“Off Seaon Stays Receive Peak Seaon Perks”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2011

Not being golfers, we particularly enjoyed our off-season stay at the Cottages. One pleasant surprise: off-season stays come with peak season perks. Breakfasts were thoughtfully tailored to accommodate a food allergy, and Cottage services were top notch. The Cottages are situated to maximize views and the riverside location with rolling foothills and more distant snow covered peaks is spectacular. Situated mid-way on Highway 7 well past the urban sprawl of Metro Vancouver amongst the remaining visages of a rail or river commute, Rowena’s Inn is a miracle get away from the City … a short, and for the most part attractive drive to quiet bliss with the only evening distraction the opportunity to look at a night sky filled with stars. We stayed during the Eagle fest with thousands of Eagles drawn to the Salmon carcasses in the Fraser and other river tributaries. What a sight! The area offers several Estuaries, provincial and regional parks, and Forest Service spots. While the facilities at Rowena’s are geared to Golfers, I do wish they’d provide a walking map for the grounds and day trips from the site, as not all guests are content to sit by the fire or soak in the tub 24/7. I prefer an active holiday, with those more sedentary amenities appreciated at the close of the day. I’d also like to suggest that Rowena’s entertain snow showing and cross country skiing as options for the course trails once the snowfall sets in, and perhaps river excursions for Spring and Fall. One note: a few reviewers criticized the Inn based on maintenance issues. I found that unfair. Our maintenance concerns were remedied promptly, efficiently, and sincerely when we encountered a plugged kitchen sink and a water pump power outage. These aren’t issues that management could know about ahead of time. It takes a guests stay to reveal issues in need of remedy. At Rowena’s the remedy was delivered professionally and with immediacy.

Room Tip: The Cottages are all equally situated and appointed.

My husband and I just got married at Rowena's in September!
Everything was absolutely incredible!
The grounds were immaculate, green and growing!
The food was sooooo delicious!!!
The cabins were so private and romantic,
And the breakfast in bed the next morning-- to die for!!
The staff were incredibly helpful, patient and considerate--
Especially Kayla!!! That coordinator did absolutely everything to make our special day PERFECT!!

The venue had the whole upstairs set aside for the girls to get ready in the morning,
It was so awesome.
The staff came and asked all the time if we needed anything...

We had one amazing day, weather-wise, so the outdoor wedding was GORGEOUS!!
Thank you Rowenas!!!
I would definitely send anyone I knew that was getting married to go search out this venue!!!

“Exceeded our expectations”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

My husband and I booked a Stay and Play golf package at Rowena's Inn for his birthday. We chose to stay in one of their four cabins. We were delighted with our choice from the moment we arrived. The property is gorgeous and the actual Inn is stately and beautiful. A short stroll past the swimming pool led us to our cabin, complete with king bed, stone fireplace and a beautiful spa bathroom complete with heated slate floors. Each day of our stay we returned to the cabin to discover a chilled bottle of wine and lovely fruit and cheese plate. We knew that breakfast was included but when the staff person arrived at our door with a huge wicker basket we couldn't believe our eyes. Coffee, orange juice, yogurt, fresh fruit, granola, eggs, sausages, bacon, flapjacks, toast, two types of jam, syrup, butter, fresh baked muffins---and everything was absolutely delicious.
The golf course was literally steps away so the Inn and its cabins are perfectly situated.
The on site restaurant was also first class. The service in all aspects of our stay was spot-on, never patronizing or pretentious and always helpful and welcoming.
We would recommend Rowena's to anyone we know and we will definitely be planning a return visit in the future.

Room Tip: IF you are looking for a romantic and relaxing getaway, choose a cabin.

“Our wedding was a smashing success”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

My wife and I had our wedding there three weeks ago. We chose the cocktail wedding which meant the girls stayed overnight in the inn before and the guests arrived at the next afternoon. The setting is simply remarkable - landscaped, heritage manor, peaceful vistas of the river and mountains. The staff, esp Kayla, were very helpful in planning it out. The food and wine was outstanding and the service was efficient and unobtrusive. We stayed in one of their cabins after everyone left which included a remarkable hot breakfast delivered to the door in the am.
As always, weddings are not free! Remember to calculate in HST, gratuities, as well as the cost of the inn (required for the cocktail wedding) in your plans. The rental is less costly on a Sunday. Everyone who came thought it was the nicest wedding they'd ever been to and these are friends who would have told me otherwise.
My only regret is not eating more. Honestly, I don't think I have ever seen such a huge Brie cheese!

“Enjoyed every moment!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

My girlfriends and I absolutely enjoyed every moment here! We had all felt a bit caught up in the fast paced life in the city, and this place re-energized us to the core.

We had the most amazing time taking it all in - the cedar smell of our cabin, the out-of-this-world scenery (I couldn't believe it looked *just* like the photos shown on their website). Catching up by the fireplace over fruits, cheeses, and wine was fabulous. Soaking in the foamy full length bathtub with candle lights and massaging water jet...aaaah. The foodies in us gave thumbs up to the juicy lobsters, lamb, giant yorkshire pudding, and the dessert (must try the cinnamony fried pastry with vanilla ice cream!)

This place has coziness and luxury in just the right balance. It's romantic, uplifting, and rejuvenating all at once. Love it.
