Get Cozy: Where to Rekindle Romance in BC

Reconnect in Far-Flung Haida Gwaii

For some, reconnecting with a loved one means disconnecting from life’s distractions. You can do just that in Haida Gwaii, an archipelago of 150 rocky islands off BC’s wild west coast that’s home raw wilderness and ancient Indigenous culture. Here, enjoy the quiet calm at the Copper Beech House, a heritage home overlooking the harbour in Masset.

With winter’s quieter months, you can comb windswept beaches, hand in hand, and explore vast, old-growth forest. Back at the house, cozy up over in-season menus before calling it a night in one of five antique-filled rooms, each featuring local Haida art.

To Impress: Take shelter from the storm with tea and scones, and when the skies clear, head to the beach to watch whales feeding at sea.

Add a Spring to Your Step(s) Near 100 Mile House

Log cabins and acres of snowy, forested trails beckon at Spring Lake Guest Ranch, near 100 Mile House. Take advantage of your pretty surroundings with ice skating on the pond or slip into snowshoes or skinny skis to explore the forested trails that wind through the area’s 3,345 hectares (10,000 acres). Ice fishing? It’s an outdoorsy way to bond (what you catch is incidental as you huddle together over a fishing hole). And when you start to feel winter’s nip, head back to your cabin, where you can marvel at the winter landscape from your toasty home away from home.

To Impress: Explore your inner child together with a shriek-worthy ride down an illuminated toboggan track.
