Get ready for an unforgettable getaway at The Cobalt, the newest gem from JL Properties, just west of Edmonton! This vibrant Airbnb is nestled in the peaceful, up-and-coming neighbourhood of The Uplands, where you’re just a short walk from the popular Uplands Playground. Whether you’re craving local dining, a shopping spree at West Edmonton Mall, or quick access to the city centre, The Cobalt puts you close to all the action while still feeling like your own private retreat. It’s the perfect place for a vacation or staycation, offering that rare blend of excitement and relaxation.
Inside, you’ll discover thoughtfully curated decor, cozy furnishings, and splashes of colourful artwork that instantly make you feel welcome. The natural touches, like stunning live-edge tables, bring the outdoors in and create a warm atmosphere that feels more like a cherished family home than a short-term rental. Indulge in a little luxury with the spa-inspired ensuite, featuring a massive soaker tub and walk-in shower, or whip up a feast in the stunning chef’s kitchen. Every detail is designed to make your stay feel special, so you can focus on making the most of your Edmonton adventure!
What sets this Airbnb apart from any other is its usage of art to create a uniquely inviting ambience. The main feature is a breathtaking, larger-than-life mural featuring a majestic bear beneath a nighttime mountain sky, painted by Edmonton artist and viral sensation Ashley Rosenow of Illustrious Interiors. Ashley’s work brings a special energy to the space, and you can also find her art at places like Fort Saskatchewan, the High Level Diner in Edmonton, and at Obsidian Ridge. For The Cobalt, she drew inspiration from the property’s bold colours and indigenous influences, resulting in a mural that’s both meaningful and beautiful. Ashley has also painted a Northern Lights mural at another JL Properties Airbnb! The Cobalt mural feels especially personal and memorable – so much so, you’ll leave dreaming of a mural in your own home.
Behind JL Properties is a wonderful husband and wife duo who turned their passion for hospitality into a thriving business after their daughter was born. When I connected with Lynda Castro, her dedication to creating meaningful vacation experiences shone through. JL Properties has worked tirelessly to build community connections, now boasting 10 beautifully curated short-term rentals – and they’re growing fast! From intimate two-bedroom escapes to spacious homes that sleep up to 16, there’s a perfect getaway for every traveller.
Lynda’s vision is all about bringing people together and making every stay special for guests. “It’s more than just a place to rest, but a place for family meals, late-night conversations, and special celebrations. We have been so blessed to host incredible guests from all walks of life, visiting Edmonton for such a vast number of reasons.”
Right now, JL Properties and Illustrious Interiors are running a Giveaway on Instagram until March 31, 2026! Join in by helping to pick a name for the bear, and you could win a night’s stay at the Cobalt. This is such a fun way to support incredible local women in business and celebrate creativity and community. The work put into this incredible property showcases immense passion, and that passion is encapsulated in the property’s warm energy. I highly recommend staying at the Cobalt or any other JL Properties Airbnb when vacationing or staycationing in the Edmonton area. Each property is a joyful retreat, perfect for making lasting memories with loved ones.
