The Okanagan Valley, in the interior of British Columbia, is a popular Canadian vacation destination known for skiing in the winter and watersports in the summer. The area's quaint towns and lush vineyards are connected by a network of clear blue lakes and rivers and surrounded by rolling, sun-dappled hills. Head to Kelowna for one of several wine festivals or to Penticton for the sugary summer Peach Festival. To the south is Osoyoos, home to an arid desert filled with rare plants and animals.

The owners and staff are dedicated to making you feel at home. The Armstrong Inn Restaurant is open daily for breakfast, lunch and dining. The cuisine is homestyle and very popular with the locals. Armstrong itself is quite charming and the home of the Interior Provincial Exposition (IPE). The fairgrounds are within walking distance while the city of Vernon is only a 15 minute drive away.
If you plan to risk your health and stay at the Armstrong Inn, then be be prepared to clean your way in to the suite. At a glance, the rooms appear clean, but in short order one can see dust on picture frames, leftover food in cabinets with kitchenettes, very dirty ovens, microwaves, and hard to reach areas. Clean sheets are not offered a regular intervals for long time tenants. There is a lack of cutlery in kitchenettes, and cookware is horrible. If you have a view of the courtyard on North side, one will see a messy, cluttered space , not for guests, but for the family that runs hotel. Think thrice before staying at this hotel.

Enjoyed our stay at Quail Ridge B & B. Great handy location, feels like the country hearing the frogs sing at night. Comfortable beds and enjoyed our breakfast. Very quiet at night for a good night's rest. I'd recommend to friends & family and would return again. Thank-you!

Welcome to Silver Star Motel, your budget-friendly motel in Vernon, BC. Our ideal location provides wine lovers, golfers, skiers, and shoppers with convenient access to their favorite local attractions while staying in British Columbia’s beautiful interior region.
We needed a place to stay that was more inexpensive than a hotel. I am always leery of staying in motels since I had a bad experience last time I came to the Okanogan. This motel is very well-kept and clean. The owners are so friendly, hard-working and accommodating. It was lovely to stay here. I would stay here again and recommend them.

Modern luxury comes to the country at the Hillcrest Farm Market B&B. Each suite has a large private balcony showcasing breathtaking views of the city. Spacious rooms offer contemporary comforts, with a fireplace, flat screen TV, and a luxurious private bathroom with tub and shower, creating a home away from home. And like any welcoming home, breakfast is served fresh daily.
My husband and I chose Hillcrest Farm BnB to be close to Black Mountain where our daughter lives. We were very comfortable in our spacious room with a gas fireplace. We had the Cherry room which was nicely decorated, bright, and had a beautiful view. The breakfast was delicious. We especially appreciated how the owner, Barb, went out of her way to accommodate us. We recommend staying here and will definitely return. (Oh, and make sure to try the cherry jam, delicious! ?)

Opened in the summer of 2008, the Lake Country Inn is Lake Country's newest motel, offering 28 rooms for your stay. Rooms are available with a king size bed , or with two queen size beds . The Lake Country Inn is located less than ten minutes from the Kelowna International Airport , making it a quick and easy destination for air travellers from around the world.
Booked a room about 2 months before my stay at $119/night. Requested a confirmation email and was told “no, you don’t need one” (weird). After being told by someone else in the same travelling group that they had called and their room had been jacked up to $179/night with no notice I called to confirm my own rate, and sure enough they increased it from $119 to $179 without any notice. The owner was exceptionally rude and called me a liar. I called back the next day to adjust my reservation by a day and was told my room was cancelled because I lied about the initial rate I booked for. He actually said “I canceled your room because you lied to me” It felt like I was speaking with an angry child as opposed to an adult business owner. Super unprofessional. I will be sharing my experience with everyone I know. Make sure you demand a confirmation email otherwise they can change your rate.

This place is a hidden gem. I stayed for six nights and was pleasantly surprised. Suzanne and Paul are charming hosts and the accomodations are immaculate. There is a beautiful deck at the rear of the property that overlooks a gorgeous garden. A great place to relax and enjoy a glass of wine and watch the quail parade down. You won't have to worry about noisy guests ever and breakfasts are delicious with many homemade jams. There are many great dining options within a 10 minute drive. I have stayed at many hotels in the Kelowna and West Kelowna area and this is a real treat. Highly recommended!

Our two night stay was a wonderful experience. From a warm welcome, to a fantastic room with views of the lake and hills, special snacks, huge charcuterie (as I call it) breakfasts, this B&B gets 5 STARS! The design and decor is magazine worthy! This is a special retreat and we shall return!

This B&B is a real treat. Beautiful property and garden, superb room with lake views, everything very clean and meticulously taken care of. Very comfy bed, if anything was to be criticized, then a dozen or so pillows might be a little overkill ;-) Great breakfast, good discussions with our hosts Alan and Gary at the table. Both are very nice and welcoming; Gary even introduced us to his hobby and gave us a private tour of his beautifully restored vintage cars!

We stayed 2 nights and didn't regret our choice for many reasons: the friendliness of the owners who make you feel really welcome. The cleanliness of the place. The view from the window and deck. The excellent wifi. The healthy breakfast. The photos on the website don't do the place justice. The room is larger and the view better.

After having a change in plans we booked three nights very last minute. Mike could thankfully accommodate us. Upon arrival Mike cheerfully provided us with the lay of the land - shared kitchen available, our own mini fridge for anything we needed chilled, the all important cupboard with the wine glasses of course. He showed us to our room which was clean and spacious, with an adjoining private bath. Mike provided a healthy sized breakfast each morning at our time of choosing - a definite perk from other BnBs of set breakfast time. Each day was different, and each day was delicious with excellent presentation as an added bonus! We came and went as needed for our weekend activities with no concerns. The location is med-way between Vernon and Silverstar, about ten minutes from each, so be aware of this. Though the benefit of this was the exceptionally quiet nights we had, able to open the window and allow in the fresh air as we slept. Both Mike and Edie were lovely to chat with and knowledgable about the area. When we return again we will absolutely stay at Silverstar BnB no question!
