Den 12

The Nook
Sechelt, British ColumbiaĀ
Itās all Boho beach vibes at this Sechelt spot. The decor sits somewhere between cabin-chic and soft indie aesthetics, featuring views of the forest and Sechelt Inlet.

The piece de resistance is a barrel sauna neighboured by a hot tub thatās almost too adorable to use. Thereās laundry, a desk, and a large deck to enjoy your coffee on. Get too comfy, and you might not want to leave.
Cost: $280/nightĀ

And while youāre on the subject of education, why not learn a little more about each other?Ā
