“Unique and friendly B&B - we felt like family!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2010
3
people found this review helpful

This AMAZING and unique B&B was actually designed and built by the owners' son, Tommy, who is one of the hosts. It IS a log cabin, and a well built, bright, comfortable, and spacious one at that. The architecture is awe inspiring.

The log cabin is located on a private acreage, accessible via a long winding driveway which gave the B&B an exclusive, private feel. We hadn't even pulled up when Uli, one of the hosts, came outside with a big smile and wave. He greeted us and brought us inside to meet his wife Priska and son Tommy, and also showed us his friendly dog and cat (they were both very quiet during our stay and we hardly knew they were there). It was amazing how quickly they made us feel like a member of their family. We sat and talked for a long time and were simply amazed at their story - they came from Germany and built the log cabin by themselves, taking almost 2 years! They make you appreciate the fact that their B&B is not just a beautiful log cabin, but it's their home and while you're there, it's your home.

They have 2 large, clean, and well maintained guest rooms with private bathrooms (including large deep tubs). The doors also lock from the inside for privacy - I should mention that we never felt we needed the lock but some people might find this important when booking a B&B. It's VERY quiet there and we had a great, restful sleep each night. When we opened our door the next morning, Priska had prepared a HUGE breakfast for us and the other couple - fresh fruits, yogourts, bread, butter, eggs, cheese, smoked salmon, juices, coffee, and tea. She even made sure that the smoked salmon was not at the other couple's table, as the husband was allergic. Everything was so delicious and believe me, you will NOT leave that table hungry! Too much food.

Priska and Uli gave us a key to the front door so that we could come and go whenever we pleased, and we had a large guest area to enjoy including a fireplace, heated floors, large deck, TV, and high speed internet. To be honest, you'll probably spend a lot of time just gazing at the log cabin - it's that amazing to look at. One thing to note - bring your chequebook or cash because they don't have a credit card machine... honestly don't let this little thing keep you from staying here. There's an ATM only 5 minutes away in the grocery store. This B&B is just too good to pass up for such a trivial detail.

It was very hard to say goodbye to Priska, Uli and Tommy. By the time we left, we felt like part of their family. We still do. We've never met such a friendly, warm, caring, hospitable family. Priska even loaned my wife her jacket on a cold day as she forgot to pack one. If you're looking for a B&B where you can enjoy wonderful stories and lots of laughs with a great family in a unique and private home, this is the place!

We will certainly stay here again the next time we visit the Okanagan. Thanks again Uli, Priska, and Tommy for taking us in and letting us join your wonderful family.

“Wonderful Stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 September 2007

people found this review helpful

Our first visit to the Okanagon was made very special by the hospitality of the Laux family who own this wonderful, and unique property. My husband and I had fist saw the Log Home on the internet, and loved the design and amenities. The property is located on top of a mountain, and the Laux family designed and built it themselves.

We got lost traveling to the Okanagan, as we were coming from Vancouver Island. Our hosts, Uli, Priska, and Thomas could not have been nicer about our late arrival. Our room was very spacious, modern, and we have never seen a cleaner bathroom ever! Our hosts provided many tips on sightseeing and things to do, and even took us hiking on their property. We learned a lot about the Okanagan, and the local wildlife in the area as well.

Priska's breakfasts were healthy, and very filling. Clearly, the Laux's run the B&B for the experience of meeting new people, and they display their European sense of hospitality at every chance. We look forward to returning when we next visit B.C.

“Wow! - what a marvellous Log Home Bed & Breakfast !!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 July 2005

My husband and I are from the Calgary area and decided to make a trip to the Okanagan Valley / BC in May 2005. It has been our first experience with a Bed & Breakfast - our expectations were in every point exceeded. We found the wonderful Log Home B&B in Peachland, overviewing the Okanagan Lake, on a secluded and private 5 acre property. The house itself is impressive and stunningly beautiful. The comfortable and spacious king size rooms each has its own private bath with shower or tub, a TV with VCR/DVD. And Art - my husband - was able to check his emails with his Laptop - because the B&B offers an wireless high speed internet access. We enjoyed the delicious and hearty breakfast every morning on the large sundeck. Priska & Uli - our very warm and friendly hosts - made our stay a pleasure and we wish we could have stayed longer. We don't have a doubt about where we'll stay on our next visit to the Okanagan. We can only recommend to stay at the "Log Home Bed & Breakfast" in Peachland, Okanagan, BC!!
