Mackie Lake House
A superbly crafted 1910 Heritage House overlooking Kal Lake in Coldstream. Buchanan by Montreal architect Robert Findlay.
Visit us this summer for Tours and Tea, or get in touch for Wedding Rentals and Special Events! Architecturally, Mackie Lake House remains practically unchanged from its original construction, designed for businessman Rupert C. Its unusual styling, which combines Arts and Crafts elements with a stately Chateau-Style roof, and its finely crafted interior elements make it one of the most outstanding surviving examples of grand house architecture in British Columbia's interior. Mackie Lake House is open for privately booked tours and events. Surrounded by pristine lawns and gardens, on the shores of Kalamalka Lake in Coldstream, BC, Mackie Lake House is the perfect venue for your special celebration. Join us for special Seasonal Teas and our summer Music at Mackie concerts.

In this season of gratitude, we are so thankful for the support we received from the British Columbia Arts Council and Province of British Columbia through the BC Live Performance Network to support our annual concert series, Music at Mackie!
Music at Mackie brought 461 lovely people through out doors this year to enjoy live music on the lawn. If you were there, you know just how special it is.
