Fodor's Expert Review Corkscrew Inn

This restored 1912 Craftsman-style house near the beach in Kitsilano combines the comforts of a B&B with a quirky tribute to the humble corkscrew: guests are encouraged to explore the small wine paraphernalia museum. Breakfast is a big part of the allure here: there's always freshly made baked goods with homemade jam, along with a hot main course depending on what's fresh at the market. The innkeepers smoke their own local salmon. There are great restaurants nearby and Downtown is just a seven-minute bus ride away.
