Why Josi & Murray Knodel chose Osoyoos
This home was owned by our mother Katarina. With the passing of mom in 2011 the home is now owned by her daughters. Great family memories are attached to this home and the family continues to gather here, reminiscing and creating more cherished memories. This was my moms wish, it brought pure joy to her having family and good friends gather here, filling the house with laughter, love and delicious food! Some updating has been done and more upgrades and enhancements will continue over the next year. There is 1 outdoor cat that resides on our property, she is well cared for and all her needs are provided for by myself. We are happy to share our family home and feel it is an ideal home for families and pets to enjoy time together and the beauty of the Okanagan. We invite you to our home to Relax and create some Great Memories.

The perfect property for our family reunion and only minutes from the beach and other conveniences!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was perfectly clean and well furnished with all the amenities our family of eight required. We also really appreciated the fact that this property is pet friendly as our small dog is also such an important part of the family. The kitchen was very well supplied with more than we needed. We loved the large deck which was perfect for meals, reading, and family board game time. The large spacious backyard and the supplied lawn games were also fantastic. We also enjoyed the fresh produce growing in the garden. What was also special was the "retro", yet modern feel to the property. Although an older property, you wouldn't know it. We loved the upgrades to flooring, artwork, some décor, technology, and painting that had obviously been done, but also appreciated the fact that the owners have preserved the 1970's retro aspect to the property through some of the furnishing and how the property has been stocked and equipped. The retro look and feel really made it feel like we were "going home" - for those of us who grew up in the 70's anyways. A nice blend of the old and the new really gave this property a homey, well loved feeling. We felt the love of the original occupants of this home, which the owners have taken deliberate steps to preserve.
super vacation
We totally enjoyed our stay that Casa Kocen again this year.
The house offered everything from the well-stocked kitchen to treasures from the garden and the orchard. It's location is most convenient - close to all the stores and only a short drive to the beach.
Thank you, Josi and Murray!
Silva and Joe and family
Fantastic!!!!!
Can't say enough about this place, my family and I had a blast during our week in Osoyoos and our home away from home was a big reason why. The house is super comfy with all the amenities we needed, and it was the perfect size for the six of us to spread out and feel comfortable. Everything was exactly as advertised and Josi was always available to answer whatever questions we had. Already looking forward to next year, we will definitely be back! (And so will our classy illustrations ;)
AMAZING VACATION RENTAL!!!
We had the fortunate privilege of renting this fantastic home for a long term rental this winter. We have rented other pet friendly homes throughout Canada and the United States and this home is beyond expectations. Josi and Murray have provided an exceptionally comfortable home...both inside and outside. The home is equipped with more amenities than you can imagine!!! Of course, to be greeted with a wine, cheese and fruit platter was unexpectedly wonderful. Quiet culdesac within walking distance everywhere was awesome. The yard was fantastic and we enjoyed many days on the deck or on the patio despite the winter/spring weather.
Our only misgiving with giving such a great review, that more people will want to book "our house"
A definite gem for snowbirds!
Very homely
Stunning gardens and everything you could possibly need in the house. We spent a lot of time on the outdoor covered deck (dining, relaxing and playing games) which has stunning views over the garden and vineyards beyond. The house has been very well cared for and has a lovely homely feeling - the decor could do with a bit of modernizing, but this didn't spoil our enjoyment one bit. Excellent location too. Highly recommend 👍🏻
"Home Away From Home"
This is one of the most amazing VRBO's I have rented. From the moment we arrived we felt like we were at home. We traveled to Osoyoos for our son's wedding and from making fans out of the program for our guests to use during the ceremony, making decorations for the venue to hosting friends and family we found the home spacious and equipped with everything we needed. The personal touches by the owners like fresh flowers, a chilled bottle of wine and a cheese and fruit tray were what moved it to amazing. I would love to return and spend some time in Osoyoos and explore the area and wouldn't hesitate to stay at this property again.
