Silver Star Mountain, BC

.. Closest / Best Winter Recreation
Nowhere in the Okanagan can you get from lakeshore to a mountain resort faster than from Paddlewheel Villas. In fact from your lakeshore deck you can see the slopes of Silver Star Resort, recently named North Americas BEST Family Resort for 2004. A quick weather check up the slopes, a 31 km (all paved) drive and you are in a recreational wonderland that’s active all year round. For more winter variety take advantage of the Silver Star / Big White dual mountain passes.

.. Best Air Service
Commuters and frequent flyers can take advantage of direct flights to both Calgary and Vancouver (as well as a variety of other destinations) from the Vernon Regional airport located approximately 2 km from your Paddlewheel Villas home. If the local scheduling from Northern Hawk Aviation at www.northernhawk.com does not suit your travel needs the Kelowna International Airport is only a half hour to forty-five minute drive.

Predator Ridge World Class Golf

.. Championship / Affordable Golf
Great golf is abundantly close from Paddlewheel Villas with more than half a dozen golf courses within a half hour drive and more than a dozen within an hour drive. Although there are three golf courses closer, Predator Ridge at 13.3 km from your door is the jewel of the North Okanagan. The Okanagan Hills championship golf course is under construction right across the lake and when finished many of the holes will be visible from your Paddlewheel Villa’s home/deck. Whether you are looking for championship golf, or walk on nine or eighteen hole public golf you will not find; more availability, closer proximity; more available t-times, and more "local resident discount rates" than Vernon.

Okanagan Lake Breath-taking Scenery

.. Calmest Water / Fewest Boats
If you are a water/boat enthusiast we guarantee you wont find calmer water than at the north end of Okanagan lake. If the slalom course and the "Vernon Bay" in front of your Paddlewheel Villas home is a little crowded for your preference, the grassy banks of sparsely populated "Indian Arm" offers the best water on Okanagan Lake. For skiing /boarding /footing or just plain cruising you can not beat the north end of Okanagan Lake.

A true four season playground, Vernon really is "Top Of The Okanagan".
