History
Invermere wouldn't be the first port of call for history buffs, but you can find precious nuggets of information if you look hard enough! First Nations peoples inhabited the land around Invermere for thousands of years, and the first European settler to arrive in the area was David Thompson, who built a trading post in nearby Columbia District in 1807. Invermere first came into being in 1890, when Edmund T. Johnston claimed the site as Copper City before changing its name in the early 19th century. If you're keen to learn more about the region's past, the Windermere Valley Museum makes a great stopover.

How to get around
Getting around and about from your Invermere vacation rental
Invermere is a pretty small and walkable town, so if all you want to do is stroll the local streets and go down to the lakeshore, then you'll do fine with your own two feet. Public transport is pretty thin on the ground, though, so if you're keen on heading further afield – up the local mountains, for example, or further along the lake – then hiring a car is your best bet. That way you'll be able to go straight from the door of your vacation rental to the ski slopes of nearby Panorama Mountain Resort, or to local parks and golf courses.
Food & drink
Chowing down near Invermere vacation rentals
This may be a small community, but that doesn't mean the local dining options lack variety.

The majority of eateries in the area are casual and family-friendly, though if you want to splash the cash on a special night out as a couple, you'll find plenty of cozy, romantic restaurants to oblige you, too.
Essential info
Basic facts for your Invermere vacation rental stay
Invermere sits toward the north end of Lake Windermere in the Columbia Valley, in eastern British Columbia, near the Alberta border. It's home to some 3,000 permanent residents, and around the same number of people own second homes here, many of them from nearby Calgary.

It's a safe, small community and crime here is rare.
