Welcome to The Vella, a private modern carriage house tucked away on peaceful acreage in beautiful Tappen, BC. Surrounded by forest and valley views, this thoughtfully designed retreat offers a relaxing escape just minutes from Shuswap Lake. Start your morning with coffee on the covered patio, spend the day exploring the lake, nearby trails, wineries, golf courses, and local attractions, then return home to unwind by the gas fireplace or gather around the outdoor fire pit under the stars. Inside, you'll find a bright and comfortable space with vaulted ceilings, oversized windows, a fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning, and high-speed Wi-Fi. The two-bedroom layout provides a welcoming retreat for couples, families, or friends, with a king bedroom featuring a private ensuite with a walk-in shower, plus a second queen bedroom and a full main bathroom. Located on the same acreage as our home, The Vella is a completely separate and private space with its own entrance, allowing you to enjoy a peaceful getaway while knowing we are nearby if you need anything. Whether you're planning a romantic escape, a family vacation, or a longer stay, The Vella offers a comfortable home base to relax, recharge, and experience the beauty of the Shuswap.
