We are frequent travelers and would rate Samantha’s home on Trout Lake as one of our favs that we have ever stayed. The place was spotless, modern, tastefully designed (not sterile but not cluttered either), had everything we needed to feel at home, and was an easy walk to fantastic restaurants (Jamjar!), cafes (Flourist Bakery!), a big supermarket, pharmacy, and the metro station to take us a few minutes to the heart of downtown Vancouver. Coming back home with our teenage daughter after a day of exploring to eat dinner in the back garden and then relax in the hot tub was the best. On our first morning, we all walked the beautiful 20-minute loop around the lake behind the house and stopped at the little beach to take in the view of the mountains. This BNB covered our fav type of vacay, spending the day in a bustling city full of exciting culture but coming home to quiet relaxation. Samantha was quick, thorough and thoughtful in all her communication with us, and check-in and check-out was a breeze. We would highly recommend this wonderful home and plan to come back again! Thanks Sam and fam!
