Liebe Yvonne, lieber Jörg,
ein herzliches Dankeschön, dass wir in Eurer wunderschönen Ferienwohnung unsere Miniferien verbringen durften! Eine Ferienwohnung wo alles 'stimmt': harmonisch vom schwarz-weissen Boden über die fein gebeizten Wände - passend im Ton - zu der tollen Beleuchtung. Das liebevoll zubereitete Frühstück (die Peperoni-Dekoration :-), das feine Brot und der Sonntags-Zopf! Delikat! Nicht zu vergessen: das Sprudelbad im eleganten Hot Tub mit der Traum-Aussicht nach Kelowna ..... Etwas speziell Schönes für uns: unsere 2 kleinen Vierbeiner Lukas und Noah durften bei uns sein. Am liebsten möchten wir Euer Haus in den Wells Gray Park 'zügeln': Aussicht auf den Trophy Mountain!
Herzlichst

Great hospitality and location. Our suite was very well appointed and we all had very good sleeps. Breakfast was fantastic with an excellent view of Kelowna, lake and the valley; it's hard to beat. I loved the hot tub and the dogs and feeding the cat 'Noodle' ham. I wish I could stay here for ever.

Great fixtures, great service, great location, great food, great dogs, great hot tub and great company!

We give this beautiful retreat two thumbs up, double smile faces and many gold stars ..... Your hospitality is so warm and welcoming. The setting and views from 'Eagles Nest' are superb!

Yvonne and Jörg,
What a beautiful accommodation settled up the mountain overlooking Kelowna. This was our first experience at a B&B and found it very relaxing and peaceful. Your hospitality was awesome, we felt so welcomed and comfortable. During our four day stay, we enjoyed hiking, wine tasting, golfing and our visits with you. So enjoyed listening to how this wonderful place came to be. We will be back and will recommend it to our friends and family. Thank you!

Liebe Yvonne,
nach einer wenig schoenen Nacht im Hotel in Kelowna scheint es der "Reisegott" ganz besonders gut gemeint zu haben. Wir haben schon viele Haeuser und B&B's gesehen, aber Euer Domizil werden wir auf einem der ganz vorderen Plaetze einreihen. Nicht nur die Lage ist atemberaubend auch der Ideenreichtum Eures Hauses ist einfach toll. Wenn wir tatsechlich einmal ein eigenes Haus bauen sollten, werden wir Euch wissen lassen, was wir von hier an Einfaellen mitgenommen haben. Habt Dank auch fuer die Gastfreundlichkeit, das leckere Fruehstueck und den Reiseproviant. Wir werden noch lange an diese schoene Zeit hier zurueckdenken und vielleicht fuehrt uns unser Weg nochmal in der Zukunft hierher...
PS: Wir sind uebrigens neugierig, ob ihr irgendwann noch einmal Euer Baumhaus baut... und wie dieser Traum aussehen wird.

We came to Kelowna to visit the wineries and try our first B&B. Myra-Canyon Ranch provided a true experience of "getting away". Unexpectedly far from downtown Kelowna, we were given a serene and beautiful landscape. We are more than happy not to go back downtown and just enjoy this wonderful place. Thank you for a great experience and a wonderful nights sleep.

als wir uns auf den langen Weg zu Euch herauftasteten, wussten wir nicht was uns hier erwartet. Wir waren völlig überrascht was Ihr hier in der 'Wildnis' für ein Kleinod auf die Beine gestellt habt. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt, auch dank Eurer netten und freundlichen Art, die Tiere mit einbegriffen.

Usually stay at my Mum's place in Kelowna. This is a wonderful treat and alternative. Gorgeous home/B&B. We loved being 'in the woods' - suits us best - quiet, clean. We will recommend to other travelers, especially bikers on the KVR. Loved the view, the suite, the tub (sorry for the late noise - but we were so relaxed) and the horse atmosphere.

Thank you so much for sharing your home with me during my stay in the Okanagan. Not only did you send me off every day with a breakfast all my colleagues were envious, you sent me in the right directions (wineries and artisan goat cheese!) and welcomed me home in the evenings with a hot tub and wonderful soft bed. Truly a pleasure.

Thank you for sharing your 'paradise'. You have created and captured everything that makes a wonderful 'home away from home' complete with all of the creature comforts. The knowledge that there was a warm hot tub awaiting my weany muscles made the trail ride - bumps and all - complete.

This is really a lovely place to start our vacation. We'll remember your very good and tasty bread (ask for the Bianca special!), the dog who traveled along with us for 10 km, the great sunset, the steep hills and your warm hospitality.
Een prima startpunt voor de KVR. De weg terug van Kelowna is een goede training, maar gelukkig brengt Joerg ons straks omhoog naar de trail. Het uitstehende ontbijt en het uitgebreide lunch pakket zal ons de hele dag voortstuwen naar Carmi Station. In 2 daagen voelden wij ons hier helemaal thuis. Afscheid nemen is zwaar, maar hopelijkstaat ons nog veel meer moois tewachten in Canada.

