About the host
Hosted by Caron Smed
We love the Okanagan Lake so much that we purchased this property in Lake Country, BC with a Carriage House located on the property. We love water, swimming, fresh fruit, close by all amenities, walking trails, etc., great location. This area reminds us of the Italian coastline and enjoys many fruit trees, wineries, lakes, and amusements nearby. Kelowna area is one of the most sought after travel destinations in the world for golfing and wine tours and winter skiing.
We moved here and designed the gardens with herbs like orange mint, sage, fennel, dill, parsley, and tomatoes. We also love to grow flowers so the property has a fruit salad apple tree (4 kinds), blueberry bushes, redbud, roses, and lavender and fragrant lilies. The Casablanca is my favourite.
This area is historic and adjacent to the property is an 800 year old fir tree which is antique and a heritage specimen. the neighbourhood has been around for 100 years and has a museum in the 'old school', cafe and old fruit packing building that is active cleaning and packing fruit. The paddle boats used to travel the Okanagan Lake with fruit from all the neighbouring towns and clean and pack and send out by railway before the Highway 97 was built.
For history buffs there is the book written on the beginnings of Carr's Landing and this area.
The city of Winfield celebrates each weekend in the summer music concerts in the parks in the area.
There is so much for kids to do at the Kangaroo Park, skate park, water park, farmers markets, Davidson Orchard and petting zoo, Oyama Zipline, and miniature golf, bumper cars, and race track and batting cages.
Golf is amazing here from Tower Ranch, Predator Ridge, The Quail, The Rise, to Kelowna Springs just to name a few top notch challenges.
Swim, bike, walk the lake paths under the sweet smell of pine.
Rent a boat at Turtle Bay and explore Wood Lake and Kalmalka Lake, water ski, or park and have a beer at the pub near Vernon.
For bird watchers there are quail.

Why they chose this property
SUMMER and WINTER FUN
HISTORICAL AREA
We first came to this property to spend time with family and enjoyed it so much we decided to purchase. There is an antique Fir tree (800 years old) behind our property, a museum which is a historical site where the orchards were planted 130 years ago.
We have a quiet neighbourhood where you will be able to get a good nights sleep and off to the wineries. Visit the many wineries as close as a walk up the hill to Gray Monk and Arrowleaf. Sun bathing, clean refreshing water, walks along the 20 mile waterfront or bike challenges on the windy hills are all here for you to enjoy.
FRESH ORGANIC PRODUCE in Winfield on Fridays and in Kelowna on Wed and Saturday mornings.
This property is in a historic area from the early century.
There is a very special neighborhood and it is friendly. The beach is so delightful to sit and read by, go for a dip, or boat in. There are many places to explore right here.
We are still enjoying bike trails on the new Oyama Trails and also in the Kettle Valley where you ride on the train tressels with panoramic views below and the lakes from a distance.
We ski in the winter at Silver Star and it is spectacular. Cross country, snowshoe, and cliff climbing.
Food here is wonderful and tasty.
FRESH ORGANIC FARM EGGS
BLUEBERRIES ORGANIC
CHERRY TREES @ Walter Franks
PEACH TREES and other fruit at Wendells Orchard (Carrs Landing)
APRICOT Organic TREES @ Bryant FARMS (Hare Road)
and many more fruits at the markets both in Kelowna and Winfield.
Artisans are active here: painters, sculpture, ceramics, and more.
First week in Sept there are many artists gather in the town to display their art.
My husband and I grew up in Calgary, AB and we never experienced country living. We did not know what we were missing.
Great place to eat and explore many wineries. Gray Monk (walking distance), Arrowleaf Winery and outdoor picnic, and Naramata Bench for red wines.

What makes this property unique
Featuring : Arrow Leaf Winery...
is "Our Family Favorite" walking distance and has picnic tables for wine and cheese, children included and a gorgeous view as well with a NEW PATIO with light snacks served for adults to enjoy.
Arrowleaf judged the number two winery in Canada at The Nationals.
posted Dec. 2015
The WineAlign National Wine Awards of Canada is this country's most comprehensive and reputable wine competition. Highly respected judges blind-tasted 1408 wines from 205 wineries and awarded platinum, gold, silver and bronze medals. Based on each winery's performance, they compiled a list of this year's top 25 wineries in Canada. We are thrilled to have won 5 gold, 2 silver and 2 bronze medals, making us the number two winery in Canada! We have made it into the top 25 before, but being so close to the top is an achievement we are very proud of. Congratulations to the winery of the year, Mission Hill Family Estate, and to everyone who made the top 25.
Golfing is Fantastic and we are close to many and yet in the country where you can enjoy a swim after a hot day golfing. Wine Touring or visiting sights is always more enjoyable knowing you can cool off at the beach for a quick swim.
Being close to the water.
The water here is cleaner, larger, warmer climate and longer
growing season. Tall pine trees scent the trails and there height and stature are beautiful.
Everything grows here in this wonderful climate.
Boating is spacious and good for fishing.
Quaint, quiet, therapeutic, warm sunny days, beautiful countryside.
Night stars, no street lights, and visits around the campfire, setting a table with Casablanca Lilies from my garden, roses, lavender, lilac.
Walking to the museum and cafe for a cup of coffee. Experience the pioneers from the past at the museum and park as you pass a 800 year old tree in our back alley.
Local produce, artisans, artists with products unique to this area.
Walks in all seasons along the waterfront
