We cannot speak too highly of
Vanilla Tree House and wonderful hosts for looking after us so
magnificently. C. L., England Your home is a sea of
tranquility that helps us to shed the cares of the world. S. & S., WA My wife and I have been to
dozens of B&B’s in the Okanagan in the last four years, and Vanilla Tree
House is, without a doubt, one of the best. The view is spectacular; the
rooms are immaculate; the hosts are wonderful and the food is terrific. P. & S., Edmonton I suspect we will never forget
looking over the lake and chatting over a glass of wine whilst the sun sets.
