However the owner had another property nearby and was very accommodating. He offered for us to stay at the second larger place for the same price. Shanon was a great host and informed us of all the nearby amenities and parks we could explore. Overall we enjoyed our stay and will be back for another visit. ##### Lisa A. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Miette Mountain Cabins](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pocahontas-Hotels-Pocahontas-Cabins.h977909.Hotel-Information) > > [Canalside Restaurant, Inn & Kitchen store](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Canalside-Restaurant.h10014232.Hotel-Information) > > [Wolseley Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Nipissing-Hotels-Wolseley-Lodge.h11885653.Hotel-Information) > > [Jasper Inn & Suites by INNhotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Jasper-Inn-Suites-By-Sunrise.h32667087.Hotel-Information) > > [Pickering Casino Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pickering-Hotels-Pickering-Casino-Resort.h89435702.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Gravenhurst Muskoka Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Huntsville-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Gravenhurst-Muskoka-Wharf.h2621805.Hotel-Information) > > [Forest Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jasper-Hotels-Sawridge-Inn-Jasper.h126160.Hotel-Information) > > [Retro Suites Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chatham-Kent-Hotels-Retro-Suites-Hotel.h15283297.Hotel-Information) > > [Martin's Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cornwall-Hotels-Martins-Inn.h17238982.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cornwall-Hotels-Comfort-Inn.h13412.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) > > [Hampton Inn by Hilton Sudbury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sudbury-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-By-Hilton-Sudbury.h2246716.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn by Hilton Peterborough](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Peterborough-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Peterborough.h38521814.Hotel-Information) > > [The Voy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Schreiber-Hotels-The-Voy.h46366018.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandy Lane Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Algonquin-Highlands-Hotels-Sandy-Lane-Resort.h110933314.Hotel-Information) > > [Mystic Isle Motel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wawa-Hotels-Mystic-Isle-Motel.h3883882.Hotel-Information) > > [Eleven Revelstoke Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Revelstoke-Hotels-The-Explorers-Society-Hotel.h16491226.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chilliwack-Hotels-Harrison-Hot-Springs-Resort-And-Spa.h553971.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Mountain Resort Village Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Blue-Mountain-Resort-Village-Suites.h10940024.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Whitby by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oshawa-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Whitby.h456085.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stratford Hotel by Hoco Hotels Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Hotels-The-Stratford-Hotel.h18159432.Hotel-Information) > > [The Grand Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Smiths-Falls-Hotels-The-Grand-Hotel.h22315132.Hotel-Information) > > [Plantation House Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Peterborough-Hotels-Plantation-House-Bed-Breakfast.h12535339.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada by Wyndham Cornwall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cornwall-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Cornwall.h6138.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sentinel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kaslo-Hotels-The-Sentinel.h24952011.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Pembroke by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pembroke-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Pembroke.h5598436.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn by Hilton Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Membertou-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-By-Hilton-Sydney-Nova-Scotia.h4905064.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn Chatham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chatham-Kent-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Chatham.h2079.Hotel-Information) > > [Black Rock Oceanfront Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tofino-Hotels-Black-Rock-Oceanfront-Resort.h2432309.Hotel-Information) ---
