General overview
Excellent area of town! A quick 15 minute drive to downtown Kamloops - almost a country feel :) Great walking trails, biking, and hiking, etc. ! Close to so many lakes, both big and small, that are within a 20 minute to an hour drive! Kamloops can boast being surrounded by over 75 lakes! We can offer a beautiful area to spend your time, both on the deck or splashing in the pool on those hot summer days!
Such close proximity to go downhill and cross country skiing in the winter months. Skiers and riders in the Ikon Pass community will now have access to the welcoming mountain environment found at Canada’s Second Largest ski area ~ Sun Peaks Resort!

Guests enjoy award-winning downhill skiing, snowboarding and cross country in the winter. Sun Peaks Ski Resort's European-style village is nestled at the base of three mountains; Tod Mountain, Sundance and Mt. Morrisey.

We would love to spend time with some of our PLU friends. Whether you're passing through or spending time here we would certainly have you for a BBQ, spend time together getting to know one another. Always have time for a get together either at our place or a meet up. Could show you around the area and direct you on great lakes, ski hills or what not that you might be interested in! Anytime!!

Penny and Glen
We are open to travel anywhere. Been travelling for the past number of years, but with both of us now retired, we are wanting to see more of the world! Glen and I, for years, were Homestay parents for many students attending High School or University, We loved the opportunity to share our home and cultures with all the students, old and young, from around the world.
