- Minimum stay:N/A
- Internet:Yes
- Pets allowed:No
- Wheel chair accessible:No
This heritage home has been lovingly restored to reflect the original character of this 1907 gem, but has all of the conveniences of a more modern home; 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths as well as two private living rooms with foldout beds, can accommodate up to 14 people, but 2 kitchens and private entrances allow separation of the two suites to accommodate smaller groups (8 upstairs, 6 downstairs). We are working hard to make this property as eco-friendly as possible through the use of non-toxic cleaners and laundry detergents, high efficiency light bulbs, and recycling and composting. The property offers abundant deck space and an extra large, private back garden (w/barbeque and outdoor seating for 14). We provide you with all of the information you need to help you acclimate and explore from this convenient location, and a helpful manager is always on call, if ever you have questions, or need a hand. We make it easy to enjoy your holiday in this idyllic city.
Cottonwood Gardens is located in Strathcona which is Vancouver's oldest residential
neighborhood. This amazing and unique neighborhood has a sense of community
that can't always be found even in a small town. An amazing example of this is
that the neighbourhood was earmarked for demolition in the early 1950s as part of
an urban renewal program. Strathcona would have been transformed into blocks
of identical apartment buildings, but development was stopped by opposition
from the community. Thanks to the strength of the community and their intense
love for their neighborhood, Strathcona is still filled with late 19th and early 20th
century architecture which is a relative rarity in Vancouver. Walking through the
neighborhood, you will see that many houses in Strathcona are designated heritage
houses, and Cottonwood Gardens is no exception.

If you toured this house and met the owners, I guarantee you would lease this place in a heartbeat! I have leased a number of homes for vacations and I have never met any owners as nice or as honest as Camille and Alex! The location is excellent and you can walk to so many places of interest. Catching a bus is easy too. The neighborhood is very very quiet and we felt safe there. As for the variety of restaurants; there are so many great places, you can get pretty-much whatever you want. There's even delivery! The home is very clean and it was nice to have all the amenities such as the coffee maker, linens, etc. etc. at our disposal. The owners were so polite and answered our miriad of questions and they are super-quick at responding to needs. Owners live on property, but you would NEVER ever know it. We never heard a sound from them, except when Alex was shoveling snow off the steps and street for us. I would and WILL recommend this house to my friends, family and even strangers. Fact is, I plan to rent this place again! If you want to feel like you are at home, and you want close, easy access to almost everything; a clean place, outstanding owners at a reasonable rate, then this IS the place for you!!! And just in case you are wondering, I had never met the owners prior to renting this place; yet they are so welcoming, they never felt like strangers.Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, adventure seekers.
