About Twin Creeks Motel
Anyone driving Highway 6 east from Vernon finds the country changing as the Okanagan gives way to farm and forest, and Lumby is the last proper service stop before the road climbs toward the Monashees. Twin Creeks Motel stands in the village at 1643 Vernon Street, close in rather than stranded on an anonymous frontage road. The creeks that give the place its name are part of the water running through town on its way into the Shuswap River system.
A village motel does different work than a highway chain. Guests tend to be a mix: crews working in the bush or on a job somewhere in the valley, hunters and anglers in their seasons, snowmobilers through the winter when the backroad trails fill up, families visiting relatives on the surrounding acreages, and travellers breaking the long drive between the Okanagan and the Kootenays. Rooms in small operations vary more than they do in a franchise, so it is worth asking what you are actually getting, whether that means a kitchenette, a setup that suits a longer stay, or a room that will take a dog.
Phone 250-547-9221 rather than assuming a room will be free. Buildings this size fill fast when a crew books in for a stretch of work, and fair weekend, hunting season and holidays can absorb the lot. The website at twincreeks-motel.com is the other way to reach them. Worth raising on the call: parking for a truck and trailer or a sled deck, whether a ground floor room is available, and what time the office closes, since late arrivals in a village are a matter for arrangement rather than a staffed night desk.
