CUTE COUNTRY COTTAGE - Walk to Winery & Berry Farm - Private Deck - Vancouver

***Please see our May 2020 Update in the Owner's Profile regarding our efforts and commitment to the safety and well-being of our guests.***

--YOUR ACCOMMODATIONS--
Experience the Canadian countryside in a bright family cottage that sits on 10 acres of park-like grounds in Vancouver's horse & wine country!

Only 10 mins to Historic Fort Langley shops, museums & restaurants. Located next to popular Krause Berry Farms & Winery and 2 mins to Thunderbird Show Park. Just 45 minutes to Vancouver.

Features a private 1.2 km nature trail, WiFi, HDTV, fully-equipped kitchen, washer & dryer and private deck. It's the perfect place for your Vancouver country vacation!

***Special VRBO/HomeAway Property Feature***
Enjoy our 1.2 km hiking trail that winds through our own private Pacific Northwest forest reserve. Make sure to bring your cameras on the trail as resident owls, woodpeckers and rabbits may come out and entertain you as you walk by the towering cedar, spruce and pine trees.

Inside the cottage-style unit, you can relax and unwind in the quaint 2 bedroom + 1 bath family vacation rental. The dwelling is completely separate from the owner's main house and has its own private entry. Plus, because it is not a basement suite, there are no noisy footsteps above you. It feels like your own little getaway out in the countryside!

One of our guests best described our place:

“In the morning, we sipped our coffees on the patio before taking a short stroll to buy some fresh, local honey. We rented bikes and took a leisurely bike ride through the countryside. We worked up an appetite for some of the best homemade strawberry shakes and fruit pies at the farm just next door.
In the evening, we had a nice gourmet dinner at a local winery, and then watched an outdoor movie at the drive-in nearby. When we got back to the unit, we fell asleep to the soothing sounds of the frogs out on the pond. It was a terrific day in the country!"
