About this property
VIP YXE - Varsity View | Private Bed & Bath
Part of the VIP YXE Collection by Suite Stays, this lock-off suite offers a simple, private stay in one of Saskatoon’s most walkable university neighbourhoods — intentionally curated for calm, comfort, and thoughtful hosting.
A Simple, Private Stay — Hotel-Style, with a Sauna
This self-contained bedroom + private bathroom (no kitchen) is ideal for one or two guests who want a quiet place to sleep well and recharge between work, campus time, appointments, or exploring the city.
The suite is a private lock-off bed & bath within our home. It includes a shared entry and an adjoining door that remains closed and double-deadbolted when booked separately. While designed for privacy, some everyday household sound may occasionally carry, so the space is best suited for relaxed, quieter stays.
What You’ll Have
• Comfortable queen bed in a thoughtfully designed, compact bedroom
• Private bathroom with spa-style finishes and heated towel bar
• Large Smart TV (stream using your own accounts)
• Mini-fridge + coffee station — perfect for leftovers and easy mornings
• Dry hot-rock sauna
• Shared patio seating available seasonally
Please note: laundry facilities are not available for guest use in this listing.
Layout & Privacy (Please Read)
This is a hotel-style bed & bath — there is no kitchen or kitchenette. To keep the space clean, simple, and well maintained, cooking appliances, dishware, and food-prep facilities are intentionally not provided. The suite is best suited for guests who plan to dine out, order in, or enjoy the many nearby cafés and restaurants.
The suite is a lower-level lock-off within our home, accessed via a shared entry to the basement level. You may notice an adjoining door near the hallway area (shown open in some photos). When this space is booked on its own, that door remains closed and double-deadbolted.
While the spaces are designed for privacy, some everyday household sound (footsteps, doors, coming and going) may occasionally be heard — particularly in the shared entry or stairwell. Because of this, the suite is best suited for guests seeking peaceful stays with quieter evenings.
Dry Sauna
A private dry sauna is available during cooler months, adding a touch of quiet luxury to your stay. Many guests highlight the sauna as a favourite feature after long workdays, hospital visits, winter walks, or cold days.
Note: this is a dry hot-rock sauna — no water on the rocks.
Outdoor Space
Enjoy shared patio seating during warmer months. Mature trees and a peaceful residential setting create a surprisingly serene atmosphere so close to campus and Broadway.
Location Highlights
• Walk to the University of Saskatchewan, RUH, neighbourhood parks, and river trails
• Easy stroll to Broadway Avenue cafés, bakeries, shops, theatres, and dining
• Quiet, tree-lined street in one of Saskatoon’s most established neighbourhoods
• Easy access to downtown, 8th Street amenities, and transit
A Few Important Notes (So Expectations Are Clear)
• This is a lower-level suite in a remodeled home with soundproofing. While most guests find noise minimal, some normal household sound from above may occasionally be heard. Guests who are highly noise-sensitive may prefer a fully detached accommodation.
• This suite is not pet-friendly.

We had a lovely time at Mark and Vanesa's place. The Sauna was very nice and everything was very clean. It was easy to contact the hosts and check in was simple.

About the host
Hosted by SuiteStays
We’re Mark & Vanesa — a husband-and-wife team who love creating calm, comfortable places where people can genuinely settle in. What started as hosting one carefully restored Saskatoon home grew into Suite Stays: a small, intentionally curated collection of places we’re proud to share.
Our Saskatoon homes are part of the VIP YXE Collection — walkable, residential spaces rooted in heritage neighbourhoods and community living, designed for university visits, medical stays, professional travel, and longer visits where feeling at home matters.
Our Summit View Collection in Kimberley, BC offers alpine townhomes near the ski hill, created for guests who value nature access, wellness, and quiet seasonal living.
We host the way we like to travel: with clarity, care, and respect for the communities we’re part of. Our homes are best suited for guests who appreciate thoughtful design, calm evenings, and spaces that feel well looked after — not party houses or high-turnover stays.
Stay Suite. Stay Relaxed.
Mark & Vanesa
Why they chose this property
We designed this suite around one guiding question: what do we want when we travel for work, health, and would like a hotel type of accommodation in the comfort of a home with a sauna and bigger TV than most hotels?
The result is a calm, functional, and quietly elevated space — somewhere perfect to sleep.
Guests especially value the 55" TV, sauna, heated towel bars in the bathrooms, and seasonal patio. The Varsity View location offers a rare balance of walkability, safety, and quiet.
What makes this property unique
- Scandinavian-inspired design with spa-like details
- Bathrooms with towel warmers
- Hot rock sauna
- South facing patio
- Walkable to U of S, RUH, Broadway, parks, and river trails
- Quiet residential setting; best for calm, relaxed stays