Yvonne and Jörg,
After a stressful week of executing our wedding, imagine our delight when we pulled into the driveway and saw the most beautiful home and magnificent views. The warm welcome from both of you and your pets was wonderful. Your knowledge of the area, your delicious breakfasts and your warm caring ways make Myra-Canyon Ranch more than just a place to stay. Whenever we were in the city we found ourselves saying "let' go home"! And of course, we always meant the Ranch!
Thank you for a wonderful honeymoon week.

This place is really cool! I hope we can come again, but next time longer. I liked the things that you hang over the beds in the tents (moskito net) ;-) I loved the idea that we get to sleep in tents!! It's a really nice view, the food delicious. Thanks a lot!

We arrived at the Ranch at the end of our 65 km cycle up the KVR with our 3 kids aged 9, 9 and 13. What a great stop on our trip! Great food, warm hospitality, sparkling conversation and a really cozy night's sleep. What more could one want? Well there was the spectacular view, the best coffee I've had this year and the fine wine. I should stop. I'm sounding like an infomercial already.

There was nothing quite like coming home every night on our getaway to this beautiful hideaway. Thank you so much for your hospitality, we couldn't have asked for a more wonderful place to stay.

Dear Yvonne and Jorg,
You have built a wonderful place to escape to. We were delighted to discover such a wonderful B&B that served dinner (!) along the KVR. After 3 days of riding this was a lovely spot to stay. The view of a bear on the property added to the excitement though he didn't visit us in the night. Your girls prepared a lovely breakfast. Dinner was soo delicious. We all appreciated the ride up the hill.

Big thank you for the reassurance for Bears, Lions and Tigers. Susan now is already cranked up to come back asap. This time in one of the tents. I was hope to use the facility in the barn but to no avail again because of Susan!! Stil, this past 24 hours here was incredibly refreshing, crisp and energizing. This is what I was expecting and got more!
The Best. Thank you for the warm welcome

Thank-you so much for an incredible week. I could not have asked for a better experience for my horse crazy girls. There is no better feeling (as a parent) to see your children so happy, so engaged and full of life! My only concern is that now, we may have to pursue the 'horse life' ourselves!!! Yckes! Your home is beautiful - from the Eagles Nest to the Outfitter Tent... it all has so much charm. We will most definately be back - perhaps we will try a winter holiday. All the best and do call if you are ever in our area - Joerg, - my husband would love to take you river kayaking!

In Eurem wunderschönen Haus haben wir leider nur eine kurze Zeit verbringen dürfen. Wir haben die Gespräche, die gemeinsamen Abendessen und Eure herzliche Gastfreundschaft sehr genossen. Der Waldspaziergang mit den Hunden war ein weiteres unvergessliches Erlebnis. Mit herzlichem Dankeschön verabschieden sich

Yvonne, so much beauty, so little time. From baling hay and chasing bears at 5:30 am to baking bread, I remain in awe. But then again the beautiful artwork and sleek, minimalist decor here combines the rough and neady with European sensibilities. Thank you for making me feel welcome. And of course I will never forget the three musketeers dogs.

Recipe to have the best B&B in Canada:
One personally designed wood house, an amazing view of the valley, five horses eating grass and three sleeping dogs, an authentic Yvonne, about ten contemporary paintings (the quantity is flexible), a spoon of sunny day, home-made bread to complete a great breakfast, a location near wineries and a so nice dinner with a winning team.
Thanks for all,

Yvonne and Jörg,
The framework of your home may be constructed of wood, but the walls and warmth of this place is bound in good company, laugther and bright open sky! Our company of six have thoroughly enjoyed your hospitality; rich breakfast, hot coffee, splendid views and an easy place to build a great sense of tranquility. The proximity to so many trails from your doorsteps has made for a brilliant launch pad for trail running, hiking and exploration! You are well placed here on the edge of town, and we'll carry this place in our minds and hearts when we depart.......which is all together too soon!

This is a amazing place in a beautiful setting. You could spend the whole day looking at the view. The rooms are fitted out to a high standart. The building itself is interesting to look at, as much of the structure is exposed.
Yvonne's hospitality has been great - and we love her home made bread!

Dear Jorg and Yvonne,
Thank you so much for creating such a beautiful place to come and enjoy all the 'goodies' in life. The food was delicious; the horses told us that your hay was 'haut cuisine', Rufus, our dog, was happy and confused with so many new friends. The two of us had time to relax and come close together. Thank you, we hope to be back!

Yvonne & Jörg,
We will definitely thank our daughter and future son in law for finding your place and giving us this gift of an overnight stay. You are in our backyard but a beautiful "quiet" escape from the pace of Kelowna life we lead. We will definitely recommend Myra-Canyon Ranch to all - not only fabulous location but outstanding people & delicious food. Love the use of wood & the "green" approach to your business. I am sure we will meet again.

This is such a beautiful facility with a close range to the Provincial Park. Very, very friendly people, great breakfast, nice invironment for our dog. Walks and trails are really close by so the dog enjoyed his stay as well. Gorgeous view, lots of things to do and to see. So quiet without a TV, really relaxing. Check it out on your own!

Wilderness, horses, dogs and beauty right before our eyes
Our room so great we slept safe and sound
And in the morning breakfast fit for a king we found
What can we say of your stunning wild castle
You have the magic; hospitality, the warmth, animals, the complete parcel!
