Tucked into the heart of the Okanagan, our beautifully converted barn is a quiet sanctuary designed for rest, connection, and a return to simple living. Surrounded by nature and open skies, this space invites you to slow down — whether that means sipping your morning coffee in stillness, wandering nearby trails, or gathering under the stars at night. While the property feels like a peaceful escape, you’re perfectly located to experience the best of the Okanagan:• Just minutes from the airport for easy access• Close to two stunning lakes for swimming, paddling, and sunset walks• Surrounded by world-class golf courses• Endless hiking trails right at your doorstep• Convenient access to two renowned ski resorts for winter adventures The barn itself has been thoughtfully restored to blend rustic charm with comfort, creating a warm and grounding space that feels both cozy and expansive. This is more than a place to stay — it’s a place to reconnect:with nature, with loved ones, and with yourself. Whether you’re here for adventure, retreat, or a reset from busy life, El Refugio welcomes you.Tucked into the heart of the Okanagan, our beautifully converted barn is a quiet sanctuary designed for rest, connection, and a return to simple living.
