Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keith Feb 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication So quiet a kilometre off the highway. A little cottage set among trees and shrubs up a gravel driveway. Two friendly dogs. German Shepherd and ? Labrador. Both understand “Go Home” and a pointing finger. Even a smart black cat later. No Wi-Fi no Lebara signal. But close to Fairlie. Lovely. ##### Keith Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela Nov 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication It was peaceful and immediately made me feel relaxed to overlook the hills, the cows in the nearby paddock & the trees and gardens surrounding the cabin; I wish I had spent my whole 5 days in the Fairlie/Geraldine area here. It was clean & modern, well equiped kitchen, really comfortable bed and couch, great shower, good heat pump. While there was no WiFi, sometimes in life that is good; I didn’t find it an issue. Free to air TV is available. Oh, and the visit by the beautiful dog and a very friendly and healthy looking cat that obviously are familiar with the cabin was nice. ##### Pamela Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Business Hotels in Tokyo](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels-Business-Hotel.0-0-d179900-tBusinessHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Montreal Airport Marriott In-Terminal Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Montreal-Airport-Marriott-In-Terminal-Hotel.h2784548.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis London Earls Court](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Ibis-London-Earls-Court.h14264.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kelowna](https://www.expedia.ca/Kelowna-Hotels.d3997.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Fairmont Banff Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-Hotels-Fairmont-Banff-Springs.h13652.Hotel-Information) > > [Hótel Kría](https://www.expedia.ca/Vik-I-Myrdal-Hotels-Hotel-Kria.h22847314.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Dubai by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Dubai-Hotels-Voco-Hotel.h3990073.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Sudbury by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Sudbury-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Sudbury.h564084.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Los Angeles Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Westin-Los-Angeles-Airport.h22134.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hermitage Hotel Mount Cook](https://www.expedia.ca/Mount-Cook-Hotels-The-Hermitage-Hotel-Mount-Cook.h179149.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Calgary-Calgary-Hotels.0-n6057872-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Quality Inn Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-St-Jean-Sur-Richelieu.h5959.Hotel-Information) > > [Royalton Splash Punta Cana, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Royalton-Splash-Punta-Cana-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h6480724.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Hinton](https://www.expedia.ca/Hinton-Hotels.d180429.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Glendale Express Hotel Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Glendale-Express-Hotel-Los-Angeles.h24873.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Ziva Riviera Maya - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Morelos-Hotels-Hyatt-Ziva-Riviera-Maya-All-Inclusive.h66929913.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Spadai](https://www.expedia.ca/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Spadai.h10447242.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yyz/vancouver-to-toronto) > > [Air Canada Vancouver (YVR) to Honolulu (HNL) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/air-canada-from-vancouver-intl-to-daniel-k-inouye-intl/ac/yvr/hnl) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Prince George (YXS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yxs/vancouver-to-prince-george) > > [Flights from Houston (HOU) to Dallas (DFW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/hou/dfw/houston-to-dallas) > > [Flights from Narita (NRT) to Chek Lap Kok (HKG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/nrt/hkg/tokyo-to-hong-kong) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Calgary.d178245.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Guatemala City](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Guatemala-City.d6053902.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Las Vegas Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas.d178276.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit British Columbia](https://www.expedia.ca/British-Columbia.dx11117)
