May 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Peaceful retreat The yurt is very comfortable and well-equipped. The setting is very peaceful. Port Perry is only 10 mins away, for buying food or other necessities. I only wish there were better hikes on the property. I wanted to go for an hour long hike, but the trails would lead me back to the yurt after only 20 minutes of walking. ##### Reena K.

I did like the battery string lights. More directions on how to use propane hot plate and pump water bottle were necessary. ##### Melissa Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ethan Feb 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities . ##### Ethan Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Touchstone Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Touchstone-Resort.h37486278.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Peterborough-Waterfront, ON by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Peterborough-Waterfront.h10806.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Gravenhurst Muskoka Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Gravenhurst-Muskoka-Wharf.h2621805.Hotel-Information) > > [Georgian Bay Hotel Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Collingwood-Hotels-Georgian-Bay-Hotel-Trademark-Collection-By-Wyndham.h1802744.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Mountain Resort Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Blue-Mountain-Resort-Inn.h35593974.Hotel-Information) > > [Valhalla Hotel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Thunder-Bay-Hotels-Valhalla-Inn.h25234.Hotel-Information) > > [Benmiller Inn & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh-Hotels-Benmiller-Inn-Spa.h1881763.Hotel-Information) > > [Pickering Casino Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Pickering-Hotels-Pickering-Casino-Resort.h89435702.Hotel-Information) > > [Muskoka Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Muskoka-Bay-Resort.h49036339.Hotel-Information) > > [Deerhurst Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Deerhurst-Resort.h23864.Hotel-Information) > > [Friday Harbour Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Innisfil-Hotels-Friday-Harbour-Resort.h30029681.Hotel-Information) > > [Carriage Ridge Resort, an Ascend Collection Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Oro-Medonte-Hotels-Carriage-Ridge-Hills-Resorts.h1177104.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Thunder Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Thunder-Bay-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Thunder-Bay.h30299129.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Mountain Resort Mosaic Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Blue-Mountain-Resort-Mosaic-Suites.h35593864.Hotel-Information) > > [Living Stone Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Collingwood-Hotels-Living-Stone-Golf-Resort.h1590687.Hotel-Information) > > [Fern Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Ramara-Hotels-Fern-Resort.h9812529.Hotel-Information) > > [The Water Tower Inn, BW Premier Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Sault-Ste-Marie-Hotels-The-Water-Tower-Inn.h20693.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus The Arden Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Stratford-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-The-Arden-Park-Hotel.h11525291.Hotel-Information) > > [Horseshoe Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Oro-Medonte-Hotels-Horseshoe-Resort.h41218.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton St. Catharines Niagara Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-St-Catharines-Niagara-Suites.h2609.Hotel-Information) > > [Hidden Valley Resort, an Ascend Collection Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Hidden-Valley-Resort.h23944.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Mountain Resort Village Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Blue-Mountain-Resort-Village-Suites.h10940024.Hotel-Information) > > [Superior Inn Hotel and Conference Centre Thunder Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Thunder-Bay-Hotels-Victoria-Inn-Hotel-And-Convention-Centre.h900513.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Sudbury](https://www.expedia.ca/Sudbury-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Sudbury.h19351.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Sudbury](https://www.expedia.ca/Sudbury-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Sudbury.h45671968.Hotel-Information) > > [Hockley Valley Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Mono-Hotels-Hockley-Valley-Resort.h9779402.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Leamington Hotel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Windsor-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Leamington-Hotel-Conference-Centre.h19347.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Collingwood by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Barrie-Orillia-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Collingwood.h52463807.Hotel-Information) > > [Living Water Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Collingwood-Hotels-Living-Water-Resort-And-Spa.h6986293.Hotel-Information) > > [Westin Trillium House, Blue Mountain](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Westin-Trillium-House.h1357075.Hotel-Information)
