Vernon is a happening, historic city, situated
in an ideal location between two lakes at the northern end of the Okanagan
Valley of British Columbia. This area is a popular all seasons tourist

to rent a vacation home to use as your base as you explore the area.

Vernon is a very historic city and the oldest community
along Okanagan Lake, dating back to 1892. Like many
Okanagan
communities it was first sustained by the ranching and
fruit growing industries, which, along with a growing
tourism industry, still continue to this day. Downtown
Vernon has some interesting murals displayed on many of
its buildings, which depict scenes from the historic
past of this area. The many brick heritage homes are
also reminiscent of the European influence and early
gold rush days.
Many tourist coming for a vacation in Vernon prefer to
stay in a vacation rental instead of a hotel as it gives
them more room and the freedom to eat in if they please.
Also it makes so much more sense for families to rent a
house rather than be squished into a little motel room.
Vernon vacation rentals include, lakefront homes with
private docks, cottages, ski cabins, condos, and private
vacation homes. Rent from an owner and enjoy more
amenities than you ever dreamed possible for the best
Okanagan vacation ever in Vernon.
