About this property

Seaside Garden Cottage on Scenic Indian Arm, North Vancouver

Newly installed Air Conditioning! This seaside cottage is the guest house on our property in the Woodlands area of North Vancouver. Indian Arm is the southernmost glacial fjord on the west coast of North America, extending 10 miles northeast inland from Burrard Inlet and Vancouver harbour. Located on the eastern slope of Mount Seymour, the Woodlands area is a paradise for hiking, kayaking and mountain biking, where you are minutes away from the North Shore's Baden Powell Trail, Quarry Rock and legendary mountain biking terrain.

The Cottage itself is a 2 story, 650 square foot building. It is newly renovated with stainless steel appliances, quartz counter-tops, wood stove, a private deck, garden and patio with a propane barbecue. Upstairs there is a queen bed, sofa, and TV with surround sound.
The Woodlands area is a secluded group of waterfront properties on the shore of Indian Arm, just north of Deep Cove. Part of the Woodlands adventure is the road. Indian River Drive was built in 1909 to connect Woodlands to the rest of North Vancouver. It was not paved until the 1990s, and today is a beautiful 5KM winding trip through mature second growth rain forest.
Summertime at Woodlands is glorious and beautiful. The property faces east, so you will enjoy the sunrise. Then there's winter. It rains here in the winter. A lot. Nearby Deep Cove is sometimes called 'Deepest Darkest Cove' during the November - March months. It doesn't snow here often, but when it does we have to park at the top of the Fire Lane and hike to and from the house. Keeps us fit, though. We have a propane supply, a firewood supply and a backup generator. We are ready for the zombie apocalypse. Or winter at Woodlands. Whichever comes first. You can stay here in the winter if you really want to, but don't say we didn't warn you!

Beautiful cottage with kind hosts
This was my second year staying and won’t be my last! If you like sitting on the dock with beautiful views, watching the kayakers go by (or joining them yourself) this is the spot for you :)

Perfect
We loved this little cottage - it is perfect in every way. It is cozy and clean with a well stocked kitchen. The property is beautiful, and we enjoyed having access to the outdoor sitting areas. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again if we find ourselves returning to the Vancouver area.

About the host

Hosted by Jodi Whiteside

Host profile image
We love the outdoors, we are avid skiers, and we love to hike and kayak year around. We both began skiing as children – Ken on the North Shore mountains and Jodi in the Rockies west of Calgary. We have two sons in their 30s, who are avid cyclists and are both ski instructors as their second jobs in the winter. We have three dogs - Beau, Roan and Hugo who are all Standard Poodles.

Why they chose this property

This property has been a labour of love for over 20 years. We bought this property 2002. It had a summer shack made of recycled materials (and carpenter ants) and a partially build garage that eventually became the seaside cottage. We first upgraded the cottage as a separate space for our (then) teenage sons. The main house was rebuilt in 2008. Since then we have completed various landscape improvements to provide gardens, decks, patio, gazebo and safe access to the dock. The cottage was upgraded a few years ago with a new kitchen, cabinets and furniture.

What makes this property unique

One of a kind private cottage with stunning views of Indian Arm
