Gorgeous place
A lovely, clean, comfy, quaint house. We loved sitting on the veranda with a glass of wine (from the many wineries, some in walking distance) watching the birds and smelling the flowers. Cute coffee shop 3 mins walk away. Very well stocked kitchen, some nice touches on check in. Very responsive and helpful owner, quiet neighbourhood. We'll definitely stay here again.

Amazing visit
My partner and I recently got married in Naramata and Edens cottage was the perfect place for friends of ours to stay. The house was so clean and the backyard was lush and peaceful, the perfect place for an afternoon barbecue. My friends felt very at home there and we will definitely be back in the future! Martin was very communicative and made the check in and out process simple and straightforward.

Lovely house in a great location
Went for a women's get-away weekend for 3 nights, went to farmer's market, got picked up for a wine tour and had a great time. A bit cold for a hike, but it was a comfortable place to hang out and visit.....and of course drink gin and wine.

Needs a deep clean
The location of the home is great, close to town and a short drive to great wineries. The home is well stocked for the most part, we did however need to buy a few basics like tissues even though the instructions book mentioned there should be some. Access was easy, we received the lock code shortly before arriving after having to prompt the owner. The real problem was cleanliness. Overall the house was filthy. Most surfaces had been wiped down, but the floors were dirty, there was mildew build-up around the faucet and drain in the bathtub, the couch and armchair were filthy (not the white ones in the listing photo), and the list goes on... The worst offender was the coffee table (different than in listing photo), which when I touched had sticky who-knows-what all over it. I had to spend a couple hours on arrival cleaning several areas, which was frustrating as i'd paid a cleaning fee and the fact that there's still a pandemic :( Outside on the patio there are nice looking grape vines - unfortunately they've not been tended to, and leave tons of grapes all over the patio, table and chairs making the area unusable. This is likely due to the nightly visits from racoons who arrive for a meal. The grapevines are so overgrown and intrusive they're damaging the home. We did a daily grape sweep, but all the ones crushed into the patio need to be pressure washed. I also used some pruning shears to cut back some vines to make accessing the back door easier. There's a playhouse in the backyard for kids which was nice. But again, I had to clean it out before the my children could enjoy it.

Great to be in the village!
A perfect place for a family with children who like to go to the beach, have ice cream and ride bikes. And without having to use the car. Hope to come back next year! The house had everything we needed.

Awesome place and location
This is such an amazing place to stay in the middle of wine country. The owner was excellent to deal with and we could not be happier with our stay. If you want a real cool place to stay while doing wine tours on the Naramata Bench, I would strongly advise this place. Half a block from a great coffee shop for breakfast and then enjoy the rest of your day doing wine tours. Then the evening on a great patio. We had many quail come and visit in the back yard in the evening.

A Lovely Stay in Naramata
We had a good week at Eden Cottage. The house was spacious and comfortable with an excellent location in the village. Manitou Park which is a short walk, was a great place for swimming and relaxing in the warm weather. And there seem to be an endless number of wineries close by to visit. Thank You Martin, who was most helpful during our stay.

Perfect Location
We were looking for a place which was close to both the shops and the beaches this summer and Eden Cottage was exactly that. With ample room for our party of 7 and at a reasonable price point, we really could not have asked for more. The property owner was quick to respond to our needs and was pleasant to deal with as well.

Beautiful home - perfect for our group!
We had a fantastic time at Martin's home - the house is bigger then it looks from the photos and the rooms have amble space for luggage, etc. - especially the large master bedroom with walk in closets. The back deck with the grape vines was the perfect spot for our evenings and our kids had lots of fun in the back yard.

Great stay
Wonderful stay. Great location right in the village of Naramata, we loved being able to walk to a coffee shop,great general store, the beaches, and dinner at the Historic Naramata Inn. Wineries are also just a couple of minutes drive. The house was great for our family, it was well appointed with everything we needed, and very comfortable. Martin was easy to communicate with and we appreciated the bottle of Prosecco!
