We were exhausted from our road trip from SF to Squamish but arriving at Catherine's place was like relaxing into a quiet oasis. The neighborhood is safe, close walking distance to a short trail along the river (with a great restaurant grill!), and easy driving distance to the gondola, lakes, etc. The place was less private than we're used to (upstairs neighbors live there regularly and were sometimes watering plants, etc. outside) - but they were so kind and friendly (and apparently helped stock the excellent kitchen utensils to allow cooking and baking during our stay!) that it was less of an issue for us, but may be important for those looking for a more private rental. Catherine the host was so gracious - we were enjoying our stay so much, we requested extending our time by an extra night, and she readily obliged. All in all we look forward to visiting Squamish again soon and would gladly stay at this beautiful spot again!
