Best ever stay!!

The house and location were perfect. Comfortably furnished with great linens and bed. Lovely outdoor porch and so handy for the train which arrives every few minutes to go downtown and to the Stampede. Fantastic hosts and an awesome neighbourhood. Can’t believe how lucky we were finding Tim and Cathy’s place, it made our trip very special.

Great Little Cottage

This was a wonderful home for our six-week summer visit to Calgary. Thanks to Tim and Cathy for a great stay. The home is very well-equipped, and we loved the front porch. The cottage is an easy walk to everything -- restaurants, bars, Safeway, Prince's Island Park and downtown. We'll be back!

Cottage Oasis in the heart of the city!

We absolutely loved the quaint cottage feel of this vintage home in Sunnyside! Lovely, homey and clean! The house was stocked with all of the essentials and more! We loved spending time outside on the private deck - enjoying the birds, squirrels, trees and passers by!

Sweet spot!

We recently stayed in Cathy's urban cottage for a wedding we were attending in Calgary. The house was located close to the venue, and even closer to family we have in the city, but even had it not been we'd still have been pleased to stay there! (Really, it's in an ideal location no matter the reason for your visit.) It's a comfortable, sweet space with plenty of room for two couples (that also allowed for impromptu gatherings of other out of town wedding guests). The kitchen is well stocked, the lovely bathroom has luxurious touches, and the beds were very comfy. We hope to be booking the cottage again on our next trip to Calgary.

Post hip replacement stay

Our trip to Calgary, from BC, was for my hip replacement surgery. We chose to stay at the Urban Cottage Oasis because we wanted a comfortable, home-away-from-home feeling instead of being in a hotel. It is all on one level, has high beds and high bar stools in the kitchen, all of which I needed post-surgery. There were grocery stores at a convenient distance, and my husband enjoyed some good walks straight from the Cottage. This rental home did not disappoint: the beds were comfortable, the couches too, the kitchen well-appointed for our needs and it served us well. We’re grateful to the owner for her flexibility and allowing me to use crutches and a walker in her home.

Sunnyside Bliss

My husband and I stayed in the Sunnyside home for two months (January and February 2025) while our home was being renovated.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sunnyside home. The home was clean, comfortable, and cozy. The kitchen had plenty of appliances, tools, and dishes. Comfortable bed. Nicely heated floor in the bathroom.The hosts have a beautiful light display which changes depending on the season. And if you are staying in the brisk winter months you might get to see an ice sculpture that the host has created.There is a nice deck out front with a gas fire pit. A fake grass area for children or dogs to play. The front area is enclosed by a beautiful fence.Location, location, location! Only two – four blocks to a major grocery store and numerous restaurants. Close to the walking pathway along the river. Prince’s Island Park is accessible by a 13-minute walk, while downtown can be reached within 20 to 30 minutes on foot. If you prefer not to walk, the LRT station is just two blocks away and can take you downtown or to other parts of the city quickly.We stayed during the coldest months in Calgary and still loved our time in Sunnyside. Staying during the warmer months would only enhance the experience.The hosts were great to deal with.I would highly recommend this home.

Great place

The cottage was great! I was in Calgary for a convention and the location just two blocks from the train made getting around very easy. The neighborhood was extra quiet and pleasant. The cottage was comfortable- especially the bed. It was very well equipped even though I never used anything but the Keurig machine. If I ever find myself back in Calgary I definitely would rebook.

Stay at Urban cottage

I had a very nice stay. Felt very comfortable and homey. Sunny Side is a very nice area and an easy walk to a variety of restaurants and dog walking. If the weather hadn’t been so coldI think I would have done much more walking in to the city core just across the river.

Beautiful Calgary

This property was a direct reflection of the surrounding beauty of Calgary with its many parks and biking trails. The home was clean, well stocked with ever appliance and utensils for preparing your own food. The neighborhood is quiet and in a perfect location to access downtown, local shops and the trail system. The hosts were available when needed. We wish we had planned on staying longer. We hope to return to this home someday and will recommend to our friends.

Loved this cottage next to a beautiful city!

This location was perfect. The town was adorable. The cottage was just right for us and we even enjoyed the front porch heater with our coffee. The owner was in the unit right below us and was very helpful. Everything is so close and convenient. I wish I had more time to enjoy all of the restaurants and sites.
