We revisited this apartment for our stay in Deep Cove as we found the location and size perfect. This is a beautiful area in Vancouver, close to where my son lives and it suits us perfectly. Kathryn’s communication was excellent. We were able to access the property earlier on out check in day which suited us perfectly. The apartment felt like a home from home.
What can we say, we loved it! Our hosts were really friendly and very knowledgable about the local area offering loads of advice and tips on days out. Use of the kayaks was amazing, hummingbirds, squirells deer and my personal highlight the black bear all visited the property. Tha k youthe property
We did enjoy our first few nights in Vancouver in this quirky little house in Deep Cove. It was very clean and comfortable, well-equipped and especially cosy by the fireside while it poured with rain!
The mezzanine bedroom though fun is not for everyone! The spiral staircase is very narrow and impossible to bring a suitcase up, so all unpacking had to be downstairs in the room with the sofabed. It had several windows/skylights with no blinds or curtains, so the room never gets dark. Difficult when you have flown in from abroad and want to go to bed at 8.00!
The house was fun for a couple for a few days, but I think would have been difficult for more than two people.
We have just spent a lovely Christmas at this great property.
The location is perfect for all Deep Cove amenities in addition to the Baden Powell trail ( Quarry Rock) and all that Mt Seymour has to offer.
The fire was a real treat on Christmas Day and the owners thoughtfully provided us with a Christmas tree.
Communication was prompt and the owners were very friendly and accommodating.
A great place to stay in Deep Cove with its own designated parking space.
Great location and set up pretty good for family of 4 including two teenagers. A little unfinished round the edges but all in all perfect for a few nights.

Beautiful location, needs a little love
The house and its location were stunning! It’s a good place to stay to visit anywhere in the city, and the restaurants and cafes nearby are excellent. We absolutely adored the fireplace for the chilly BC mornings.If I had one critique, it would be that the sleeping arrangements are fairly uncomfortable. The loft bed was soft enough, but the second bedroom had a pullout bed that was hard and uneven (it was a lot like sleeping on a concrete slab at a 45 degree angle). I would love to see that bed replaced with something more cozy, and the stay would’ve been immaculate from start to finish.
Loved this little place. The loft was so cute and the amenities were great. Clean and comfy, lots of books, tv, fireplace. Would highly recommend for mountain getaway, close to mount Seymour and deep cove.
It rained throughout our stay but we were cozy and comfortable in this lovely cottage. The host was wonderful, too! We look forward to our next stay in Deep Cove.
We stayed for a few days and enjoyed everything about the cottage and outdoor spaces. Everything was clean and beautifully maintained. I loved the interior decor.
We got used to the spiral staircase to the loft pretty quickly.
We liked the sound of the stream that flows between the houses.
We liked being able to park at the property and walk down the hill into town and the beach. We joked that walking back up the street was training for the hike to Quarry Rock! We enjoyed that hike on a Monday morning. Great to have the access just up the street.
We rented kayaks from the kayak centre. So peaceful and refreshing!
The owners were friendly and helpful.
This place is perfect if you want to visit Vancouver and surrounding areas, but feel like you are in a forest oasis!! The space is clean, well decorated, with little touches - great art work, towels, bedding and dishware. The host has an amazing garden and close to the famous quarry rock trails. excellent dining in deep cove and great coffee meet up spots. I highly recommend this place. easy check in/out
Hidden gem in the middle of the lush West Coast rain forest, away from Vancouver busy streets but still close by. It was really hard for us to leave this place. Whole family enjoyed it.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It was just like the pictures showed. We did a lot of walking from the property to downtown Deep Cove. Its a steep hill for recommend good walking shoes. I was pleasantly surprised to be at an entrance to the Baden Powell trail. That was an incredible hike. A must do! Deep Cove had a little bit of everything and it was a close drive from the airport and other parts of BC. Thank you to Greg and Kathryn for a great stay!
A spectacular little place to stay, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The location is peaceful and a short walk from "downtown" Deep Cove for access to coffee/restaurants etc. The kitchen was well equipped for our needs, and we cooked several meals during our time here. Not sure what some of the previous critical reviews were about but we had zero concerns with the condition of the suite. It was clean, well appointed, and very comfortable.
The hosts were present and attentive without feeling intrusive or imposing. Very highly recommended. Would definitely stay here again.
