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.

Comfy & ideal get- away experience
Great views. Quiet & serene. Unique heritage home that’s been renovated nicely. Lots of amenities in the kitchen, even whole coffee beans to use in a grinder for French press coffees. Lots of room, fit us 4 adults comfortably. Close enough to zip to town or head up to Silverstar. So thankful we could bring our little family dog with us. Having one bathroom wasn’t an issue as it’s set up with a separate toilet, 2 sinks then a shower plus a lovely decent sized tub. I’d highly recommend.

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!

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!

Warm, cozy, magical
This orchard home was simply amazing. The warmth and inviting atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for. I'd recommend this home to anyone staying in Vernon. Views to die for, bathtub to lounge in and everything you could possibly need! Thank you so much Patrick, we loved every moment spent in your beautiful home!

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 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.

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.

Lovely views, scenery, trails, home
We found the home to be relaxing, with gorgeous views of the valley, city and lakes, and close to either easy or challenging walking trails. For us it was nice to have our own space to visit rather than be stuck in a hotel room. The three rooms upstairs and master on the main floor gave us space to withdraw and relax, while the ample main floor dining and living area and balcony gave us space to stretch out. We plan to be back!

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!

Perfect relaxing and comfortable cottage
We absolutely loved this cottage. The view of the valley and lake were amazing. The proximity to Silver Star was a very reasonable 25 minutes. Lots of towels and bedding. Family of three adults and three teens were very comfortable. Spotless house with every amenity you could want. The pictures don't do it justice. We will definitely recommend this cottage and hope to stay again. :-)

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!!

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!

A place to come 'home' to.
My family and I (2 adults 2 kids +dog) stayed here for a week July 2019. From the first moment we walked in we were captivated by the views. The house is situated in a place where from the living room, you can see the town, the lake and the mountains. It's everything we came to Vernon for, totally summarized in a gorgeous view out a picture window. The house is very spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is huge and great for cooking. The bathroom, again, huge and generous to share; the toilet being kept private by a pocket door. The master bedroom is downstairs and there are three large bedrooms on the second floor all air-conditioned because the house can get warm with all the sun streaming in through the windows. During the evening, it cools down very quickly. The property is great. It has a very country feel while still being minutes to the town centre. There are hiking trails to walk and even a walk down the road is enough to make a person unwind from a day of exploring. Patrick and Sean are very easy to contact if you need anything. Everything about their beautiful home is located in a blue binder bible that is short, sweet and has all the info one would need for the house. There is the greatest off leash dog park not even a five minute drive away and it was great to visit everyday with Neeka, all the dogs visiting seemed to be well behaved and the people friendly to strike up a conversation with. Lots to do and lots to see but the cherry on top was to be able to rest and re-group in this wonderful farmhouse that we really didn't want to leave. Congratulations to Patrick and Sean for their little piece of country paradise.

Overall the property was nicely kept and very nice. We only had 3 people staying so there was ample room for all of us. What would have made this stay better would have been written instructions for working the fireplace and the tv as we were unable to get these to work.
