The house was in a great location and the views of the lake were breathtaking!
Great host to deal with! Spectacular views of the lake! House was well stocked, and clean. We rented a golf cart which also made the overall experience that more enjoyable to get to and from the lake. You would not go wrong renting this property! We will be back!

Gorgeous view and all of the amenities
We had a great time even through the smokey days. It's an absolutely beautiful view and it had everything that we were looking for. Akram is an exceptional host and went above and beyond when we had left something behind. We will definitely look forward to coming again.

Fun times at La Casa
Nicely kept cottage with a very nice view of the lake from a good size patio. Kitchen had adequate dishes, pots, pans etc….and some useful other items such as spices. The lake front had 3 large floating trampolines in the water that kids and adults enjoyed. The pool and hot tubs were enjoyable at the end of the day. Looks like the grocery store is changing hands in October…hopefully the next occupants will fair better. This was our second stay at La Casa and the general store has disappointed each time. Poorly stocked and this time when we decided to treat kids to ice cream we were disappointed with the ridiculously overpriced tiny scoops. Hopefully, the next occupants will do a better job and not be so stingy! All in all, we had a good time and we really enjoyed bbq nights on the patio of this particular cottage, fantastic view!

Family Adventure Trip
We were so thankful to be able to vacation at this wonderful cabin/home. The view from the deck, eating area and living room were amazing. The cabin was fully stocked and spacious for all of us. The resort area is great for families, with a short walk to the pool, mini golf and hot tubs. We all enjoyed exploring Fintry waterfall and biking the Kettle Valley Trail. Heading back to the cabin felt like heading back home. Thank you Akram for allowing us to create wonderful memories for our family. Marisa N. Crescent Beach, BC

Stunning views
Had a wonderful stay here for 4 nights with my partner and my mother. The views are spectacular and the property comes with a full kitchen and all needed amenities. Prompt and friendly, responsive owners. The only caveats were the noise levels (July 1 long weekend) and sound of vehicles and motorized carts used at all hours of day and night. Also, you must be prepared to drive at least 30 minutes to the nearest town with shopping and restaurants. The property could comfortably fit two couples if one couple was willing to use the downstairs bathroom and leave the upstairs bathroom to the other couple. The loft would be suitable for an older, mature adolescent or teenager but there's no door to that room so they'd have to be comfortable with that. Overall, a very enjoyable stay with great exercise walking to from the lake access.

Highly recommend this cottage!
We had a fantastic stay at Pura Vida Lakeside Retreat. The cottage was sparkling clean and stylish. It was well stocked with everything we needed to make meals. The view of the lake is absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed having access to the pools and hot tubs and we took advantage of the paddle board rental as well. Akram was so helpful and really easy to get in touch with. The cottage was a great base to explore the Okanagan and visit wineries. Thanks for having us!

Amazing Cottage! You will not be disappointed
This cottage & amenities of the La Casa community were both absolutely amazing. The cottage had everything you needed for a comfortable stay & the views from the patio were just breathtaking.

Wonderful cottage with amazing view
My wife and 2 small children stayed for 4 nights. Upon entering the cottage we were immediately taken back by the amazing panoramic view of Lake Okanagan. The waterfront is a short distance away and we enjoyed the warm water and floating trampolines. We took advantage of the pool by the general store as well. The cottage is beautifully furnished and we should have stayed longer!

Definitely as beautiful as the pictures show
We were fortunate enough to stay a week in this gorgeous cabin. The details put into it is amazing. The view is breath taking and the resort itself made the week incredible. Far enough away of the city to enjoy a tranquil vacation yet close enough to enjoy all major attractions.

About the host

Hosted by Akram Jalali

Host profile image
We have been calling the Okanagan our second home for the past 15 years, and we finally finished building our very own cabin in 2016 at LaCasa Resort! Our family comes up frequently to get away from our busy lives in Vancouver to enjoy the beautiful Okanagan lake, and some world class wine!

Why they chose this property

We are very excited to share our favourite place with everyone! Our family spent a long time building this lovely cabin, and putting our unique touches to the place. We hope you enjoy it as much as we have!
