Unfortunately as we visited in the middle of winter it was a bit chilly. Also not many facilities nearby as most closed for the winter. Had hoped to rent a kayak/ canoe and go on the lake. Oh well, wouldn’t stop me returning in the summer. ##### Adam Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Henry Morgan Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Roatan-Hotels-Henry-Morgan-Resort-All-Inclusive.h1580193.Hotel-Information) > > [Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Akumal-Hotels-Secrets-Akumal-Riviera-Maya-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h10489505.Hotel-Information) > > [Palihouse West Hollywood at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Palihouse-West-Hollywood.h13072.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Spaceship Condo](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-Hotels-Spaceship-Condo.h38427418.Hotel-Information) > > [Coast Capri Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kelowna-Hotels-Coast-Capri-Hotel.h40645.Hotel-Information) > > [Shining Waters Country Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Cavendish-Hotels-Shining-Waters-Country-Inn.h9836180.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Southgate Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Southgate-Center-Hotels.0-l6126904-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Scarborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Scarborough-Toronto-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-n6070427-0-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Winery Hotels near Naramata Bench](https://www.expedia.ca/Naramata-Bench-Hotels-Winery-Hotel.0-0-d6344818-tWineryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Athens (ATH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/ath/vancouver-to-athens) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Kelowna (YLW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ylw/toronto-to-kelowna) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Cork (ORK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/ork/vancouver-to-cork) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Dallas (DFW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/dfw/calgary-to-dallas) > > [Flights from Tocumen (PTY) to Mexico City (MEX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/pty/mex/panama-city-to-mexico-city) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Singapore (SIN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/sin/montreal-to-singapore) > > [Flights from Dieppe (YQM) to St. John's (YYT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqm/yyt/moncton-to-st-johns) > > [Porter Airlines Toronto (YTZ) to Chicago (MDW) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/porter-airlines-from-billy-bishop-toronto-city-to-midway-intl/pd/ytz/mdw) > > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to Nashville (BNA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/bna/detroit-to-nashville) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Anchorage (ANC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/anc/vancouver-to-anchorage) > > [Flights from Deer Lake (YDF) to Hamilton (YHM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ydf/yhm/deer-lake-to-hamilton) > > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/lax/kelowna-to-los-angeles) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Calgary-Intl.d4413785.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Car rentals in Shelburne](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Shelburne.d6347568.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Las Olas Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Olas-Beach-East-Fort-Lauderdale.d6320971.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Las Vegas Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas.d178276.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### Vacation Rentals > [East Coast Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/East-Coast-Vacation-Rentals.d6208779.Travel-Guide-VacationRentals) ### General > [Visit Downtown Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Downtown-Toronto.dx6057934)
