✧ Cool Mid-Century Bungalow! ✧
Welcome to our cozy 1940s bungalow with natural light, wood beams, bamboo floors, and a fully fenced yard. We are located just 1 mile from the heart of Downtown Vancouver, where you’ll find an awesome mix of restaurants, bars, breweries, and shops. *NOTE: our home borders 3 new townhomes so privacy may be limited in the backyard. Also, there is no central A/C—however, 3 portable A/C units are provided to help cool the space, but it can get warm during heatwaves. Most guests are fine with it!

Yeti's Tree House: Where Dreams Come True
"Thank you for creating such a magical place..." Recent Guest "Best Tree House I've ever seen!" Recent Guest Let the kid in you come to play in this real treehouse held up by four trees, 18 feet off the ground. Zip line down or take a giant soaking tub. A magical stroll through the woods leads to the suspension bridge. You won't believe you're only minutes from town. Wear appropriate shoes as it is a short 2-minute hike to the tree house. At times, it can get a little slick.
