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." |
