Excellent accommodation very clean and comfortable ##### Alan ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth D. 27 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gorgeous River view We loved our stay. Clean and quiet. Had all we needed. Air fryer, hot plate, pot, pan, dishes, microwave, coffee maker, etc. Comfy bed and pillows, plenty of towels, hair dryers etc. Loved having the grill to make some steaks, loved the firepit (that someone else had lit and had going), and the view could not be beat. Thank you! ##### Elizabeth D. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tanya 15 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Great location and nice and clean. ##### Tanya Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tanya 11 Aug 2025 #### Beautiful property with everything we needed in our suite! Quiet, central location that has lots of space for everyone. Clean and tidy suite that was fully stocked. ##### Tanya This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christy 28 Aug 2025 #### Amazing! So beautiful. We went for two nights to see if we wanted to plan for a week there. We will be booking for one week next year! Beautiful aesthetic. Loved the hammocks, games on the lawn and the fact that one end of the dock is protected by rocks from the river so you can walk around or float without ending up in the river. Loved the air fryer and induction cook top in the kitchen. Very friendly staff. Great lighting outside but just need one for the patio table so that you can play board games there. Thanks!!! ##### Christy This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Tyler 16 Aug 2025 #### Riverfront and amazingly clean The cabin type room with a small kitchenette, table, couch, and bed all in the same room was extra clean and great for one night. The bathroom was one of the cleanest ever! I was worried about the shared backyard and river area but the only other guests we saw out there were quiet and friendly. The only reason for 4 stars is the lightweight bed frame. While the mattress was comfy, the cheap bed frame is not going to hold up to the weight of a couple who weigh more than a combined 300 pounds ##### Tyler ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Winston Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Golden-Hotels-Winston-Lodge.h1827929.Hotel-Information) > > [Eleven Revelstoke Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Revelstoke-Hotels-The-Explorers-Society-Hotel.h16491226.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bulldog Hotel Silver Star](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Silver-Star-Mountain-Hotels-The-Bulldog-Hotel-Silver-Star.h6502748.Hotel-Information) > > [West Coast Wilderness Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Egmont-Hotels-West-Coast-Wilderness-Lodge.h9786931.Hotel-Information) > > [108 Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/100-Mile-House-Hotels-108-Golf-Resort.h16525.Hotel-Information) > > [Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nanaimo-Hotels-Tigh-Na-Mara-Seaside-Spa-Resort.h891260.Hotel-Information) > > [Black Rock Oceanfront Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tofino-Hotels-Black-Rock-Oceanfront-Resort.h2432309.Hotel-Information) > > [THE Beach Club Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nanaimo-Hotels-THE-Beach-Club-Resort.h1899963.Hotel-Information) > > [Whispering Pines](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Golden-Hotels-Whispering-Pines.h3785264.Hotel-Information) > > [Misty Meadows B&B](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Victoria-Hotels-Misty-Meadows-Bed-And-Breakfast.h10082234.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chilliwack-Hotels-Harrison-Hot-Springs-Resort-And-Spa.h553971.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrison Lake Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chilliwack-Hotels-Harrison-Lake-Hotel.h63504.Hotel-Information) > > [Panorama Mountain Resort - Ski Tip Tamarack Condos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Panorama-Hotels-Panorama-Mountain-Resort-Ski-Tip-Tamarack-Condos.h914321.Hotel-Information) > > [Sparkling Hill Resort and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vernon-Hotels-Sparkling-Hill-Wellness-Resort-And-Spa-Adult-Only-Resort.h3489503.Hotel-Information) > > [Helmcken Falls Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clearwater-Hotels-Helmcken-Falls-Lodge.h68847936.Hotel-Information) > > [Emerald Lake Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Golden-Hotels-Emerald-Lake-Lodge.h191535.Hotel-Information) > > [Kettle Valley Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penticton-Hotels-Kettle-Valley-Beach-Resort.h83175601.Hotel-Information) > > [Stonebridge Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Beaverdell-Hotels-Stonebridge-Lodge.h3091665.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sentinel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kaslo-Hotels-The-Sentinel.h24952011.Hotel-Information) > > [Chameleon Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castlegar-Hotels-Chameleon-Hotel.h7862293.Hotel-Information) > > [Wolfwood Guest Ranch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clearwater-Hotels-Wolfwood-Guest-Ranch.h22070811.Hotel-Information) > > [Fernie Fox Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cranbrook-Hotels-Fernie-Fox-Hotel.h897673.Hotel-Information) > > [Private beach and lake access at Windermere Lake.
