Lakeview Getaway with Hot Tub + Pool near Silver Star

We’ve always had a love for beautiful spaces. For me, working in real estate and staging homes has been about more than just selling a property—it’s about creating an atmosphere where people feel instantly at home. My husband Pat and I poured that same care into Hilltop Paradise, our dream home perched above the Okanagan with sweeping views and serene surroundings.

We realized it was too special to keep just to ourselves. We wanted to share the warmth, comfort, and uniqueness of this place with guests who also want to experience the best of the Okanagan. From sunny mornings on the patio to cozy evenings overlooking the hills, every corner of Hilltop Paradise was designed with relaxation, enjoyment, and connection in mind.

Opening our doors to travelers feels like the perfect blend of everything we love—my passion for homes and design, Pat’s dedication to detail, and our mutual love for welcoming others. We’re excited for you to experience Hilltop Paradise as your own retreat, and we can’t wait to share the beauty of this region with you.

The Foothills area in Vernon, BC was chosen because it truly offers the best of both worlds—nestled between the vibrant city of Vernon and the adventure of Silver Star Mountain Resort, it sits at the heart of everything the Okanagan has to offer. Our location provides spectacular views of three stunning lakes—Swan Lake, Kalamalka Lake, and Okanagan Lake—so guests wake up to breathtaking scenery every day.

Families and travelers love being just minutes away from local gems. You’re only a short drive to Splashdown Vernon Waterpark, a favourite for all ages with thrilling slides and mountain views. World-class skiing, hiking, and mountain biking at Silver Star Mountain Resort are within easy reach, while Vernon’s shops, cafés, farmers’ markets, and vibrant arts scene are just as close for those seeking city comforts.

Located centrally, guests can spend mornings hiking hillside trails or mountain biking, afternoons relaxing by blue-green lake waters, and evenings sampling local cuisine in Vernon. Other traveler highlights nearby include:

- Davison Orchards Country Village – farm-fresh produce, family activities, and a charming café.
- Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park – hiking, swimming, and wildlife in dazzling scenery.
- Planet Bee Honey Farm & Meadery – tasting experiences and bee tours.
- The Vernon Mural Walk – over 20 heritage murals to discover downtown.
- Chef-led dining and wine tastings at local wineries and restaurants.
- Allan Brooks Nature Centre – hands-on nature education and panoramic outlooks.
- Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre – world-renowned cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
- Polson Park – a serene city park perfect for strolls and picnics.

Whether guests are seeking lakeside relaxation, mountain adventure, or the excitement of Vernon’s urban attractions, staying in Foothills means everything you want is close by—making Hilltop Paradise the perfect home base in the Okanagan.

Welcome to our home on Apex Drive! We designed the top floor with two spacious bedrooms just for guests, so there’s plenty of privacy—your own sanctuary to unwind, enjoy and soak up the panoramic views that make this spot so special. From every window, you’ll see sweeping Okanagan scenery that never gets old: sunrise over the valley, sunsets behind the hills, and glimmers of distant lakes.

For added convenience, our home is designed with guest mobility in mind — featuring main floor living and a flat, wheelchair- and scooter-accessible pathway to the pool and yard.

We believe travel should feel both comfortable and inspiring, so the space is set up for relaxation—a bright open layout, cozy places to read or gather, plus a private deck for morning coffee or evening star-gazing. Rest easy knowing your suite is entirely yours during your stay.

Downstairs, there’s a separate suite where we live whenever we’re not away traveling. This means guests have total privacy upstairs, but we’re close enough to be available if you need recommendations, help, or a friendly chat about what to see and do in the area.

Hilltop Paradise is unique not just for its views and central Foothills location, but for the mix of quiet comfort and easy access to adventures. We hope our home becomes your Okanagan retreat—a place to relax deeply, wake up inspired, and create lasting memories.
