Our venue goes beyond the ordinary, offering complimentary access to tennis, beach volleyball, and basketball courts, along with canoes, kayaks, and paddle boards for your guests to indulge in recreational bliss right outside their cottage doors. Nestled along the Kettle Valley Rail Trail (KVR Trail), it’s an ideal haven for those who relish walking, hiking, and biking adventures.
Cottage Rentals
To make your wedding celebration truly memorable, all avalaiable cottages must be rented for a minimum of three nights. Since these cottages are privately owned, there might be instances where the owners occupy their cabin during this time. While we strive to fulfill your request for all 26 cabins, full assurance cannot be provided due to these occasional owner occupancies. Additional nights in any of the cottages, before and/or after the wedding event, can also be reserved, adhering to our flexible booking policy. Let Ponderosa Point be the canvas for your dream wedding, where unique cottages and stunning lake views set the stage for an unforgettable celebration.
