'Hummingbird Cottage' is a family-oriented vacation home located in a private nine acre cottage community at the base of Silver Star Mountain. It is conveniently situated within 10 minutes of downtown Vernon, and is a pleasant 15 minute drive to the sun and powder of the ski slopes.

Our two level, 1000 square foot cottage is completely renovated and tastefully furnished, and equipped with all the comforts of home. Just bring groceries, your suitcase, and a chilled bottle of local wine, and you are set for your holiday. All of the bedrooms have new, pillow-top Serta mattresses, and high quality linens, so your sleeps will be quiet and restful.

Use the cottage as your home base to explore the beautiful Okanagan Valley. There is ample parking at the cottage, so bring your boat and spend your days on nearby Okanagan or Kalamalka Lake. Mountain bikers will love the thrill of taking the lift to the top of Silver Star Mountain, and exploring the trails and jumps. Bring your golf clubs and play each day at a different course--Predator Ridge, The Rise, Spallumcheen, to name a few. The trailhead for the BX Falls hike is within walking distance of the cottage. Hikers will also enjoy nearby Kalamalka, Silver Star, and Ellison Provincial Parks.

At the end of the day, enjoy a BBQ on the sunny deck. The deck overlooks the pool, tennis, and basketball courts, as well as a large grassy green space, which is an ideal place to toss a football around, or play a game of baseball with the kids. At dusk, watch for the mother and baby deer that often graze at the edge of the forest. We invite you to create your own holiday memories here, while you visit the beautiful Okanagan.

If our calendar is booked for the dates you are looking for, please check our neighboring 'Dragonfly Cottage' for availability (see vrbo listing #251554). Our side-by-side cottages can be booked together to accommodate large family groups.

                        When I came to HummingBird Cottage..... I came Home. Everything I needed was here, this home was thoughtfully stocked with care. It was a lovely, quiet, pleasant vacation spot where we thoroughly enjoyed visiting our grandchildren and celebrating our son's birthday. Truly, all the comfort of home and it was appreciated.

                        Thank you Joy, for our six night stay at your wonderful cottage. You have thought of everything; all the little extras that you supply make all the difference to an extremely comfortable stay. We slept like babies in the comfortable beds and the cottage was so cosy and warm. Everything was clean and of a very high standard. The close proximity to Silver Star Mountain Resort is great, and what a fabulous resort! Our son enjoyed his two days of snowboarding. Hummingbird Cottage is better than described and you and Rick are so kind and helpful. Thanks again for your generosity. We hope to come back again sometime. Regina, Ellis & Tony - Australia

                        We loved spending Thanksgiving weekend at Hummingbird Cottage! The house has all the amenities we needed to have a wonderful holiday away. We found the cottage clean, bright, and wonderfully decorated and we were made to feel at home by the owners. We have plans to spend a ski weekend here in the future, and maybe even a week in the summer where we can enjoy the pool and tennis court! Thanks for being a fantastic host Joy!

                        Hummingbird Cottage is a wonderful spot to relax and unload the stresses of the daily grind. Show up with your food and beverage, and want for nothing. The cottage has everything you need for a few days or week of peacefulness. You can actually hear the birds singing all day. The Cottage is so cute, the pictures don't do it justice. The beds are so comfy, and the bedrooms are decorated with a cozy feel to them.The pool is clean and well maintained. This was our second visit in what I hope to be an annual retreat/golf vacation for years to come. A DEFINATE go to vacation spot.

                        This clean, updated cottage was the perfect home away from home for our family while we spent a week vacationing in the Vernon area and attending a family wedding. The kitchen is well equipped. The pool was a great spot for the kids and adults to spend afternoons, the neighbours were very friendly and helpful with spots to see in Vernon and area. Located only minutes from many of Vernon's attractions and ammenities. We would definately stay here or at the neighboring Dragonfly cottage again!!

                        The Hummingbird Cottage is truly a well hidden little gem. The location is fantastic...where else do you get a big green space, tennis courts, and a POOL?? The cottage is always sparkling, the deck, patio furniture, and bbq are a wonderful asset, not to mention 3 bedrooms! We love it. This has been year two for us staying with Joy...the most wonderful hostess by the way...and we are looking forward to year three!

                        This is a beautiful 3 bedroom cottage in a great location close to downtown Vernon but far enough away to have privacy :0) The price is MORE THAN reasonable for all that you receive! We were VERY satisfied with the cottage and all the beautiful furnishings, comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen with all you would need to cook and feel at home... Thank you so much for such a well thought out rental cottage and for all the little extras that you would not expect to find! AAAAAA++++++

                        We absolutely were enchanted with this cabin. The BEDS are amazing! :-) We all slept so good! The place is well kept & very clean. The attention to detail was very much appreciated, from the beautiful towles to the Bottled Water to the CD's!!! The sitting area is comfortable for visiting, the table is perfect for 6 for dinner, the BBQ is hooked up to Natural Gas w/ all the necessary tools. It was a perfect place for the 6 of us and we will definitely be returning. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us.

                      Year Purchased: 2005

                      About the owner: Joy and Rick We live in the same cottage community as our rental property.

                      Why the Owner Chose Vernon:
                      We have semi-retired to the Vernon area, and love the recreational activities the area affords.

                      The Unique Benefits at this Cottage:
                      Our property is perfectly located for our needs. It is far enough from town to make us feel we are in the peace and quiet of the country, yet we are a 10 minute drive from the amenities of Vernon.
