Amazing breakfasts with a beautiful view of the Penticton area”

The amazing breakfasts were the highlight of our stay at Rowena's Retreat. Rowena is a talented chef that goes above and beyond in providing delicious and very filling breakfasts! We found the bedroom spacious and comfortable and the bathroom was well stocked. Watching the sunset from the patio with a glass of local wine was the perfect way to wrap up our stay here. Would definitely recommend this B&B to other couples.
Nothing that I can think of.

Good”

Rowena is an excellent cook and the breakfasts were very tasty. Both Fred and Rowena were very polite and friendly to me.
While I was waiting for breakfast the first morning I could hear Rowena berating Fred and calling him very unkind names. I expect Rowena was unaware I could hear every word. It was very upsetting for me. The signage in the home would indicate Christian values but I'm sure Christ would not approve of the words "useless" and "stupid" spoken to your husband.

Highly recommendable and you are treated as a real VIP. from start to finish.”

Rowena's culinary skills reflected in the presentation of the food is astounding. And as Rowena says, having a well presented plate brings happiness to the consumer, that brings happiness to her. It was also great to meet and share stories with the other guests. Fred is a very engaging facilitator for this.

Would love to come back to Re-Treat ourselves.”

Rowena and Fred's place is amazing. They are so nice and made sure we had everything we needed, including lending us a cooler for the day. The accommodations (beds, rooms, parking, outdoor deck, the VIEW, etc) are superb, and the FOOD was just WOW. Rowena's breakfasts were absolutely delicious and quite the experience. All around, we would highly recommend Rowena's Retreat.
Can't think of anything.

A beautiful property in a great location that serves delicious, personalized breakfasts - the cherries on top are Rowena”

The property is beautiful and spacious; in addition, it’s located in a beautiful part of town that overlooks the city including Okanagan lake/beach. It’s secluded without being too far from the city! The proprietors Rowena and Fred were exceptional hosts and made us feel so at home. They went above and beyond when feeding us our breakfasts and they just put so much care into their B&B. I cannot wait to visit Penticton again so I can stay with Rowena and Fred again! 10 ⭐️’s out of 5!!!

My wife and I had an experience that warms our heart when we reflect back on it.”

This was our first time at a B&B and it surpassed all what we expected. Fantastic breakfast with extraordinary service. Bed was very comfortable and spacious room, bathroom was very clean, well lite and spacious that we could both get easily prepared for our outings. Having a common room was very relaxing the same as the balcony to watch the sunset at the end of the day. All was beyond first class. The hosts were top notch and friendly and would give it all an 11/10 if that was possible. Great food, great place and great people. We will be back again.

We will be recommending Rowena's Retreat to our friends.”

Rowena and Fred were excellent hosts. Very attentive to needs and friendly. The room and bathroom were clean and we felt the little extras provided exceeded that from any hotel. The entire house was clean and well kept. The view from the balcony was spectacular and we even watched the July 1 fireworks from there. The breakfast was exceptional and very tasty with generous portions.
We don't have anything to comment as our expectations were exceeded.
