Renovated, spacious and bright North Shore garden oasis

In the heart of Central Lonsdale, in the city of North Vancouver, this 1910 “Craftsman-era” heritage home is surrounded by 100+ year old cedar and fir trees and beautiful perennial flower beds. A corner lot, on the top of the 19th street hill, with a view of Lions Gate bridge, Burrard Inlet, and Lighthouse Park, this garden oasis is secluded, yet located within easy access to the downtown, the North Shore Mountains, and even Whistler Village. Simply the perfect base to explore and enjoy Vancouver for the first time or while visiting family and friends!
Our home offers a renovated, fully furnished 700 square foot one bedroom self-contained basement suite. Please note if you are taller than 5’10 you may have to slightly duck! Guests are treated to a private entrance accessed via natural stone steps on the North side of the house, just off the gardens. The steps could be somewhat challenging for anyone with significant mobility issues. Motion detector lighting illuminates the path. Parking is available at the front of the house or above the back driveway. You are welcome to use the table/chairs ourside the suite door, but please no smoking/vaping in the suite or anywhere on the property.
Bright and spacious, the floor to ceiling windows in the kitchen area offer peekaboo views of the North Shore. The suite boasts an open plan, carpeting and slate tiles throughout, and all the necessary amenities including in suite laundry. High speed internet access via WIFI, separate controls to base board and forced air heating ensures you can relax and enjoy your home away from home.
We are located close to a number of must see Vancouver sites. Just above the driveway you are immediately at the new North Shore Green Necklace walking path leading into Greenwood Park. For those skiing and biking enthusiasts, or if you just want to take in some hiking, bear watching or spectacular views, there is easy driving access to Grouse Mountain (11 minutes), Mount Seymour (20 minutes), Cypress Bowl (30 minutes), and Whistler Mountain (75 minutes). Other popular destinations like Capilano Suspension Bridge (7 minutes), Stanley Park (10 minutes), Park Royal Shopping Mall (8 minutes) and the Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal (16 minutes), are only a short drive away. Or take a leisurely walk or convenient bus ride down Lonsdale and enjoy Lonsdale Quay, and the shops, restaurants, waterpark or ice rink (depending on the season) at the Shipyards. At the base of Lonsdale, take the 12 minute Seabus ride across the water to enjoy downtown Vancouver. Be sure to have you camera ready as you take in spectacular views of the city, mountains, and Burrard Inlet while riding this passenger only ferry.
And if need be, Lions Gate Hospital is a 1 minute car ride, or 13 minute walk away.

The Best VRBO Stay I’ve Experienced!
We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed every minute of being at this beautiful property! Frances and Terrence were so welcoming and friendly, great communication but also very respectful of our privacy-striking a perfect balance. The pictures do not do this accommodation justice, it’s cozy, spacious, beautifully decorated, and fully stocked with everything you could ever need for your stay. It felt like a real home away from home! Also can’t forget to mention the gorgeous garden and perfect North Van location. We loved our stay so much and are looking forward to returning. Thank you Frances and Terrence for your wonderful hospitality!

A five star experience all around!!!
OMG! The place was not only beautiful, but should be the industry standard for cleanliness and appearance for VRBO’s and hotels. Everything was beyond expectation, secluded away in a restorative tree surrounded environment. It is only walking distance from the North Vancouver area (although it is at the top of a very tall hill — which is absolutely a part of the charm!). Make sure to watch the sunset from the quaint patio area and if you are lucky, the moonset. It is a story book environment if you wish to restore your soul, or are inspired to do some contemplative work. The homeowners are very respectful of space and hospitality. Make sure to bring them a gift, because the place you’re staying is their gift to you.

Fantastic location
As a solo woman traveler, I felt safe in the house and neighborhood. Frances greeted me when I checked in and was very friendly and helpful. The location is close to transit and was easy to get around the city. Everything was comfortable and made me feel relaxed at the end of the day.

The hostess was awesome. The place was immaculate would stay here again. She described the steps to the place very carefully in her posting, but if you are unsteady at your feet, it could be difficult. Love to view the gardens were awesome you could not ask for more.

Home away from home
Everything about this property exceeded expectations. Frances and Terence were wonderful; welcoming, kind, and very willing to share their local knowledge. The grounds were beautiful, the pictures do not convey just how lovely the gardens on their property are. The accommodation itself suited our needs to a tee. The furnishings were new and well maintained, the bed very comfortable, and the little extras (umbrellas, extra beach towels etc.) were a pleasant surprise. Restaurants, bakeries, Starbucks etc. were a 10 minute walk and the bus stop providing easy access to the SeaBus and downtown Vancouver, was a short walk away. A wonderful stay!!!! Thanks Frances an Terence.
