The Mountaintop at Rock Creek (The Mountaintop Off-Grid Resort & Spa)

The Mountaintop at Rock Creek is a 160-acre, off-grid, Indigenous-owned property in the mountains above Rock Creek, BC, roughly two hours south of Kelowna, 40 minutes east of Osoyoos and two hours west of Castlegar. Rolling grasslands, forested hills and a private peak with 360-degree views make up the setting, and the whole property becomes a private sanctuary for a wedding weekend. The owners describe it as a solar-powered homestead and cultural space — a working farm with livestock, a regenerating landscape, and land blessed by their Elders — rather than a conventional event venue with corporate staff.

For weddings, the appeal is freedom and time together: couples and their guests can gather, celebrate and stay on the land for a full weekend. The property can host up to 80 event guests, with up to 50 of them sleeping on site. Accommodation includes two modern tiny homes, two new and rustic cabins, six A-frame cabins and (coming in 2026) three treehouses, totalling 20 beds for up to 40 people, plus add-on glamping bell tents with queen beds, twinkle lights, carpets and linens for an additional 10 guests. A communal Scandinavian-inspired wood-fire spa — cedar sauna, wood-fire hot tubs, cold plunges and a heated outdoor shower — is lit every evening, and there is a seasonal swimming pond, an outdoor gym, hiking and biking trails, and a communal firepit when fire restrictions allow.

Food and vendors are entirely up to the couple. The venue does not provide food service; instead there is a large guest-use kitchen and dining space with long-table dining under a chandelier (seating for 30+) suited to group meals, potlucks or full-service catering by a licensed caterer, with no vendor lock-ins or venue markups. The team can point couples toward local farms and caterers offering farm-to-table meals, and self-serve 'Take and Make' meals from a Kelowna chef are available as an add-on. The venue does not serve alcohol, though guests may responsibly bring and enjoy their own. There's even open space for a helicopter grand entrance or exit.

The Mountaintop is candid about who it suits: couples who want a non-traditional, nature-based celebration, who are flexible and go-with-the-flow, and who respect the land and the people who steward it. Guests should be comfortable with bugs, changing weather, an off-grid setup (solar power with generator backup, Starlink Wi-Fi in the community area, no cell service) and an 11.2 km drive up a government-maintained forest service road. The site notes over 4,000 event guests hosted and past weddings on the property, and it is booking weddings for 2025 and beyond. Those who visit in person often mention how differently the space reads than in photographs.
