This fabulous waterfront apartment on Indian Arm in North Vancouver is just 30 minutes from beautiful downtown Vancouver, one of the most beautiful city in the world! Located on Indian Arm, a 10,000 year old fiord in a West Coast rain forest, the waterfront community of Woodlands is one of Vancouver's best kept secrets, not many people know we are here and we like it that way! Woodlands is one of Vancouver's oldest summer communities which consists of waterfront homes accessed by a 5 km country road which winds its way through the forests of Mt. Seymour, a provincial park, well known for its snowshoeing, skiing, golfing, hiking, and mountain biking, so don't forget your bike! Woodlands is much less crowded than Deep Cove and gives you that remote feeling without being remote. There is an 80 foot cement deck with gazebo and bar-b-q for your own use. There is a 50 foot dock which holds the kayaks and rowboat as well as 2 gravity chairs, perfect for sunbathing and wildlife watching. The dock is shared with the owners to access their boat. Watch seals, seabirds, yachts, and fish boats make their way up Indian Arm to the beautiful Wigwam Inn, a private yacht club with a scandalous past! Across from the Wigwam is the majestic Granite Falls Marine Park. Bring your scuba gear as there is excellent diving right out the front door! 2 kayaks and a Walker Bay rowboat are available free of charge. Spend an afternoon exploring the many marine parks home to black bears, bald eagles, and two salmon runs a year. Power boat rentals are available at Seycove Marina in Deep Cove. We are very close to 3 local ski mountains, Seymour, which is a 25 minute drive from our door to the top of the mountian, is a great family mountain with high speed lift, lots of terrain, snowshoe trails, it is avery economical compared to Whistler which is 200.00 for one lift ticket! Not to mention the cost of accomodations! Seymour, Grouse, and Cypress mountains are all great value for families. A family can easily ski all 3 mountains during their stay. Cypress also has lovely cross country trails. The picturesque village of Deep Cove is just around the corner. It is home to some beautiful shops, including The lovely gallery at the Deep Cove Cultural Center, 4 restaurants, 3 great coffee houses as well as the world famous forest hike to Quarry Rock Lookout and Baden Powell Trail, which stretches for 50 km, all the way to Horseshoe Bay. The Seymour Art Gallery, Shaw Theatre, Northlands Golf Course, Seycove Marina Boat Rentals, Arm Reach Bistro, Honey's Donuts, Sorry Coffee, Ahoy, Oursi Coffee, Parkgate Community Centre and Library are all close by.
