Similkameen Valley Resort

Welcome to Similkameen Valley Resort Guesthouse & Event Venue:

Check into your own desert-chic escape in the heart of wine country! Think vintage vibes, endless sunshine, and a little wild magic. Unplug, sip something local, lounge poolside, and let the Similkameen work its charm. Stay cool, stay curious — you may never want to leave (and that’s okay).

Guests here get the run of the place — and what a place it is. Between dips in the heated saltwater pool and toes-in-the-river moments, you’ll wonder why you didn’t check in sooner. You’ll also have access to:

  • A breezy dining area for lingering meals
  • Outdoor BBQ to show off your grill skills
  • Self-serve tiki bar
  • Seasonal Saltwater heated pool for your summer float
  • Hot tub for stargazing soaks
  • Riverfront access for that just-you-and-the-water vibe

Whether you’re here to chill hard or toast to something big, this suite gives you the perfect base — with killer views and plenty of charm. Check yourself in, kick back, and make yourself at home — this spot is made for independent spirits who like to do their thing. From arrival to departure, everything’s set up for a smooth, no-fuss stay. Just follow the easy instructions, and you’re golden.

 We keep it low-key and hands-off, but we’re only a message away if you need anything (or just want to say hi). Perfect for guests who love privacy, flexibility, and doing it their own way — with just the right amount of support when you want it.

Want to elevate your stay? Treat yourself to our handcrafted charcuterie boards and breakfast baskets made with fabulous local ingredients. Pre-order and we’ll have them chilling in your fridge when you arrive.

Have something to celebrate? Planning a little gathering, workshop, or retreat? Let’s make it fabulous. Just reach out to us ahead of time — all events need the green light before you arrive.

We offer custom packages for small shindigs, creative get-togethers, and unforgettable moments. Let’s dream it up together. We do weddings, too.

Similkameen Valley Resort
Details
Location Details

We’re not your average country escape. At Similkameen Valley Resort, we mix desert-chic style with laid-back vibes, mountain views, and just enough mischief to keep things interesting. Our days are for sun-soaked lounging, wine-tasting adventures, and the occasional cannonball into the pool. Nights? They’re made for stargazing, sipping something local, and forgetting what day it is. Whether you’re here to explore the valley, toast your way through nearby wineries, or simply recharge in cozy comfort, we’re all about making your getaway unforgettable—one laugh, sip, and splash at a time.

Located in Cawston between Osoyoos and Keremeos, BC, tucked away in the heart of the Similkameen Valley. Our lush desert oasis is a hidden gem offering a unique blend of tranquility, comfort, and natural beauty. Set on over 18 private acres backing onto the pristine Similkameen River and framed by the majestic Chopaka Mountains, our resort is an ideal destination for restful getaways, unforgettable celebrations, and everything in between.

Directions

If traveling east from Keremeos (about 8 km), turn right onto Sumac Road as you enter Cawston. If traveling west from Osoyoos (approximately 20 minutes), turn left onto Sumac Road in Cawston. Please note: there is a sharp turn off the highway — proceed with caution as visibility is limited and the turn is tight. Continue straight down Sumac Road for about 300 meters. Arrival & Room Access: As you arrive, pass Gate 1 (clearly marked) and continue to Gate 2, which is marked with a sign. Pull up to the fence at Gate 2, unhook the latch, and slide the gate to the left to open. Please be sure to close the gate behind you. Drive forward and park parallel to the barrels, following the posted parking signs to your designated area. Signs are posted throughout the property to help you locate your room. Each unit has a secure keypad lock with a keycard stored in a lockbox mounted just outside the door.
