Lakefront house with stunning views & trail to private dock with lake access

IKES Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

As of November 19, 2020 the Provincial Health Officer has ordered: From November 19, 2020 until further notice, travel into and out of the Lower Mainland, which includes Whistler, should be limited to essential travel only. Essential travel within B.C. includes: Regular travel for work within your region and travel for things like medical appointments.

Nestled in the quiet forest with views and private access to Christina Lake, IKES Retreat has something to offer everyone. A short, private, trail down the hill takes you across the road and into 150 feet of private lakeshore with a large dock. Launch your boat once at the start of the week and enjoy your days exploring the lake, waterskiing, and wakeboarding. Moor your boat to the private dock at the end of each day, and walk up to the house to enjoy an evening out on the deck and taking in the views.

What's nearby:
Christina Lake's public beach (Christina Lake Provincial Park) is a short drive away, with free public tennis and pickleball courts and a children's playground nearby. There are a few restaurants and a local supermarket within a five-minute drive, as well as The Christina Lake Golf Club and Cascade Par 3 golf course. There is also convenient access nearby onto The Trans Canada Trail, Dewdney Trail, and the Kettle Valley Railway Trail for hiking and biking. Grand Forks is about 15 minutes away with more cafes, restaurants, and supermarkets.

Things to know:
Private dock on the lake. Please note that the walk to the lake is not accessible for people with limited mobility. It’s an uneven dirt pathway downhill through the forest. It’s not paved and it’s a 10-15 minute walk.

Parking notes: There is free parking available for 4 vehicles.
This rental is located on floor 2.

Dock details: AT THIS POINT THE PATHWAY IS UNDER RECONSTRUCTION !!!
Private Dock for guest enjoyment. Walk down the steps located at the bottom of the driveway. Follow the long pathway that will lead you down to West Lake Drive below. There’s another set of steps that leads down onto the road. Then turn right (South) and walk down the road past several gates until you see the “IKE’S” sign above the gate on the left.
NO ACCESS AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR, SNOW STILL ON THE GROUND.

November getaway
The cabin was lovely. The view spectacular. The access to trails and the lake, excellent. However we did have a couple of issues. The barbecue grease pan had obviously not been cleaned as it caught on fire when we tried to light the barbecue. Secondly, I think it was mentioned in past reviews that although access to a washer and dryer is advertised in the listing, they are actually behind a locked door. Lastly, the tv is an Apple TV which requires either an apple account and/ or purchase of a show from iTunes. We realize this probably isn’t much of an issue during the summer, but on a rainy November weekend, it would be kind of nice to watch a movie or something .

Nice but there were issues
A nice home but there were issues: - we were provided the wrong entry code so it was a very slow and frustrating check-in - the final few steps to the warf were very dangerous / no steps at all - not enough bath towels, toilet paper and garbage bags. We would have brought some had we known in advance - no clear recycling instructions - no broom - no fan in upstairs bedroom where it was hot

Overall really good. Yes yard needs some work but overall fine. Yes a bit of walk to lake but not that bad. Only con we could find was that there were no oven mitts for kitchen :)

Might be a nice place inside, but we never got to go in!
We rented this place via VBRO for 5 nights. With confirmation email in hand, we drove 9+ hours to the door of the property, only to find out that our reservation was never transferred from VBRO to VACASA, who actually is the rental management. Save yourself the trouble and rent directly from VACASA.

Great property. Beautiful setting. Even though a business trip we thoroughly enjoyed the home.
Had some trouble unlocking from door and still haven't received a call back from property manager. Other than that we would 100% stay here again,
