About this property

The Mallard - Waterfront Cottage with Pool Table and Boat Slip!

This yellow cottage is a few houses over from our red one (VRBO #555099). It has the same layout but with a 4th bathroom and larger deck!

Looking for peace and serenity without looking over at the rooftops of the neighbors? This gorgeous lake front home is located at the north end of Osoyoos Lake. The quiet area of the lake is a family friendly paradise for water sports and swimming! Of course, we are only minute’s away from Burrowing Owl and Black Hills Winery Estates if you like wine tasting!

If you are looking for excitement, then consider how close we are to the new Area 27 race track located in Oliver with 227 acres for motorsport enthusiasts! Area 27 Karting Centre has a world class facility guaranteed to get the adrenaline flowing.

In the summer, the local fruit stands and farmer's markets provide an opportunity to discover a wide variety of products including cherries, plums, peaches, apricots and nectarines. In the winter we are just 40 minutes from Mount Baldy Ski Area, and 1 ½ hours from Big White Ski Resort for all those riders that love powder snow!

Our two-level 2400 sq. ft. home is spacious enough to accommodate two families with room to spare. The spacious lay out gives water views from the living room, dining room, kitchen and three of its four bedrooms. With beautiful views of the mountains and lake, you can walk out onto an upper deck and lower patio to catch the rays of sun, or enjoy the stars at night.

A few steps down from the property takes you along a meandering path towards the dock, or to the 500 foot white sand beach, where you can enjoy an evening beach bonfire, play volleyball, or just watch the kids play in the sand.

Perfect family meeting place
We loved our stay here! It was the perfect place to stay so that we could all be together in one place. We took advantage of the golf courses near by, the many wineries around, the pool and hot tub and even the lake. The top things we enjoyed about the Yellow Cottage were the view, the deck, the pool table and the many comfy bedrooms and ample bathrooms. The hosts were very responsive, communications were clear and easy to follow, and we felt that if we had needed to reach out for anything, which we didn’t, they would have been quick to help! We hope to be back!

Clean and comfortable
This was a very clean and comfortable stay right on Osoyoos Lake. The cottage was well equipped and spacious for our group of eight, including toddlers, children, adults, and grandparents. We liked the location, just a short walk to the beach. We all really enjoyed the shady lower deck and hammock on hot afternoons. Our kids loved the bunk beds. Thanks for having us.

Amazing Stay
This house is amazing, it has everything you need to entertain the whole family. While we didn't have the best weather, we were able to keep the kids all busy with all the games in the house and at the pool (which was heated). We can't wait to plan our next trip already.

Great place for families
We were looking for a great place to hang out and relax as a family and this home fit all of our needs. Great space for us with the 4 bedrooms and nice to have the 4 bathrooms as well, let everyone have their own space. The location was great too. Access to many of the best wineries in the area was only a very short distance and we were able to visit quite a few. The home is very well equipped with everything you need, the beds were very comfortable too. The recreation facility was good too although the large pool was closed for the season we certainly made use of the hot tub, the gym and the pickle ball court too. I can only imagine how great this place would be in the summer. All communication was good as well and had no issues with the property when we were there so didn’t need to contact owners during our stay. Would definitely rent this hone again.

Osoyoos Summer Getaway
We just returned from a weeks stay at Mark and Tania's cottages on Osoyoos Lake. We stayed as a group of 2 families, 8 people including adults and teenagers. We had ample room for all of us to spread out and to be together. The whole cottage is well equipped and beautifully decorated. The cottage is in a wonderful location, there are very few people walking by so it is very private. We had our boat with us we happy to find out the cottage location is very close to the marina. The marina is very nice and very clean. We launched our boat at the public launch in town and stored our trailer at the public facility in town as well (pay by a parking meter per day). The teens in our group found a love for the game of pool and made way more use out of the pool table that I would have ever imagined. We only used the pool and hot tub a few times but I was surprised how well taken care of everything is and again how lovely and clean the facility is. The staff who work here do an amazing job and keeping things looking wonderful. We didn't realize that many residents own golf carts to get around the property (there are some really cute ones!) We talked to a woman at the pool who mentioned she rented one (not sure from where?) and had it delivered to her cottage. Maybe someone else can benefit from this information as if I had known, I may have done the same thing! Thank you Mark and Tania for a wonderful stay... if you are considering booking this cottage, just do it, you won't be disappointed.

Last Week of Summer Getaway with Friends
Our bubble of five spent 6 nights at the Yellow Cottage and welcomed in the first day of Autumn. The community is very well laid out and the grounds and facilities are well maintained. The Yellow Cottage is spacious, well appointed, and light filled- perfect for our group who enjoys cooking and the outdoors. We made good use of the family room and enjoyed signing onto our accounts on the Smart TV to enjoy some evening binge watching! This unusual year has kept us all closer to home but we plan to make a mid- September stay at the Yellow Cottage part of our future plans and would recommend it to our discerning friends and family

Nice relaxing getaway!
The cottage is in a great location minutes walk away from the beach and pool. There is a beautiful view of the marina and the beach from the back of the cottage which was nice to wake up to. Equipment was available for use for the beach which was convenient. While the main fridge wasn't completely working there was another fridge to save the day. Mark was very responsive and addressed all of our needs during our stay.

