The Resort
This lakefront gated resort with 24/7 on site security also offers amazing amenities – 2 outdoor heated pools (including one just down from our cottage), 3- hot tubs, beach volleyball, tennis and pickle ball courts, mini-golf, barbeque picnic areas, fenced children’s playground and of course the many activities at the lake, aqua park, and marina. There is also an on-site store for necessities, and a newly renovated café with select grab and go options.

The lake is clean and clear. In the summer months it is quite nice and refreshing. A breeze floats by often and sailboats and water sports boats regularly travel by. Perhaps you’ll even spot the Ogopogo!

There are beautiful hiking trails across the La Casa development and gorgeous view point spots with places to eat and take in the views. The cottage sits adjacent to Fintry Park. This park is over 360 hectares in size and is a nature lovers paradise. Hiking trails and ATV trails connect into Fintry Park set right behind and beside the development.
Fintry Park’s official entrance is a 5-10 min drive from La Casa and offers an array of hiking ranges for many ability levels, beautiful waterfall hikes, amazing ATV trails and, in the winter, some of the Okanagan’s best snow shoeing and ice fishing.
The resort offers year-round enjoyment. In the summer, Fintry park has a boat launch, canoeing, wind surfing and scuba diving at the barge at Fintry park. The boat launch at the resort is narrower and a little steep. Fintry Park’s launch is a large boat launch for ease of use. While the pools close around Canadian Thanksgiving ((the pools and hot tubs are open May-October, with one hot tub open on long weekends in the winter months), Fintry Park offers amazing ATV trails, hikes and snow shoeing trails. There is OHV access right from the resort so you don't have to trailer or truck your bike, quad, or SxS to the Bear Creek OHV trail network which has hundreds of KM of trails that run around Terrance Mountain. At the top of Terrace Mountain there is an amazing 360° view of the Okanagan. There are also two ski hills within an hour to 90 min drive from the cottage for winter time fun. The furthest from us is Big White, which is a huge resort with many runs (about 90 minutes). Next closest is Silver Star in Vernon, another large mountain with amazing champagne Okanagan powder in the winter to explore. Both are family friendly mountains with ski schools and full services.

If you are wanting to explore the Okanagan, why not tour some of the world class wineries? The Okanagan is wine country. There are some of the best wines in the world made here in this region and the cottage is surrounded by vineyards from a 20 to 30 min drive away to suit your preferences. Some of these include Frind, Mission Hill, Quails Gate, Cedar Creek, Sand Hill, Volcanic Hills, Indigenous World, Mt. Boucherie, to name a few. There are also plenty of local fruit stands with local, delicious treats. You can also enjoy the night life in Kelowna, with restaurants, clubs, and bars for enjoyment.
