Want to make your spring and summer travel plans more local?
Many Canadians are looking for places nearby where they can relax without the stress of airports, long flights and everything else. Fortunately, in Vancouver, there are only a few hours of attractions that are underrated by gems.
In fact, it took only 4.5 hours to ride a car from Vancouver to be the scenic Summerland in British Columbia, a small lakeside town in southern Ohio often obscured by its more well-known neighbors Penticton and Kelowna. But for those who know, Summerland is pure gold. This is where you can hear yourself thinking and even remember how to relax.
The best part? This is home to a resort, making this simple vacation feel like a complete vacation.
With on-site boat rentals and free cruiser bikes, this resort brings the best choices of Okanagan Lake to your doorstep.
Squashed on the edge of Lake Okanagan, Summerland Waterfront Resort and Spa is the only full-packed lakeside resort in town. Lake view, full kitchen, cozy fireplace and private balcony are standard. The resort’s lakeside gems hide in plain sight and also offers a heated outdoor pool, hot tub, gym and spa access – all materials for restorative retreats – minus jet lag.
Leisure by the lake, your way
Summerland Beachfront Resort makes it easy to get into the lakeside lifestyle, from paddling and kayaking to sunbathing on the private beach. If you want to experience the lake by boat or SUP, the on-site rental service at this resort makes it on-site to get on and off the water. Like to keep it dry? No problem – just grab a recliner and make the Okanagan’s sunshine heavy.
Hiking, drinking and discovering local gems
One of the best aspects of Summerland is its proximity to the outdoors. You can hike the giant’s head hill near the resort, rent a bike and cruise the lakeshore trails, or take the historic Kettle Valley Steam Railway. Adventures can also be found on the trails – Summerland and South Okanagan offer some of Canada’s most exciting wine and wine tour experiences. Local wine lovers paradise can be found within minutes of the resort on the Summerland Bottleneck Avenue, where 14 unique wineries will attract you.
A suite retreat that feels like home (but better)
After a day of exploration, nothing is better than a “going home” suite that feels like it’s designed for you. Summerland Waterfront Resort & Spa is Summerland’s only lakeside resort, offering a full range of experiences on the kitchen, fireplace and private balcony – offering comfort and flexibility for short-term or extended stays. Whether you are drinking local wine by the fire or watching the sunset from the balcony, it is a comfortable and comfortable feeling, and we can use more these days.
Absorb the view – Hot tub
If the balcony views aren’t enough, the resort’s two outdoor hot tubs, heated pool and spread sunbathing offer Okanagan Lake an unrivaled vantage point. If you crave extra indulgence, the on-site Ikhaya Day Spa offers massages and treatments only in your suite. With a distinct South African influence and atmosphere, the Ikhaya Day Spa offers an holistic approach to treatment, spa rituals and massages. Their full-service menu can be viewed here.
A relaxing family vacation
Yes, even with kids! The resort’s summer experience program offers treasure hunts, craft workshops and sandcastle competitions.
So whether you are planning a romantic weekend, family vacation or a solo reset, Summerland has a perfect blend of nature, comfort and charm. For those who want to relax a little bit, the Sunset Sips Sips & Snack Resort offers you an opportunity to enjoy wine, deli and amazing lakeside views, all from the cozy suites. It’s the ideal way to relax, explore locally and attract everything Summerland has to offer.
