The Blarney Place Retreat

This rental was very clean and nice. Beds were very comfortable. If you are doing recreation activity in Okanogan lake this property ideal. If you are visiting Kelowna or Vernon it is pretty remote from both places as its on the west/North side half way up the lake. Its doable but fyi. It is B&B style as the owners live on the same property upper level! Very private though.

Beautiful

Suite was immaculate and had everything we needed for our stay. Beds had nice linens and were comfortable. Large sitting area outside has a nice view and beautiful landscaping. Would recommend staying here!

Check in was professional and courteous, the host allowed us to check in an hour early. He had his phone number handy and said he was available 24/7 if there was anything we needed.Unfortunately, that was not honored. When we checked in, my husband asked where the thermastat was to control the a/c. Our host said there wasn’t one but the suite stayed quite cool and if it got a bit warm, his wife always kicked the air on in the night and it would also cool our space. Half way through the night, we were derenched, it was unbearably hot. We had taken all of the bedding off and it was still sweltering. We tried to open some windows but there wasn’t a single screen on any of them! There was a small ceiling fan that was quite ineffective...and only seemed to dismally fluff around the hot air. We texted our host a couple of times and had no response. We couldnt sleep, we tried calling but he didnt answer...yet we could very clearly hear them moving around upstairs above us. They turned the a/c on for a short bit but did not reply to us until the next morning saying they just saw our texts. The space was impeccably clean, which we appreciated immensely and it was reasonably equipped. Our host showed us that there was fresh milk in the fridge (which was an opened carton, half full) and a carton of eggs. There was bread and soup and mac n' cheese. After a very nasty night, we went to make breakfast but there was no cooktop ...so much for the eggs...more texts...more non response.
