About this farm stay rental
At the heart of the Okanagan Valley's fruit and wine country, Mission Creek Country Inn is set on a sheep farm on Mission Creek between the historic log buildings of Pandosy Mission, Kelowna's first European settlement, and a regional park. The farm's 37 acres of pastures and woods are more like the Kelowna of 1909 when cattle and sheep were more common than today’s orchards and vineyards.
Our place isn’t luxurious in the usual sense; in over one hundred years of continual use the house has acquired some quirks and wrinkles. The farm, with its trees, pastures, flowers and animals is a special place which we feel happy to share with those who appreciate such things. That’s our luxury.
We’ve done our best to create a quiet rustic refuge for you to use as your headquarters to explore the Okanagan and experience a restful pace of life. You can visit the nearby wineries, golf courses, Okanagan lake, or the historic Kettle Valley railway’s Myra Canyon, or ride a bike on the nearby creek-side "greenway", then come home and visit out on the shady front porch—just like grandma usta do.
Owners Mark and Amber live in the basement and will do everything we can to make sure your stay is comfortable and relaxing.

Heritage house and very spacious.
Amber and Mark were very nice and helpful. We were 8 of our family. The house is big and confortable. A bit too warm in the summer heat with no A/C but definitely convenient!

This is our second time staying at the farmhouse and It served its purpose well. This historical farmhouse provides lots of space and large rooms, and a huge front porch for large family gatherings. We stayed during the heatwave, but there were lots of fans throughout the house. The setting is beautiful with the mountains, the valley and the roosters crowing while we drank our coffee on the front porch. There are so many nooks and crannies that made it fun for young children. There are lots of interesting toys and little rooms for kids. It’s not a 5 star hotel, but you won’t find anything as unique for a large family stay at this affordable price. Suggestions would be to have portable air-conditioners for the bedrooms during the heat wave. And a coffee maker. Thanks Amber and Mark! We hope to return some day!

The farmhouse is lovely and spacious. We stayed in a heatwave and not surprisingly there was no A/C but fans were provided in each of the living areas. The kitchen was fully stocked and the kids enjoyed the wooden toys of the play room. My favorite part was the back deck with daybed and views of the farm. The baby grapes were delightful. My only concern is that the hosts had full access to the house while we were there. We noticed that fans that had been left on were turned off when we returned indicating that someone had been on the rental floors. One night I was outside on the back deck and the host came up through the kitchen. Looked around the main floor, turned off a fan that was still in use, and headed back downstairs. I question why he came up in the first place and what he was looking for? Seemed a bit odd and invasive.

The house is a real heritage gem. Very spacious! The bedrooms are all a good size, and the main floor rooms are very large. The front and rear porches/verandas are wonderful places to chill out; you can enjoy the peaceful view and the tranquility of the country without getting sunburnt, because of the large overhangs.
Because of the smart overall design of the home, the lower floor stays relatively cool, even on a hot day; the upper floor bedrooms are very hot, though, and there is no air conditioning. Even though all rooms have good windows and screens, we found it difficult to stay cool on hot summer nights. There ARE fans for every room though, and that helps.
It was a place that we wanted to hang out in; sit on the couch and read books from the very eclectic library. No pressure to get out and find something to do, but if you needed to get out, everything was a short drive away; 20 minutes to the airport, and most things in town were about 10 minutes away, max.
Amber and Mark are really nice hosts and are easy to get hold of, as they live onsite.

This is the second time we have stayed here. It's a perfect meeting spot for three families, with lots of sleeping space, big kitchen and table, and so much space to play outside. Our family loves this property. The house is so fun with lots of staircases and unique charm. Comfortable, friendly hosts and quiet property for a great price!

The property was lovely. A very well cared for farm house. There was lots of room for our group., It is the perfect place for multiple families staying together. The patios are huge and welcoming and the kids loved the 'hammock hangout' patio in the back. I loved looking at all the interesting knick knacks and posters. Tonnes of stuff in the kitchen - you won't be looking for anything.
The owner does stay downstairs for the stay and comes into the kitchen to empty garbage and compost daily - which I appreciated, but perhaps a different group of guest may want more privacy. The kids were sad there were no sheeps and goats like pictured on the listing, but there were donkeys, goats and horses next door to see.

