Excellent property, great location, wonderful hosts.

Stayed at Haddon House for my daughter’s wedding. The property provided a beautiful setting for photos before the wedding and a quiet, comfortable retreat after. We walked in Deer Lake Park every day which was an added bonus. The hosts were wonderful and helped make our daughter’s wedding very special. This truly felt like a home away from home.

Perfect for a family who are all flying into Vancouver.

We have stayed in many short rental places in the world.....London, Exeter, Algarve, Sedona, Newfoundland etc. and this lovely home was beyond perfect for our needs. The homeowners were so extremely friendly and attentive. Everything you could want while away from home was there.

EXCEPTIONAL VACATION HOME

Haddon House was amazing!! We stayed there for a family girls weekend celebrating my sister's 50th birthday....we couldn't of chosen a better place, everything was perfect! Marie-Louise & Johannes were wonderful hosts! We so appreciated to be accommodated for early check-in and received such a friendly welcome and tour from Johannes:) Their home was immaculate, beautifully appointed and had everything you could need or want for your stay. My Mom is a very tidy person and she couldn't get over how clean it was! It truly felt like a home away from home! It was wonderful to arrive and have the fridge and pantry stocked with a very generous supply of groceries. From the property to the home and amenities, everything was first class and made for a very memorable vacation experience!!

Daughter's Wedding Dream

We could not have imagined or designed a more perfect home to host our family as we prepared for our daughter's out of town wedding! The heritage home is set on beautiful grounds, tastefully decorated inside, spacious and comfortable. It was a joy to share meals together and host the bridal party. It truly felt like we were in our own home, hanging out with our family and friends and just relaxing together. The location was perfect. A 20 minute drive to all the places we needed to go - venue, rehearsal restaurant etc. I especially appreciated not having to drive back to our home, an hour against traffic, to go to bed every night. Johann and Marie-Louise are thoughtful hosts, organized and prepared. They were there when we needed them but always mindful of our privacy. I can honestly say that staying in their home was the perfect backdrop to our special occasion.

Exceptional home!

From the day we checked in, everything about Haddon House was amazing. The owners were meticulous, not only in cleanliness, but instructions as well. We received a tour of the spaces, and every single area of the home was clearly labeled with incredible attention to detail. Our fridge was even stocked with essentials to get us through our first night. It is clear that the owners take pride in their home, and in creating a comfortable experience for guests. Close to major arteries, it was also the perfect location between Vancouver and other areas. We will definitely be staying here again!

Best Place Ever

Seven adults stayed for three nights to attend our son's wedding. From our initial meeting with Johannes we were treat as his most special guests. We had a very good orientation to the home and all the amenities available. His fridge was stocked with food and drink and we were encouraged to just enjoy ourselves. He allowed us to have eleven people over for a pre meeting dinner which made it so easy to get to meet and enjoy our new inlaws. The rooms were very very nice in terms of space for all, the well equipped and fresh bedrooms. Just a fine place to relax and enjoy our time. I would stay again without hesitation and look forward to the next time we can stay longer.

A Historic Gem with Exceptional Hospitality

Our stay was absolutely fantastic! The property is an impressive historic building that has been meticulously cared for and beautifully remodeled. The neighborhood is full of grand, elegant homes, and we were just a short drive away from the SkyTrain station, making trips to and from downtown Vancouver a breeze. Our host greeted us with a lovely tour of the property and was incredibly attentive to all our questions and needs. They even provided a generous stock of breakfast foods for our first morning, which was a delightful touch. Overall, everything was perfect. I highly recommend this property!

Historic Gem near all the great Vancouver sites

We stayed for three days in January 2024, with our friends from Australia. The place was immaculate, very comfortable, had a full array of breakfast items that we couldn’t begin to use up! The beds were very comfortable, and both couples were able to have en suite bathrooms, which is rare in a VRBO. we cannot say enough about our host Johannes, he definitely was one of the highlights of staying there! Would love to return and stay there again in a different time of year, partly to see more of the Vancouver area, and partly just to visit more with Johannes and his lovely wife. We live in Southwest Washington state, so it’s not that far to drive over the border into Canada to explore more of what the Vancouver area has to offer. This VRBO is a perfect location for all of the exciting things to do in the downtown Vancouver area as well as surrounding areas. Definitely recommend this beautiful older home, especially the cozy family room area with the gas fireplace, just off the kitchen. One final note, the Lindor chocolates were to die for, and we ate the entire bowl while we were there!

This beautiful home was the perfect place for a group of old friends to gather for a week. The home is lovely inside and out and very comfortable. Owners provided all the amenities we could possibly need. Speaking of the owners, they were available whenever we needed them and so welcoming. The neighborhood is lovely as well. It was a very short walk to Deer Lake - walking trails, water lilies and high rises in the distance. We can't recommend Haddon House more highly!

Beautiful Home and Location

Haddon House is a stunning property. Beautifully maintained, comfortable, and spacious with a lovely deck, fountain, and gazebo in the back for dining and hanging outside! The piano was the main attraction for my family group (4 siblings and their wives/husbands) who are almost all musicians. We'd gather around the piano in the evening, adding the guitars and other instruments we brought, singing our favorite songs and generally having a great time. The location for touring around Vancouver was perfect, close enough for driving into Vancouver, but outside of any noisy areas in a beautiful neighborhood. There is a lovely park nearby with a lake and other attractions. With 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths on the 2nd floor, we were all comfortable (well... one bedroom has a futon and I'm not sure that was the most comfortable bed!) The house has a well-stocked kitchen, and the hosts provided a generous supply of breakfast items, so we didn't have to run out to shop as soon as we arrived. We ordered some dinners for delivery, but various couples in the group cooked several times. I highly recommend the property. Thank you, Haddon House and hosts! Donna
