Wonderful stay, the pool was great, and the breakfasts were delicious.

Brenda and Rick were great hosts and the property has a tonne of character and privacy. It's up in the hills away from the highway and absolutely quiet and peaceful. While we had a lot of activity planned away from the property, the only thing I might wish for if I wanted to spend a complete day at the property winding down or going out only by bike or in foot to travel would be a couple of restaurants a little closer to the property than we found. If you wanted to stick close to the property a lack of nearby food options might be a challenge (although after one of Brenda's breakfast ls you may not need to eat for the rest of the day anyway!) Admittedly, there is a golf course (Saint Andrew-on-the-lake) a couple of km away that indicates that it has a restaurant, but we didn't stop in to see if non-members could eat there. If you can eat there, then really, this point is pretty much irrelevant and there is nothing that I would take away as a negative from this experience at all even if you wanted to stay close to the property the whole time you were there for some privacy and seclusion. Brenda created a wonderful experience for each breakfast during our stay, but you may want to get out and go for a bike ride before breakfast, because you might be too full after breakfast to do it, but there's no way you'd want to skip that breakfast! We will definitely refer friends to this property and plan on visiting again in the future!

Each morning of our stay, Brenda knocked our socks off with a new culinary creation. Warm pineapple with a lime yogurt and pistachios. Cranberry and walnut french toast. Southwestern saute with sweet potatoes and a farm fresh egg. We told Brenda that we were heartbroken to be leaving too early on the last day of our stay to join breakfast. She packed up these perfect little breakfasts on the go, filled with juicy produce and delicious bites. We were tremendously spoiled. The space was soothing and quiet. I had my coffee each morning on a little patio nestled in between trees and mountains, looking up at the blue sky. I recommend Casa Colina fervently.

Brenda and Rick are the ultimate hosts. Every detail of our stay was taken care of perfectly. The room was so comfortable and everything in there was first quality. .We enjoyed the beautiful setting and the serene pool. The breakfast was superb, table set elegantly and every guest we met felt the same. Every morning at breakfast, Brenda came into the dining room to visit with guests - that was the highlight of our stay! She is the kind of person that makes you feel so welcome and is someone that you feel you have known for a long time. We will return. Thanks Rick and Brenda.

In-room Keurig was much appreciated, and Brenda's breakfasts are amazing, very beautifully presented. The suite we had was clean and new, and very comfortable, especially the bed. We had a wonderful weekend here!

What a wonderfully peaceful place! Our hosts Brenda and Rick were welcoming and very friendly. The rooms are lovely, decorated with tasteful touches. There is everything you need including a frig and pool towels. We loved our little table and chairs on the balcony. It was a great place to have a glass of wine, watch the deer walk by and look over the peaceful hills surrounding the B & B. There were other guests staying in the inn but we didn't know they were there until we saw them at the pool or for breakfast. Speaking of breakfast! It was incredible! I know of 5-star hotels in Vancouver that couldn't compete with Brenda. We will be back.

This really is a hidden gem. We were doing the Fondo so we stayed one weekend for the event and then again on race weekend in July 2017. Brenda and Rick are amazing hosts. We had to leave earlier than we planned to and although we told Brenda to charge us for the full stay she insisted on giving us a refund. The property is beautiful and quiet. The a/c was a relief when the weather got hot. Brenda and Rick have really created a wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommended.
