This modern cottage is gracefully designed. The attention to detail for practical purposes - from lighting to fixtures to furnishings - results in a space that is at once elegant and comfortable.

Overlooking Trout Lake Park, I thought it might be a little out of the way but it’s in fact a short, pleasant walk to main transit lines, with the bustling section of Commercial Drive not much further beyond. There's a great neighbourhood feel to the area.

Our hosts were cheerful and accommodating.
