Sep 25, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Property needs updating and a good clean Property is in an awesome location but the property needs improvement. Kitchen was dirty and needs to be restocked. Untensils we broken, no sharp knives etc. tv is tiny.. furniture was uncomfortable… property smelled and walls were dirty felt very dated with bare amount of cleaning. Heating is inadequate with very little or no spare blankets. No outdoor deck furniture to enjoy the deck and bbq would be a great addition for big groups But games room was good. I wouldn’t recommend this property at this price… ##### Jackie G. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Thelma B.

Dec 29, 2015 #### Nice property and pleasant location, area has plenty to offer Nice property and pleasant location, area has plenty to offer. Unfortunately the equipment in the kitchen was well below basic minimum. No sharp knives, vegetable peeler, mixing bowls, frying pans that do not stick and a means to whip cream. Advised about no BBQ so did expect better utensils to be available for cooking on stove top and oven. A very basic camping kitchen, not what you expect for the fee per night paid. ##### Joy Z. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Universal’s Loews Portofino Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Loews-Portofino-Bay-Hotel.h201033.Hotel-Information) > > [Alt Hotel Calgary East Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Alt-Hotel-Calgary-East-Village.h31069558.Hotel-Information) > > [Vacation Homes Winnipeg](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-Private-Vacation-Homes.d6141041-aaPrivateVacationHomes.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels with an Indoor Pool in Orillia](https://www.expedia.ca/Orillia-Hotels-Hotels-With-Indoor-Pool.0-0-d9268-tHotelswithIndoorPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Calabasas](https://www.expedia.ca/Calabasas-Hotels.d10242.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels with smoking rooms in Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Mexico-Hotels-With-Smoking-Rooms.0-0-d117-tHotelswithsmokingrooms.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Saskatchewan](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Saskatchewan-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d11191-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Basel](https://www.expedia.ca/Basel-Hotels.d6050770.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels.d6023515.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Loreto (LTO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/lto/edmonton-to-loreto) > > [Flights from Mumbai (BOM) to Detroit (DTW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bom/dtw/mumbai-to-detroit) > > [Flights from Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/178245/flights-from-calgary) > > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/yyz/kelowna-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Granadilla de Abona (TFS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lgw/tfs/london-to-tenerife) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to San Diego (SAN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/san/calgary-to-san-diego) > > [Flights from Amsterdam (AMS) to Cinisi (PMO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ams/pmo/amsterdam-to-palermo) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Washington (DCA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/dca/toronto-to-washington) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Oslo (OSL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/osl/vancouver-to-oslo) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Saint John (YSJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/ysj/vancouver-to-saint-john) > > [Flights from Barcelona (BCN) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bcn/lhr/barcelona-to-london) > > [Flights from Athens (ATH) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ath/yyz/athens-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Stanfield Intl. to YTO-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/yto/halifax-to-toronto) > > [flights from plattsburgh intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/pbg/flights-from-plattsburgh-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Beijing (PEK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/pek/winnipeg-to-beijing) ### Cars > [Thrifty Car Rental Car Rentals In Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Thrifty-Car-Rental-Car-Rentals-In-Toronto.d178314-c45.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Packages > [Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden](https://www.expedia.ca/Dallas-Arboretum-And-Botanical-Garden-Dallas.d500846.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Bali Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Bali.d602651.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations) > > [Great Southern Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Great-Southern.d6052248.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Tristan da Cunha](https://www.expedia.ca/Tristan-Da-Cunha.dx6035222)
