About Vernon

Centred around the Okanagan Valley, Vernon is a delightful lakeside destination in British Columbia between Calgary and Vancouver. It’s famed for its snow-capped skiing slopes and is a haven for outdoor adventurers seeking snow sports, biking and hiking through the surrounding Provincial Parks. From simple, self-catering properties and cosy cabins, to sprawling resorts and luxury hotels, the best places to stay in Vernon promise easy access to the region’s stunning scenery and a vibrant arts and culture scene.

Start your visit to Vernon with the Museum and Archives of Vernon, where you can find out more about this beautiful region. Don't miss the historic O’Keefe Ranch, once a part of the Cariboo Gold Rush, to learn about the recent past, and dine in the Cattleman’s Club. Nearby Ellison Park offers fantastic mountain biking trails, while Kalamalka Lake's marina provides excellent water skiing and windsurfing options.

If you're into hiking, join the trails at BX Creek & Falls and explore its cascading waterfalls and lush forests, and a short drive away there are panoramic views of the Okanagan Valley from the Lumby Bluenose Mountain Trail. On a clear night when the stars come out it's a captivating sight.

The Best Places to Stay in Vernon

For a traditional Lodge

  • Spirit Lodge at Silver Star is a charming traditional lodge, with just three rooms, offering a scenic rural setting outside Vernon. Rooms are spacious and simply styled with pine furniture, chic grey hues, and wooden floors. The high-ceilinged open-plan lounge and dining room is a lovely communal area. A good option for groups.

For a resort

  • Sparkling Hill Resort & Spa is a shimmering resort on the shores of Lake Okanagan. With 3.5 million Swarovski crystals studded throughout the interiors you can imagine where the name came from. The rooms however are understated, allowing the floor to ceiling windows do the talking. The spa is second to none. Fantastic!
