Hospitality Description: Our home is built of an upper and lower suite. When we are not travelling we stay in the lower unit that is separated by a locked door on both sides.
The Upper unit is open for exchange any time of year & is composed of 3 bedrooms, large kitchen, living room, kitchen nook and bathroom. This area is open to All types of exchanges. However at the moment we are not ready to be traveling outside of north america, so any travellers open to giving a globe for coming to stay we are super excited to begin making our plans for next Fall 2025 to start our travel adventures.
Our Travel Goals is to build up a few globes or non-simultaneous exchanges for our Big Trip next Fall/Winter 2025. Our plan is to meander, making stops along the way with people we have done exchanges with, from the Okanagan down the Pacific side of the States, Stop in California disneyland for a week. Then keep going all the way down to Costa Rica. No time line as we will adjust depending on what beautiful people we have exchanged with over the next 10-11 months.
In the meantime we have just an amazing cozy home that we can not wait to make new connections and be able to offer some incredible memories for people/families wanting to come explore the Okanagan.
Our home is well set up for families & couples. Or even small groups.
Please reach out if you have any questions or are curious about doing an exchange! --Jen

Neighbourhood
Our neighbourhood is family friendly space. Located 10min drive to either of the amazing lakes our little town is nestled between. World class hiking and biking is in our back yard with lots of paths all over town to explore. The local Apex Ski Mountain is only a 45-60min drive away and is amazing to get up to for a day or there are short term rentals up at the hill for a weekend trip. (we can help with finding some rental options if staying at the ski hill is of interest)
Getting to my home
If you fly into the Kelowna Airport, we are approx an hour drive away. If you are flying in from the Vancouver airport, we are approx 4.5-5hours drive away.
In Penticton, our home is centrally located up a private and family friendly neighbourhood. Walking distance to the hospital and only a short 5-10min drive to the beaches and vineyards.
Nearest airport
Penticton Airport is only 10min drive away.
Getting around
We are located just out of town, there is a local bus that can transport you downtown or to either of the beaches. Also renting E-bikes in the summer is a fun option. Otherwise having a vehicle to drive is a nice option to be able to drive around to the many amenities in & around the Okanagan.

Front and Back yard are filled with flowers, food spring to fall and in the winter we usually have heaps of birds that flutter around in front of the large Living room window. They eat all the seeds left over & we have created a stick heaven for them to perch on. Great for watching wild life from the comfort of the living room couch.
Jen, my daughter and our puppy Leo (he's fully grown now.. he was just so cute had to add a picture :)
Little garden stone path leads to the large back yard where the sauna is set up for your enjoyment.
Our front door opens to an open concept living room, kitchen nook and kitchen area. We move the furnisher around depending on what we are wanting to do... right now it's set up to watch the deer, birds and people watching while having our morning tea. There is a Large Wall mounted TV with Netflix & Disney set up.
This is our kitchen nook that has an apartment sized freezer and looks out onto the large backyard apple tree. The desk is able to be moved in and out to use for work, dining or to play games.
Kitchen nook with a buffet style counter top that connects to the kitchen area.
Super large full fridge with full sized oven and cook top. So many choices of spices and oils to cook with, all within hands distance away. Safety features such as fire extinguishers are located around the house.
Heaps of fridge space for all your culinary creations
Past the kitchen leads to the hallway that has all 3 bedrooms and a hallway closet for extra towels, cleaning items, household tools.
Large bathroom with shower/bath & lots of open space for personal items.
1st Bedroom at the end of the hallway to the left is a Double bed with desk. Leo always playing & running around while we are taking pictures ;)
Second bedroom is a queen bed with lots of closet space and extra pillows for making a cozy sleeping nook.
Third bedroom is a queen bed with an adjustable Bed Frame that allows you to adjust the upper head and lower leg area of the mattress to your comfort.
Beautiful view of Okanagan lake (25min walk from our house or 10min drive to downtown)
Sam and I can't wait to have you come stay at our home.
We are excited too haha
Apex Ski Mountain is a short 45-60min drive from our house. There is world class cross country skiing and downhill, tubing, ice skating loop. Quiet and relaxing village with incredible skiing from Dec-April.
So much to see and do in the spring, summer and fall activities! Our weather here is warm (10-25 C) in spring and fall & summer gets hot (30-36 C) so it's amazing that we have lakes, river channels and forests all around us. Bike tours, Boats rentals, SUP rentals, winery and/or local brewery tastings are just a small part of what we have to offer! Check out the Penticton or Okanagan online to see what other cool things there are to do while you are here visiting!
Lots of heritage type areas to check out.. this is a museum and is truly amazing to go check out. Located on Okanagan beach
