Fleming Lake House
Your own private beach on Shuswap Lake — a four-bedroom lakefront retreat for the whole family, in every season.
Your own private beach on Shuswap Lake — a four-bedroom lakefront retreat for the whole family, in every season.
Fleming Lake House sits right on the south shore of Shuswap Lake, just west of Sorrento — a fully renovated four-bedroom home where the deck is the living room, the beach is yours alone, and ten people can spend a week together without anyone tripping over each other.
Renovated top to bottom over five years by owners who use it themselves: hydronic in-floor heating for real winter comfort, air conditioning for 30-degree July afternoons, new windows, a standing-seam metal roof, and a kitchen built for feeding a crowd around a solid-fir table for ten, handmade in BC.
This isn't a rental that gets a fresh coat of paint every spring. It's a family lake house — handmade quilts on every bed, linen curtains on a 20-foot window wall, a teal front door — and it shows.
A private gravel beach with your own floating water trampoline anchored offshore, paddleboards at the waterline, a boat buoy out front, and a stone fire pit at the water's edge. The Shuswap hits 20–21 °C in July and August — warm enough to swim for hours, not minutes.
String lights come on, the lake goes glass-calm, and dinner stretches until someone finally lights the fire pit.
Swim off your own beach in 20 °C water, paddleboard at dusk, golf 10 minutes away, boat to Copper Island, hike to Margaret Falls. Saturday-to-Saturday family weeks.
Golden colours, quiet water, and the Adams River sockeye run 30 minutes away — plus a genuine emerging wine region: Larch Hills, Recline Ridge, Sunnybrae.
Sleep on the lake, ski three resorts — Sun Peaks, SilverStar and Revelstoke are each roughly 1½–1¾ hours away. Come home to in-floor heat, the sauna, and a fire.
Ice-out fly fishing (prime April–May), waterfalls at full melt, golf from April 1 — and the whole lake to yourselves.
October 2026 — a once-every-four-years event. The Adams River sockeye run hits its dominant year: millions of salmon, 30 minutes from the house. The Salute to the Sockeye festival begins October 7. Fall weeks will go first.

The house was practically designed by a golden retriever, so we're sympathetic. Well-behaved dogs considered — just ask when you request dates.
The Village Grocer in Sorrento is 5 minutes away for most things; full supermarkets are in Salmon Arm (~30 min) or Chase (~20–25 min). Don't skip the Saturday farmers' markets in summer.
