The Cob House, Cawston, BC
About the Cob House, Similkameen Valley
For a truly unique experience that offers a stay in a whimsical fairytale-style cottage, consider checking out the aptly named “Cob House”. This gem is located in the heart of the spectacular Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, and is situated on an 80-year-old organic orchard called the Vialo Orchard. It is a traditional cob and timber-style build that features a technique dating back hundreds, if not thousands of years.
Surrounded by stunning mountain peaks and arid desert landscapes, the Cob House has no shortage of breathtaking views. It is close to the towns of Keremeos and Osoyoos and nature lovers can reach various hiking trails like the Lower Tower Trail, Nighthawk Hill, or Cathedral Provincial Park. The house is also just 5 minutes from the Similkameen River where swimming, tubing, and kayaking are popular activities.
Inside the Cob House, guests will find a full kitchen, a sleeping loft with splendid views of the valley, a half bathroom with a tub, a wood stove, a patio, and an outhouse. Not only does the Cob House have all the necessities one would need for a great stay it also checks all the boxes in terms of creativity, as there are tons of cute little details.
In the summer months, guests can help themselves to fresh organic fruits and vegetables from the garden out front, or wander freely around the 5 acres of beautiful orchard land.
