Swing open the front gate and be surrounded
by flowers cascading from baskets along the boardwalk. The
river murmurs as ducks quack for attention. A boat under sail
reaches into the west wind; a fishing boat chugs north with a
load of fresh salmon. This is the peace you will experience at
River Run Cottages.
Described in "Vancouver Best Places"
as a jewel on Canada's Fraser River Estuary and rated four
kisses in "Best Place to Kiss in the Northwest,"
River Run is a romantic and tranquil getaway offering bed and
breakfast lodging accommodations 30 minutes from downtown
Vancouver in Ladner, British Columbia. The AAA Three Diamond
rating further attests to River Run Cottages' high standards.
There are four luxurious hideaways from
which to choose. On the water, you'll find the Waterlily,
an exquisitely crafted floating cottage complete with its own
woodstove and private river-level deck. Nestled on the rivers
edge are three exceptional cottages, each boasting beautifully
private water front garden decks and woodstoves. The
Netloft is a two-level cottage often selected for its
Japanese soaking tub located on its private deck outside under
stars. The Northwest room features a magnificent river
rock waterfall shower and dozens of hanging flower baskets
seen from every window. Finally, the Keepers quarters
with its cozy woodstove and outstanding driftwood bed offers a
relaxing two-person Jacuzzi tub.
The quaint town of Ladner is a ten-minute
walk along the dike, where you fill find interesting shops and
a variety of restaurants. The city of Vancouver can be seen
from the decks, and all of the popular downtown sights are
only 30 minutes away. Guests are welcome to use a two-person
kayak for trips around the Fraser River Estuary or explore by
land on bicycles that are available. The local area is a
farming community with fresh produce. Pick your own berries
and walk through the pumpkin patches that are seasonally
available. A year-round highlight is the Reifel Bird
Sanctuary, home of over 200 bird species. |
Gentle music soothes you as you enter your
cottage. You touch a match to the wood fire and settle into a
comfy chair with a glass of golden sherry or a cup of freshly
brewed English tea. Experience the sunsets in your own private
waterfront retreat. You can feel at home at the River Run.
A gourmet breakfast is delivered to the
cottage every morning with fresh squeezed juice, coffee and
tea, home-baked muffins warm from the oven and a special
entree that changes daily.
"We enjoy pampering people and
providing a relaxing environment. There is always something to
watch on the river or some activity to enjoy. River Run will
leave you relaxed and rejuvenated, please join us."
