Book direct & have more money left for lobster.

We don’t think you should be charged to book your own vacation. The big booking engines are built on that idea and an array of plus, plus, plus fees. It all adds up to a whole lotta money for you and needlessly takes away from what you actually left to enjoy your vacation.

Here is some welcomed news - There are NEVER any booking fees, pet fees or change fees when you book direct at sleepyhouse.ca.

Our own secure booking platform allows you to confidently book your next stay, pay by credit card, add coverage and all with a potential savings of up to 35% in a fee free environment. It’s that easy.
