FLOOR PLANS, F.A.Q.
Eagles Nest FAQ
Q: How long does it take from the house to get to downtown Vancouver?
A: About 20 minutes depending upon traffic. Rush hour traffic should be avoided if possible.
Q: Where can we find the Baden Powell trailhead to Quarry Rock?
A: Just up the street (only three houses) to the col-de-sac (end) is the beginning of Baden Powell trail. It’s about a 45-minute walk across the beautiful forest to spectacular Quarry Rock. See this link for more info: http://www.vancouvertrails.com/trails/quarry-rock/
Q: How much firewood can we use?
A: We provide a pile of firewood for you and if you need some extra wood we have additional wood right by the “manager’s office” just down the wooden stairs one flight. If you like to use a lot of wood, and go through the extra wood, please purchase more wood at the nearby Safeway Food store.
Q: Where is the Safeway Grocery store?
A: It’s only a five minute drive by car from the house. You pass this on the way from the airport if you drive along Mt. Seymour Parkway. It is in Parkgate Mall which has many useful shops and a liquor store. The address is: Parkgate Village Safeway, 1175 Mt. Seymour Road, North Vancouver, BC V7H 2Y4
Store Phone: 604-924-1302 Pharmacy Phone: 604-924-1325 Normal Store Hours: 7:00am – 12:00am. Link to store:
https://www.safeway.ca/find-a-store/store/4958-parkgate-village
Q: Are there other stores besides Safeway?
A: Yes. Just in the Safeway (Parkgate) shopping center there is a shop called the Farmers Market. They have excellent vegetables and fruit (much of it organic) and at good prices. They also have eggs, milk, cheese and yogurt as an example.
For major shopping, we recommend our large (mostly food) store called Superstore, right after you pass over the Second Narrows Bridge (between Vancouver and North Vancouver). This by far is the best place to do a major shop for food for your trip. They have the best prices and best selection. It is a wonderful store.
Q: How do we use the outdoor Hot Tub?
A: If you let us know you will want to use it during your stay, we are happy to prepare the Hot Tub for your arrival. We set the temperature to 104 degrees Farenheit (which is customary for most groups). There is one white push button on the tub to turn the jets on and off. Please make sure to cover the tub when you are done because it can lose temperature (especially in the colder seasons).
Q: How does the inside Jacuzzi work?
A: Fill the tub past the jets and intake with your desired temperature of water. Then twist the control dial on the wall next to the bathroom drawers. The Master
Bath Jacuzzi will turn on. The Jacuzzi has nice strong jets and can handle up to 4 people at a time.
Q: How does the Cinema Flatscreen TV work?
A: Use the Toshiba remote controller to turn on the TV. The TV takes a couple seconds for the power indicator on the lower right corner to glow green. Once the TV is powered up, use the Telus Remote controller to turn on our Optik channel service. You can then navigate the many channels it offers.