Outstanding cottage and experience
The cottage and communication with owner were both outstanding for our October 2019 stay. Wonderful location, beautiful views, and perfect for family or group vacation with four bedrooms and four bathrooms, great room on main floor and large family room in lower level. The property was clean, well maintained, and comfortably appointed. We would definitely enjoy staying here again in the future.

Perfect Place in Osoyoos
This gorgeous summer house was the perfect place for our annual family get-together this year. Fabulous location and all the amenities one could hope for. The pools were lovely & warm, with immaculate facilities, plus a lovely piece of the Osoyoos beachfront to enjoy. This waterfront cottage overlooks the new private marina, where we were able to moor our boat, and make the most of life in the Okanagan. We will definitely plan on returning again & again.

A little bit of heaven!
The cottage was beautiful and a perfect spot for our three-generation family reunion. It was beautifully decorated, well-equipped and the view was incredible! There was lots to do for everyone, from pool table to board games for all ages and the beautiful facilities that are part of the Cottages development. The cottage is larger than it looks in the photos and there was lots of room for 7 of us to be together or apart, which was perfect for our week-long stay. Being close to golf, hiking and vineyards made for a fabulous vacation. Mark and Tania were great to work with and very responsive. We would highly recommend the yellow cottage!

Very nice, large house with beautiful view
We really enjoyed our stay! The kitchen was well equipped and large with plenty of space for eating or cooking. Linens are high end and we had plenty of bath towels which were very large and heavy. We used the washer and dryer which made coming home much easier..,lol. The area is extremely well maintained: grass, beach, play areas. The Clubhouse pools were very clean and the adult pool was large. Our granddaughter loved both pools and played till WE were worn out. It's a bit of a drive into Osoyoos so we started grocery shopping in Oliver. Great trip!

Restful vacation in quiet community with beautiful view!
My family (two young girls, mother, nanny) teamed up with another couple to rent this house on Lake Osoyoos. We really enjoyed our stay in this community and the house. The best feature of the house is the upstairs balcony with the lake view. The house has lovely patio furniture to enjoy as we spent all of our time outdoors. The bedrooms are well appointed with comfortable linens. The kitchen is user friendly and we cooked many meals and ate dinners outside. I really appreciated the stocked pantry with sugar, spices, etc. There's nothing worse than renting a house and having to buy a full bag of sugar, etc for a one week stay. It would be great if there were a few more frying pans, chopping knives, etc as we really love to cook and were somewhat limited by the supply of those. The location of the community as well as the house within the community is really lovely. We were close to Osoyoos and Oliver and so close to Platinum Bench for fresh bread!! It was a plus being able to use the kayaaks and enjoy being on the lake. My kids loved playing at the playground and at the beach. There were a few issues with the central vacuum not working and the smoke detector going off (while no cooking, etc was occurring), but I spoke with the owners and assume they fixed those issues after our stay! It's a very cozy house and the owners are a pleasure to work with. I would certainly recommend it for a quiet family vacation. We hope to stay there again!

The PERFECT house for family or friends vacation, with a location that can't be beat!
We just stayed with our family at this amazing house right on the water! It has breathtaking views from the kitchen, living room, 3 bedrooms and the amazing upstairs and downstairs deck. We love that we are so close to the amazing beach and pool area. The marina is right out front as well if you have a boat. The setup for the house is perfect for family or friends group as there are plenty of rooms and sitting areas. They decorated and furnished the rooms perfectly. You are only minutes from some of the best wineries that the Okanagan has to offer! The owners, Mark and Tania, are great to work with. They always respond quickly if you have any questions. If you are looking for the perfect getaway in Osoyoos, this is the place to stay!

About the host

Hosted by Tania & Mark Hodgson

Host profile image
Our family of 5 enjoy the outdoors! We purchased this second cottage (our first one is listed on VRBO #555099) because we have extended family that love to travel out to BC. We want to share our space with others, because we believe that everyone should be able to discover BC and all that it has to offer. The lake views and serenity of the Osoyoos area is a gift that helps the soul feel rejuvenated!

Why they chose this property

Our kids love to swim in the warm lake, and enjoy going into the town of Osoyoos to eat icecream. We probably just love doing nothing but enjoying the scenery through the many trails, visiting fruit markets, and ending our days on the deck with a glass of wine.

If you are lucky enough, you will see the wild horses that roam along the beach, feeding on the tall grass by the east side of the lake. Sometimes they walk along the same road that you have just travelled
If you love basking in the heat of the summer, swimming in Canada's warmest lake, lounging and relaxing by the water with the views of vineyards, then you've come to the right place!

What makes this property unique

Brand new race track called Area 27 located in Oliver designed by international race car drivers. This facility allows you to drive your luxury vehicle at top speed!
