About this group of co-located holiday homes

Make yourselves at home with your friends and family with your private suite all to yourselves, in our gorgeous his 1907 gem has been lovingly restored by it's previous architect owner to suit modern standards, while the are old beautiful character has been carefully preserved.

The two private, but joinable suites, Cottonwood Crown (sleeping 8), and Cottonwood Canopy (sleeping 6) can be rented together or separately to suit the size of your group. Combined, these suites can be joined to comfortably sleep 14 while still being affordable for 6. There are 3 private rooms, and 3 shared rooms with a total of 4 big beds and 3 comfortable foldout sofas. You will love being able to eat together in the main floor kitchen, or outside with the barbecue on the back deck, which leads onto the magical back garden.

The garden in the back is extra large for the area and fully fenced in for privacy and safety for children. There is abundant outdoor seating on the back deck and on the garden patio, as well as a full size outdoor table for picnicking in the garden. There is even seating on top of the garden shed that enables one to look out over downtown Vancouver, which is particularly beautiful at night.

We provide all the amenities you need to take care of yourself, and include unlimited services in our rates. There is one kitchen in each suite, fully stocked for self-catering, a laundry room, full cable television, broadband wireless Internet throughout the house, and free long distance calls! Parking is free and available on the street in front of the house.

Cottonwood Gardens is located in Strathcona which is Vancouver's oldest residential neighborhood. This amazing and unique neighborhood has a sense of community that can't always be found even in a small town. An amazing example of this is that the neighbourhood was earmarked for demolition in the early 1950s as part of an urban renewal program. Strathcona would have been transformed into blocks of identical apartment buildings, but development was stopped by opposition from the community. Thanks to the strength of the community and their intense love for their neighborhood, Strathcona is still filled with late 19th and early 20th century architecture which is a relative rarity in Vancouver. Walking through the neighborhood, you will see that many houses in Strathcona are designated heritage houses, and Cottonwood Gardens is no exception.

We are very fortunate to have all the best areas of Vancouver within walking distance, while still being hidden away in the quaint historic neighborhood of Strathcona. Cottonwood is only 2km from the 2010 Olympic central hub, and Downtown Vancouver. From cafés, sports and entertainment, to beaches and forests; it is all a walk away!

Traveling can be expensive, risky, stressful, and exhausting. We provide you with an info-pack to help you acclimatize and explore, and a helpful manager is always on call, if ever you have questions, or need a hand. We make it simple so you can enjoy your holiday in this idyllic city. This is an ideal rental for pretty much any kind of travel you can imagine, from a business trip to a family holiday, we have what it takes to makes your stay in Vancouver a memorable one!

Guestbook for Cottonwood House

Dear Alex, Camille & Gabe - how wonderful this place is! What a fabulous location in a fascinating and beautiful neighborhood and city (close to great ice-cream too!)! Excellent bed! Thank you for everything. We'll be back for sure! So much to see and do. Gail and Craig, Anchorage, Alaska, USA, March, 2011.

First; the owners are exceptional! Beyond helpful, professional and quick to respond. Though they live on the premises, you would NEVER know they were there! The home feels very safe and cozy. It has a character and warmth that's lacking in motels and hotels. It felt like I was at my own home and all the amenities were there and then some! The neighborhood was so residential and quiet, that it was hard to believe that we could EASILY walk to much of the downtown area. The bus system or taxis were easy to understand and use too. I didn't even bother to drive my car anywhere. House is VERY clean and well maintained. Backyard is beautiful. Photos are accurate, but don't quite do the place justice. Beds are very comfy and the inside temperature was easy to adjust; so we were never too hot or too cold. I would absolutely recommend this place to family and friends! I plan to rent this place again in the near-future. As for attractions, etc.; there are SO MANY things to do and see, it's hard to choose. Just about anything you want to do is easy to get to. There are various ethnic restaurants within walking distance. I definately say you must go to La Casa Gelato, which is less than 2 blocks from the house. It is an ice cream, sorbet, fro-yo, gelato shop with maybe 100 flavors. They let you have lots of free samples too. You can get pizza, Indian and Asian food delivered to the house. Or walk to China Town and eat in at Hon's. Excellent food at a reasonable price. If you like to bicycle, this house is the perfect place to stay. The neighborhood and beyond have more bicyclists than I've ever seen, yet they are all respectful of pedestrians; as are the 4-wheel vehicles. Hard to believe there is so much activity in the area, because it's very very quiet and serene. BTW: I had NEVER met the owners or stayed here before; yet I felt instantly at ease and felt like I was staying with my favorite relatives. Alex even went out and swept snow off my car that had accumulated the night before. And he shoveled the porch and sidewalk to my car. I've rented a number or vacation rentals and this one rates in my Top 5! I'll be back for sure! Shelly, Snohomish, Washington, USA, February. 2011.

Thank-you, Alex and Camille, for opening up your house to us. We had the nicest time. This is a great walking neighborhood. The walk to Chinatown was "doable" and the food at Hons was worth it! The house was inviting as well as the hosts! Bev, Marysville, Washington, USA, February 2011.

Thanks for the wonderful accommodations! We enjoyed food from "Uprising Bread" & "Sweet Cherubim" on Commercial. Favourite park - Pacific Spirit. Best crab fishing...Belcarra! Hope to return, soon. Fred & Lorraine - Grimsby, Ontario, January, 2011.

“It’s sometimes not easy to find a place that you can quickly call “home” when you are thousands of miles away from your home… But this time we’ve found such a place: your house, dear Camille and Alex, with Cottonwood Crown apartment. There was nothing we really missed and the beds were so good, we slept like in heaven.
The fact that one of the most wonderful cities in the world is just a stone’s throw away made our stay even better. Vancouver offers such a variety of attractions we couldn’t decide which one we preferred: was it the awesome “skyscapery” downtown or busy “shippery” harbour bay or peaceful “flowery” parks and mountains…
We’ll never forget Vancouver, this house and you, Camille & Alex.
Thank you and all the best.
