Our secluded unconventional house in North Vancouver is quite magical. Its nestled up in the tress of 2 acres of private rainforest. Mountain biking, skiing, kayaking, hiking, golfing, beaches within 7 mins. Downtown Vancouver only 20 minutes away.

The space
Our 4400 Sq Ft (410 square meters) house is quite unique. Modern rustic in decor and well suited for families and parties that are active and adventurous.

There are two wings and both have separate entrance or you can just use one entry point to access both wings.

In the Main wing, the master bedroom has a king sized bed and the other room as a double bed plus a single bed tucked up in a view loft/nook accessible only via a ladder. (The kids love this!)

In the North wing, there is a suite with a Queen bed and a double sofa bed as well.

There is also a large separate area (590 sq ft) with a (200 sq ft) loft space. There there are 2 built-in single beds that are just so unique to the space.

There is also a cozy built-in climb-up double bed nook in the media room as well.

We are not a TV watching family, though we have a large screen TV but NO cable and located only in the media room. No television in any other bedrooms.

This space is serene yet grand and it is extremely private. One cannot see the house from street level for it is tucked up high in mid-line of giant pine trees.

This house is designed for social gatherings where the open plan with wood and beam high ceilings and the split levels provide spaces for multiple functions at the same time. Not to mention the Aga stove! If you love to cook, you will love this over 700 sq ft (65 square meters) kitchen.

It has a great working wood burning fireplace and a middle-grand piano in the living room just waiting to be used. Great place to get cozy after a long day of mountain biking, golfing, kayaking, paddle boarding or skiing and curl up by the giant sofa with a book and a cup of hot ginger tea.

There is also a large 700 sq ft (65 sq meters) patio space where you can dine el fresco in the warmer days.

Kids of all ages LOVE this house. Mainly because of the unusual layout, it maybe large but it is also very cozy, therefore it is a dream to play hide and seek in.

This is definitely not a conventional house. To get to the front door, one needs either to walk up around 100 steps, intertwined in the trees, or have the gusto to drive up a steep driveway.

The spaces inside and outside throughout property will surprise you with delight.

Guest access
No guest access to our garage, study and basement of the house.

Other things to note
** IF YOU ARE NEW TO AIRBNB, please ensure that your profile is filled out so we will have a better sense of who you are when you request booking.

FOR ALL BOOKING REQUESTS, please describe the make up of your group for the reason listed below:

1. Any small or very active children that could be staying/visiting? Our property is quite unique and not "conventional" to the usually child-safe homes. The architecture is designed with its geological constraints in mind, there will be overhangs or stairs without railings. We do not have stair gates and the house is not "child proofed". We have 2 boys under 7 and never had there a time where I felt they would be in danger...but then again, they grew up here :)

2. We also have very very VERY steep driveway from the street level that needs a driver that is not afraid to get to the top OR willing to walk up 100+ steps to reach the front door. Your car should be in good running condition and have decent tires.

3. Only 3 cars maximum are allowed to park on the property. One street parking is available.

This unique house is nestled in 2 acres of rainforest but note that we do not have a flat "backyard" or a "lawn" to frolic in. We do have an overgrown trail that you are welcome to blaze through to find mushrooms, salmonberries or huckleberries depending the time of year of your visit.

Please feel free to ask me any questions regarding our property.
