Vernon vacation rentals

Welcome to the sunny Okanagan Valley

Tucked away in BC’s sun-drenched Okanagan Valley, Vernon blends an upbeat downtown scene with beautiful rural scenery. In summer, Vernon’s trio of lakes attract legions of vacationers, and Vernon vacation rentals are a great way to make the most of the sunshine and take advantage of the city’s lakeside setting. The best properties boast coveted lakefront locations, complete with private swimming beaches, sunny decks, and gorgeous views. Visit in winter, meanwhile, and Vernon serves up some of BC’s best downhill and cross-country skiing.

From the sand to the slopes

With sumptuous swimming beaches, great fishing and plenty of hiking trails, Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park offers something for everyone. Nearby Okanagan Lake is also lined with some attractive beaches, all within a few minutes of downtown Vernon. Little ones will love Davison Orchards, a family-friendly farm where you can ride tractors, cuddle farm animals, and guzzle down fresh apple juice. When winter arrives, Vernon transforms into a snow sports hub. It’s just half an hour from the legendary Silver Star Mountain Resort, famous for its champagne powder and sweeping slopes.

Discover Vernon’s viticulture scene

Vernon vacation rentals put you in the heart of the action, with cozy apartments just steps from the city’s best cafés, restaurants, art galleries, and studios. As the oldest city in the Okanagan, Vernon has plenty of history to soak up. Start with a tour of historic O'Keefe Ranch, then enjoy a leisurely afternoon tea at Mackie Lake House. Thanks to its fertile soil and sunny climate, the Okanagan produces some of North America’s best wines. Vernon is a great base for exploring the region, so why not designate a driver and sip your way through Lake Country’s world-class vineyards? With rolling hills and leafy nooks, Vernon’s wineries make for stunning wedding venues.

Winter near the Monashee Mountains

With warm, dry summers and snowy winters, Vernon has a slightly more moderate climate than other cities in the Okanagan Valley. Spring brings an explosion of colorful wildflowers, while fall sees Vernon’s aspen and cottonwood trees turn brilliant shades of red, orange, and yellow. Thanks to variations in altitude, Vernon’s seasons are incredibly elastic. This means you can enjoy a morning round of golf in the valley, then hit the slopes at Silver Star.

Escape to Lake Country

Vernon is located in the northern end of the Okanagan Valley, in British Columbia’s Southern Interior. It’s surrounded by rolling grasslands and shimmering lakes, with distant views of BC’s Monashee Mountain range. As well as swimming beaches, Vernon also maintains a handful of designated dog beaches. If you’re here with a furry friend in tow, Vernon vacation rentals unlock access to a host of pet-friendly properties. Just be sure to keep your pups leashed, because Vernon is classified as bear country. This means you could spot both black bears and grizzlies.
