It is an awesome location and waterfront venue. Relax on one of the two front decks overlooking the lake or dive off the dock for a swim. Enjoy the breathtaking view and soak up the Okanagan SUN! Modern clean décor and furnishing with comfortable beds will make your stay enjoyable. There is a propane firepit located on the large waterfront deck in the lakeside yard making it a fantastic family or groups gathering spot. The house is located a few feet from the lake so it is easy to dive in and cool off or to climb onto your favorite floating mattress or chair. The house is located in the city limits of Penticton and most amenities and shopping is a five to seven minute drive away. The Penticton main beach on Skaha lake is minutes away. It is a great set-up for 2 families with 2 living areas on separate floors and is an amazing location for 3 (or maybe 4) mature couples.

Lake and yard access is from the lower level of the house. There is a short flight of stairs down from the level yard to the gradually sloping sandy beach which is ideal for children. There is a new 80 foot aluminum dock with an L shape at the end and boat bumper rails and lots of cleats for DAYTIME tie up while people are in attendance at the property. There is a mooring buoy for overnight boat mooring or for when leaving the property. The house has four bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, with two separate living room areas - over approximately 2,500 square feet. With one King bed and three queen beds, this three level lakefront vacation home. There is a nice foamy available to sleep kids separately in a bedroom if you wish. The main flooor is level walkin from the garage and is a greatroom concept with a well equiped kitchen, living room and dining room and a powder room bath. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and gas range. The upper floor hosts the master bedroom with King Bed and large ensuite bathroom as well as two betweeoms wiht queen beds that share an enuite bathroom. Now for both summer and winter rentals we do provide full bedding linens and bathtowels for the number of guests specified. The lower level is walk-out to the lakeside yard and has a large living room with leather couches, 55 inch TV and high quality stereo and the 4th bedroom with full 4 piece bathroom located just outside the door to the bedroom.

The second fridge is ideal for extra food and beverage storage for our groups. We generally allow a maximum of six adults (older than 18) or four adults and up to four children (younger that 18). We can make some exceptions for the appropriate type of mature groups. It is great spot for three couples (or with permission for appropriate groups four couples) or two small families. The home could accommodate more, but we do not generally allow groups larger than eight and prefer a maximum of six adults. We do not allow any type of events nor large numbers of additional visitors. The house as two 55 inch TV's, although we don't know why anyone would watch TV in Penticton in the summer. A high quality stereo iwith JBL tower speakers is located in the lower living room and there is a compact stere in the main-foor great room. Both Stereos have Ipod/Iphone connection capability. In the summer of 2019, we added a propane fire-pit on the boathouse roof deck for guests enjoyment. This is an amazing feature to have in the lakeside; however, I note that due to extreme fire conditions in the okanagan in the summer, this feature is only available as long as guest do not misuse it and follow the rules of use. We were able to leave it in place all of the 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, so as long as guests use it respectfully and within the rules it will be available through 2023.

Penticton tourist attractions such as the canal between Lake Okanagan and Skaha Lake, the Kettle Valley biking/hiking trail, water slides, golf, horse-back riding, tennis, beach volleyball courts are all a very short drive away and close by.. Award winning Penticton and Naramata wineries and great golf are in the neighborhood. The house is extremely close to the Wineries in Naramata, Oliver, Summerland, Penticton and the Okanagan Falls.

Osoyoos and West Kelowna and their wineries are both less than 1/2 hour drives. As mentioned earlier, we do not allow events or more than a small number of "occasional" additional visitors above the number of registered guests on the property during the day or evening. So, I'm sorry but no you can't have an additional 6-8 additional people staying elsewhere come hang out on the property during the day. This is just not appropriate for the venue and neighbors. We do not allow pets of any kind on the property. There are nearby boarding facilities including the PENTICTON PET RESORT for dogs. If a pet (even a visiting pet) is discovered at our home you will be asked to leave immediately, and a forfeiture of your $1000 deposit and the remaining rent will apply. There is no smoking allowed anywhere on the property! Note: the dock is removed and stored along with the beachfront chairs and umbrellas in the second half of September and installed again by the middle of June.

