If you’ve ever wished you could slow down and actually live the Okanagan lifestyle for more than a weekend, our Extended Stay option at Summerland Waterfront Resort & Spa is made for you. Think sunny mornings on your balcony, relaxed dinners in your suite, and endless opportunities to explore local wineries, trails, and lakeside living.

Come along and we will show you HOW and WHY an extended stay could be exactly what you need.

  • Summerland Waterfront Resort suite studio interior with lakeview

Step 1: Design Your Everyday Summerland Sanctuary

Choose from two spacious suite options, designed for longer stays every year from October through April:

  • One-Bedroom Suite – Best for solo travelers or couples. Cook your own meals, enjoy the fireplace, and stay connected while working remotely — all with lake or mountain views. Many remote workers find the dining table doubles perfectly as a work-from-anywhere desk.
  • Two-Bedroom Suite – Great for friends, business partners, or anyone who wants extra space. Separate bedrooms and bathrooms make it easy to balance together time with privacy.

Both suite styles include weekly housekeeping service, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a private balcony so you can settle in with ease.

Step 2: Live the Lake Country Lifestyle

With more time in Summerland, you’ll experience the Okanagan like a local:

  • Wine Touring on Bottleneck Drive – Just 5 minutes to Bottleneck Drive wineries like Haywire, Sumac Ridge, and Dirty Laundry. Tastings are often under $15.
  • Local Trails & Nature – Walk the Lakeshore Pathway or hike Giant’s Head Mountain for panoramic lake views.
  • Seasonal Fun – Fall brings vineyard walks and harvest festivals. In winter, cozy up after skiing at Apex Mountain Resort, only 47 minutes away.

Insider Tip: Many extended stay guests say their favourite moment is discovering the quiet mid-week rhythm of Summerland when wineries and pathways are less busy.
