71365 Old Hope Princeton Hwy, Sunshine Valley Grove, Sunshine Valley, Sunshine Valley, BC, V0X 1L5, Canada

71365 Old Hope Princeton is an immaculate turnkey Airbnb and sleek chalet retreat — on track to generate $50,000 in 2025. A true one-of-a-kind property, the home offers a rare fusion of alpine serenity and contemporary indulgence, attracting both full-time residents and short-term guests alike.

The focal point of the main level is its open-concept kitchen, dining room, and living room. Framed by a soaring vaulted ceiling, exposed beam, expansive windows, and angled pot lights, the space is an ideal backdrop for everything from quiet evenings to late-night game sessions, drinks with friends, or cozy movie marathons.

The kitchen features all stainless-steel Samsung appliances, including a French-door Twin Cooling+ fridge, pyramid wall-mounted range hood, deep wash sink, and quiet dishwasher. Crisp white soft-close cabinetry provides ample storage, while a deep lazy Susan and built-in floating shelves ensure even the home gourmet feels right at home. Light wooden counters and a washed-grey hardy-board-style backsplash reinforce the contemporary cabin aesthetic. While the space easily accommodates a full island, it currently features a compact floating wooden island for additional prep space and pot storage.

The dining area offers 90-degree bench seating with functional hidden storage beneath. Natural light floods the room through four large vinyl double-paned decorative-grid windows and a striking triangular window that channels light from the vaulted ceiling.

As with everything in this home, the details are what make it shine. The spacious living room hosts a large sectional — essential for nights in with family and friends — along with a freestanding Drolet woodstove sitting on a metal insert. From here, you can step onto the stunning 285 sq. ft. fully covered vaulted deck with a treed mountain view. For those seeking a year-round outdoor oasis, this is it. Spacious enough for a full-sized BBQ and smoker, fire table, and patio set — complemented by a tasteful privacy wall — plus a secondary area currently primed for a hot tub for those long winter nights.

The main level also features one bedroom with a barn-door closet and a three-piece bathroom with a honeycomb-tiled rain shower and a presentation-style top-mount sink on a rustic wooden countertop. Rounding out the floor is a bright and inviting front mudroom with bench seating, ample coat hooks, and a large closet housing the electric panel (and sub-panel with room to expand) plus Telus Fibre. A closeted full-sized stacked LG ThinQ washer and dryer with built-in storage completes the level.

The upper floor is a loft-style 366 sq. ft. primary bedroom retreat. Oversized and serene, it features a cozy sitting area for blissful mountain reading, a quaint desk nook for the occasional email, a walk-in closet, a four-piece ensuite — and of course, more than enough room for a king-sized bed. The ensuite includes a tiled alcove tub with bench and a vanity with deep soft-close cabinetry.

While there are interior stairs leading to the basement, they are currently locked, with suite access instead provided through glass French doors located beneath the home’s front deck. You enter a large recreation room featuring a minimalist propane picture-window–style fireplace with a light wooden floating hearth and mounted TV. The far side of the room includes an open studio-style bedroom area, though it could easily be enclosed to create two dedicated spaces. A large pantry sits just off the rec room, along with a four-piece bathroom complete with a soaker tub, vessel sink, and honeycomb accent wall.

The suite kitchen is a single-wall apartment-style layout equipped with a compact Danby dishwasher and retro Galanz fridge, with enough counter space for a countertop air-fryer convection oven. Aesthetically, the suite echoes the main kitchen with matching counters and backsplash — in fact, the flooring is consistent vinyl blank across all three levels of the home.

The suite also includes a den currently used as an exercise area with a sauna, but it could easily be converted into a bunk room. A large partially finished utility room awaits your ideas to further expand the suite’s functionality.

As it stands, the suite allows the current owners to enjoy mountain living anytime while still generating income.

Additional features include three large parking stalls at the front of the home, a roughed-in EV charger, a durable metal roof with a long lifespan, and a Senville Aura Premium Series quad-zone (a unit in all three bedrooms and kitchen) mini-split air conditioner / cold-climate heat pump.

This is your chance to experience a rare blend of rugged mountain charm and contemporary luxury — nature at your doorstep, comfort at your fingertips. The potential is endless and truly needs to be experienced first-hand.

About the Community

In the winter months, Sunshine Valley offers snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and an outdoor ice rink. As the snowline rises and the valley awakens, outdoor opportunities multiply — from ATV and dirt-bike trails to hiking, fishing, and paddling, there is no shortage of wilderness to explore.

When alpine flowers return to the mountains, the local community comes alive. Residents can join the Sunshine Valley Community Recreation Society (annual membership), which includes access to an outdoor heated swimming pool and hot tub, a park, and a recreation centre featuring a games room, library, gathering space, and free Wi-Fi. A new outdoor kids’ spray park is currently under construction. Community events are plentiful — from Easter egg hunts and sourdough classes to weekly yoga, Canada Day celebrations, and one-off fundraisers featuring live music, food trucks, and beer from Mountainview Brewing.

A year-round general store provides essentials, and a volunteer fire rescue service supports local safety. And all of this sits just minutes from Manning Park — less than five minutes to the entrance and 35 minutes to the lodge — offering countless hiking trails, skiing, snowboarding, cross-country routes, and snowshoeing. Sunshine Valley is also 15 minutes to Hope, 18 minutes to Kawkawa Lake, and 28 minutes to Silver Lake Provincial Park, making day trips effortless.

Relax and recharge in comfort. Whether this becomes your permanent home, a weekend retreat, or a top-tier income-generating investment — there is simply no place like it.