Excellent place and space.
Cleanliness should be improved. Besides that, very enjoyable place.

Our family of 9 (6 adults, 3 children) stayed for 3 nights, it’s a very unique heritage house, tons of space, bedrooms are spacious. You get the feeling that you are out of the city but only minutes to downtown. Easy access to the Mission Creek trail. This house has no air conditioning which was an issue as we hit a heat spell, owner has fans in most rooms.

It was adecent place , but cleanliness was an issue as wel as security, there was no way to lock oustside doors and with the host living downstairs, there was only a curtaain between us, other than that it could be a better place with locking doors and better cleaning, the balcony floor is in need of a good pressure wash, but I cant be toatally negative, the host were very friendly and the house does have alot of potential, for the most part we enjoyed our stay

We gathered from four corners of Canada to meet at this lovely, welcoming, roomy old home. The kids played comfortably in the house and yard. The large porch offers lots of great visiting space. The huge kitchen was great for many cooks and buckets of food. We were there during a heat wave, but with plenty of fans provided we managed to keep comfy. The large dining table easily accommodated us plus visitors, with a second large games table in the front room. We just had a super time.

Beautiful craftsman style farmhouse with unique features throughout. Creature comforts were lacking (no A/C, no basic kitchen supplies, no coffee maker) and no way to secure the premises when away. Owner/manager lives downstairs with direct access to the rental space blocked off only with a curtain. All in all a good stay and very affordable for the number in our party but definitely farmhouse.
5.0 / 5.0
This is a large house in a beautiful property nearly adjacent to the mission creek greenway. Right on the urban rural divide. Friendly helpful owners/managers live on the property. Prompt and effective communicators. Only downside is no laundry facilities. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

its a beautiful old house with lots of charm and we liked the location. Being it is old, it is noisy. We did find it odd that the owners had a direct connection to the unit with no lock. We came back on the first evening and the owner (we assume) was standing in the kitchen, only to make sure we were settled. Didn't bother me but some others thought it was a little invasive.
All in all. Good spot, nice big front patio. Well stocked kitchens. I feel like it was priced accordingly.

We were five adults and two teens and there was plenty of room for everyone to have space when we needed and large gathering space when we wanted to visit. The home is beautifully charming, with history oozing from every nook and cranny. We were all thrilled with our stay, absolutely recommend!

charming old farmhouse and property close to many wineries and other attractions. Wake up with the roosters in a lovely rural setting.

We did not stay.
The conditions were sub standard to the point I drove into Kelowna to buy cleaning supplies, the owner told us cleanliness is subjective
Grease, throughout the kitchen. Food smeared inside the fridge owner said he had had chocolate cake. I told him we didn’t need to know that. The bathrooms were filthy with fecal matter on the toilets and stains around the sinks. One gal felt she had to ask if the bedsheets had been washed. He said yes but didn’t reply when she asked if the duvet covers had also been laundered for our stay.
The outside property was littered with junk - hoarding issues?
I asked when the advertising photos were taken and he admitted they were not recent.
Fortunately, We were able to find accommodations in Kelowna at a hotel
For over 30 years, I have travelled using VRBO and have never experienced anything like this..
The owners did refund our money with the exception of about $180.00 which he said could not be returned. We believed this was the right thing for him to do.

The farmhouse is a unique space and is a great place for a big group to stay. The kitchen has lots of dishes and there is lots of space to visit and for kids to play. It's not close to downtown, but it's a beautiful spot and not too far from restaurants or wineries or activities in Kelowna.

