About this property

The Mallard - Waterfront Cottage with Pool Table and Boat Slip!

This yellow cottage is a few houses over from our red one (VRBO #555099). It has the same layout but with a 4th bathroom and larger deck!

Looking for peace and serenity without looking over at the rooftops of the neighbors? This gorgeous lake front home is located at the north end of Osoyoos Lake. The quiet area of the lake is a family friendly paradise for water sports and swimming! Of course, we are only minute’s away from Burrowing Owl and Black Hills Winery Estates if you like wine tasting!

If you are looking for excitement, then consider how close we are to the new Area 27 race track located in Oliver with 227 acres for motorsport enthusiasts! Area 27 Karting Centre has a world class facility guaranteed to get the adrenaline flowing.

In the summer, the local fruit stands and farmer's markets provide an opportunity to discover a wide variety of products including cherries, plums, peaches, apricots and nectarines. In the winter we are just 40 minutes from Mount Baldy Ski Area, and 1 ½ hours from Big White Ski Resort for all those riders that love powder snow!

Our two-level 2400 sq. ft. home is spacious enough to accommodate two families with room to spare. The spacious lay out gives water views from the living room, dining room, kitchen and three of its four bedrooms. With beautiful views of the mountains and lake, you can walk out onto an upper deck and lower patio to catch the rays of sun, or enjoy the stars at night.

A few steps down from the property takes you along a meandering path towards the dock, or to the 500 foot white sand beach, where you can enjoy an evening beach bonfire, play volleyball, or just watch the kids play in the sand. A clubhouse is shared amongst residents and visitors to this gated community, and includes 2 seasonal outdoor pools, 2 hot tubs, fitness centre and shared common room.

Perfect family meeting place
We loved our stay here! It was the perfect place to stay so that we could all be together in one place. We took advantage of the golf courses near by, the many wineries around, the pool and hot tub and even the lake. The top things we enjoyed about the Yellow Cottage were the view, the deck, the pool table and the many comfy bedrooms and ample bathrooms. The hosts were very responsive, communications were clear and easy to follow, and we felt that if we had needed to reach out for anything, which we didn’t, they would have been quick to help! We hope to be back!

Clean and comfortable
This was a very clean and comfortable stay right on Osoyoos Lake. The cottage was well equipped and spacious for our group of eight, including toddlers, children, adults, and grandparents. We liked the location, just a short walk to the beach. We all really enjoyed the shady lower deck and hammock on hot afternoons. Our kids loved the bunk beds. Thanks for having us.

Wonderful Cottage!
Spectacular waterfront views await you at this fantastic property. We all enjoyed the private beach at the lake and the pool with 2 hot tubs. There is also an abundance of quality wineries to discover very close by. A relaxing vacation all round.

About the host

Hosted by Tania & Mark Hodgson

Host profile image
Our family of 5 enjoy the outdoors! We purchased this second cottage (our first one is listed on VRBO #555099) because we have extended family that love to travel out to BC. We want to share our space with others, because we believe that everyone should be able to discover BC and all that it has to offer. The lake views and serenity of the Osoyoos area is a gift that helps the soul feel rejuvenated!

Why they chose this property

Our kids love to swim in the warm lake, and enjoy going into the town of Osoyoos to eat icecream. We probably just love doing nothing but enjoying the scenery through the many trails, visiting fruit markets, and ending our days on the deck with a glass of wine.

If you are lucky enough, you will see the wild horses that roam along the beach, feeding on the tall grass by the east side of the lake. Sometimes they walk along the same road that you have just travelled
If you love basking in the heat of the summer, swimming in Canada's warmest lake, lounging and relaxing by the water with the views of vineyards, then you've come to the right place!

What makes this property unique

Brand new race track called Area 27 located in Oliver designed by international race car drivers. This facility allows you to drive your luxury vehicle at top speed!
