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.

Perfect Sunnyside Cottage

This cottage was absolutely perfect. So well appointed inside and the front porch and garden were wonderful to sit, relax and meet all the neighbourhood dogs. The location was ideal as so much was in walking distance and the neighbourhood is lovely. Great hists aswell.

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!

Best ever stay!!

The house and location were perfect. Comfortably furnished with great linens and bed. Lovely outdoor porch and so handy for the train which arrives every few minutes to go downtown and to the Stampede. Fantastic hosts and an awesome neighbourhood. Can’t believe how lucky we were finding Tim and Cathy’s place, it made our trip very special.

Stay at Urban cottage

I had a very nice stay. Felt very comfortable and homey. Sunny Side is a very nice area and an easy walk to a variety of restaurants and dog walking. If the weather hadn’t been so coldI think I would have done much more walking in to the city core just across the river.

Loved this cottage next to a beautiful city!

This location was perfect. The town was adorable. The cottage was just right for us and we even enjoyed the front porch heater with our coffee. The owner was in the unit right below us and was very helpful. Everything is so close and convenient. I wish I had more time to enjoy all of the restaurants and sites.

Host profile image
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.

Why they chose this property

This property is on the same block as our home and needed some loving. We have lived here for 25 years and think this is the best neighborhood in Calgary. This property has been fully upgraded and without losing its old charm .

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location!!!!! It ammenities and of course its unbelievable charm....
