About this property

Sustainably built garden suite, steps from Whyte Ave, river valley & university!

The Bark House is a newly constructed suite located above our detached garage in Old Strathcona and features the work of local artists and artisans. The suite offers a uniquely welcoming and relaxing space from which to explore Edmonton's river valley, summer festivals, or the many attractions of Whyte Avenue.

You will be walking distance from the Old Strathcona Farmer's Market and Theatre District, and centrally located for short commutes to the University of Alberta, Rogers Place and Ice District, Alberta Legislature, Kinsmen Sports Centre, and downtown.

Great access to running and cycling routes, golf courses, parks, ski trails, and natural areas.

Minutes away from hundreds of restaurants, shops, live music venues, and pubs, and just a few blocks from Edmonton's growing craft brewery district.

Fully equipped kitchen where you can turn your market fresh finds into your favourite meal, and a dishwasher to help with the cleanup.

In suite laundry and custom wardrobe are perfect for business travellers, athletes, or longer stays.

Built by Marchand & Houston, and completed in 2023
High performance Innotech windows flood the suite with natural light, while frosted windows and exterior blinds provide privacy.

Our favourite short term rental that we’ve been to! The place is beautifully designed and has cool features and modern furnishings. The mattress was exceptionally comfy. Great location close to walking and biking trails. Will definitely be going back!

Bark House- Innovative and Charming

We enjoyed our stay at Bark House. Very attractive decor and design. Great neighborhood for people without a car and like to explore on foot. Nicely equipped kitchen and good storage. The heat pump had some issues with cooling, but I’m sure that will be fixed. Owners live next door and were very responsive to any questions or problems. A place to return to!

Impressive place in the perfect location

I have been renting the Bark house for friends when they visit because I don't have space in my own house and this is what they had to say - "Wow! What an incredible stay at the Bark House. Everything in this apartment was impeccable, and every detail considered. The space is great for remote working. Plus, being a few minutes from Whyte Ave, Mill Creek, and the river valley makes this spot a great option for getting the best of Edmonton."
