and your hosts at our McKinley Landing retreat. We furnished this suite ourselves with the goal of creating the kind of place we'd want to stay: modern, comfortable, and quiet, with the hills and the lake right outside.

When we're not hosting, you'll find us enjoying the lake / on the local trails / and drinking the wine! We love sharing our favourite local spots, so don't hesitate to ask for recommendations, whether it's the best patio for sunset or which winery to hit first.

We're hands-on hosts and quick to respond. Our goal is simple: you arrive, settle in easily, and leave already planning your next trip back.

Why they chose this property

McKinley offers stunning lake and mountain views, with peaceful trails and private beach access right in the neighborhood. It’s a quiet, welcoming community that feels like a retreat while still being a quick drive to downtown Kelowna.

What makes this property unique

Our property stands out for offering exceptional value, combining affordable rates with a spotless, well-maintained space. Guests can enjoy comfort and quality without compromising on price or space.
