We loved our stay at the Rose Cottage. It was exactly as described in the listing- overlooking the beautiful Trout Lake, a short walk to Commercial Drive (where we went almost everyday for great food and coffee), a short drive to downtown for good eats and the Art Museum, and easy gorgeous drives to Stanley Park (fantastic!), Lynn Canyon (peaceful and serene), and Cypress Provincial Park (a range of trails that overlook impressive mountains and endless beautiful trees). It was also an easy drive to and from the airport. Colin was a generous and helpful host. Any time we needed clarification or assistance, he was only a text away. It was a new adventure every day we spent in Vancouver, and we were grateful to have a calm, clean, cozy, private, safe cottage to return to at the end of each day. Perfectly clear instructions throughout the cottage regarding recycling, clean-up, and maintenance. Colin also made sure we had our "resident" parking pass for the Saturday morning farmer's market. Just a quick note to future guests- most vendors at the farmer's market only accept Canadian cash. Other perks: free Wi-Fi, free and convenient parking, and full kitchen.
