    a view of a vineyard with mountains in the background
    Christine R.

    This is my favourite winery to stop at when I'm driving through the Similkameen Valley. It's a family-run VQA estate winery, restaurant, and now B&B that makes wonderful, drinkable German-style wines such as Riesling and Pinot Auxerrois. The Riesling seems to be popular - they often sell out of it long before the summer's over. I also love the blends, such as the sharp and tangy Cuvee #3. They used to do more blends, but North American wine drinkers don't really go for them, so they mostly do varietals now. Crowsnest isn't found too much in liquor stores, but if you like white wines, definitely seek this one out. I haven't been to the restaurant, but the patio has a lovely view of the vineyards, mountains, and the family's very cute old border collie

    To say the schnitzel and spätzle were a spiritual experience would be an understatement. I have had amazing food in my lifetime, but I would rate this as my #1. I didn't want the meal to end. I am German and It's the best schnitzel I've ever tasted. Try the bubbly gewürztraminer or a local cider to pair. Terrific service, beautiful setting. I will be back at every available opportunity!

    The Pate Platter - beautiful lunch of pickles, pate, bread, mustard, and herbed butter.

    Unimpressed with the food and service. Not bad, but not special. Pricing would need to drop by ~20% to be appropriate.

    Staying at the resort, this is really your only choice for restaurant. Service here was pretty bad…read more We had made reservations and stopped by the day prior to double check they had the time right. Before we even got one word out, the host looked at us and said "oh you need a reservation to eat here and we are all full." Umm...ya we have a reservation, we were just asking a question! We confirmed the reservation time with him and inquired about being able to reserve a table on the patio as we were there celebrating a special occasion. He told us "no we can't save a seat outside, and most likely the patio will be full, you will have to sit indoors." Everyone was a bit offput by his unnecessarily snarky attitude but oh well. Fast forward to the next day of our reservation, we showed up for our 8:00pm reso and were told "oh, no it says here you already checked in for your reservation today at 5pm." We were super confused and assured them that we had indeed not checked in at 5pm and the woman said again "well, that's what it says here." Lol! They finally believed us that we were not having 2 dinners and found us a seat (on the patio!) The food took about 75 minutes to arrive. I ordered a tuna sandwich without bacon. It arrived with a ton of bacon on it! I pointed it out and the waitress said "oh sorry I forgot to ask them...do you want to make a new one?" Since our food took over an hour to come out, there was no way I was going to wait to make a whole new meal, so I just peeled the bacon off and ate my sandwich. No one else's food had mistakes but we were all disappointed with the service, disorganization, and slowness.

    I was pleasantly surprised as I went in with low expectations. First off, yes service here is not…read moregreat. We found just being direct was the best way, they are not the type of servers who will read your mind and follow a checklist. Ask for a jug of water and order right away if your starving. The 4 stars is more for the food and ambiance. Very nice view, beautiful twinkle lights. The food we had was great! Calamari was delicious, not over cooked. The Cobb salad had lots of ingredients and a great flavour! The ravioli (not a large portion) was delicious and rich (why there isn't a large portion) It was excellent Lastly we had the sticky toffee pudding. Tasted like Christmas. Was good, but nothing compares to the Rimrock in Whistler. All in all I left very happy. Just lower your expectations for service.

    Three words: Heaven on earth…read more Dave and Allison are the warmest, most welcoming people we know of. They are hard workers with an understanding of the delicate balance between work and play. Their home like a hug and a massage, and you feel it as soon as you arrive. The setting is on a hill in the valley, with the backdrop of the mountain around and some orchards below and Vineyards in the distance. With plenty of trees, a pond and some bog, this land is home to a lot of wildlife. You will hear quails calling in the day, and then crickets chirping and Coyotes yip-yipping during the night. Countless bird songs are the backdrop on this sound stage. The upstairs common area includes the kitchen, living and dining room, but mostly the breakfasts are served on the very spacious deck overlooking the fabulous view. Allison makes awesome Waffles, served with fresh local fruit and fruit creams, home made Buckwheat or Oat Granola, with choices like home made Almond, milk, or Soy. They serve only non GMO, Organic, and mostly locally grown foods and Dave makes really good coffee too. They are excellent conversationalists. Great listeners and always willing to share what they know about the valley and learn from the people they meet. They have a very wonderful energy. Downstairs we find a table with fixings for Tea or Coffee. Then the simple and elegant woodsy log cabin styled guest rooms with comfy beds, wood beamed ceilings and hardwood flooring. Each room has a sink, comfortable chairs to sit and enjoy the beautiful cross breeze you get from all the windows. The smell of the garden wafts in having an aroma-therapeutic affect that calms the nerves. The bathroom has a shower and a large tub set in front of a window with a breathtaking view. The tiled floors can be heated in cool times. I haven't been this relaxed in a very long time. Can't wait to return. :-)

Fresh peaches, berries etc. The back porch overlooking the Okanagan river Valley. This high sagebrush desert ( in this case of British Columbia) is very similar to where my Mom grew up in Utah ( Butterfield canyon) and also central Oregon ( Smith Rocks) where her folks spent the last 30 years. My Mom with early stages dementia was like a small innocent child savoring fresh fruits, milk, eggs and buckwheat pancakes. In the morning we could see coyote, deer and a proliferation of Hummingbirds. . Jeff

I had actually been here before about 10 years ago with my parents and also loved it then. But with a huge group of amazing friends and family it was over the top awesome. Overlooking Skaha lake and only 10 min to Penticton this place cannot be beat. It is a throwback to a simpler time. White-washed Greek villa style home with eclectic, randomly designed rooms. If you like consistency, wifi and satellite TV...please move on. This place is not for you. But, if you like to explore finding new things around every corner, enjoying the simple things in life like amazing food (the breakfasts are insanely good - i will venture to say the best breakfast buffet I have ever had!), strolls in the hills, wine and cheese in your own little corner with view, picking fresh fruit from trees (the most amazing yellow plums, apricots, pears etc), star gazing, late night hot tub and lounging by the pool... then please do not miss this place. I cannot wait to get back!!!

    A girlfriend and I were looking for a nice place to stay for a weekend wine tasting trip. Because…read morewe were on a relatively limited budget, we were looking for a place with a kitchen to cook our own food. But we were also looking for some creature comforts and hoping to find a nice place with a hot tub and grill. The Elm Tree Farm could not have exceeded out expectations more! The owners (who also operate the surrounding farm) were as nice as could be, including asking about dietary restrictions they might need to accommodate for the home made breakfast (a fritata the first day, french toast the second). The rooms themselves are back away from the house in a separate structure, so we didn't have to worry about disturbing them when we relaxed in the hot tub right outside our room after enjoying a few glasses of the wine we'd picked up that day while wine tasting. They upgraded us to the private suite for free since no one else was staying in the other two rooms at the time. The entire place was very clean and equipped with all modern appliances, while still having a beautiful rustic feel with all the wooden paneling and beams. The guest rooms are build right next to a small creek, along with a small sitting dock and rock alcove for some great opportunities for bird watching. We also had access to a beautiful field and a locker full of sports equipment (badminton, softball, baseball, soccer, golf clubs). We were initially a little hesitant since the farm is about 2km north of the center of town. But in the evening, we were sold upon getting in the hot tub and looking up to a sky bursting with stars. I would recommend this place without reservation. It was an amazing place.
