The native cottonwood forest along the Centennial Trail next to Eneas Creek and Peach Orchard Road is a sensitive ecosystem, provincially a red-listed Black cottonwood / common snowberry – roses ecological community.

🦉 This community supports many wildlife species that depend on dead trees for their habitat, including nesting, such as Lewis’ woodpecker and the Western screech-owl. Retention of large dead standing trees with cavities is important to retain as these trees support the critical breeding stage for these species.

🌳 Mature black cottonwood stands have been heavily impacted in the Okanagan and retention of these features in a mature forest ecosystem is important for the health and longevity of these local wildlife populations.

All the work done to the Centennial Nature Trail was supervised by a qualified environmental professional and an arborist.

We are responding to the Brent Road wildfire (K51015) estimated at 0.75 hectares in size and located approximately 3 kilometres south of Peachland on the western side of Highway 97.

Two initial attack crews, two response officers, a helicopter, a water tender and both the Peachland Fire and Rescue Service and Summerland Fire Department are responding. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and the RCMP are also responding.

The fire is burning rank 1 with some rank 2, meaning a smouldering ground fire, with some visible open flame. The cause is currently undetermined.

There are structures on the eastern side of Highway 97, however no structures are currently threatened by this wildfire.

The fire is visible to travelers on Highway 97, for updates on road conditions, visit Drive BC: https://www.drivebc.ca/mobile/pub/events/id/DBC-66270.html

We are a pet friendly home at Case Nakazawa but we do ask that your furry friends are not left alone. We do have a crate in the primary bedroom for a small dog.

Due to allergies, we ask that your friends stay off the furniture though.

Heading into the 2024 vacation rental season and it’s weird (and a little scary thinking about covering all our costs), there is a lot of confusion out there and worries about people having their vacation rentals cancelled on them, I have noticed quite a downturn in bookings since the announcement.

We had to make some pivots to ensure we were following all the new legislation, but we did it and our license has been successfully renewed for another year, so you have no worries with Casa Nakazawa.

As we get closer to May 1st (assuming they don’t make any changes to this new legislation), I do expect that we will probably see a lot of rentals dropping off the market - this means there will be less available the closer we get to summer. If you’re thinking about vacationing in the Okanagan this summer, highly recommend booking sooner than later (whether it’s Casa Nakazawa or another location).

The Okanagan is a wonderful place to visit (especially in the Summer) and really depends on the tourism during the summer months.

We’re officially open for the season 👀 Get your bookings in for the Spring ASAP. For the month of March you can still book for only $1,000 for an entire week!
