Idabel Lake Resort

The view was incredible! Comfy beds. Wood walls and floors (except for the heated tile floors in the bathroom and kitchenette. My puppy and I had a relaxing time. Its so quiet and quaint. We rented cabin #3 and it was a mental health game changer. On the 3rd day I wrote more than I had in few months prior. Top notch clean rustic. Just what I needed.

Firstly Idabel Lake itself is amazing and the resort has plenty of boats with which to explore it. Swimming in the lake was really enjoyable as well.

We stayed in Canyon Suite which was excellent. Really well equipped and comfortable. It seems from reviews and speaking to others at the resort that the standard of cabins is variable but ours was really good.

The resort itself is good fun, a bit dated in parts but well maintained. We stayed with our three teenage sons and we all had a great time.

The Kettle Valley Railway is nearby and well worth a visit.

Great Lakeside Stay

Nice spot to stay is about 40 mins outside of Kelowna. No cell service, if you’re looking for peace and quiet. Not sure why they bill in a “cleaning service” of $99.00 for a two night stay, as the rate per night is high enough.  Did mention it is no longer high season so why the high cost in the middle of nowhere. The booking agent then gave me 20% off, however still was expensive. It is located about 15 mins. down a gravel road, little community on its own. Private beach, great for canoeing on the small lake. Very peaceful.
 Stayed in cabin 1, which we thought had a queen bed and 2 singles. What they failed to tell us was the “singles” were bunk beds. Felt that was a little misrepresented after we talked to the person who we booked with, should have told us that. Singles are different than a bunkbed.
Close to hiking, biking and Thunder Mountain Race Track. We would book again but look at another cabin.

If Your Looking For Peaceful

This place was very peaceful and beautiful. Upon our arrival there was no one to greet us. When we got to our cabin the door wasn't locked and we could find no key. During the night we thought we heard mice. In the morning we found mouse poop. They quickly moved us to another suite but it was so dirty. They failed to provide us with toilet paper, dish soap, dish clothes, and cleaning supplies. It was a good thing that we had friends staying at the resort so I was able to borrow her cleaning supplies to clean the place. Not how I wanted to spend my time away.

Snowmobile Trip

Idabel Lake is amazing! the resort, however, is mediocre. On the hotel rating system, it's probably a 2 star. Cottage decks look like they're rotting. Beach is minimal. It has a couple nice docks and canoes. The lake would be fun to explore by water. We drove by to consider investing. One should also consider the altitude and that it doesn't get very warm in summer. I imagine it's a snow mobiler's / cross country skier's dream in the winter and has great proximity to Big White. 

Amazing lake, crappy place 

Do NOT go here!

This "Resort" (which it is not - don't let the name fool you) has to be the largest concentration of slum landlords in all of BC!  It is shocking owners can rent these places to the public in the condition they are in!  The entire place is old, run down and extremely dirty with no maintenance done in decades!   You can tell the owners don't have any money or a sliver of pride of ownership because they do not do any upkeep or renovations on their properties. 

Our friends rented Cabin 1, which was dirty and disgusting.  You could tell there had been mice in it.  We rented one of the "suites", which was laughable!  Both had garage sale bedding and old, outdated furniture.  No WiFi and when we tried to connect, we couldn't get through, but were charged anyway.  Decks are old and rotting - again with old garage sale mismatched patio furniture and rusting BBQs.  

Bird nests and bird poop were everywhere.  Windows were filthy and looked like they had never been washed from the outside.  Balcony railings were loose - you could tell the whole place is a complete disaster.  Sewage was bubbling up from the ground in front of the main lodge and the smell ..........  Apparently, they were having issues with the sewage lines??  Water from the taps is yellow/orange.  Bring your own drinking water.  

Row boats and canoes are free for all guests.  However, they are old, dented and most are leaking.  Oars and paddles are old also.  Life jackets that are provided are ancient and moldy.  Gross!

Residents and other owners were creepy and weird.  They would just stand and stare at us every time we were in the common lawn area or by the dock.  

RUN - don't walk away from this place!  Don't waste your hard earned money on this DUMP!

What a DUMP!!!!!

The lake is great, and having row boats and canoes to use is and added bonus. The fishing is good from the dock or from one of the boats but the suites are old, dirty and in need of repairs.  We found water and food waste in the bottom of the dishwasher and in the fridge, cobwebs above the stove and in all rooms, leftover hairs in bathtub and the handles to open the windows were broken so it was very hard to open, tape on the bottom of the windows with dozens of dead flies. We had water issues every day we were there, the water would shut off while doing dishes and taking a shower, not mentioning the issues that would cause with the toilet. The water is not drinkable so bring your own. The caretaker was not very welcoming and seemed to busy to listen to what you had to say. Wanted to ask him a question as he was walking by so we said " excuse me but do you ?" he cut us off there and said " I have a water issues what do you want ? !" The area itself is great, plenty of things to do and a lot more places to stay so please don’t waste your money here. WE WILL NOT BE BACK !! 

Do not go here !!!!!!!!!

We booked The Owl Suite for a weekend vacation with our family, and had relatives and friends making the drive to join us for the stay. The Owl is the highest end suite available on the resort. We have 3 kids aged 11, 9 and a 1 year old little toddler. At arrival, we were pleased to see the lake and the suite. 

The kids went fishing and canoeing and our vacation was off to a good start until we started cooking. The water had a brown colour and was filled with residues. We boiled it and filtrated it afterwards but the water was still coloured. We had to use it nonetheless because we had not brought any other supply since no notice of any kind had been given. Shortly after the toilet water started spreading all over the floor. We spent a half hour cleaning it up. We tried to join management to no avail at first so ended up having to monitor the situation all weekend. 

The day after, the sewage water started coming up the shower's drain with brown particles filling up the floor. Around dinner time we finally got a hold of a representative who casually informed us that the septic was backing up into the suite (as if it was a regular occurrence) and then ordered us to change room, right when we were hosting our guests and before the kids' bedtime. Did not offer anything to compensate us.  My wife was very concerned for our kids safety since we had been drinking some of that water (not knowing about the issue).

When my wife called back after the weekend to rectify, the representative who had been nice to us before was very cold this time around and instead of accommodating tried to blame us for the issue. There are lot of nice lake resorts in BC, I suggest not risking wasting a nice family vacation and go somewhere else.

Nice lake, sewage water for drinks, nightmare vacation, and a management team who doesn't care
