Escape to Your Mountain Sanctuary—Where Adventure Meets Serenity! 🌲✨


Whether you’re craving a breath of fresh air from the city buzz, passing through for a weekend wedding or game, or dreaming of days spent kayaking on Whonnock Lake or wandering the lush trails of Golden Ears Provincial Park—this is your invitation to unwind in style.

Your Private Retreat Awaits:

🏡 1,400 sq/ft Carriage House – More than a vacation rental, it’s a cozy haven with all the space and privacy of home.

🌄 Nature at Your Doorstep – Hit the hiking trail entrance just 5 minutes away down the road from our gate, or chase adrenaline on world-class mountain biking routes 10 minutes from your doorstep.

🍃 Relaxation, Redefined – Sip morning coffee on your own private patio, have your own family BBQ in a fully fenced, secure yard, or stargaze by your outdoor firepit—no hotel room can compete!
Why You’ll Love It:

✨ Adventure or Zen? Both. Spend your days exploring misty forests and crystal-clear lakes, then return to a space designed for total relaxation.

🛌 Hotel? No Thanks. Spread out in a full kitchen, lounge by the fireplace in the living room or on the deck- or soak in a tub—your getaway, your rules.

📍 Perfectly Located – Close enough to local hotspots (yes, even that wedding venue up the street!), yet tucked away in a peaceful oasis where the only sounds are birdsongs, frogs and rustling leaves.
Ready to Trade “Everyday” for “Extraordinary”?
Pack your sense of adventure—and your favorite book for the patio. This isn’t just a stay; it’s your story waiting to unfold. Book now and let nature welcome you home. 🏔️🌿

P.S. Trust us—you’ll want to stay forever. 😉
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a fenced private yard.

We were in the area to help celebrate a 65th birthday. John's property was ideal for a family get together and barbecue. He even let us pick some of their blackberries for our morning breakfasts!Communication with John, cleanliness of the property and access to Whonnock Lake on the hottest day of the year were all ideal. Don't hesitate to book!

We had a wonderful stay! John was super communicative and very helpful with any questions we had. The yard is great for entertaining the little ones, and the location is nice and quiet. It was great for us as a family to have separate rooms for everyone to get a good night's sleep. Will definitely stay again!

It was nice to stay on an acreage near Maple Ridge for a change of scenery vs being in the city. The Wii was a hit with my daughter and she spent a lot of time playing Mario Kart.

Quiet getaway

We had a very nice Easter Long Weekend here. We used this place as a base while we visited family in Mission and the surrounding area. The yard and location were great for our boys who thoroughly enjoyed the basketball and tennis court. The unit itself was clean and very well laid out. John made sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely recommend this place and will absolutely return if in the area again.Great stay!

Beautiful stay

My bridesmaids and myself stayed here for 2 days for my wedding in September. The hosts were so accommodating and very communicative. John was very sweet and brought us another mirror for us to all get ready the day of. The property is beautiful and quiet and the beds were super comfy too! I will be suggesting to others to stay here if they’re in the area!!

Beautiful Home

Really enjoyed our time at this location. Loved the hosts four legged family members and enjoyed being able to use the tennis courts when we were based at home. Nice to be greeted by a lovely bottle of red and some sweet treats and some cold water chilling in the fridge. Close to all amenities but loved being in an rural environment. Another mirror (perhaps in a bedroom) would have been good to allow us all to get ready given that there’s only 1 bathroom. Window covering on the glass door in the 2nd bedroom would offer more privacy. Overall a great experience, my only other comment would be that I would have liked to open the windows etc overnight but would have needed screens

Carriage House

We stayed at this property for 5 nights over August Long weekend and we were very comfortable! The house is much bigger than I was expecting it to be! The beds in the two bedrooms really are very comfortable! Even the bonus room upstairs is quite large. The kitchen is fully equipped but come prepared to hand wash your dishes. Not a big deal at all for us. The location was great! Easy access to everything we needed. The owners and their dogs are all very friendly! We brought our dog and the owners were great about coordinating use of the yard with us for the dogs.We had a lot of privacy and the owners were very accommodating! Would stay there again in the future! It was perfect for what we needed as we were attending a 4 day family reunion down the road.

This was the second time we booked the cottage, we like it that much. If you want a quiet location that's near lots of parks and lakes this will be ideal for you. The cottage is kept immaculately and the host is attentive to your specific needs. We have booked again for next summer. I hope Bailey the husky will be there to greet us next year!
