Seaside Garden Cottage on Scenic Indian Arm, North Vancouver

Newly installed Air Conditioning! This seaside cottage is the guest house on our property in the Woodlands area of North Vancouver. Indian Arm is the southernmost glacial fjord on the west coast of North America, extending 10 miles northeast inland from Burrard Inlet and Vancouver harbour. Located on the eastern slope of Mount Seymour, the Woodlands area is a paradise for hiking, kayaking and mountain biking, where you are minutes away from the North Shore's Baden Powell Trail, Quarry Rock and legendary mountain biking terrain.

The Cottage itself is a 2 story, 650 square foot building. It is newly renovated with stainless steel appliances, quartz counter-tops, wood stove, a private deck, garden and patio with a propane barbecue. Upstairs there is a queen bed, sofa, and TV with surround sound.
The Woodlands area is a secluded group of waterfront properties on the shore of Indian Arm, just north of Deep Cove. Part of the Woodlands adventure is the road. Indian River Drive was built in 1909 to connect Woodlands to the rest of North Vancouver. It was not paved until the 1990s, and today is a beautiful 5KM winding trip through mature second growth rain forest.
Summertime at Woodlands is glorious and beautiful. The property faces east, so you will enjoy the sunrise. Then there's winter. It rains here in the winter. A lot. Nearby Deep Cove is sometimes called 'Deepest Darkest Cove' during the November - March months. It doesn't snow here often, but when it does we have to park at the top of the Fire Lane and hike to and from the house. Keeps us fit, though. We have a propane supply, a firewood supply and a backup generator. We are ready for the zombie apocalypse. Or winter at Woodlands. Whichever comes first. You can stay here in the winter if you really want to, but don't say we didn't warn you!

Short weekend getaway.
Beautiful spot with some awesome views we didn’t take enough advantage of during our short trip. Would be a perfect spot for just chilling out or as a hiking base camp. Super friendly hosts!

6 Star Gem on the Vancouver Coast
If we could give this property 6 stars instead of 5 we would. Jodi & Ken are absolutely wonderful hosts, the 'cottage' is amazing. Love the view and the feel of the place. The Kitchen is fully stocked with tools/utensils you'll need. The linens/towels are wonderful fabric and we LOVED the soap... (need to find out where to get it for our home). The Attic bedroom is quaint/comfortable and was romantic for celebrating our 20th anniversary. We'll definitely be back and will check out their other Granite Falls Getaway locations.

Indian Arm North Shore Cottage
This is a great property for our first visit to Vancouver. It was very remote yet close to downtown and all attractions. Great view of the water from the bedroom window and lower deck that hosts allowed us to use. The peace and quiet was very relaxing. Excellent recent renovation and everything needed was in the cottage. One minor issue was that clothes washer was not operational but it was not a major issue since the hosts allowed us to use their laundry equipment in the next door main house. It was a perfect choice for our stay and just the right size for two people. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend this unique property.

A Slice of the Good Life
This property sits high above the Indian Arm, with the cottage tucked up behind the residence, surrounded by lush gardens. Jodi and Ken are so welcoming and hospitable with their stunning residence. What a treat to experience living the good life, if only for a week! We took every advantage of the many walking & hiking trails both in and around Vancouver and on up to Squamish. It was so nice to come back to such a clean, well-appointed, charming cottage - to the wonderful shower, beautiful kitchen, air conditioning - cook dinner and relax while watching the far side of the fjord glow as the sun sets behind us. However, believe Jodi and Ken when they say their cottage is not suitable for those with mobility challenges. Nor if you're uncomfortable navigating the steep and narrow final stretch of the drive. But, it is SO worth it!

This is a delightful cottage in a gorgeous setting. The owners have created a cozy retreat and will make you feel at home in every way. As it says in the description, there ARE stairs. We just figured it added to the adventure and the landings that overlook the water are worth every step. We look forward to staying at some of their other properties as well. This is a find.

Paradise found
The cottage and the hosts were amazing;). We spent our days lying on the dock, swimming, paddle boarding and kayaking. The evenings looking over the ocean. Jodi and Ken were so kind to let us use the kayaks and paddleboard. The feeling of serenity that we had during our stay is still with us. What a magical place:). We just did a staycation and are from Vancouver but it is a whole other world of forest and ocean over there. Thanks Jodi and Ken for making our vacation something very special!!

Is this heaven?
My husband and I quarantined here at the end of the pandemic, and I swear it was the reward for the last 14 months of lockdown. The cottage is adorable, even luxurious. The views are some of the prettiest we've seen anywhere in t. The sea the world.. The sea air, the cedars, the beautiful garden--it was like being transported to a spa. I even did yoga outside on the deck one morning. We would love to come back. Jodi and Ken were great hosts and helpful in every way. We'd love to come back next summer.. Right now, we're downtown Vancouver seeing our one-year-old granddaughter we've only known on Zoom!
