If you want a lake view, I would suggest Osoyoos, Summerland, Peachland, or the Kelowna area.

Fish, Swim at a sandy beach, or Canoe in the Kettle River below.

Mountain climbing or hiking is just outside the door.

The Kettle River is a 15 minute walk from our front door.

Osoyoos is a 50 minute drive over the mountains with Alpine type curves.
Osoyoos is orchard country, with wineries and fresh fruit stands.

If you have had enough of city smog and pollution, this is your dream home.

Do the loop in a day - Osoyoos, Oliver, Penticton, Peachland, Kelowna on 97
and back down 33 past Big White, Beaverdell, and Westbridge.

Or go East on Hwy 3 through Rock Creek, Midway, Greenwood, Grand Forks,
Christina Lake, and Castlegar, down to Trail, and back through Rossland

Rock Creek - first gold discovered in British Columbia, and home of the
famous Fall Fair in September, with over 10,000 visitors.
