Glenoka farmhouse is a Bed & Breakfast in the South Okanagan that was built circa 1906 beside the old main road connecting Summerland's lakefront hub to other fruit growing communities north and south on Okanagan Lake. Today the new highway is a kilometer to the west, the fruit-laden barges, which carried produce to market, have been replaced by sailboats, swimmers and fishers. The lake remains a five minute walk away.

If you are searching for accommodations in the South Okanagan, stay at Glenoka.

A huge Horse Chestnut tree shelters our long front porch and extends to shade the 2008 addition of two Bed and Breakfast Guest rooms. Turn left at the Glenoka Bed and Breakfast sign on Switchback Road, dip down and to the right up our sweep of driveway to the shade between the Chestnut and the front entrance. Welcome.

The suite on the main floor has a private porch, is wheelchair accessible and is named the Pear Room. Upstairs the Plum Room has views of lake, orchard, fields and flower gardens. A buffet breakfast starts at eight, with a choice of fruit, muesli, yogurt, eggs, fresh baking and a hot dish. Wherever possible, our fruit, eggs and produce will be organic and from the farm. Our coffee, dairy and deli goods are locally supplied.

Our objective is to facilitate your holiday and business needs.Our Okanagan Bed and Breakfast has wireless internet, tour information and guest email. We will meet your bus in Summerland or your plane in Penticton and offer you quiet green space and nature.

Brian was raised in Summerland and Elsa's Grandparents were Okanagan pioneers. They invite you to share their five acres of orchard, veggie gardens, ponds and chickens and to have a chat with their five Black Angus steers in the back paddock.
