Stayed Jun 28, 2024Awesome country house with very attentive hosts! My family of 6 enjoyed our stay outside the hustle of the city, giving us time to recharge between trips to Vancouver, Whistler and Washington. Host was responsive and left some nice arrival gifts. The pets on the property were a bonus for my kids. Great stay!

Stayed Aug 10, 2025We 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!

Stayed Aug 21, 2025We 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!

Stayed Jul 24, 2025It 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.

Stayed Apr 18, 2025We 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!

Stayed Jan 10, 2025We recently had a stay at the Mountain Retreat. The rental was clean, well appointed with every amenity you would need at home, including soft, high quality bedding, a cozy fireplace and a kitchen with all the tools for a proper meal. Will be recommending to family and friends. 5 stars all round!

Stayed Sep 12, 2024My 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!!

Stayed Aug 14, 2024Really 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

Stayed Aug 1, 2024We 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.

Stayed Jul 12, 2024John and his family are great hosts. They have a beautiful property and were very welcoming of our family. Lots to do around where they live including Golden Ears Park, Cultus Lake Waterpark, even downtown Van is only a SkyTrain away after driving in a bit. Would definitely recommend it.

Stayed Jul 3, 2024This 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!

Stayed May 18, 2024We stayed at this beautiful location with our family (2 adults, 2 big teenagers and 2 tweens) and had the best time! The property is nestled just outside of Maple Ridge in a quiet and beautiful area surrounded by forest and steps away from great hiking. The hosts know the area well and have awesome insider tips on day trips and outings in the area. The property itself is clean, beautiful and welcoming with tons to do right out your front door. Private tennis court also has basketball, pickleball and hockey or you can’t play in the open green space (the kids lived outside and had so much fun). The beds are insanely comfortable and we were very comfortable and slept better than we do at home! The dogs are just the icing on the cake. My kids are still talking about Bailey and apparently we need a big, fluffy husky now. Looking forward to booking again!
