 Haddon House

This 2800 sq. ft. home is luxuriously furnished with modern amenities and surrounded by views of British Columbia's Coastal Mountains. The Dutch Colonial style of this professionally decorated 3-bedroom and 3.5 bathroom heritage home was lovingly maintained throughout a complete renovation in 2007. Updated to offer you modern amenities such as wireless internet, in-floor bathroom heating, pillow-top mattresses, and flat-panel televisions in each bedroom, Haddon House provides the perfect setting for your corporate retreat or family vacation. All three bedrooms are elegantly furnished with a king or queen size bed and plush armchairs. There are three bathrooms, two of which are ensuite, as well as a powder room off the main floor.

In the library you will find a host of tourist information; a desk with phone, laptop, printer and wireless internet access; as well as a kitchenette area. On the main floor, the dining and living rooms seat 8 guests comfortably, with a baby grand piano, handsome fireplace and beautiful garden views. Cooks will delight in the gourmet kitchen spaciously designed with a professional range, stainless steel appliances and a cozy breakfast nook. Enjoy the vast rear deck outfitted with a natural gas barbeque and plenty of seating area. With ample room for parking and open spaces for your pet to explore, the estate-sized gardens are lush, yet useable.

One block from Haddon House lies Deer Lake - one of Metro Vancouver's best-kept secrets with its abundance of walking and biking trails, canoe and paddle-boat rentals and picnic areas. Also within easy walking distance is the area's cultural hub with live performances taking place year-round.
