BC Weddings in the Okangan On Private Resort

The advantage of booking here at Cozy Cabins is that you can book in accommodation for your wedding party and guests, hold your ceremony and your reception here, all the while having the entire resort to yourself.  This includes a private lake, meadows, mountains and forest.

In the low season, we require a 2 night minimum booking while in the high season (July and August) we require a week long rental.  You must rent the entire resort if you plan on holding your wedding event here.  Our accommodations sleep a maximum of 47 people.

No we do not.  There is a provincial park 3 Km’s down the road that has both available for a reasonable price.

We can accommodate up to 80 guests total.  For every 25 guest above those staying at the resort, you will need to rent a port-a-potty.

Each cabin can accommodate 2 vehicles.  Above that, we can park up to 20 vehicles at the main lodge.  Someone from your group must be responsible to direct parking upon arrival and leaving.

We require a non-refundable deposit of $1000 for all group accommodations upon booking.  Six months prior to the event we will need 50% paid and then the remainder of the balance is due one week prior to the event.  A credit card number will be held for security purposes.

During our low season, booking all 7 cabins for 2 nights is $4200 plus all applicable taxes.

During our high seasons, booking all 7 cabins for 7 nights is $17,990 plus all applicable taxes.

In addition, there is a $2500 venue fee for both high and low season private events.

We also require that you hold an Event Liability Insurance policy which is specific to your event.  This is relatively inexpensive and ranges based on the size of the event (around $250) and you may have to obtain a liquor licence depending on how you are distributing alcohol.

We are often booking a year or more in advance for both our guests and events, therefore each payment is non refundable unless we can re-book your dates to another party.  If you want to change the date we will charge a 10% reschedule fee in most circumstances.

At present, we do not have a large common building.  You are welcome to bring in tents for your event. We have a large meadow by the lake that can easily host event tents.

We are only the site for the wedding, everything else must be booked and organized by you.  Eventually, we would like to invest in wedding infrastructure but currently, we do not have any.  All vendors can be chosen by you.

You can contact Jennifer Vass at 403-542-3454 to discuss dates and book a time to take a tour of the property if you wish.  Alternatively, you can fill in the form on this page and Jennifer will get back to you.  Once you agree on dates, Jennifer will send you the wedding contract and collect the deposit.

You are required to clean up after yourself once the event is over.  You can either do this yourself or hire professionals.  We expect you to leave the site and the cabins as they were found.

Yes, but it is catch and release only.  We saw one guest catch a 4 pound trout right from the lake.  Now, chances are you are going to catch a lot smaller trout but we've seen many children have plenty of success.  If the fish you catch isn't release quickly please don't just let it die (take it back to eat).

Yes!  We are very proud of our drinking water.  The water you are drinking comes from a well located right next to the lake which is fed by nature spring water.  In the "pump shed" we have a full water filtration system so that you can enjoy clean drinking water that's free from harsh chemicals!

All guests should bring their own bed linens, pillows and towels.  Don't forget to bring slippers, swim suits, hiking shoes, snowshoes/skates/sleds (for winter).  Bring warm clothes because the weather can change very quickly.

Check-in is usually 4 pm but on off-season you can request an earlier check-in and it will depend on how busy we are.  Check-out is usually 10 am and during off-season you can request a later check-out.

There are plenty of activities to keep you and your family busy while staying here such as swimming, fishing, canoeing, hiking, baseball in meadow, building sand castles, snowshoeing, sledding, skating or just relaxing in the wood burning hot tub or sauna.

Yes, we offer wood for you to purchase for both campfires and your wood burning stove.  You can also bring your own wood if you want.

We are located 20 minutes from Lumby, BC and right next to Echo Lake.  We are about 1.2 hrs from the Kelowna international airport.

Cozy Cabins is meant for families to come disconnect from technology/gadgets and reconnect with each other in nature.  A huge part of wellbeing is creating deeper connections with your loved ones.  But, we also want to provide other ways to relieve stress, remove toxins, and create peace.  So we've added a couple wood burning hot tubs, a wood burning sauna and in the future we will be adding more things as well.

A day pass gives you the ability to enjoy our property including the outdoor spa experience without having to book a cabin.  It is a new initiative we are trying out and will only be available certain days in the off-season.

Every cabin is unique so it is important you choose the right when for your family.  Some of them have lofts with steep stairs, some of them are right next to the lake, some allow pets.  So go through our cabins on the website to learn which one is best for you.  Don't worry that Cougar cabin has a private hot tub, we now have wood burning hot tubs available for everyone to use.

We are connected to BC Hydro but we just invested a lot of money into a solar system for both powering The Ark and most of the cabins.  We love the fact that we are a nature resort that is helping by producing our own energy from the sun.
