Our stay at the Urban Cottage was simply outstanding. The home is inviting, cozy and equipped with everything we needed. The property and yard are very attractive and in fact, was awarded a prize for the best Christmas decorations in the entire neighbourhood. The central location was walking distance to parks, playgrounds, restaurants and shopping. Our hosts were very friendly, responsive and accommodating. We look forward to staying at the Cottage again.

Great location and very pretty cottage

Great location for us to meet up with family and friends living in SW and NW. Good place for our older Dog who needs a little more TLC than a kennel can give. Cottage is beautiful and we were happy to stay there!

Great place

The cottage was great! I was in Calgary for a convention and the location just two blocks from the train made getting around very easy. The neighborhood was extra quiet and pleasant. The cottage was comfortable- especially the bed. It was very well equipped even though I never used anything but the Keurig machine. If I ever find myself back in Calgary I definitely would rebook.

Homeowners are long time Calgarians and proud Sunnyside residents who live next door to this rental property. We waited 20 years to purchase this home and turn it into the charming rental cottage we knew it could be. The transformation of this home has been very rewarding and we look forward to sharing this lovely home and our neighborhood with people from all over the world. We love to travel as well and have tried to make this a place what we would love to rent when visiting another city. We hope you love it as much as we do.
