If you would like a truly beautiful (if not cheap) vacation, then either rent a houseboat on the Shuswap Lake or a cabin on the shore of the lake. Late July to early September (not this year, cooled early, but usually) is usually warm enough for swimming, and the scenery is amazing.
Salmon Arm was a rustic little BC interior town, devoted to mostly small farms and ranches - except that it has become a retirement mecca for the last 25 years. Much more money in town, so there are boutique cheese makers (Gourts - num) and wineries and honey and fruit and corn and butchers and so on. If you want it, somebody probably makes it and sells it. Don't eat for about two weeks before you get there because you will pop your rivets from just one more bite/sip.
