Great location!
The location is beautiful, easy parking, would be an even better place to stay in the summer as the cottage is just controlled by space heaters so it was a little challenging to keep the space at a nice temperature. Gorgeous views and cute decor, lovely fireplace, but no bathroom sink or vanity/mirror for getting ready, so definitely better for a short term stay. The hosts are lovely and welcoming but knocked on our door several times during the stay which woke up our baby twice on the first night, so maybe not the best place to stay with little ones. Definitely great if you are very social and not looking for a ton of privacy. They were very sweet and under different circumstances we would have been more social.

Sweet pleasant piece of paradise
Our family stayed at the cozy Smed’s cottage amidst the breeze and the lake for over a week full of resting and relaxing moments. Our hosts were lovely and generously shared their succulent tomatoes with us. Thank you for the opportunity you gave us to stay at your property ! We hope the next guests will feel as welcomed as we did :-)

Excellent Hosts, Beautiful Gardens, Very Close to Lake, Tranquil Setting
John and Caron Smed are excellent hosts. They are the kindest, most considerate, interesting, and friendly people I have met while using the VRBO site. They provide the guest with complete privacy. However, they will also invite guests to share dinner with them occasionally in their main home (they live on the same property). Caron maintains a beautiful garden that smells wonderful in the summer months. There is a large wooden outdoor patio, surrounded by gardens. The setting is completely tranquil. The lake is a 3 minute walk away. I would highly recommend staying here. I have stayed here for 2 months. Virginia Kloess

Enjoyed our Stay!!
Thank you so much for your hospitality. It was really special that we could bring our two girls (Keltie and Chloe) with us. Quick access to public beach and such a short drive to Gray Monk and Arrowleaf wineries.

Relaxing and cozy stay
My family and I really enjoyed staying at John and Caron's cabin this year. It's our second time (our first was in 2014) being in Lake Country. The cabin, though snug, provided everything that we needed. Some of my favourite moments this yea werer: enjoying the lovely peonies in Caron's garden, reading a book and eating lunch al fresco on the deck, seeing the magpies swooping about at the nearby winery (Gray Monk), and browsing the Kelowna Farmers Market, where I scored some alpaca leg warmers!! This was a decidedly "chill" vacation and it's exactly what I needed.

Very comfortable
The cottage was very comfortable and clean. I loved listening to the birds & crickets. I was able to visit some of my favourite wineries in the area. Caron & John were very warm & welcoming. I wish I could have stayed a few more days! -May
