Aug 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice place to relax Was a nice break ##### Dani W. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sharyn Jun 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Would have liked to be supplied with top up tea/coffee etc. Very compact as the name suggested as a tiny home. The grass slop to walk down to the tiny home did not have lighting down it and was dangerous as it was wet. The steps up to the tiny home had a fountain covering half the step, we found this dangerous, and had no lighting to safely nagavate to the tiny home. We had brought a little torch otherwise was could not have got into the tiny home safely. ##### Sharyn Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cheap Hotels in Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d178288-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Gorgeous 2 Bedroom 1 Bathroom Guest Suite ](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Gorgeous-2-Bedroom-1-Bathroom-Guest-Suite.h69748117.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in St. Andrews](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Andrews-Hotels.d6141059.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Samba Vallarta - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Samba-Vallarta-All-Inclusive.h1097863.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Muskoka District](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Muskoka-District.d6343146.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Jasper](https://www.expedia.ca/Jasper-Hotels.d10578.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Luxury Hotels in Laval](https://www.expedia.ca/Laval-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d7801-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [MarriottHotelsResorts Hotels in Sandbanks](https://www.expedia.ca/Sandbanks-Hotels-Marriott-Hotels-Resorts.0-0-d6337080--bMarriottHotelsResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Tseung Kwan O](https://www.expedia.ca/Tseung-Kwan-O-Sai-Kung-Hotels.0-n553248633981728334-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Palace Station Hotel and Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Palace-Station-Hotel-And-Casino.h40797.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Brookline](https://www.expedia.ca/Brookline-Hotels.d7091.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Free Airport Shuttle in Kitchener](https://www.expedia.ca/Kitchener-Hotels-Hotels-With-Free-Airport-Shuttle.0-0-d10579-tHotelswithFreeAirportShuttle.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sea Fun Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Saipan-Hotels-Sea-Fun-Villa.h29834974.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Caribbean](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Caribbean-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6022969-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) ### Flights > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Faaa (PPT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/ppt/edmonton-to-papeete) > > [Turkish Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Turkish-Airlines-Flights.cTK.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Bangor (BGR) to Boston (BOS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bgr/bos/bangor-to-boston) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Tel Aviv (TLV)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/tlv/edmonton-to-tel-aviv) > > [Flights from Saint John (YSJ) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ysj/yyz/saint-john-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Buffalo (BUF) to Ottawa (YOW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/buf/yow/buffalo-to-ottawa) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Oranjestad (AUA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/aua/toronto-to-oranjestad) ### Cars ### Packages > [Stratosphere Tower](https://www.expedia.ca/Stratosphere-Tower-Gateway-District.d6159653.Vacation-Attraction) ### General
