The perfect amount of space for a group of four people staying for the weekend. We didn’t get to enjoy the backyard due to the weather, but it was so cute! Wished the floors/doors were a bit cleaner though unfortunately. It was dusty/spiders webs on the doors and floors in some areas.. Nothing too serious though! We enjoyed our experience in such a little homey and welcoming place. ##### Anna Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Silver Reef Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Silver-Reef-Casino-Resort.h16231932.Hotel-Information) > > [Red Lion Hotel Port Angeles Harbor](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Angeles-Hotels-Red-Lion-Hotel-Port-Angeles-Harbor.h26694.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites Leavenworth](https://www.expedia.ca/Leavenworth-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-Leavenworth.h19979907.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-Vancouver.h41770.Hotel-Information) > > [Veranda Beach Cottages](https://www.expedia.ca/Oroville-Hotels-Veranda-Beach-Cottages.h36653077.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites Burlington](https://www.expedia.ca/Mount-Vernon-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-Burlington.h1500732.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information) > > [Little Creek Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Olympia-Hotels-Little-Creek-Casino-Resort.h5490123.Hotel-Information) > > [Legends Casino Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Toppenish-Hotels-Legends-Casino-Hotel.h64169765.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Mountain View Auburn Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Tacoma-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Mountain-View-Auburn-Inn.h5539311.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Arlington/Marysville](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-ArlingtonMarysville.h7985203.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Burlington by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Mount-Vernon-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Burlington.h281593.Hotel-Information) > > [Icicle Village Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Leavenworth-Hotels-Icicle-Village-Resort.h1534248.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake Crescent Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Angeles-Hotels-Lake-Crescent-Lodge.h4190746.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Suites Burlington near I-5](https://www.expedia.ca/Mount-Vernon-Hotels-Comfort-Suites-Burlington-Near-I-5.h33091850.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun Mountain Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Winthrop-Hotels-Sun-Mountain-Lodge.h1212928.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [Majestic Inn & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Mount-Vernon-Hotels-Majestic-Inn-Spa.h1859284.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairbridge Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Leavenworth-Hotels-Fairbridge-Inn-Suites.h63001.Hotel-Information) > > [Longview Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Longview-Hotels-Longview-Inn.h9812150.Hotel-Information) > > [Suncadia Resort, a Destination by Hyatt Residence](https://www.expedia.ca/Ellensburg-Hotels-Suncadia-Resort.h1857788.Hotel-Information) > > [Enzian Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Leavenworth-Hotels-Enzian-Inn.h13279273.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Marysville by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Marysville.h1752897.Hotel-Information) > > [12 Tribes Omak Casino Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Okanogan-Hotels-12-Tribes-Resort-Casino.h10645725.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Marysville](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Marysville.h51830838.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Auburn Downtown by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Tacoma-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Auburn-Downtown.h37590454.Hotel-Information) > > [Salish Lodge & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Snoqualmie-Hotels-Salish-Lodge-Spa.h4779.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn & Suites Bellingham by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hotel-Suites-Bellingham.h13172389.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulip Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Mount-Vernon-Hotels-Tulip-Inn.h872971.Hotel-Information)
