Chat Live with Lakestone

We are excited to introduce Live Chat as a way to connect with our Lakestone team online. This is a direct connection to the Lakestone sales and management team that would typically greet you at the Lakestone Information Centre and at our Show Homes. In an instant, you will be speaking to one of our local Lakestone sales or community specialists where you can ask for more information such as homesite availability, amenities offered, builder info, community questions and more.

Online live chat hours are 9am to 6pm on weekends and 8am to 9pm on weekdays.

To start the live chat, simply click on the blue live chat icon on our website which is located in the bottom right corner of your screen, and voila! You are now on live chat.

If you start the chat outside of live chat hours, you will see an envelope icon in the bottom right corner of your screen and you will be prompted to leave a message. A member of the Lakestone team will get back to you within 24 hours.

Stay connected and up-to-date with Lakestone by joining our social media pages.

COVID-19 Health/Safety Notice

Dear Visitors and Guests,

The team at Macdonald Communities Limited (Lakestone) have been monitoring the evolving global impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and keeping up to date with any Health Canada changes in protocols. The risk of contracting COVID-19 remains low at this time, however, the safety of our visitors, staff and residents is our main concern.

Out of an abundance of caution, we have put the following measures in place:

- - - - The Information Centre is open by APPOINTMENT ONLY
        
        All show home tours are by APPOINTMENT ONLY
        
        We have increased the regular frequency of cleaning/disinfecting our show homes and our Information Centre and are asking guests who have recently travelled outside of Canada or are not feeling well at this time refrain from entering our show homes. We are also asking staff who are not feeling well to stay home.
        
        We have provided clear instructions to our builders, realtors and staff as to how to manage tours of our show homes and our site.
        
        We have staggered our tour times such that only one party at a time can visit a show home
        
        We are allowing for sufficient time between showings such that attendants can adequately clean the show home before the next appointment

You can book your private appointment two ways. You can REGISTER HERE and let us know when you would like to come for a show home tour during our scheduled hours, Tuesday through Sunday from 12pm until 4pm. Alternatively, you can call 250-766-1213 and make your appointment with our sales team.

Lakestone’s four show homes are also available by VIRTUAL TOUR.

Thank you so much for your understanding during these unprecedented times.

More trails in the Okanagan

Visions of linking the Okanagan by a fully connected cycling and hiking trail is gaining much enthusiasm. The trail will get cyclists off the highway and open up safe access to the small parks along the lake. It will connect communities between Sicamous and the US Border at Osoyoos.

Okanagan Rail Trail efforts have made tremendous progress in developing a linear pathway from Kelowna to Vernon. Efforts by the Shuswap North Okanagan Rail Trail Society to develop a linear pathway from Vernon to Sicamous are well underway. And the Gellatly Bay and Parks Society is active in pathway promotion from the Bennett Bridge to Peachland. The Trail of the Okanagans Society vision is to link these efforts south to the US Border.

Lakestone Home in Folio.YVR

Lakestone homes are attracting attention around the globe. Check out this feature on France Lefebvre from Lake Effect Interior and resident of Lakestone.

Award winning Interior Designer France Lefebvre is busy finalizing little decor touches that turn a house into a home.

Lefebvre’s design choices are directly attributed to the vibrant blues of the Okanagan’s water, and the famously clear skies of the region. “When you see the full moon reflecting on the lake, you know that you live in a special place. The best place in the world,” says Lefebvre.
