Serine Oasis

Serine oasis just off the beaten path. Surrounded by nature and wildlife (Deer, Birds and Crickets). The perfect place to start the day and come back to after a day of wine touring and exploring the south okanagan. Highly recommended.

Just what we needed!

The High Chapparel guest house was perfect for our quiet get-away with friends. We loved being on the edge of the desert in this special part of BC. We enjoyed the solitude and proximity to nature yet it was a short drive to many great wineries. The guesthouse was very clean and comfortable.

Beautiful landscape

We loved our two days in this gorgeous setting—flowering rabbitbrush, Ponderosa pines, rolling hills. The cabin is extremely comfortable. Linda was very responsive and accommodating and a great source of information. We will be back!

Get a break from your busy life.

Property: Truly unique. Situated off the beaten track, an opportunity to listen to the silence, escape the busy life and enjoy nature at your front door. If you are here for the wine - you can start tasting in 15 to 20 minutes drive. Hosts: Linda and Bruce went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. Great detail to attention. They care. If you need entertainment: Bring a player with DVD's or download movies. The WiFi is limited. A good thing if you need time away from it all. Will stay here again.

Stay in wine country

We had a wonderful stay in the guest house at High Chapparal. We stayed with another couple(friends in our bubble) which was great fun. The location is what we all enjoyed the most, as the house is located on a ranch which is part of the Nature Conservancy so it beautiful and wild and very much a place for peace and quiet! The host, Linda, was easy to get hold of, and pleasant & helpful with any questions. We'll definitely be back!

Wilderness Oasis

Linda & Bruce have created a getaway that is no short of amazing! You are surrounded by wilderness and have the amenities of a high end hotel. We definitely will be staying here again - so relaxing and breathtaking! Stargazing, coyote symphony echoing in the valley, deer and bears walking by in the distance. Truly an incredible experience!

Beautiful retreat

High Chapparal was everything I hoped for in a remote-feeling get-away while only being a 10 minute drive from all the amenities in Oliver. The quiet time in nature was exactly what I needed to recharge my batteries. Thank you so much, Linda and Bruce!

Peace and Quiet in Wine Country

A wonderful place hosted by equally wonderful people. Perfect for complete getaway or home base in a fantastic part of our world -- the Okanagan. Everything has been thought of here, and the set-up is cool: two complete suites each for 2, with a shared kitchen in the middle -- really perfect for family of traveling couples. Great place!

Perfectly secluded

This was the perfect place for a quiet, relaxing escape after spending a day tasting wines and playing golf. We spend each night cooking on the bbq and watching the sun go down over the mountains while sitting in the robes. It was magic.

Spectacular View

My husband and I came to Oliver with our dog to have a quiet midweek getaway and this property did not disappoint! Nestled in the mountains only 5-10 mins drive from Oliver, we had an amazing view over the valley as we sipped our coffee in the mornings. Linda checked on us unobtrusively, respecting our privacy and bringing us extra cream as we needed it. Thankyou for a relaxing, beautiful stay!

Beautiful, quiet getaway in spectacular setting!

Great attention to detail in this property, including a complimentary bottle of wine (B.C., of course!) on our arrival. Host was super responsive to any questions we had before or during our stay. Beautiful place in quiet setting with large covered patio, BBQ, well-equipped kitchen and very comfortable bed - we'll definitely be back! Oh, and only about 10 minutes away from downtown Oliver for restaurants, groceries, wine-tasting etc.

Relaxing stay

We had a great time. The property was clean and nicely kept and the kitchen was very well equipped. We spent most of our time sitting on the patio and enjoying the view. It is close to wineries but far enough away from traffic and busy tourist spots. The property is located on a gravel road so make sure you have a vehicle that can get in there. We had an suv which easily made it up. Wifi is good but carefully monitor your usage as it’s limited. We would definitely stay again.

Wilderness retreat with unbelievable views

This small adobe style guest house is spectacular. It’s a hidden gem just short drive from the main town of Oliver. If you love only the sound of birds and wildlife, this is the place to unplug, unwind and relax. The place was spotlessly clean, great linens and comfy bed. Like ‘glamping’, without sacrificing any comforts. The kitchen is well equipped and makes it the perfect spot to go pick up supplies and your favourite wines and bring back to cook up and enjoy the views. Fabulous spot, cannot wait to come back again. Check in was easy and Linda was available and came to meet us when we arrived. We loved our stay.

Perfect and peaceful

We couldn't have found a better place to stay and explore the South Okanagan. From the comfortable bed to the star-spattered skies, this is a perfect home. My favorite day? Being out on the porch in the comfortable chairs reading, bird-watching and observing the occasional deer or bear in the hills. We will be back again for more wonderful hospitality and tranquil evenings.
