The Tiny Anchor Loft is proudly owned and operated by a mother-daughter duo. Jen, your host and co-owner, grew up in Vernon and now lives on the west coast. She is dedicated to providing exceptional guest care, available 24/7 to promptly respond to any questions or concerns, ensuring your stay is seamless and stress-free.

Wendy, the other half of the team and a housekeeping extraordinaire, lives locally in Vernon. She meticulously prepares the condo to ensure it’s spotless and perfectly set up for your arrival. Together, Jen and Wendy strive to make your stay at Tiny Anchor Loft unforgettable.

Escape the city while enjoying the Tiny Anchor Loft inside Vita Resort. The resort is located on the shores of majestic Okanagan Lake. Canoe Beach and Kin Beach are a two minute walk down the road and include a sandy swimming beach and a playground. Paddlewheel Park is a popular beach, playground, wedding venue and boat launch and is a 15 minute walk away.

Other attractions that are within walking distance include: walking/biking trails, disc golf, tennis courts, Marshall Fields (sports fields) and Vernon Pickleball Association's indoor complex. We are proud to be an official accommodations provider for Vernon Pickleball Association's tournaments! Another popular attraction in Vernon are the orange Neuron e-scooters and e-bikes that are available to rent for your leisurely ride - you can usually find a couple of these rentals parked outside the resort or across the street at the beach (check out our digital guidebook for a discount code).

Also nearby you will find The Rise Golf Course & Vineyard (the only Freddy Couples designed course in Western Canada), Paddlewheel Park + boat launch as well as family friendly Davidson's Orchard. Ellison Provincial Park is a hidden gem only 10 minutes away, while Kalamalka Provincial Park ("Kal Lake") and the Okanagan Rail Trail are also a short drive across town.

The Tiny Anchor Loft is driving distance to restaurants and shopping in downtown Vernon as well as Vernon General Hospital (less than 10 mins), Predator Ridge Golf Course (20 mins), Sovereign Lake Nordic Ski area (20 mins), Silver Star Mountain (30 mins), and wineries in neighbouring Lake Country (25 mins). If you're in town for marathons, Funtastics, or other sporting events we are not far at all from baseball diamonds, soccer fields, Kal Tire Place and more.

OKANAGAN LIFESTYLE: Okanagan Lake is a water sports paradise, offering everything from boating and fishing to stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking. Hike through the nearby forests and discover hidden waterfalls and breathtaking scenery. If you're looking for a little adventure, go wine tasting in the surrounding vineyards or explore charming downtown Vernon.

STUDENTS AND NURSES: We are less than 10 minutes to Vernon Jubilee Hospital and Okanagan College. UBC Okanagan Campus is 35 minutes away.

BRING YOUR BIKES: We are close to many biking trails including the mountain biking trails at Ellison Provincial Park and through the Commonage. There are many mountain biking trails up at Silver Star Mountain as well.

We are located inside Vita Lakefront Resort which is a newer resort to compliment The Strand and The Outback. This luxury resort is closer to town and many beaches than Vernon's older lakefront communities.

Tiny Anchor guests will have the entire condo to themselves. The resort's private gym and private pool are for the exclusive use of resort guests only, including Tiny Anchor guests.
There is a washer/dryer combo unit (free) in the condo but also a shared laundry facility (paid) within the resort.
Guests can also enjoy the onsite pickleball court outside or the inside gym.

Discover the perfect blend of luxury and nature at Tiny Anchor Loft, the premier studio located on the top floor of Vita Resort. Nestled directly across from the sparkling waters of Okanagan Lake, this corner unit offers stunning 180° views of the lake, mountains, vineyards, golf courses, orchards, and the charming city of Vernon. Whether you're seeking a peaceful lakeside retreat or an adventure-filled getaway, Tiny Anchor Loft is the ideal destination for your Okanagan vacation.

Tiny Anchor Loft features a modern and well laid out interior with all the amenities you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We also have an immersive and interactive digital guidebook with an AI trip planner and plenty of local recommendations to help make your memories here last a lifetime.

Visit to Vernon - Tiny Ancho Loft

Purpose of our trip was to visit relatives in Vernon. The Tiny Anchor Loft suited our needs nicely. Basic necessities were provided, very nice decor, and the condo was very clean and well organized. Although we weren't there in summer, It's a great area for walking or jogging and the beach is close by. When we needed to reach the owner, we were able to get in touch with her without difficulty. It's a small space but it certainly met our needs. I would recommend this accommodation without hesitation.

Lovely, clean unit with wonderful views. The end unit makes it feel more spacious with all the windows. The owners were responsive and accommodating. Would definitely stay there again. I would recommend a sleep mask for late risers as the window coverings do not block a lot of light.

Mother Daughter Weekend

We were very pleased with our stay in this super clean condo. Extra happy to see some spices and tea and coffee available! It was easy to find and check in was a breeze. The welcoming snack basket was very much appreciated and went above and beyond other places we have stayed at. We did find that the air conditioner made some strange noises. Also, the door to the balcony creaked when the early bird in our twosome tried to sit out there in the morning without disturbing the other. Overall, I would recommend this Tiny Loft to my friends.

About the host

Hosted by Jen Murray

Host profile image
We currently own two vacation rentals in beautiful British Columbia that we have listed. The Tiny Anchor Loft is a lakefront top floor condo with sweeping views from Okanagan Lake to Silver Star Mountain - located in the north Okanagan city of Vernon (@tinyanchorloft).

Our Family Friendly Guest Suite is in a great location in central Maple Ridge, BC. This spacious and bright ground level suite is minutes from Golden Ears Provincial Park, lakes + hiking trails and is less than an hour from downtown Vancouver (@mapleridgeairbnb).

We welcome guests from around the world to visit either location for their BC vacation. Our guests can take comfort in knowing at either location they will receive the same outstanding hospitality that we’ve built a reputation on and has earned us ongoing Superhost status.

Why they chose this property

I grew up in Vernon and have always wanted to have a place to call our own that we can bring our kids to and build memories. Nothing beats summertime in the Okanagan! When the opportunity came up to purchase The Tiny Anchor Loft it was a dream come true!

We are so happy to be able to share our condo and this beautiful part of the world with others.

What makes this property unique

Our top floor, corner unit features sweeping views and is one of only 3 rental units with side windows. Enjoy a romantic getaway for two or even bring the kids as there's so much to do at the resort, at the lake, or at other nearby attractions.
