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.
Upper Level: Great room, kitchen, dining area, deck, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and laundry room. Details:
- Huge master suite with 1 King bed, private 4 piece en suite, with spacious glass shower, separate bathtub, and double vanity. Lake view and TV in room. A view of the lake will brighten any morning
- Kids room with 1 single/double bunk bed and 1 single bed – sleeps 4
- Open concept great room with unobstructed views of the lake, double french doors leading out to a large partial covered deck
- The open concept kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances and allows for meal time prep conversations with family in the great room or dining area. Enjoy indoor meals with friends and family at the large table that seats 8 comfortably, or 4 can sit at the kitchen’s granite island
- Partial covered deck with BBQ and patio set that seats 6 if you need shade
Lower Level: Entertainment area, 2 bedrooms, 2 bath. Details:
- Guest bedroom with 1 King bed plenty of windows to enjoy the view of the lake. 3 piece en suite, pull out twin couch and TV
- Guest room with 1 Queen bed with view of the lake
- 3 piece bath room
- Entertainment Area includes:
1. Pool table
2. Games area table for 4 with board games, cards, etc…
3. Large TV, with comfy seating for at least 6 people. Telus Optic TV
4. Double sized pull out couch for extra guests and pocket door for privacy
5. Double french doors lead you to the ground level covered patio with Adirondack style chairs for 5 with unobstructed views of the lake and a hammock for afternoon naps in the shade.
The internet connection is a fibre optic service dedicated to the property (wireless). Max occupants 12. Linens are provided. Please bring your own beach towels and toiletries (soap, shampoo, etc).
Rates quoted are inclusive cleaning but exclusive of boat slip rental (extra $50 / day). Consult with owner regarding boat slip after booking.

About the host
Hosted by Tania & Mark Hodgson
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!
