* VRBO has recently changed their policy. They used to show Canadian properties in Canadian dollars but they have switched to showing the "from rate" in U.S. dollars and also using the lowest season rate. This is misleading to our valued guests. When you do actually request specific dates it converts to Canadian dollars - but we wanted you to know up front that the price that is shown in your initial search is not necessarily in Canadian dollars or for the actual dates you want. Our apologies to our Canadian guests.
