About this property

VIP YXE · University | Main + Lower Suites

Part of the VIP YXE Collection by Suite Stays, this full-home listing includes both the main-floor suite and the basement suite of a restored 1940s character home in Saskatoon’s sought-after Varsity View neighbourhood.

Together, the two suites comfortably accommodate up to six guests, offering flexibility for families, visiting professionals, or small groups who value location, walkability, and affordability over new-build perfection.

The main floor and upper level feature bright living spaces, a fully equipped kitchen, flexible bedroom configurations, a restored clawfoot tub, and access to a sunny south-facing deck. The basement suite adds additional sleeping space, a second living area, and a full bathroom — ideal for guests who don’t mind a more compact, character-home environment.

Located within walking distance of the University of Saskatchewan, Royal University Hospital, Broadway cafés, river trails, and neighbourhood parks, this home is best suited for guests who appreciate heritage homes, clear expectations, and calm, respectful stays.

About Suite Stays
Suite Stays is a locally owned, owner-operated hospitality brand offering thoughtfully curated short-term and extended-stay homes in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and Kimberley, British Columbia.
Our homes are organized into place-based collections, including VIP YXE in Saskatoon and Summit View in Kimberley — each designed for comfort, clarity, and longer, more grounded stays.

This home is part of the VIP YXE Collection, featuring walkable, residential properties near Saskatoon’s most important institutions and neighbourhood amenities.

Parking & Seasonal Property Care
• Off-street parking is available at the back of the property for the whole home. In winter, access to a plug-in outlet for block heaters is available where applicable.
• Snow clearing: A professional crew attends after snowfalls and aims to clear walkways and parking access within 24 hours.
• Lawn care: In summer, a crew attends weekly (weather permitting) to mow and maintain the yard.

These exterior services help keep the property safe, tidy, and well cared for throughout the year.

House Rules & Fit (Important)
Whether you’re visiting for a festival weekend, family time, medical appointments, or a longer work stay, this home is designed to be easy, comfortable, and relaxed. A few simple guidelines help keep our homes calm, well cared for, and enjoyable for everyone.
• Quiet Hours / No Parties: Parties, events, or gatherings are not permitted.
• Smoke-Free Home: No smoking or vaping indoors.
• Pets: One dog only (no cats) is permitted with prior approval and must be registered on the reservation. Please declare pets in the booking count. Use the provided pet blanket on furniture and pick up and dispose of waste in outdoor bins.
• Furniture: Furniture is arranged for safety and cleaning efficiency. Please do not move furniture. Failure to return moved furniture to its original location may result in additional cleaning or service fees.
• Amenities: Use of amenities such as hammocks and outdoor features is at your own risk. Children must be supervised at all times.
• Keys (If Applicable): Guests are responsible for lost or unreturned keys and any required replacement or re-keying costs.
• Registered Guests Only: All overnight guests — including adults, children, and infants — must be registered on the reservation. Overnight visitors who are not registered are not permitted. Day visitors require prior approval.
• Rental Agreement: A standard short-term rental agreement is provided after booking and must be signed within 48 hours. For reservations made less than 48 hours before check-in, the agreement must be signed within 4 hours. Check-in instructions will not be provided until the agreement is completed.
• Security Deposit: A refundable security deposit (up to $300 for whole homes) is required. The deposit must be authorized on the guest’s credit card via our booking system (OwnerRez) prior to arrival and is released after checkout, subject to no damage beyond normal wear and tear. Our rates include standard cleaning based on typical use. If a stay requires excessive cleaning beyond a standard turnover (for example, substantially increased cleaning time or labour), additional cleaning costs may be deducted from the security deposit based on documented service provider charges.

Thank you for helping us care for our homes and preserve a comfortable experience for all guests.

About the host

Hosted by SuiteStays

Host profile image
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
