The location was incredibly quiet—just what we needed to unwind and recharge. The cottage itself was spotless, with super comfortable beds that made for restful nights. Fiona, our host, went above and beyond—very responsive and thoughtful throughout our visit. We also really appreciated the many amenities, especially the breakfast items that were ready and waiting for us. A true hidden gem, and we can’t wait to come back! ##### Lori Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Tigh-Na-Mara-Seaside-Spa-Resort.h891260.Hotel-Information) > > [Painter's Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Campbell-River-Hotels-Painters-Lodge.h8189731.Hotel-Information) > > [Emerald Lake Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Golden-Hotels-Emerald-Lake-Lodge.h191535.Hotel-Information) > > [Watermark Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Osoyoos-Hotels-Watermark-Beach-Resort.h2856418.Hotel-Information) > > [Walnut Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Osoyoos-Hotels-Walnut-Beach-Resort.h1880440.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Tin Wis Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tofino-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Tin-Wis-Resort.h16629.Hotel-Information) > > [Rockwater Secret Cove Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Halfmoon-Bay-Hotels-Rockwater-Secret-Cove-Resort.h1663160.Hotel-Information) > > [Executive Plaza Hotel Metro Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Executive-Plaza-Hotel-Metro-Vancouver.h201072.Hotel-Information) > > [Sparkling Hill Resort and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Vernon-Hotels-Sparkling-Hill-Wellness-Resort-And-Spa-Adult-Only-Resort.h3489503.Hotel-Information) > > [Kingfisher Pacific Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Courtenay-Hotels-Kingfisher-Oceanside-Resort-And-Spa.h41335.Hotel-Information) > > [Coast Bastion Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Coast-Bastion-Hotel.h40652.Hotel-Information) > > [Manning Park Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Manning-Park-Hotels-Manning-Park-Resort.h1086569.Hotel-Information) > > [Crazy Creek Resort & Hot Pools](https://www.expedia.ca/Malakwa-Hotels-Crazy-Creek-Resort-Hot-Pools.h12934433.Hotel-Information) > > [Brentwood Bay Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Brentwood-Bay-Resort-Spa.h1077147.Hotel-Information) > > [Rowena's Inn On The River](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilliwack-Hotels-Rowenas-Inn-On-The-River.h8343282.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Hot Springs Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fairmont-Hot-Springs-Hotels-Fairmont-Hot-Springs-Resort.h30999850.Hotel-Information) > > [Halcyon Hot Springs Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nakusp-Hotels-Halcyon-Hot-Springs-Village-Spa.h15120434.Hotel-Information) > > [Copper Point Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Invermere-Hotels-Copper-Point-Resort.h4306045.Hotel-Information) > > [Pacific Shores Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Pacific-Shores-Resort-Spa.h16295324.Hotel-Information) > > [Penticton Lakeside Resort and Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Penticton-Hotels-Penticton-Lakeside-Resort-And-Conference-Centre.h17500.Hotel-Information) > > [Prestige Vernon Lodge and Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Vernon-Hotels-Prestige-Vernon-Lodge-And-Conference-Centre.h7229330.Hotel-Information) > > [Long Beach Lodge Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tofino-Hotels-Long-Beach-Lodge-Resort.h1892359.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilliwack-Hotels-Harrison-Hot-Springs-Resort-And-Spa.h553971.Hotel-Information) > > [Black Rock Oceanfront Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tofino-Hotels-Black-Rock-Oceanfront-Resort.h2432309.Hotel-Information) > > [THE Beach Club Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-THE-Beach-Club-Resort.h1899963.Hotel-Information) > > [Spirit Ridge, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.ca/Osoyoos-Hotels-Spirit-Ridge.h1216219.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature Prince George Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Prince-George-Hotels-Sandman-Signature-Prince-George-Hotel.h3987864.Hotel-Information) > > [Middle Beach Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Tofino-Hotels-Middle-Beach-Lodge.h1784869.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Zed Tofino](https://www.expedia.ca/Tofino-Hotels-Hotel-Zed-Tofino.h6242279.Hotel-Information) > > [Coast Capri Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kelowna-Hotels-Coast-Capri-Hotel.h40645.Hotel-Information)
