The setting is very peaceful. Port Perry is only 10 mins away, for buying food or other necessities. I only wish there were better hikes on the property. I wanted to go for an hour long hike, but the trails would lead me back to the yurt after only 20 minutes of walking. ##### Reena K. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Melissa 15 Aug 2024 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities Interior decor was not my taste with fake flowers and plants. I did like the battery string lights. More directions on how to use propane hot plate and pump water bottle were necessary. ##### Melissa Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ethan 22 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities . ##### Ethan Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Baker Creek By Basecamp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Louise-Hotels-Baker-Creek-Mountain-Resort.h7710611.Hotel-Information) > > [Long Beach Lodge Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tofino-Hotels-Long-Beach-Lodge-Resort.h1892359.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Fairmont-Jasper-Park-Lodge.h24928.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Bungalows](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Pine-Bungalows.h37405792.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake Louise Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Louise-Hotels-Lake-Louise-Inn.h74992.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Whitby by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oshawa-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Whitby.h456085.Hotel-Information) > > [Black Rock Oceanfront Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tofino-Hotels-Black-Rock-Oceanfront-Resort.h2432309.Hotel-Information) > > [Glacier House Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Revelstoke-Hotels-Glacier-House-Resort.h2832756.Hotel-Information) > > [Emerald Lake Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Golden-Hotels-Emerald-Lake-Lodge.h191535.Hotel-Information) > > [Alpine Meadows Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clearwater-Hotels-Alpine-Meadows-Resort.h12489764.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crimson Jasper](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-The-Crimson-Jasper.h28261.Hotel-Information) > > [Alt Hotel Halifax Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Halifax-Hotels-Alt-Hotel-Halifax-Airport.h6159326.Hotel-Information) > > [Jasper Inn & Suites by INNhotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Jasper-Inn-Suites-By-Sunrise.h32667087.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn by Hilton Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Membertou-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-By-Hilton-Sydney-Nova-Scotia.h4905064.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun Peaks Grand Hotel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kamloops-Hotels-Sun-Peaks-Grand-Hotel-Conference-Centre.h888272.Hotel-Information) > > [Tonquin Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Tonquin-Inn.h6709279.Hotel-Information) > > [Marmot Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Marmot-Lodge.h28260.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Chatham South by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chatham-Kent-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Chatham-South.h3920854.Hotel-Information) > > [Penticton Lakeside Resort and Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penticton-Hotels-Penticton-Lakeside-Resort-And-Conference-Centre.h17500.Hotel-Information) > > [Moberly Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Golden-Hotels-Moberly-Lodge.h11765247.Hotel-Information) > > [Whistler's Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Whistlers-Inn.h920356.Hotel-Information) > > [Forest Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Sawridge-Inn-Jasper.h126160.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunshine Mountain Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunshine-Hotels-Sunshine-Mountain-Lodge.h894279.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chilliwack-Hotels-Harrison-Hot-Springs-Resort-And-Spa.h553971.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Louise-Hotels-Fairmont-Chateau-Lake-Louise.h22503.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Pembroke by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pembroke-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Pembroke.h5598436.Hotel-Information) > > [Pyramid Lake Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Pyramid-Lake-Resort.h487039.Hotel-Information) > > [Castle Mountain Chalets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castle-Junction-Hotels-Castle-Mountain-Chalets.h6508769.Hotel-Information) > > [Banff Gate Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canmore-Hotels-Banff-Gate-Mountain-Resort.h5900828.Hotel-Information)
