About this property

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.
Over the next few years we will continue to expand the orchard by adding a food forest of fruit and nut trees.

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.

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.

Perfect for our group!
We had a fabulous time at Curlew Orchards! We rented both homes plus the cabin to accommodate a family reunion at the end of June. The setting is lovely with view of the orchard and nearby mountains. The home worked well for our group and we found what we needed in the kitchen. The washer and dryer (including detergent) were appreciated. The pool and hot tub were a huge hit with the kids!!

Orchard haven
What a great place! As described it is a lovely charming house on an orchard with pool and hot tub. Perfect place for our 2 families to plant down while we went on daily adventures around the area. Thanks for the hospitality.

About the host

Hosted by Patrick or Sean Ling-Allen

Host profile image
Sean and I moved to my home town of Vernon, BC from Toronto, Ontario in 2015. My background is environmental management and I'm now the orchardist/farmer. Sean is an artist, pilates instructor with his own studio as well as the family chef and barista. We have 3 young children a dog child and love food, cycling and gardening. The orchard was certified organic in 2020 and incorporates a permacultural approach.
Sean runs 'Centred Pilates Studio' in a former packing house on the property and offers group classes, training workshops and pilates retreats.

Why they chose this property

We connected to this property for the view, proximity to town on a quiet gravel road and opportunity it offers to support our young family. This portion of the farm offers 'flat' land right beside our mature 'hillside' orchard, better for organic practices such as soil building and tilling, as we expand and establish our orchard.

What makes this property unique

The trail system and nearby creek are a beautiful for a stroll, especially at sunset on the trail, or to escape the heat on a hot day by the creek and waterfall. We're next door to an equestrian centre with several friendly senior horses as counsellors. The property is in a quiet country setting with a deadend gravel road yet we're just a few kms from town and central to the lakes and mountains. Private pool at Spartan House open May thru Sept (based on weather) and hot tub open year round.
Sean's studio (Centred Pilates) can provide private or small group classes for upto 5 people if booked ahead of your stay. Pilates retreats can also be arranged in April and November.