The cast and crew of our show stayed here and we’re delighted! They loved the relaxed atmosphere and style of the place. They picked grapes off the vine and sipped coffee on the veranda. It was wonderful. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

A group of seven of us recently stayed here on a long weekend this summer - we wrote this review as a group.
On a brief tour of the house by the owner he stated there was no A/C. The online description of the property indicated that the home had A/C, so this was really disappointing as the weather forecast for the weekend was uncomfortably hot (it ended up being high 30’s to over 40) Each bedroom had one, sometimes two, small fans but when the outside temperature doesn’t fall overnight, the house never cooled off. We left our fans on during the first day when we were off the property and when we returned we found the fans in each of our bedrooms had been turned off and there was a note asking us to keep them off when away due to fire risk. It seemed like the owner was going about the house each day when we were out.
Had we known ahead of time that the owner had full access to the area we were staying and would be in that space when we were gone, we wouldn't have stayed here. Even if we overlooked the layers of dust in the bedrooms and on the grates of the fans, the mildewed shower curtains and grimy sinks and toilets, or cardboard jammed into the window frames as a replacement for real blinds, the boundary issues and electrical overload were the most concerning of all. We also think that the rental details online have since been updated to reflect that there was no A/C in the home.

We enjoyed our time and the character and novelty of the 1909 home. I really enjoyed chatting with the host.

An unique farmhouse experience with lots of charm and character. There are plenty of space indoor and outdoor, lots of bathrooms. Spacious kitchens and dining area for all 11 of us. The kids had a blast with all the connecting doors, toy room, and just chatting and learning with Mark.

A beautiful house with a lot of history. Very big, a lot of Space and a Nice front porche. We were 10 and had a lot of Space. It is very quiet as it is a little bit out of town. Mark and Amber took the Time to explain us about the house and every day they made sure everything was fine. Very good communication. In the equipment, it is written air conditionning but it is a mis take…if you read the text, it is written that there is not. The beds were very clean but we had to go over the bathrooms and some dishes as they were dirty. Otherwise, it was perfect!

Mark and Amber were hospitable, lovely and thoughtful. They were mindfully aware of privacy and helpful when we had questions. The property has so much good history and clearly the love and dedication of a community has gone into creating it's quaint and restful environment. The decor and amenities are so warm and inviting. Our children felt like they were in a beautiful farm adventure everyday. The hammocks and many spaces for reading and games was restful and well thought out. The beds were comfortable and all areas were well stocked. We cherry picked just across the road and there are all amenities within minutes including beautiful fishing creeks and biking trails. We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed a wonderful stay in this Mission Creek farmhouse. The house was roomy enough to allow for two families (and a grandma) to stay comfortably. The front porch was a huge hit with kids and grownups alike. There is a lot of stuff in the house, as mentioned in some other reviews, so finding space for groceries for a group of 9 was challenging but we made do. If you're looking to stay somewhere a little bit quirky, feel like you're in the country but with all the amenities of town just a couple of minutes away then this is the place for you!

The house was of course beautiful. Many places to sleep and many bathrooms to choose from. The location was perfect because it was a 5 minute drive to the lake or a 1/2 hour walk via Mission Creek Walk Way. We enjoyed every porch, every room and the well equipt kitchen.

We had a wonderful time here, our son got married and the house was so great to have everybody at one place. Yes the floors creaked but that’s what makes it unique, we did worry about the noise level as the owners lived in the basement but I’m sure they are used to the creaking. Such a nice time was had visiting as there is no tv to get distracted. Lots of board games and puzzles, the wrap around porch was our favourite place to visit with everyone and enjoy the outdoor. Day of the wedding, there was at least 20 people getting ready and it never felt crowded which we appreciated. It was a little strange hearing the owner at night coming up emptying the compost and what not but we were aware that this may happen reading another post but we never felt our privacy was invaded, wonderful people wonderful house, we will be back again one day

Our family had a wonderful weekend gathering together and we were thankful to find this reasonably priced VRBO - it was like stepping back in time to 1909. We had a big Easter Egg hunt in the front yard! We loved the character of the creaking floors and just spending time together washing dishes! AND thankful there were no TV's so we spent the weekend connecting with each other. Recycling was easy with Mark popping in and out assisting us with all our garbage!
2.0 / 5.0
As a group traveling out for a wedding this location was perfect. Close to downtown but just enough out of the way from the business of the city. The views and calmness of the surrounding area were perfect. The house is big enough for a group/ family and lots to look at in the old historic home. Creaky floors and hammocks add to the charm. The beds weren't great, but amenities made up for it.
