We spent three nights at the Lighthouse Park B&B, July 20-23, 2009.
Our stay was everything that previous reviewers have written about.
Hanna was a wealth of information on every aspect of the Vancouver area.
She suggested that we take a drive up to Whistler that turned out be one of the highlights of our trip. The tram up to the Peak to Peak was breathtaking and relaxing. On the way back to Vancouver we stopped (Hanna’s suggestion) at Shannon Falls. The falls are only about a ¼ mile from the main highway, and provided a nice rest and photo opportunity.
We enjoyed great meals and beautiful scenery at the three restaurants we dined at. They were, The Boat House at Horseshoe Bay, The Beach House on 25th street (only 10 minutes from Lighthouse Park B&B), and Carmelo’s between 14th and 15th avenue on Marine Drive (again about 10 minutes from our stay).
I would highly recommend staying at the Lighthouse B&B for anyone visiting Vancouver for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Public transportation would be the best bet to get into Vancouver for the many venues only 20-30 minutes away, and there are several Park & Ride areas close by.
Traffic and parking will be a problem for most attempting to get into Vancouver during the Olympics
Overall, out stay at the Lighthouse Park B&B provided a beautiful, restful, visit to Vancouver.
We will be back.
