About this property

EXPERIENCE HOPE AT THE STAND EASY RETREAT

Our beautiful little "A" Frame is just a few steps from Kawkawa Lake near Hope, BC. It has just been completely renovated; new flooring throughout, fresh paint, and full bathroom reno. We are a short 90 minute drive from Vancouver where one can completely unplug and enjoy the scenery. There is an abundance of outdoor activities to do around the lake such as; swimming, kayaking, hiking, and more. If you have a boat, there are two different boat launches within a kilometer of the cabin.
In the surrounding area there are numerous adventures to take; Hell's Gate (Google it, it is amazing), Manning Park for summer and winter activities, Harrison Hot Springs, downtown Hope (carving capital of Canada), Othello Tunnels (stunning), many many hikes to take, gold panning in historic Yale, BC, and so much more.
The cabin has two bedrooms on the main level, both with queen sized beds and the loft has a queen bed. There is a full kitchen (minus a dishwasher) with an extra "beer fridge" in the garage. The cabin is set up for inside and outside cooking and eating with huge decks, front and back. The back deck has glass railings, two tables and a BBQ. There are brand new vinyl plank floors inside the cabin and it was freshly painted in 2023.
The backyard boasts a spring fed creek that is absolutely stunning and runs ice cold year round. There is an amazing fire pit area for campfires. In the summer, if there's a burning ban, we also have a portable propane fire pit so you will not go without!
We use the front yard for playing games like croquet, ladder ball and bean bag toss.
If you are adventurous, we have 4 adult kayaks and 2 child kayaks for use as well as a stand up paddle board. It's just a short walk to the launch to put the toys into the water.
In the winter, we are just a 45 minute drive from Manning Park Resort and some amazing downhill powder and some of the best cross country skiing in the world. There is an indoor pool in Hope just five minutes away. You won't be disappointed. Follow us on Instagram @stand.easy.retreat for more photos and videos.

Great place to stay
A lovely 'home from home' with everything we needed for a great stay. It was so helpful to be able to borrow the kayaks to paddle on the lake, thank you. The garden is beautiful with a deck and creek, with fire pit and BBQ. An excellent property and hosts.

Better than expected! Family time
We had an amazing week long stay here and enjoyed the lake, river and Othello tunnels only a short drive away. Cabin was immaculate and clean, great layout and everything we could possibly need was available. Playing board games and yard games were fun too! We very much enjoyed the back patio space in the early mornings and evenings. So peaceful & truly relaxing space! Kids and us loved the use of kayaks on the lake but didn’t catch any fish. Maybe next time :) Thanks for sharing this amazing little property with our family!

Wonderful, cozy cabin with everything you need for a weekend away. Absolutely loved our stay!
Beautiful property with so many fun things to do. The backyard is gorgeous, and having the kayaks to explore the lake is an added bonus. We can’t wait to return to this lovely spot!

About the host

Hosted by Kim and Dwayne Farlin

Host profile image
I grew up in Hope and have since moved away. Our family purchased this little piece of paradise a few years back because of it's proximity to Vancouver and my strong roots in the area. We absolutely love our "retreat" and encourage you to come out and give it a try.

Why they chose this property

We are steps away from Kawkawa Lake and our little cabin is spectacular in the summer and cozy in the winter. Whether you enjoy summer activities or winter activities, we've got you covered.

What makes this property unique

The backyard of our cabin is truly our retreat. A huge deck overlooking a spring fed stream and fire pit area is our "happy place".
