An Incredible log house just 15 mins from the hill that sit on 5 wooded acres!

Want to feel like you’re vacationing right in the mountain? Okanagan Mountain Retreat is the house for you. This incredible, 3 bedroom and 2-bathroom log house sleeps 6 and sits on 5 wooded acres. Just 15 minutes from Silver Star Mountain in one direction and 15 minutes to Vernon in the other. It’s that extra bit of space that you may be craving for your winter holiday.

Bedroom Configuration:
Bedroom 1: King Bed (sleeps 2) with ensuite
Bedroom 2: Queen Bed (sleeps 2)
Bedroom 3: Queen Bed (sleeps 2)

Bathrooms:

Walk through the front door to the open living area with a kitchen, dining room and cozy living room with a wood burning fireplace – perfect for snowy evenings. When you step outside from the main living area, you’ll find an incredible deck with lots of seating and views of the forest. This is the absolutely perfect spot for your morning coffee. This is also where you will find the two-person hot tub – soak and relax after your winter fun. On this level, you will also find a nook with a stationary bike.

From here, you can head upstairs to all three bedrooms.

Don’t feel like leaving the property? Explore the 5 acres on the already created trail system. The perfect way to start your day! Your dog will love this house too. Not only will your dog be able to enjoy the trails and trees with you but there is a locked dog area where you can leave him or her for the day while you’re up skiing!

Outside Fire Pit: There is currently a fire ban in our region and this is no longer available this summer. For the Winter Season Only, feel free to use the outdoor firepit for an evening of family fun.

Okanagan Mountain Retreat has central air conditioning for cooling off on those warmer summer days.

Bonus: Your two-person hot tub is open year-round at no additional cost.

There is a large driveway with enough parking for 3+ vehicles.

Okanagan Mountain Retreat is a fully equipped house with its own laundry facilities. Housekeeping is not included during your stay but if you require additional housekeeping during your stay, it can be arranged at an additional cost.

Special feature: Our unit has a keyless entry (you will be provided the access code prior to arrival). This makes it convenient for you to arrive at any time after check-in time - so if you want to check in late or come a day early arriving late at night - you could just make first tracks in the morning.

What our guests have to say:

"Okanagan Mountain Retreat is very nice, spacious and very pet friendly! We had an awesome stay, it is very peaceful and our doggy was very happy running around the garden." - September 2024

"Great place to spend a few days with some friends after long days of biking, hanging out and exploring the Vernon area. All the guests complimented how cute and cozy was! Thanks again!" - August 2024

“Silver Star Stays was very responsive and helpful with all of our questions and concerns. The home was very clean and cozy, and had a “middle of the forest” feel while still only being 10 minutes from most anything you need in Vernon. Lake country was about a 35-40 minute drive to a few different wineries and nice lakes. Would definitely stay here again!”- August 2024

"Our stay at Okanagan Mountain Retreat was so lovely. We were meeting up with old friends whom we hadn't seen in a while and wanted somewhere private with great indoor and outdoor space just to hang-out and visit. We also wanted a place that was close to restaurants and grocery stores so we could stock up or go out to eat as we pleased. And, we wanted a place that would accommodate our 100 lb. dog. Okanagan Mountain Retreat checked all these boxes and then some. We ended up not going out much at all because the house and grounds were so beautiful, relaxing and peaceful. We enjoyed walking our dog on the trails and were grateful for the air conditioning, as he has a full fur coat. The beds are comfortable, and the kitchen well stocked. Thanks again for a great stay - we will return!" - July 2024

"I highly recommend this quaint and beautiful log house. Six family members and two poodles stayed in this pet-friendly home. It was warm, comfortable and cozy. The home lacked for nothing and we were able to make a real fire in the fireplace in the evenings and enjoy the hot tub after skiing. We explored the trails in the woods with the dogs. It was close to Silver Star Ski Resort and to the town of Vernon. The home had all of the technology we are used to, such as wifi and a big screen TV, for movie watching in the evenings. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped and we were able to prepare some memorable meals. The host was very responsive. This is a great place to stay." - January 2024

"We booked the Mountain retreat property for the month of February 2023. First impressions are that the property is well maintained and care and thought have been put into making sure that guests have all the amenities they need to have a wonderful stay. Having space to have our dogs with us was a big plus, whether they were out on the trails up the hill behind the house, or on the porch they were happy with having a place to roam. We have very responsive dogs that stick pretty close to the house. When we did occasionally leave the property without them we opted to put them in the oversized fenced area so they could be safe outside but also comfortable. Honestly the owners have put a LOT of thought into making things accessible for those traveling with pets. We did not give our dogs free rein in the house but rather chose to keep them contained- less mess for us to clean up! The log home is cozy and it is SO quiet, we rarely heard road noise, occasionally there was a dog barking in the distance but nothing that interrupted us. We loved the 2 person hot tub - it was the perfect size for our group and it was easy to run. Its location at the back of the house is perfect for a midnight soak and look at the stars! Having access to laundry facilities onsite was huge for us and if you were traveling with children that would be a huge bonus. There are three large bedrooms and floor space for more if need be. The kitchen has everything you would need. The furnace keeps everything warm. We were in the area to ski and hike and the location of the house is perfect for both. 12 minutes up the hill to Silver Star and 5-7 minutes down the hill to Vernon. We loved the location. We felt very safe here. There is ample parking available, a fire pit with lots of wood if you want to have an outside fire. We will be back!" - March 2023
