About this property
Kids-Friendly 3BR | Walk to Downtown | Character Home | Quiet & Peaceful
Welcome to Happy House, a character-filled century home on a quiet street near downtown, Kensington, parks, playgrounds & Bow River pathways.
Made for families, with 2 queen bedrooms, a flexible playroom / workspace, a third bedroom in the basement, 2 full baths, a private yard, stocked kitchen, laundry, + baby gear on request.
Relax by the gas fireplace or by the garden. This is a lovingly updated historic home, not a newly built luxury property. Its original character is part of the charm.
The house is within a 20-min walking distance to Stampede and Saddledome, and a 15-min drive to the Airport. It is also 5-minute drive to the Calgary Zoo and the Telus Spark Science Centre.
✅ Why guests choose Happy House:
- Walkable central location on a very quiet & safe street. - 2 queen bedrooms on main level, plus a 3rd bedroom with sofa bed in the basement. - Flexible play area & dedicated workspace in the basement. - 2 bathrooms, including a character bathroom with clawfoot tub. - Private fenced yard, front patio, gas BBQ, and 2 outdoor dining areas. - Full kitchen, laundry, fast Wi-Fi, large screen TV with Netflix & Disney+ - Crib, Pack ’n Play, high chair, changing table, gates, toys, books, and children’s dishes available. _________________________________
Good to know 💙
Happy House was built in 1913 and retains its original character, including squeaky hardwood floors, plaster walls, and smaller size rooms. The third sleeping room, second bathroom, workspace, laundry, and children’s area are downstairs. The lower level is comfortable and functional but less extensively renovated than the main floor. The third bed is a sofa bed rather than a standard mattress (still very comfortable!). All bedding is premium cotton.
On-street parking is free upon guest registration. Our neighborhood is very quiet, and pedestrian-friendly. There are also lots of walking paths in all directions.
We are toddlers and kids-friendly! We can provide upon request a full size crib with baby linens, a pack & play, and a changing table. Also we have available a high chair and kids-friendly plastic cups, plates and utensils. The living room shelves are stocked with kids books, board games and drawing pads.
We love to garden, so if you stay in the house during the summer, the front of the house is usually full of lovely flowers and greenery.
This is a genuine century-home experience: original woodwork, fireplace, leaded glass, clawfoot tub, and warm character.
Two outdoor areas, a fully fenced private backyard, patio, gas BBQ, and outdoor dining. Fully stocked kitchen, premium bedding, laundry, workspace with external monitor, portable air conditioning, and luggage drop-off.
