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 haven just outside Vancouver city
We had a lovely stay for 6 nights here. It was a great location - easily accessible to the city and with plenty of things to do in North Vancouver. The kids loved the tree house!

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.

A must for North Vancouver stay
We loved our stay. The house is in a fabulous location, beautiful and clean. It made our family of 4 very comfortable. The private deck and the treehouse with views of Vancouver and the bridge are a cherry on top. Noo-Noo is an amazing host- our kids still talk about her cookies and how nice she is! We will be back!

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.

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.

We loved our VRBO, our host Noo-Noo was such a great lady. Power outage due to a storm and she refunded that days money, she didn’t need or have to as it wasn’t her fault. The place was cozy and perfect for our family of three. Views were amazing and her yard was gorgeous.

We could not have been happier staying at this VRBO. Noo Noo was a great host. The property was lovely, very welcoming and has a awesome view of the water and mountains. My husband and I came to town to visit our son, who is going to school in Vancouver. We all three stayed at the property. It was so comfortable and homey. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to town.

Amazing Stay
We were very happy with our stay in Upper Lonsdale. Our host made sure we had lots of information regarding our stay and went above and beyond with a list of things to do and how to get around. The suite was roomy and well kept. It had all things you would need for your stay. The property was gorgeous and had amazing views. We will definitely be returning just as soon as we can. It was a lovely home away from home!
