This is a great place to stay. 6 min walk to Downtown area & beach. 1 min walk to the KVR trail. Very close to the Naramata Bench. The host was very pleasant and backed good provided were great. Easy access to the unit and very private. The only cons were the the outside sitting area smells like Rabbit pee. Also, could use a bit bigger TV. Just a 24" monitor.

Interesting comment re: patio area. We do not have any rabbits in the neighbourhood so couldn't be that. We spent the last couple of days off and on the patio & couldn't smell anything yucky. Could it be a neighbour was fertilizing? The last guests who spent time on the patio said they didn't notice anything unusual. It has got us puzzled.......

The b&b had all of the amenities you could ask for -- everything from a coffee machine to yoga mats and beach towels! It was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. The host was friendly and accommodating as well. She even baked gluten-free muffins and included them with our breakfast to accommodate an allergy. A great stay overall!

Beautiful property and amazing people! My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the space (clean, well stocked, mint condition) and location of the house. Venture to the rear of the property and enjoy commanding views of Lake Okanagan it takes short 5 minute walk to the beach. We didn’t turn our car on once! The owners are very friendly and accomplished artists. We will return :)

This is a small (only three rooms), comfortable, immaculate B&B within a short walking distance of the Penticton waterfront, restaurants and shops and the Saturday farmers market. There are also several wineries close by, including the relatively new Da Silva Winery, which features a wine tasting bar and a fabulous menu a la tapas. The special was a paella for two, which proved to be delicious paired with a local Malbec. Cormier's owner, the talented artist and sculptor Kena, was extremely helpful and welcoming. Well worth a few return visits
