Incredible getaway, but close to everything
I had a fantastic holiday stay here with my husband, my sister, her husband and teenage daughter. We wanted someplace where we could enjoy the natural scenic beauty of the region, but still have easy access to the great restaurants and activities in metro Van, and this place was a fantastic fit. It made our Christmas holiday feel so cozy to stay in a real home (incl. seasonal decor that our host put up for us) yet there was plenty of space for us and the cleanliness and amenities were top notch. I think the property looks even nicer in person, and the views over North Van and across the sound are really incredible all day and any kind of weather conditions.
I booked this place for the hot tub with a great view (and it was lovely) but we actually enjoyed the two fireplaces just as much and the comfortable seating options in both rooms made it easy for our 5 person group to spread out or cluster as desired. Our host Iva was very easy to get in touch with, and went over everything we might need to know in advance. The property backs into a wooded area that had nice trails. You do need to drive in order to run any kind of errands, but we used our rental car to get groceries, etc and then parked at the SeaBus (commuter ferry) terminal and didn't bother bringing the car into metro Van.
I can't recommend the property enough, and my family agrees we'd love to book it again for another trip.
