Review from Shalisa S.

This is everything you hope for in a bed and breakfast. Friendly, but not obtrusive innkeepers; cozy quarters with a heavenly bed; a convenient location that's out of the mainstream; and a breakfast that keeps you full all day.
You will not be disappointed...but bring your stretchy pants. -

I found this place while searching online for a cute place to stay during part of our honeymoon in Vancouver. I read some great reviews, looked through the website and photos, and decided it would be wonderful.
We arrived in Vancouver a little early, but our room was ready and Lynn gave us a warm welcome. Our room was even more comfortable than pictures depicted. We stayed in Ivy's room and had a king size bed, a flat screen tv, and even a little netbook with wifi in case we wanted to get online.
Lynn and Michael knew we were celebrating our honeymoon as well as my birthday, and had a nice handwritten note for us with a bottle of local wine. There were also freshly baked cookies waiting for us along with a very comprehensive folder of places to eat and visit in the area.
The guest house is in a very convenient location. We were able to walk to many bars and restaurants on the drive. Such great places nearby!
The breakfasts here are to die for. They are absolutely amazing, delicious, beautiful, and the list of adjectives goes on and on! If I lived in Vancouver, I think I would choose to stay here at least once a month to indulge in their gourmet breakfasts.
I really can't say enough great things about this place. I will recommend it to everyone looking for a nice and affordable lodging option in Vancouver. I can't wait to go back and visit again!

History
Established in 2010
The house was originally built in 1908 by the Dowling family. The ownership passed through a variety of hands until we purchased it in 2005. Our rooms are named for some of the women who lived in the home in the last century, including Ivy, who was the original owner, Florence was Ivy's daughter, and Molly who purchased the home in 1936. Our top suite is named the Lions' Loft because it has a lovely view of the Lions, a mountain formation on the north shore across from Vancouver.
Meet the Business Owner: Lynn F.
Lynn & Michael are co-owners of this business. Our past experience does not include running a guest house, but we love food and we love people - the most important requirements for giving guests an enjoyable experience when they stay with us!
