Orchard house in BX close to Vernon, on hiking trails, close to skiing.

Restored 1940's farmhouse in organic orchard overlooking Vernon. The fields around the house used to be full of Spartan apple trees so we will call it Spartan House ( a small grove of Spartans remain). The house is fully equipped with plenty of space for upto 8 guests. The main floor is open concept with kitchen, dining, living room and entrance area along with a bedroom, bathroom and laundry room. Upstairs has three bedrooms and another full bathroom.

There is a large patio off the dining room with a swimming pool available to guests over the summer months and a hot tub throughout the year. The pool deck is private and fenced with a cedar hedge. The front yard is also enclosed with a fence.

We are located on 20 acres in the BX area 7 kms outside of Vernon BC. The Grey Canal trail borders the property extending for 50 kms along the hillsides of the valley and is great for biking, hiking, horseback riding and snow shoeing. BX falls is just a 3km hike along the trail from the house. Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre is 20 minutes drive up the hill and Silver Star Mountain Resort is a few minutes beyond that. Okanagan, Kalamalka, Swan lakes and 3 provincial parks are all near by.

Sean now operates 'Centred Pilates Studio' in the old packing house on the property and a Cidery with restaurant has recently opened about a kilometre down the road.

A great home base for adventure
This is our 3rd year staying in the Orchard house during the winter, using it as a base for skiing at Silverstar/Sovereign Lake. We return because we get the best of both worlds; easy access to excellent Nordic skiing and the restaurants/bakery in Vernon. Our hosts are great communicators, the beds are comfy and the location next to the BX trails can't be beat. We recommend it to anyone who wants a low-key, comfy post-adventure house.

This property is awesome! It's in a very peaceful country location in BX with amazing views of the area and surrounding orchards. The Grey Canal Trail was just a few steps away. We really enjoyed our stay!

Perfect Spot
Our friends were getting married in the area and we could not have picked a better spot! It had everything we needed to cook a nice meal in the kitchen, unwind (and nurse a hangover), and get some fresh air in the orchard and by walking part of the nearby trail. Thanks to Patrick for being so warm and welcoming!

We enjoyed a relaxing stay at Curlew Orchard. Gorgeous surroundings and attention to detail with a property. We were able to get ahold of owners easily and promptly with questions. This is our happy place.

Relaxing Stay in the Vernon hills
Property was very nice, couple issues with cleanliness from previous guests that were rectified instantly by the host. Little lacking when it came to kitchen staples but we have been spoiled at other VRBOs. Overall it was very peaceful and relaxing with the town and stores close by. Would definitely recommend for someone looking for a nice retreat.

Golf Vacation
The house was well located for us as we played golf in Kelowna, Vernon and Salmon Arm. It had all the amenities that we needed. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, bowls and dishes. The TV only had streaming services, so we did miss a Stanley Cup playoff game very minor inconvenience. Very quiet at night.

Perfect spot for a family getaway
This is our second time booking this property. It’s the perfect accommodation for a getaway with our extended family — six adults and two kids — with lots of space and peace and quiet. The house is well equipped and the pool and hot tub are a nice bonus.

Spartan House stay
Stay at Spartan House in Vernon was great. Minor issue during stay was addressed right away by owner. Needed to have contractor come in and worked with us regarding time so not to interfere with our schedule. Owner dropped in to make sure everything was good. Nice quiet place to stay. Would stay again if in the area.

Lots to Love about the Orchard Homes
We return to the Orchard homes for our annual Nordic ski vacation because: 1) Patrick, Sean and their kids are attentive, excellent hosts. 2) The beds are all comfortable. 3) The homes stay warm and are easily climate controlled. 4) The location is great; 20 min from skiing and close to Vernon for provisions 5) Close proximity to the hiking trail and very close to the outstanding Vernon dog park 6) Kitchens are stocked well enough for scratch cooking If you prefer a country setting and low-key post ski relaxing/gathering, the Orchard homes are highly recommended.

Farmhouse getaway
Wonderful house. Clean, well stocked with the basics (even provided olive oil and coffee beans!) PLENTY of room. Fireplace was so cozy. It was too cold for pool, but hot tub was amaze. We did picture that we would be in a secluded farmhouse, but it was on a bit of a busy culdesac with a pilates studio. Patrick was informative and friendly. Easy to communicate with.

Friends get away
My spouse and I booked this property for a friends get away , with 2 other couples Beds were comfortable, kitchen amenities were all you needed , close enough to shopping and stores . Great place for my dog as the yard was fenced and lots of area to walk him. The pool was wonderful even though it was late in the year we did use it a few times, the hot tub was the star at this time of year and it was used continuously. Owners were friendly and accommodating, supplied everything we needed in a timely fashion . We would definitely stay here again . Thank you Patrick and Sean for the wonderful vacation experience!!

A perfect retreat
We had a fantastic time at the house. Quiet and private property, yet near enough to town to be able to easily run in for a coffee in the morning. the pool was very well used, as was the hot tub, and our dog loved having the large fenced front yard to be free to run in. Such a great option to be able to let her run and have fun, while the rest of the family is enjoying the amenities. The house is a very nice size, clean and comfortable, well suited for a family. Our hosts were excellent, there was a bit of a concern over being able to travel here due to the fires, yet we were past the cancellation period; they told us not to worry, see how it goes, they would honour the cancellation if we couldn't make it.....Ive heard issues with other renters who didn't have such understanding hosts, it gives me so much more confidence in the integrity of Patrick and Sean. Highly recommend staying here, you won't be disappointed.

Wonderful nostalgic stay!
I stayed here with my siblings and it was a wonderful time! Twas a super fun family reunion. We grew up in the BX 1 km away from this house so it was wonderfully nostalgic! Big space to accommodate a big group and the pool was a super awesome add on! We also took advantage of the walking trails nearby to bx creek. The hosts were very responsive and friendly. Would definitely stay again, thanks!

We have been going to Spartan House for a few years and our grandchildren love the pool. They look forward to seeing the sheep travel by and are always on the lookout for deer. Great hub to visit the attractions in Vernon and Lake Country. Patrick is always ready to assist.
