Just what we needed!

The High Chapparel guest house was perfect for our quiet get-away with friends. We loved being on the edge of the desert in this special part of BC. We enjoyed the solitude and proximity to nature yet it was a short drive to many great wineries. The guesthouse was very clean and comfortable.

Peace and Quiet in Wine Country

A wonderful place hosted by equally wonderful people. Perfect for complete getaway or home base in a fantastic part of our world -- the Okanagan. Everything has been thought of here, and the set-up is cool: two complete suites each for 2, with a shared kitchen in the middle -- really perfect for family of traveling couples. Great place!

Wilderness retreat with unbelievable views

This small adobe style guest house is spectacular. It’s a hidden gem just short drive from the main town of Oliver. If you love only the sound of birds and wildlife, this is the place to unplug, unwind and relax. The place was spotlessly clean, great linens and comfy bed. Like ‘glamping’, without sacrificing any comforts. The kitchen is well equipped and makes it the perfect spot to go pick up supplies and your favourite wines and bring back to cook up and enjoy the views. Fabulous spot, cannot wait to come back again. Check in was easy and Linda was available and came to meet us when we arrived. We loved our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Linda Sheehy-Brownstein

Your Hosts: Linda and Bruce. After enjoying many trips to the Okanagan over the years, we purchased our 80 acre property and moved to Oliver in late 2007. 25 plus years working in the film industry in Vancouver prepared Linda to host our guests at High Chaparral Guest House. Bruce continues to commute, working on various film projects during the week. We live in a separate residence on the acreage with our house dog, Oliver.

Why they chose this property

High Chaparral is unique and unlike anything else offered in the area. The scent of ponderosa pine and wild sage enchant the senses while the breeze whispers through the trees. Our property is home to many species of birds, including quail, grouse, sage thrashers, bluebirds, hummingbirds, eagles, owls, hawks and vultures. In the Spring many beautiful wild flowers cover the surrounding hills. Ancient deer paths are present throughout the acreage, still used today by our resident deer and are an easy hike for our guests. Oliver is home to world class restaurants and over 30 award winning wineries. Relax while enjoying the quietude of our 80 acre property. Privacy is yours in a gorgeous setting. We are stewards of our land and have signed a covenant with Okanagan Similkameen Stewardship Society to maintain the wildlife habitat on our property.

What makes this property unique

While set in privacy of the pristine wilderness - we are only 10 minutes from Main St., Oliver. From High Chaparral Guest House you can visit over 30 wineries, 3 golf courses, many hiking/biking trails, 3 lakes, award winning restaurants, bicycle rental or horseback riding. After a day of wine tasting, you can return to the guest house, prepare your dinner and enjoy some of our local wines, while taking in the spectacular sunset on our wrap around deck. High Chaparral has two private suites, each with a separate entrance. A fully equipped kitchen is available for your use at no extra cost.
