H4 Ranch is located 5 minutes from downtown on a pastoral hillside overlooking the equestrian estates below. We raise cattle nearby, and have a horse and chickens. Don't be surprised if you find a dozen farm fresh eggs in your fridge upon arrival. Our ranch is neat and tidy, well manicured and almost free of your typical farm smells! After parking your car, you walk down the stairs, passing your personal BBQ to the left, and your eyes instantly focus on the hot tub, nestled under a timber frame pergola. There is no nicer way to enjoy the view than a soak in the tub in the morning or under the stars. You won't find more peace and solitude anywhere. A short distance away is a customized firepit, fully equipped with seating and firewood. There is ping pong and airhockey under the covered deck as well. When you walk through your private entrance, you enter the great room, which includes a full kitchen, dining room, and living room with a beautiful fireplace, and 55 inch flatscreen. There are large picture windows throughout to optimize the views.To the left, you walk into the larger suite, which sleeps 4 on a queen bed, as well as a pull out sofa. The fully private bathroom is custom tiled in limestone, with soaker tub and custom shower. This suite also has full laundry, 42inch flatscreen, cable and Wifi. To the right side of great room you will find the other suite. It is slightly smaller, but has some awesome features. It has a sitting area with another 42inch flatscreen, cable and wifi, large picture window, and a beautiful ensuite bathroom. It is tiled in quartzite, with a custom walk in shower with a bench seat, rainfall shower and wand.

About Dennis Huizinga
My wife Heather and I have been married for 20 years, have 2 great boys, 15and 18. We enjoy rural living on a farm, and believe that it generates good work ethic for our sons. We share the farm with my parents Henry & Cathy, who live on the farm as well. We all work together to make this business venture function well.
Dennis Huizinga purchased this Estate in 2007
Why Dennis Huizinga chose Vernon
We fell in love with the view. We have lived in the Okanagan most of our lives, and still can't get used to the beautiful landscape around us. The privacy and tranquility of the ranch keeps everyone coming back.
What makes this Estate unique
We have a great deal of knowledge of the Okanagan valley, having lived here so long. We can help you plan an incredible vacation by suggesting where to go to find local amenities, fun activities, and secret gems only the locals know about. Our ranch will provide you with the rest and relaxation you are looking for.

Exceptional!!
What a wonderful oasis. My sister and I were in Vernon to visit her daughter and my niece and we could not have found a better accommodation. Peaceful, beautiful, incredibly clean, wonderful hosts , we could not have asked for more. My sister was charmed by the farm animals and I was captivated by the view!! There were so many activities available to keep us entertained and the suite was very well appointed. The home is only minutes away from downtown Vernon, Starbucks!!!! Thank you to our very gracious hosts.
Awesome
Fresh eggs! Great view, peaceful & comfortable!
Great property, great hosts, great location
As advertised. Couldn't ask for a better place. Highly recommended for families.
A relaxing home away from home
My husband and I, along with our two young children and my parents shared this sweet while in Vernon for a wedding. It is beautifully located on a hillside with stunning views. The suite is spacious, clean and has everything you need. Hosts were very welcoming. The only downfall was that because it's a walkout basement, you can sometimes hear people walking and the dog barking above you. This was a minor issue for us (very close to 5 stars). We would happily stay there if we're ever in the area again. It was MUCH more comfortable for a family than a hotel.
beautiful, clean and queit
such a nice little getaway. Beautiful accommodation and views. loved Peacefulness and hot tub!
Wonderful!
What a truly wonderful place - a peaceful, scenic property with well equipped, spacious, comfortable, up to date lodgings - and great hosts! It is even nicer than the pictures show! Lots of space to relax inside and outside. We have stayed at about 20 vacation rentals in Canada, America and Europe and this is one of the best for amenities and value.
