THE SECRET GARDEN TREEHOUSE, Upper Lonsdale, North Vancouver

The Secret Garden Treehouse is a family-friendly vacation hideaway. This two-bedroom ground-level suite is located in a safe, quiet neighbourhood at the top of Lonsdale, and offers a panoramic view of the glittering Vancouver cityscape and the Lion’s Gate Bridge.

Watch sunrise or sunset from the private deck. Unwind in the treehouse. Be enveloped by the silence and solitude of nature that surrounds this treed property. Take advantage of free parking and a transit network that provides convenient access to local shopping and restaurants.

Lonsdale Quay is just a 10-minute bus ride away. This popular North Vancouver hub features an extensive farmer's market, and a variety of shops and restaurants. Board the SeaBus here and arrive at Waterfront Station in downtown Vancouver in 12 minutes, with access to Stanley Park, cruise ships, and SkyTrain—YVR Airport is a mere 25-minute SkyTrain ride from Waterfront Station.

For skiers, mountain bikers, and hiking enthusiasts, there is an abundant choice of popular locations—Grouse Mountain, Cypress Mountain, Seymour Mountain, and Mount Fromme (a key North American mountain biking destination) are only a short drive away; Grouse Mountain is accessible on transit as well.

Explore nearby attractions such as Capilano Canyon and Lynn Canyon. Or venture a little farther—drive to Whistler in 1.5 hours; Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal in 15 minutes.

Guests describe this vacation rental as a home away from home, and rave about the comfortable décor, the cleanliness, and their hostess. She is first-class, gracious, and welcoming, always respecting her guests’ privacy. “Our seven-year-old daughter still talks about her,” says one satisfied guest.

The Secret Garden Treehouse is a relaxing, quiet place to unwind in nature, while having easy access to the excitement of the city.

A unique and comfortable haven in a beautiful setting
We were in Vancouver for a family wedding, and Noo Noo was extremely welcoming and accommodating as we added an extra day, had family visiting, etc. The inside is unique and comfortable, while the outside defies description! Such beauty!

Stunning sunsets
We had such an amazing stay at Noo Noo's secret garden treehouse. Noo Noo was kind, courteous, and helpful throughout our stay. From out late night check in to early morning departure, she made us feel right at home. The property was perfect for our family of four, with ample space inside and a deck and tree house outside. We would definitely stay here again.

North Vancouver
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Noo Noo was very available and helpful with any questions we had. The space was clean and well stocked and there was plenty of room. The area was quiet — we barely even heard traffic. Just the peaceful sound of the waterfall in the garden. The view of the inlet and ships was very nice. The property had a beautiful garden and trees. And the lights of the city were visible at night. Would recommend for sure.

Perfect stay!
Loved our stay at this walk out basement apartment in North Vancouver. The setting is breathtaking. We loved the tree house and the view of the water from the deck. The apartment was cosy and had everything we needed for the 4 of us. Noo Noo was a very friendly host and left us some home baking. A lovely touch. Will visit again.

About the host

Hosted by Noo-Noo

Host profile image
The Secret Garden has moved to North Vancouver! After 34 years in Dunbar-Southlands, I decided to leave my character house (and gorgeous garden!) and move to North Vancouver to be closer to my son and two grandaughters.

I am now offering the same great hospitality, amenities and service as I did to the over 1200 guests I have welcomed to The Secret Garden during the past six years.

i look forward to meeting many new people and making new friends from all over the world.


Why they chose this property

Gorgeous views; the treehouse was also what caught my eye when I saw the listing. As a single senior, I find it so convenient for shopping and restaurants, etc. and if I want to go "over town" to Vancouver it's a simple matter on the seabus and actually closer than it was when I lived in Dunbar.

The quiet is unbelievable - just the sound of the birds. No noisy neighbours, barking dogs, or traffic noise.

I think I will be very happy here and I hope if you visit that you will enjoy it as much as I do.

What makes this property unique

The views of course; the treehouse; the convenience of being so close to the local attractions and mountains yet living secluded on top of the world.
