Some of the amenities were not in good condition for use and looked unkept (pool, grill). There were mouse droppings inside of the house in several areas. ##### Katherinne Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Zygmunt Sep 20, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This property is advertised as having a pool and spa. Neither were clean and the spa was half empty. Lack of communication from the host made us lose a night, at the property which was not reimbursed in anyway. ##### Zygmunt Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Bigfork](https://www.expedia.ca/Bigfork-Hotels.d79861.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Luxurious Penthouse in Trendy Yaletown with Private Rooftop Pool](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Luxurious-Penthouse-In-Trendy-Yaletown-With-Private-Rooftop-Pool.h92208554.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Playa Blanca - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Rio-Hato-Hotels-Riu-Playa-Blanca-All-Inclusive.h7326126.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Free Parking in New York](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Hotels-With-Free-Parking.0-0-d178293-tHotelswithFreeParking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Mountain Lake Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Blacksburg-Hotels-Mountain-Lake-Lodge.h12055.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Islington](https://www.expedia.ca/Islington-London-Hotels.0-n179520-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels.d178288.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Arc The Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Arc-The-Hotel.h9493.Hotel-Information) > > [Monte Carlo Inn Vaughan Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Monte-Carlo-Inn-Vaughan-Suites.h1398784.Hotel-Information) > > [Montcalm Piccadilly Townhouse, London West End](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Piccadilly-London-West-End.h3551.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels.d180676.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Reykjavik](https://www.expedia.ca/Keflavik-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aKEF-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with a Pool in Timmins](https://www.expedia.ca/Timmins-Hotels-Hotel-With-Pool.0-0-d4091-tHotelwithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Gillam (YGX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/ygx/winnipeg-to-gillam) > > [Air Canada Montreal (YUL) to Paris (CDG) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/air-canada-from-pierre-elliott-trudeau-intl-to-roissy-charles-de-gaulle/ac/yul/cdg) > > [Flights from Seattle (SEA) to Dubai (DXB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sea/dxb/seattle-to-dubai) > > [Flights from Miami (MIA) to Santo Domingo (SDQ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mia/sdq/miami-to-santo-domingo) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Hamilton (YHM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yhm/calgary-to-hamilton) > > [Air Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-Canada-Flights.cAC.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Orlando (MCO) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mco/yyz/orlando-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Tel Aviv (TLV)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/tlv/toronto-to-tel-aviv) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Lisbon District (LIS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/lis/calgary-to-lisbon) ### Activities ### Packages ### Vacation Rentals ### General
