Avis Impeccable 3 bedroom cottage / Sought-after "The Cottages" on Osoyoos Lake

Relaxing, clean, great location a short walk from beach. Overall great stay.

We loved our 3BR + loft cottage and its' private backyard patio space. Although it was one of the further cottages from the pool/beach area, the private space was worth it (other cottage patios look across to other homes across a narrow greenbelt) and it was still a very pleasant walk along a landscaped paths to both. It was very well equipped, the furniture was tasteful and in great shape and there was lots of space for our party of 7 to spread out. The owner was very easy to communicate with, and any minor issues/questions we had, Maria would respond quickly and was always available to help. Being nearer the entry gate, we were easily able to jet off to the wineries nearby. The Cottages at Osoyoos are a 15 min drive from downtown Osoyoos so bring anything you need when you arrive so you don't have to run into town all the time. We did this and never had to drive downtown once this visit. We would happily stay here again next summer!

We love the amenities available at The Cottages and would visit again but probably a different unit. Pros: excellent communication with owner; unit is tucked in the corner so lots of privacy (but also very far from the beach when it was hottt); kitchen well stocked (but knives were very dull) Cons: we arrived at 4pm to a car blocking both parking stalls for the unit. It was the cleaners and their son(?) was rude and told us to just wait. Not a great start when we can’t check in at check in time. Then when rest of our group arrived (6 adults, 4 kids - all of which were included in the booking) we realized there was no bedding/blanket/pillows for the trundles or pull out. Owner called their property manager who pulled out a locked bin of random sheets but it was up to us to figure out the right sizes and make the beds. Beach towels were advertised but only had 3. Just don’t include it if you say guests are stealing them. Long list of things to clean up prior to check out yet the prior guests had not - bbq was filthy, cabinets had crumbs, and floors needed a good mop!

Easy check in, clean and had all the supplies needed for a great family vacation. Beautiful home, great location. We will definitely be back!
