Summerland Retreat

Everyone keeps asking me where I have been travelling to this year, or where my next big trip is.  Well this year we have been busy renovating the house we just moved into, so it has been keeping us busy.  This just means that my travels have been a little bit closer to home.

 This past weekend we headed out to The Summerland Resort.  http://www.summerlandresorthotel.ca  We actually bought a unit here about a year and a half ago and  we try and get up here 2 or 3 times a year.  The units are condo style units with kitchens, and the resort has a great pool, spa, barbeque area, and small gym.  The restaurant here, "Local Lounge  Grill", is a great place to eat.   The resort is on a secluded area on Lake Okanagan.  It has a small beach in front, but there is a large beach a 5 minute walk away.  If you are energetic enough you can walk for miles along by the shore or head up the hill towards the small town.

Penticton  is only about a 12 minute drive from Summerland, and it is about  40 minutes  to Kelowna.