The house was just ok but is located on a very busy road. So there is constant traffic noise. You are also taking your life in your hands getting into and out off the driveway. There are also a book of house rules that you must follow or the owner threatens to keep the damage deposit.

We had a family reunion with cousins from UK over here for a wedding. My family hubby, 1 brother, 1 sister and hubby and our daughter stayed here for 4 days. It was beautiful and had everything anyone would need. It was lovely and clean, beds were comfy and lots of room. A great deck area outside overlooking the lake. Ernie was very good at communicating things to me and left lists of places to see, places to eat and info on wineries in area. We would definitely rent this again for another visit.

Our 6-person Family Group thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful Skaha Lake property. The well-appointed and fully-equipped lake property came exactly as advertised and proved to be a fabulous "base" from which to tour the Okanagan. We appreciated our host's thoroughness and attention to detail as regards the use and enjoyment of all amenities provided. This, combined with the property's spectacular setting on Skaha Lake, made for a very special week. We have no hesitation recommending this property!

Nice place with great views!! Was unfortunate due to a few previous guests not respecting the boat house you have no access to boat house or water toys. Owner was quick to respond to questions and accomadate issues but has lots of rules so pay attention and read carefully

We loved staying at this property! Right on the water and the depth was nice and shallow - perfect for our kids! Plus it was close to amenities if we wanted to get out, but also the perfect place to relax for the day. Highly recommend!

This property was perfect for our family weekend vacation. Nice kitchen area, and lots of available outdoor seating. All beds were comfortable although my wife was disappointed that the jetted tub was unavailable. We hiked, biked and enjoy a chauffeured wine tour.

Great location, Ernie’s was fantastic at answering questions, very organized with Binder for important information we needed. Things were labelled through out the home to make sure we had a successful stay.
House is close to amenities. We stayed in off season so we didn’t have the opportunity to use all the wonderful outdoor items (fire, deck water).
The view was amazing we really enjoyed having our coffee and overlooking the calm waters.

We were three couples doing a week bike/wineries touring. The location was great for biking to Naramata, Summerland and Okanagan Falls. The house gave each couple their own bathroom. The kitchen was very well equipped and we ate in all nights for a week making use of the natural gas bbq many nights. Save On was close by for groceries. Had one really nice day so managed to get out into the lake too. Will recommend to friends visiting the area.
4.0
Excellent lakeside location that served us well to explore the Naramata bench, Oliver and other wine areas. Our evening night cap on the deck was delightful.. There’s no doubt it is tricky to get in and out of the driveway but the views are outstanding from the house, across the lake. Very well equipped kitchen and BBQ that served us well in preparing some great meals. Unfortunately we figured out the air conditioning system a bit later during our week as the bottom bedroom occupants heard the loud central air unit all night long. So that can be a challenge for light sleepers. But once we found our rhythm all was good. Overall a very good home that served as a great homebase for a fantastic week in the beautiful southern Okanogan area

We had two families enjoy this wonderful property for a week. House is very well stocked, owners were great and the view/ patios are even better. A great place to relax and enjoy some good lake time. Will definitely rent again!
5.0
Very clean and comfortable home. The owner is very responsive. If travelling with a boat recommend that alternate arrangements are made for your trailer during your stay. The property is on a busy road and the assigned trailer parking was a steep embankment on the side of the property, not useable for our pontoon boat trailer.
4.0
This is a very tall, narrow house with a great view and dock plus beach to access the water.
This is not a house you want to stay if you have any mobility issues are there a lot of stairs. There are many rules to follow with post-it notes around to remind you. We had several issues with electronic door locks not working and were disappointed to not be able to use the sliding doors on the lower level to get access to lawn, patio and stairs to waterfront.

Perfect for our family. Lots of bedrooms, and the lakefront is amazing! Thank you Ernie!

Great location, clean and spacious, communicative host. We enjoyed our stay, but did feel less welcome as guests due to the many post-it notes peppered throughout the house advising us what not to do, or what not to use.

A fantastic rental property. Beautiful views right on the water, and the kids enjoyed hours of swimming off the dock.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ernie's place. It's a great setup and being right on the beach is amazing.
