This award-winning, 2600 sq. ft. home is luxuriously furnished with modern amenities and surrounded by views of British Columbia's Coastal Mountains. The Dutch Colonial style of this professionally decorated 3-bedroom and 3.5 bathroom heritage home was lovingly maintained throughout a complete renovation in 2007. Updated to offer you modern amenities such as wireless internet, in-floor bathroom heating, pillow-top mattresses, and flat-panel televisions in each bedroom, Haddon House provides the perfect setting for your corporate retreat or family vacation.
All three bedrooms are elegantly furnished with a king or queen size bed, plush armchairs and air conditioning. There are three bathrooms, two of which are ensuite, as well as a powder room off the main floor.
In the library (4th bedroom) you will find a host of tourist information; a desk with phone, laptop, printer and wireless internet access; as well as a kitchenette area. On the main floor, the dining and living rooms seat 8 guests comfortably, with a baby grand piano, handsome fireplace and beautiful garden views. Cooks will delight in the gourmet kitchen spaciously designed with a professional range, stainless steel appliances and a cozy breakfast nook. Enjoy the vast rear deck outfitted with a natural gas barbeque and plenty of seating area. There is ample room for parking and the estate-sized gardens are lush, yet useable.
One block from Haddon House lies Deer Lake - one of Metro Vancouver's best-kept secrets with its abundance of walking and biking trails, canoe and paddle-boat rentals and picnic areas. Also within easy walking distance is the area's cultural hub with live performances taking place year-round. Drive a short 5 minutes to British Columbia's largest shopping mall, or park your car for the day and take a 15-minute Skytrain ride into the heart of Vancouver's downtown.
While you vacation at Haddon House you’re free to have exclusive use of all the home has to offer. There is a separate self-contained hosts' suite in the basement, permitting the hosts to offer you complete privacy but also additional complimentary concierge services, if desired. These would include assistance with tourist information and directions, dining and other reservations as well as drop-off at train and public transport stations.

My group of 7 friends spent 3 nights at Haddon House. Our only regret was that we could not stay longer. The house is beautifully renovated with all the modern conveniences but exuded old-world charm. The description provided does not do the house justice. This is one of the best homes I've had the privilege of renting. The kitchen and refrigerator were so well stocked that even our group of 7 did not have enough time to enjoy all the fresh fruits and bakery items supplied. We so enjoyed the house that we chose to return each evening for dinner rather than going out to a restaurant. The hosts are totally committed to providing a wonderful experience and went out of their way to accomplish that effect. The location is very convenient to getting around the greater Vancouver area, but in a quiet neighborhood of lovely homes. We would recommend Haddon House to anyone looking for a comfortable, charming, luxurious home away from home.

We ended a trip from Seattle, through Victoria, in Vancouver, and staying in the wonderfully charming Haddon House. We had our 3 generation family staying there, and our hosts were so friendly and accommodating, we would have liked to have spent more time just relaxing at the property; but there was also so much sight-seeing to do! There is a beautiful lake at the end of the road, called Deer Lake, and on our first evening, we walked all around it - that's a lovely thing to do, and so it makes the property so well located. We enjoyed cooking and eating together in the house (many basics and more were provided, which was a lovely touch because it meant that we didn't have to rush out shopping straight away for a change), and we also made use of the bbq, and outside dining area. All in all, this is a great place to make home for a few nights, very charming, and a wonderful base from which to explore the Vancouver area.

First of all I would like to thank Marie and JOhannes for allowing me and my family to spend our weeklong holiday in their lovely Haddon House. The house was way beyond my expectations and the host was really hospitable. The kitchen was stocked with the basic necessaties and it was very easy to use all the appliances. The appliances are all modern and of great quality. Most importantly, my kids really enjoyed playing the grand piano although they hardly played it at home. Duchess, the labrador was very friendly and my kids couldnt wait to see her on every morning hoping to touch and play with her. Host was not intrusive and we have our privacy throughout our stay. I highly recommend Haddon House to those who are looking for a charming yet modern holiday home with a beautiful styled engish garden as your yard. You will not regret once you have decided on this one. Besides these points, the location of Haddon House is a short drive to the city, Grouse Mountain and Capilano Bridge which are the main attractions in Vancouver.

We stayed a week at the Haddon House for our daughter's wedding. It was a wonderful place to stay and we felt right at home. Our whole family were able to be together for this special time. Marie Louise and Johannes were wonderful hosts, we felt so welcome and we would love to stay with them again.
