From coast to coast, Gayle Macdonald reports on destinations that will help you fall head over heels
Romance can be many things to different people. So when tasked to come up with some of the most romantic destinations in this beautiful country we threw the net wide. We settled on 10 unique locations – some perfect for cold wintry days, others ideal for summer sunsets and lots in between to appeal to anyone looking to spark a new romantic fire, pop the question or reignite a long-term relationship.
Open from May to December, the lodge’s most popular package is Romance in the Wilderness, which starts at $2,500 per couple for two nights and includes daily breakfasts, lunch, a romantic picnic lunch with chilled French Champagne, tea-time cake and pastries, and candlelit four-course dinners.
Owner Mike Freeland built the lodge and five hand-hewn log cabins as a respite for folks eager to experience the raw Taiga of the North – there is literally no one around for 80 kilometres, no lights, no roads, no neighbours. When conditions are right, usually in February or March, guests can build an Inuit-style igloo and camp out watching the borealis, with its purples and greens, dance across the sky.
There are several accommodations to choose from but the ones best-suited to couples are the two wolf cabins, which offer wood burning fireplaces and comfy beds that face out onto the wolf enclosure.
Owners April and Darryl Anderson say guests first come to their lodge, which has been open for eight years with the mandate of offering travellers a quintessential Prairie experience, not quite knowing what to expect. The only way into the lodge is by helicopter, usually from Parson, B.C., and when the pilot departs, the quiet is so complete it’s almost eerie. “The stillness and quiet immediately settles over you,” says Salina McNamara, CMH communications manager. “And you feel like you’ve been transported to the top of the world.”
Four years ago, the family decided to expand their operations and set up seven luxury tents, nestled between trees and perched on the high bank of Fossil Beach, all with oceanfront views. Three of the tents have been designated adult-only, an area that fourth-generation owner Aileen Fearman calls “our romantic zone – we have at least two proposals in one of these tents every season.” .
