Wow! We really enjoyed our stay here at By the Bay Cottage. Naramata is such a nice town and the beach and parks were great! Of course we couldn’t resist checking out a few of the wineries.
The cottage has everything we needed – even a drying rack for the day that it rained Thanks Schuyler.

Thank-you for letting us use your space as the home base for our short – but sweet- vacation.

Thank-you for such a great place to call home during our stay here! We had a lovely time here in Naramata – wine tasting for the parents and Manitou Park for the teens. We will be back no doubt!

We had a wonderful stay in Naramata. By the Bay exceeded our expectations. My wife was competing in Ironman so we did not get to enjoy the place as much as we’d like but we’ll be back. A great community!
Laughing Stock and Therapy are great wine shops.

This was our second stay at By the Bay Cottage and it we’ll definitely not be our last. We hope to make this an annual tradition w our in-laws over Sept long weekend. Thank-you so much for giving us such a great home base for our Naramata and area visit.

Our vacation was made spectacular by the virtues of By the Bay Cottage – a lovely place to unwind each evening and lounge in the mornings. We enjoyed visiting with the quail and the jays and also like them collecting some hazlenuts. The plums were delicious. As for wineries – we most enjoyed the small operations we visited – Serendipity, Black Widow, and Summergate (in summerland on the road to the kvr train) were our faves. We do hope to return again to this Cottage – c’est parfait!

What a wonderful spot! This was our first visit to Naramata. We couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. So close to the water,the store and all the comforts of home. Our regret is leaving. We will be back!

We have all loved our stay at the cottage- so much fun for the whole gamily. The location has been ideal for us – walking distance to store, beach, lavender farm, orchards etc. and close enough to the lake to hear the waves. We enjoyed the provisions (food), using and adding to them. We especially enjoyed watching the bats at dusk. It has been a wonderful and memorable holiday. Thank so much!

Like everyone before us, took the words our of our mouths! Wonderful! Also, your neighbours behind and beside made us feel so welcome. Ray, Dori and Daisy were lovely… Will be back next year for sure.

Sad to be leaving beautiful Naramata today. We have had a wonderful holiday here and staying the fantastic house contributed greatly to the experience. The beach and swimming so close to the house was great. We had access to everything we needed and the wineries were of course brilliant. Thanks for everything Schuyler.

Thanks for another lovely vacation in Naramata. This was our second trip and we are starting to get hooked…already planning next summer.
Thanks Schuyler. Colleen, Gavin, Kris, and Molly. Calgary, AB
Thank-you for a wonderful stay. We had a lovely time here in Naramata, such a lovely place. Would love to come back again. Thanks again..Jason, Debbie, Micha, Ivana, & Layla
This cottage was a lovely place to hang our sun hats for three weeks. We summer in Naramata every year but stay on the bench. Loved being in the flats – so much more accessible to the store, farmer’s market, wharf, and beach.
We strolled everywhere and felt like locals. Rae next door regularly brought us warm freshly packed cherries and raspberries and the hot tub and fire pit were an unexpected surprise.
Thank-you. Mike, Sue, Aaron. Edmonton, AB July 2014
Dear Schuyler,

By the Bay was a lovely place to spend our anniversary. Usually we were up on the bench but enjoyed the proximity to the water , swimming in Manitou Bay, even in the inclement weather! Try Deep Roots winery – lovely new one! Alexis and Nick , Sept 2014
