Welcome to Mountainside Retreat at Sunnybrae, a quiet place above the lake where life begins to slow down in all the right ways. This is not a busy resort or a crowded escape. It is something simpler, and often more needed; a place where you can breathe deeply, rest fully, and reconnect with what matters most.
Set between mountain, forest, and water, our retreat offers peaceful spaces for families, couples, and small groups to gather, reflect, and enjoy time together. From morning coffee overlooking Shuswap Lake to evenings by the fire under open skies, every part of your stay is shaped by care, intention, and a deep respect for the experience of our guests.
At Mountainside Retreat, we believe the small things matter. A well-prepared space. A warm welcome. A sense of calm you can feel the moment you arrive. Whether you are here to rest, to celebrate, or simply to step away for a while, you are welcome here.


Mountainside Retreat at Sunnybrae is a private, mountainside property designed for rest, connection, and meaningful time away. The retreat offers a collection of thoughtfully prepared spaces, including a spacious main lodge, a fully independent lakeview cottage, and additional accommodations suited for families and small groups.
Our Main Lodge welcomes up to 18 guests and features four private bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, a large family-style kitchen, and an open living area with a wood-burning fireplace. Expansive windows and outdoor decks provide sweeping views of Shuswap Lake, Mount Ida, and the city lights of Salmon Arm. It is ideal for gatherings, retreats, and shared meals around a large dining table.
For smaller stays, the Private Cottage offers a peaceful and fully equipped two-bedroom, one-bath retreat with its own kitchen, living room, and lake views. It comfortably accommodates families up to 6 or couples looking for a quiet and independent getaway while still enjoying access to the full property.
All guests have access to a large outdoor pool (20x40), hot tub, and surrounding courtyard, along with walking trails throughout the 40-acre property. The retreat is a short walk to the beach, offering easy access to the lake while still providing privacy and elevation for incredible views.
What sets Mountainside Retreat apart is not just the setting, but the feeling. This is a place intentionally cared for; where spaces are prepared with attention, where guests feel welcomed and at ease, and where the pace of life naturally slows. Whether you are here to gather, to rest, or to reset, everything about the property is designed to support your experience.
Nearby, you will find Shuswap Lake beaches, hiking trails, local wineries cideries, breweries, eats, and the town of Salmon Arm, offering small-town charm within minutes of your stay.
