Been a bit quiet about the wildfires out of respect for my cousin and aunt who were waiting to hear about their houses, which have now been confirmed lost in the Bald Range Wildfire near Summerland. Both houses gone. Here is their request, if you know of any furnished rentals Oliver to Peachland.
Screenshot from a Facebook post with a collage of two dogs. The text says: Reaching out as we need a place to stay for one month. Minimum 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom and furnished. We do need a fenced yard for 3 dogs.
Or looking for a fenced lot for an RV. Can be anywhere from Oliver to Peachland.
Anyone have any connections on a place that may work? We have coverage for renting.
