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.

Lovely stay at the Gala House

The Gala House is a lovely space with unique charm and a beautiful view. A great place to relax for a few days, and a nice perk that there is access to the Grey Canal Trail right beside the property.

Relaxing weekend away

This home was the perfect venue for our girls weekend away. Large kitchen and table, nice big bedrooms, and big washroom too. Loved walking around and watching the animals. And the view off the deck is spectacular. Hosts are lovely and great at communication. Check in was easy.

Idyllic stay

Wonderful restored house with beautiful views, close to the town of Vernon, but in the country. We settled in the well-appointed home easily and found it quite comfortable for our stay. The beans and grinder and patio chairs were a great touch. Walking through the orchard and admiring the farm animals was the perfect send off. Thank you for a great stay.

This is our second visit. So good, we had to come back. And things got better since last time! A brand new, big dining table has been added, which was a wonderful surprise for us. Quiet area. Nice, dark nights. I'll be back!

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.

Overall a great stay

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.

Quiet, comfortable and serene

We had a great time staying in this lovely home for the week. Rooms and beds for everyone. Lots of extra space throughout the house. And the single bathroom was hardly a problem thanks to it's spacious and private layout. Will definitely find this place again when travelling to Vernon.

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.

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!
