2 sites · Lodging1 acre · Kelowna, BC
2 minutes away from the Kelowna Nordic Ski and Snowshoe Club and 20 minutes from Big White!!!! This brand new, eco-friendly waterfront chalet is situated right on Hydraulic Lake. Private and secluded from the hustle and bustle of the city, but a short drive to every possible amenity. Only 30 minutes from groceries, bistros, and restaurants, 40 minutes from Downtown Kelowna and 15 minutes to the first lift at Big White. Or explore the nearby Kettle Valley Rail Trail and Kelowna Nordic Centre! This gorgeous home boasts soaring 23 foot cathedral ceilings with floor to ceiling windows that showcase the unobstructed lake view. On the open concept main floor there is a beautiful real-stone fireplace, modern bright kitchen with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, 1 powder room, washer and dryer, living room (with a pullout sofa-bed) and a giant master bedroom with a crib for families travelling with a baby, a walk-in closet and a luxury ensuite bathroom with a giant standup shower. The upper level open-loft offers another comfortable seating area to enjoy the stunning view. The upstairs area also includes a full washroom, a very large second bedroom with a queen sized bed. There is a smaller - yet functional third bedroom with a twin over double bunk bed (sleeps 3). The upstairs sofa also converts to a twin size bed. Outside you’ll enjoy year round unobstructed views of the lake, a private hot tub, a natural gas barbecue and a wrap around covered deck. Regardless of which season you are visiting, you will not be disappointed with the breathtaking panoramic view! This Whistler type Chalet Panabode style home will give you the feeling of being one with nature, but with all the modern luxury finishes, with 4 season activities at your doorstep! Winter fun: Big White ski lift is only 15 minutes away! The ski resort has been really well designed , it offers fabulous ski-in ski-out convenience, includes shops, cute bars and restaurants, and other facilities. There are many other activities to enjoy including tubing for the kids. For the cross county skiing or snowshoeing enthusiasts, you are steps away from the unlimited paths of the Kelowna Nordic Ski and Snowshoe Club! The Kelowna Nordic Ski and Snowshoe Club has been providing a unique ski experience since 1977. Rustic facilities, friendly club members, and 75 km of beautiful wooded ski trails, coupled with state-of-the-art grooming and track-setting, define the club. The icing on the cake is the 65 km of snowshoe trails, many with panoramic views. I have 3 sets of snowshoes available at the cabing for gusts use. Please feel free to use them! They are are suitable for individuals weighing between 70lbs to 275lbs. Being steps away from the lake has its winter benefits! If you are interested in ice-fishing, Mccullogh lake is known for its rainbow trout and kokanee. I do provide an auger and basic fishing gear and I respectfully request that only those familiar with its operation use it. For summer fun: Those of you who enjoy hiking, biking or walking will be thrilled as the chalet is located on the Kettle Valley Trail with the backdrop of Myra Canyon. After more than a century since the first tracks were laid, the KVR routes are alive and well, though not in the way that was first envisioned. The route loops through 500km of beautiful southern BC terrain, and has been converted into a walking, hiking and biking trail. There are several access points for the trail steps from your door on McCulloch Lake. Being close to the water in the summer months, definitely has it perks as well! On those hot summer days you can cool off with a refreshing dip in the clean fresh lake. Fell free to also use the provided Kayak, paddleboard or the aluminum boat, electric motor and basic fishing gear. Life vests are provided for guest wanting to take advantage of the water vessels. It is also important to mention that in British Columbia, fishing licences are mandatory. Please do not use the fishing gear if you have not obtained a license. You can apply for a daily permit online. This is a very small family orientated community that was built with nature in mind. Its a beautiful place to unwind and enjoy what the area has to offer. The cell service and wifi connection are limited. Noise bylaws are in effect. Please ensure you are speaking quietly while outside anytime after 10pm. Sound really travels over the water. Remember to be respectful of your neighbours :) Please take note that the cell and internet service isn’t the best up at the lake. The chalet is a place to unplug and relax :) Rogers and Fido seem to have the best connection.

Dog-friendly a-frames in British Columbia guide

Overview

It’s hard to describe British Columbia as anything other than wildly breathtaking—quite literally when you swim in one of the province’s many turquoise glacier lakes, ride a wave, or catch a glimpse of a bear in the forest. For camping experiences and road trips, BC offers privately operated campgrounds and RV parks; a major network of parks with reservable and first-come, first-served tent camping sites; yurts and cabins; and thousands of recreation sites and trails on beaches, lakes, mountains, and meadows. Thanks to the mild climate and some winter huts, camping is possible year-round.

West Coast

The Pacific Ocean runs along the length of BC, offering plenty of oceanside spots to explore. On Vancouver Island, Tofino and Pacific Rim National Park are famous for cold-water surfing, whale watching, and hot springs, while nearby Ucluelet is a fisher’s paradise. Further inland, campers can find riverside camping in Squamish; backcountry huts around the resort town of Whistler; and reservable tent pads overlooking the jewel-toned Joffre Lake. For a true off-the-grid experience, head to Haida Gwaii's Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve—set about 100 kilometres off the northern British Columbia coast, this area is only reachable by sea or air.

Northern British Columbia

The northern part of the province is all raw, rugged beauty, with unique culture and untouched natural beauty. Soak in Canada’s second-largest hot spring in Fort Nelson, watch salmon spawning in the many rivers, and peek at bears catching some themselves at Kleanza Creek Provincial Park in Terrace. Options for outdoor stays include vast wilderness resorts, remote cabins, and private beach, lakefront, or rainforest campsites—but note that cell service and WiFi are rare in these parts. Bonus: Given its far north location, it’s relatively easy to snag last-minute campsites that still offer peace and quiet.

Cariboo Chilcotin Coast

With a blend of history, wildlife, adventure, and expansive grasslands, the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast is true Canadian countryside. Campers come to this wild western spot to spend time in the Great Bear Rainforest and at alpine rivers (whitewater rafting is big here), but travelers usually also visit lakeside fishing lodges and historic Gold Rush towns such as Barkerville. Tweedsmuir Provincial Park is a prime spot for the chance to spot a grizzly bear.

Kootenay Rockies

Set in the province’s southeastern corner and part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site, the Kootenays are home to four national parks: Glacier, Kootenay, Mount Revelstoke, and Yoho. Here you’ll find unrivaled wildlife—think black bears, mountain goats, and elk—much of which can be spotted even from the highway. Throughout the region are glaciers, peaks, waterfalls, and quirky little towns such as Golden, Cranbrook, and Kimberley, the highest in Canada at 1,113 meters up. Camping and tenting is typically open between May and September, with limited winter options.
