Very cosy and comfortable accommodation - had everything we needed, and the hosts very kindly put 2 extra beds upstairs for our 2 small children. Hot tub was a huge hit with us all! Fantastic, attentive hosts, including the adorable Cruz; we loved him visiting us throughout the day. Great place for bringing our small children and miniature schnauzer! All agreed that we would love to visit again. ##### Louise Leigh ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Carberry Tower Mansion House and Estate](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Carberry-Tower-Mansion-House-And-Estate.h1411895.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabin Rentals Revelstoke](https://www.expedia.ca/Revelstoke-Cabins.d10607-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Sligachan Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Isle-Of-Skye-Hotels-Sligachan-Hotel.h14705327.Hotel-Information) > > [Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Dalmahoy-Hotel-Country-Club.h21999.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points By Sheraton Regina](https://www.expedia.ca/Regina-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Regina.h9637739.Hotel-Information) > > [Occidental at Xcaret Destination - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Occidental-At-Xcaret-Destination-All-Inclusive.h882765.Hotel-Information) > > [Cottages Margaree Valley](https://www.expedia.ca/Margaree-Valley-Cottages.d181856-aaCottages.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Academy Plaza Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dublin-Hotels-Academy-Plaza-Hotel.h108213.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Inn & Suites by Wyndham Anaheim on Disneyland Dr](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Travelodge-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Anaheim-On-Disneyland-Dr.h17189.Hotel-Information) > > [Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Jose Aeropuerto, Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Country-Inn-Suites-By-Radisson.h1039787.Hotel-Information) > > [The Whispering Pine Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Spean-Bridge-Hotels-The-Whispering-Pine-Lodge.h11119972.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Toronto/Markham](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-TorontoMarkham.h896471.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Marmora](https://www.expedia.ca/Marmora-Hotels.d6288924.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [TownePlace Suites by Marriott Oshawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Oshawa-Hotels-TownePlace-Suites-By-Marriott-Oshawa.h40201427.Hotel-Information) > > [Excellence Riviera Cancun - Adults Only All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Excellence-Riviera-Cancun-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h1120449.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club in Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Miramar-Beach-Hotels-Embarc-Sandestin.h1054729.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Tofino](https://www.expedia.ca/Tofino-Hotels.d6094955.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from North Syracuse (SYR) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/syr/mco/syracuse-to-orlando) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Sudbury (YSB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/ysb/vancouver-to-sudbury) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Cancun (CUN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/cun/calgary-to-cancun) > > [Air Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-Canada-Flights.cAC.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Idaho Falls (IDA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ida/toronto-to-idaho-falls) > > [Flights from Calgary Intl. to PAR-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/par/calgary-to-paris) > > [Flights from Timehri (GEO) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/geo/yyz/georgetown-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Manila (MNL) to Lapu-Lapu (CEB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mnl/ceb/manila-to-cebu) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Mobile (MOB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mob/toronto-to-mobile) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Harry-Reid-Intl.d5456204.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Dominican Republic](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/50/Dominican-Republic)
