Little Miss Sunshine (Coast)

Summering with Clooney on Lake Como is in your five-year plan, but until
that happens make Sakinaw
Lake Lodge your second home for holidaying.

Only an hour north of Langdale, the off-grid lodge is as lakeside as it
gets. Hosts Liza and Garrett, young, hip and hospitable
ex-Vancouverites, ferry you over on their pontoon cruiser with a glass
of wine. The spacious second storey Cedar Suite, steps from the water,
features a fully equipped kitchen, wood-burning fireplace, claw foot
tub, private deck and big windows for lake and mountain views.

A hot breakfast is provided (lemon ricotta pancakes anyone?) or rent out
the whole lodge with friends and prep all your own meals in the
outfitted outdoor kitchen.

While just gazing at the pristine water is entertainment enough, a world
of water sports, like kayaking, tubing and hot tubbing, are also there
for the taking, not to mention our favourite activityfireside chats over
smores.

From $269 a night, Sakinaw Lake Lodge, Sakinaw Lake Rd., Pender Harbour,
604-341-1720, www.sakinawlakelodge.com
