Gala House with views overlooking lakes and Vernon in North Okanagan

Curlew House was the original house on the orchard and was completely renovated. The interior is fully modernized, open and spacious with gas fireplace and all the amenities. There is a large picture window off living room and french doors from the main floor master bedroom to a large deck with views of the valley & lakes.
From the back door there is a nice sized mud room with a washer/dryer set, lots of storage for summer fun items or ski's and snowboards in the winter. There is also a large bathroom, on the main floor with two sinks, large tub and separate shower along with a toilet behind closed doors. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms, a queen, double and single. There are individual thermostats in every room to control the heat/cooling system to your liking.
The grounds around the house have several flower gardens, large Linden trees, a variety of fruit trees, veggie garden and herb spiral, all overlooking the valley and surrounding countryside. A tree'd path leads down to the apple orchard and pasture where a few sheep, some ducks and chickens hang out.
The Grey Canal trail is steps away from the front door leading along BX creek to the waterfall, or several kms along the Silver Star Foothills. We are close to downtown Vernon and 20 mins to Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre with Silver Star Resort just beyond. All in all, it is a quiet place to relax and enjoy the sunsets over the Okanagan hillsides.

Owner very helpful
The TV did not work for our 4 day stay and Patrick the owner resolved issue, previous renter logged onto their Netflix account. Definitely need a car for mountain location. Owner provided us with freshly picked apples from the orchard :^)

Wow... What a view!
We stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed ourselves very much (2 adults and 1 senior). The property was clean and the listing is accurate. It is fairly private and very quiet (owners live in the neighbouring house). The property is very quaint with a small family farm feel... But it's the view from the deck that is the wow factor for this listing... Just amazing! The sunsets were spectactular. The owners were very friendly and even left us some fresh apples from their orchard. Shopping and restaurants are 10 minutes away. Would definitely stay here again if we are in the area.

Charming Orchard House
We first stayed in 2023, and were lucky to stay again in May 2024. The house is old but roomy & charming. It is nestled in a quiet area, with beautiful views over Vernon with the Okanagan Lake in the distance. Tucked safely in an orchard, but only minutes from town. It is Peaceful, Private, and cozy. Do not expect ultra-modern accomodations, but expect charming & quaint. The Gala House is a favourite of ours. I highly recommend it!

What a lovely setting - orchards, near a trail, mountains in the distance! The playhouse is a bonus for small children. Updated, spacious bathroom (but note that there is only one bathroom, located on the main floor). Roomy kitchen. We really enjoyed our stay.

Great place for families
Our family enjoyed staying at Patrick & Sean’s Gala house. It was a perfect spot for our family. The house had everything we needed. The kids had lots of space to run and play outside. The view was incredible and we enjoyed the peacefulness of the location. We’ve already booked for next summer!

Quiet & Quaint Farm House
Wow. Such a beautiful house and propery - so peaceful and very quiet. The huge kitchen was very well stocked. Our group had a comfortable stay. We were only in Vernon for 2 nights on this trip, but hope to re-book this property again, and for a longer stay. HIGHLY recommend this one. Patrick was very easy to communicate with, and he made sure we had everything we needed. THANK YOU - We loved it!

Lovely home
The home was very nice with a large kitchen/living area. We were 5 of us and I didn't pay enough attention to the fact that there was only one bathroom. We made it work though and the bathroom was large. We enjoyed the country surroundings and beautiful view.

Great house
The house was very comfortable and clean and the kitchen was well equipped. The only complaint we had was the dishwasher didn’t work, so we messaged the owners on Saturday morning, but we didn’t hear back from them until just before we had to check out.

Family get together.
This cute little farm house was a bit out of town but was a great place to have a family getaway. There are updates to the kitchen and bathroom. The view is amazing!! The kitchen is fully stocked. (Just could use a few better knives). They leave a good supply of toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, laundry soap and dish soap. Thanks for the stay!!

A home away from home
We had a wonderful stay and would love to return one day. The house was exactly as described — it was well equipped for our longer stay. It was clean, comfortable, and the view was fantastic. We had our dogs with us, and the yard was perfect. There is a great off-leash park minutes away, as well as lovely hiking trails right from the property. Our hosts were very friendly and welcomed us with delicious apples from their orchard. Also, the large bathtub was lovely, especially post-ski. Thanks to our hosts for a great stay!

A Home Away From Home
The Gala House was our perfect 'home away from home' during a very cold week of ski racing. The location is convenient; an easy drive to the mountain yet close to Vernon to restock supplies. We stayed during an unseasonably cold week (-20C), but the house was always cozy, and the temperature controls in each room made everyone happy! The kitchen has all the basics to prepare meals, the mud/laundry room fits everyone's ski gear (with room to spare), the open main room is perfect for conversation, homework, reading, and resting and the one bathroom has a privacy slider so it's not an issue for multiple people. The hosts are quick with responses and have excellent local recommendations. Their commitment to recycling, composting, and using earth-friendly products throughout the house just added to the picturesque view and made it a very positive VRBO experience.
