About this property
Gala House with views overlooking lakes and Vernon in North Okanagan
Gala 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 temperature to your liking.
For groups needing an extra room for 2 with privacy, please ask us about our Hidden Rose suite next door.
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.

We could not have found better hosts anywhere. So warm and friendly, very attentive and so helpful. The Gala House was spotless with such amazing views and so comfortable and while large still so cozy. Would not hesitate to stay there again.
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.
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.
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.
We loved our stay at this beautiful old farmhouse. The views from the deck are stunning. We enjoyed exploring the area and trails nearby. Great spot to spend some time with family.
Thanks so much for letting us stay at your vrbo property! It was just what we needed! Close to the ski hill but also felt like a little paradise away from the the chaos!
This lovely heritage house has a relaxed and welcoming feel with wonderful views of both Okanogan Lake and Kalmalka Lake. The house is well equipped, very comfortable and charming. The hosts are so easy to chat with and provided all the information needed for our 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.
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.
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!
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.
Patrick was very easy to communicate with and the Gala House was a lovely stay. We enjoyed walking the property and the beautiful view from the living room, deck and hot tub. A perfect space for our group of 6 and an excellent location between Vernon and SilverStar. Would definitely stay again.
We enjoyed our stay. Patrick’s property is beautiful and the town has gorgeous views of lake, mountains and plateaus.The house was spacious and neat and clean.
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.
