Urban Retreat Hostel at the Big White, Kelowna, BC

The Urban Retreat Hostel is a snow lover’s dream come true. Our hostel is situated perfectly in the heart of the village within walking distance from everything you’ll need from groceries, rentals, pubs and restaurants. We have a ski in ski out location giving the ability to access most of Big White‘s ski lifts and the terrain park from our backyard.

Inside you’ll find everything you will need to be comfortable and relaxed. We have renovated and repainted the entire hostel since we took over August 1st 2009. We offer a TV room with brand new furniture, a front desk/reception that calms you as you enter, free internet kiosk and wi-fi, a wax station, ski locker, day storage, a massive kitchen/common area big enough for the whole hostel to take part in dinners or a hockey game. The kitchen is equipped with TVs, everything you’ll need to cook, lots food storage, 4 fridges, 2 deep freezers, 3 cooking areas and 2 sink areas. We have coin operated laundry facilities, 4 fully functioning and huge bathrooms, a safe at the front desk for safe storage and a staff that will help with anything and everything.

If security is an issue, don’t worry! Our office staff is on from 7am to 10pm and we have a safe behind the desk for all of your valuables, then we have security from 10pm to 3am. Never mind our security cameras and our giant ski locker!

We strive to bring you the best and we feel confident that we have done it!
