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.

Has character and enjoyed the rural setting.

Enjoyed the high ceilings upstairs, the charm and being in the country. Was a super place to come home to after a superb wedding and events. Would definitely book again but in the winter for skiing at Silver Star.

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.

Stunning Property

This is probably the most beautiful property we've stayed at in BC. We got married this past weekend and this was the perfect home to prep for the occasion. The view from the property is stunningly beautiful and the pictures don't do it justice. I would recommend this home to anyone.

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.

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.

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.
