Hidden away from the hustle and bustle of city life you will find the best place we have stayed! The staff are amazing and nothing is too much hassle for them. The entire site was clean and tidy. The cabins are big but really cute. The food in the restaurant was amazing. And even though we were the only people staying here some days they always had a good spread laid out for breakfast or they would cook it fresh to order. We absolutely loved our stay here and can recommend to anyone thinking of booking this place. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5c7bf3ff-df61-4ce3-a42f-87e4a84c9cde-1749604057779.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### martin Stayed 14 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Arnav Feb 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect eco stay Very comfortable stay !

Spa, sauna and restaurant on site were all fantastic and staff friendly! ##### Joseph Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### John Nov 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness We stayed 3 nights; the place is very beautiful, but the experience wasn't so pleasant. The firewood was wet. We asked about it, and the solution was to sell us an extra load. The next day, we mentioned the situation, and the young man assured us that the load was dry, but surprise, it was wet. We were stressed trying to keep the fire going. On the third night, starting at 1 p.m., we notified them that we hadn't received the day's load. After insisting, we finally received the firewood around 6 p.m. The cabin has a kitchen area with a small refrigerator, a water heater, a coffee maker, and two cups. There's no dish soap, no napkins, no plates, glasses, or cutlery, and certainly no microwave. We ordered room service, and understandably, given the weather, the food arrived cold, and we had no way to heat it up. My husband and I have stayed in different Airbnbs, and they are well-equipped. It seems illogical that a place like this doesn't offer those amenities. The restaurant is excellent; the service and the food are perfect. It's a place we won't be returning to. ##### John Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Costa Rica Marriott Hotel Hacienda Belen](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Costa-Rica-Marriott-Hotel-Hacienda-Belen.h54705.Hotel-Information) > > [DeltaHotels Hotels in Markham](https://www.expedia.ca/Markham-Hotels-Delta-Hotels.0-0-d10353--bDeltaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Villas Turks and Caicos](https://www.expedia.ca/Turks-And-Caicos-Villas.d184-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [C'mon Inn Fargo](https://www.expedia.ca/Fargo-Hotels-Cmon-Inn-Fargo.h1214739.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Essex House New York](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Essex-House-New-York.h534143.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Aruba Surf Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Noord-Hotels-Marriotts-Aruba-Surf-Club.h994779.Hotel-Information) > > [GALLERYone- A DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-GALLERYone-A-DoubleTree-Suites-By-Hilton-Hotel.h26622.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Fairfield-By-Marriott-San-Jose-Airport-Alajuela.h83583723.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Lala Boutique Hotel Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Villa-Lala-Hotel-Boutique-Adults-Only.h10211572.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Fireside Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingston-Hotels-Best-Western-Fireside-Inn.h22290.Hotel-Information) > > [Ahau Tulum](https://www.expedia.ca/Tulum-Hotels-Ahau-Tulum.h11901840.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Santa Ana San Jose](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Santa-Ana-San-Jose.h38713578.Hotel-Information) > > [Sherwood Forest RV Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Sherwood-Forest-RV-Resort.h9126534.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Lisbon District](https://www.expedia.ca/Lisbon-District-Hotels.d178278.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Aloft San Jose Hotel, Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Aloft-San-Jose-Hotel.h4852451.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson San Jose-Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Radisson-San-Jose-Costa-Rica.h48087.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Montreal-Montreal-Hotels.0-n6058201-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Courtyard by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-San-Jose-Airport-Alajuela.h5243956.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Barry's Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Barrys-Bay-Hotels.d181865.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Cavan-Monaghan (YPQ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/ypq/edmonton-to-peterborough) > > [Flights from Kitchener (YKF) to Winnipeg (YWG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ykf/ywg/kitchener-to-winnipeg) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Lihue (LIH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/lih/vancouver-to-lihue) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Denver (DEN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/den/calgary-to-denver) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Farwaniya (KWI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/kwi/ottawa-to-kuwait-city) > > [Flights from Charlottetown (YYG) to Rome (FCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyg/fco/charlottetown-to-rome) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Sidney (YYJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yyj/toronto-to-victoria) > > [Flights from Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/178314/flights-from-toronto) > > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to Buffalo (BUF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/buf/detroit-to-buffalo) ### Cars > [Avis Car Rentals In Kelowna Intl](https://www.expedia.ca/Avis-Car-Rentals-In-Kelowna-Intl.d6033592-c41.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers)
