Welcome to Happy Valley

A private corner of the lake, all to yourselves

Nestled on the famed Bottleneck Drive in Summerland, this ground-floor studio suite gives you everything you need and nothing you don't. 300 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space opens onto a 400 sq ft front balcony with a 180° panorama of Okanagan Lake that you simply have to see to believe.

Mornings begin with sunlight on water through the floor-to-ceiling sliding doors. Step outside to your private cedar hot tub — an Okanagan icon that's been roaring to life for over 40 years — and let the lake hold your gaze.

You're right on Bottleneck Drive, with 14 wineries within walking distance. Okanagan Lake beaches are 7 minutes away. Penticton is 20 minutes south. And when the sun goes down, the stars above Happy Valley are nothing short of spectacular.

"Absolutely stunning property. The hot tub with the lake view is worth the trip alone — we spent every evening in it watching the stars appear over Okanagan Lake. Judy was incredibly responsive and the studio had everything we needed. 10/10 would return."

"A perfect romantic getaway. The views are truly panoramic — you wake up and the lake is right there. The kitchen is well-stocked, the bed is incredibly comfortable, and the hot tub is magical at night. Bottleneck Drive wineries are a short stroll away."

"Worked remotely for a week from Happy Valley and it was the best 'office' I've ever had. Fast WiFi, quiet space, incredible views. Went for a hike at Giant's Head every morning and soaked in the hot tub every evening. Will be back every summer."

"The Okanagan wine country experience we were looking for. 14 wineries walking distance — we couldn't believe it. The studio itself is cozy and stylish, and the hot tub with that lake backdrop is pure magic. Judy's communication was excellent from start to finish."

"From the moment we arrived (look for the twin wine barrels at the driveway!) we fell in love with Happy Valley. The patio with 180° lake views, the private hot tub, the cozy interior — it checked every box. Judy sent us wonderful recommendations for local restaurants and wineries."

"Genuinely one of the best short-term rental experiences I've had. The attention to detail is lovely — QR code for WiFi, extra blankets in the wardrobe, condiments in the fridge. The sliding doors opening onto the lake-view deck made breakfast feel like a dream every morning."

FAQ

Good questions, answered

Yes — exclusively for guests staying in the studio. It sits on your private patio with unobstructed Okanagan Lake views. The hot tub is a cedar-sided original from the 1980s with character to spare. See your guest guide for full hot tub instructions.
14 wineries are within walking distance right on Bottleneck Drive. You are literally on the route. Pick up a winery passport at your first stop and get it stamped at each one.
600 Mbps high-speed Wi-Fi. More than capable for video calls, streaming in 4K, and all-day remote work. Credentials are in the Airbnb app and a QR code is also in the suite.
A proper, fully-equipped kitchen with induction stovetop, full-size fridge, microwave, and everything you need to cook real meals. Condiments are provided — help yourself.
You can see Okanagan Lake from the studio — it's the 180° view from your balcony and hot tub. The actual beach is 7 minutes by car. Penticton is 20 minutes south.
We have an easy Google Maps pin at bit.ly/hvr-directions. Look for the twin wine barrels at the entrance. Park in front of the large tree by the black metal archway. Important: If using Google Maps, make sure it doesn't end on Front Bench Road — that's the wrong side of the property.
