Only 15 minutes from the excitement of downtown Vancouver, this elegant 4.5 star rated heritage home is a peaceful haven just steps from Burnaby&#8217;s Deer Lake.</p>
<p> <a href="http://www.vrwd.com/vacation-rentals/haddon-house-510.html" target="_blank"><img class="alignright" style="float: right; margin: 5px; border: 0px;" src="http://www.vrwd.com/vacation-rentals-blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/haddon-house.jpg" alt="Haddon House" width="400" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>This 2800 sq. ft. home is luxuriously furnished with modern amenities and surrounded by views of British Columbia&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>One block from Haddon House lies Deer Lake - one of Metro Vancouver&#8217;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&#8217;s cultural hub with live performances taking place year-round. Drive a short 5 minutes to British Columbia&#8217;s largest shopping mall, or park your car for the day and take a 15-minute Skytrain ride into the heart of Vancouver&#8217;s downtown.</p>
<p>While you vacation at Haddon House you’re free to have exclusive use of all the home has to offer. There is a separate self-contained hosts&#8217; suite in the basement, permitting the hosts to offer you additional concierge services, if desired. These would include assistance with tourist information and directions, dining and other reservations as well as drop-off at train and public transport stations.</p>

<p>Outside, a heated sapphire-blue pool is wrapped in a distinctive ceramic tile patio &#8212; all hidden behind a verdant wall of tropical foliage. The 100 foot dock is one of the most amazing ways to experience the spectacular waterways of Fort Lauderdale - the yachting capital of the world.</p>
<p>Strategically located in one of the world&#8217;s most prestigious neighborhoods, you can enjoy walks to the beautiful sandy beach and to the trendy Las Olas&#8217; shops and restaurants. This magnificent home has been featured in several television, magazine and movie productions.</p>
