Tucked between Kelowna and Penticton on the west shore of Okanagan Lake, Peachland is more than just a scenic stop—it’s a hidden gem where small-town charm meets lakeside luxury. In a world of corporate hotel chains and impersonal service, Peachland’s independently owned inns and resorts offer a refreshing return to hospitality with heart. At the core of that experience are the small businesses that shape and sustain the local lodging scene.
For small business owners in Peachland, the hospitality industry is more than a livelihood—it’s a legacy. Properties like Davis Cove Lakeshore Resort and The Edgewater Inn are more than places to sleep; they’re family-run operations steeped in local pride and personal service. Guests aren't just room numbers—they’re welcomed like old friends.
Each inn offers a unique story. At Todd’s RV & Camping, travelers can relive the simple joys of outdoor life with modern touches. Meanwhile, suites at the Peachland Waterfront Vacation Rentals combine privacy with postcard-perfect views. Unlike big hotel chains, these small businesses are invested in the community. They source local produce, support town events, and often recommend neighboring small businesses to their guests.
The impact is significant. These inns and resorts not only fuel tourism but also create year-round employment, stimulate local shops, and help preserve the character of the town. They play a vital role in Peachland’s economy and identity, offering both authenticity and comfort.
As travelers seek more meaningful, personal getaways, Peachland’s boutique stays are stepping into the spotlight. For those who want their vacation dollars to support real people, real stories, and real charm, there’s no better place to stay than at one of Peachland’s locally owned inns or resorts.
