Dec 30, 2021 #### Awesome place to retreat Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabins are quiet with beautiful views. Live close to animals. If there is the power supply for recharging electronic devices, it would be perfect, but it is still an excellent place for holidays. ##### Lyn P. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Riu Vallarta - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Riu-Vallarta-All-Inclusive.h1542278.Hotel-Information) > > [Casino Hotels in Quebec](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Quebec-Casino-Hotel.0-0-d11183-tCasinoHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Super 8 by Wyndham Regina](https://www.expedia.ca/Regina-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-Regina.h565078.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Centre Brandon](https://www.expedia.ca/Brandon-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Centre-Brandon.h46074617.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Playacar - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Riu-Playacar-All-Inclusive.h580668.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Ucluelet](https://www.expedia.ca/Ucluelet-Hotels.d57274.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [BestWestern Hotels in North Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/North-Sydney-Hotels-Best-Western.0-0-d9182--bBestWestern.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Motel 6 Lethbridge, AB](https://www.expedia.ca/Lethbridge-Hotels-Motel-6-Lethbridge.h890010.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Fairmont.0-0-d178314--bFairmont.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/South-Beach-Miami-Hotels.0-n6138745-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Eldorado at Eldorado Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kelowna-Hotels-Hotel-Eldorado-At-Eldorado-Resort.h1426789.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Staybridge Suites Missoula by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Missoula-Hotels-Staybridge-Suites-Missoula.h1990315.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Cape Scott Provincial Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Scott-Provincial-Park-Hotels.0-l6293823-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Niagara Falls Fallsview](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Niagara-Falls-Fallsview.h918001.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Timehri (GEO) to Punta Cana (PUJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/geo/puj/georgetown-to-punta-cana) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Hamilton (YHM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yhm/calgary-to-hamilton) > > [Flights from Port-au-Prince (PAP) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/pap/fll/port-au-prince-to-fort-lauderdale) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/las/toronto-to-las-vegas) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Chennai (MAA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/maa/edmonton-to-chennai) > > [Flights from Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sgn/yyz/ho-chi-minh-city-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Spokane (GEG) to Phoenix (PHX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/geg/phx/spokane-to-phoenix) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Seattle (SEA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/sea/calgary-to-seattle) ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages > [Ripley's Aquarium of Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Ripleys-Aquarium-Of-Canada-Downtown-Toronto.d6331837.Vacation-Attraction)
