  • PNP made CBC’s list of cozy cold-weather getaway ideas

    Point No Point Resort was first on CBC’s list of cozy cold-weather getaway ideas to book across Canada.

    “Still have a few vacation days to use up? We’d spend them at any of these charming cabins, resorts and lodges

    Along with purchasing appropriate footwear, the best way to cope with the colder weather? Embrace it.

    A late-year weekend getaway close to home can be just the ticket.

    We went hunting for the coziest cabins, lodges and resorts across the country. With fireplaces, hot tubs, hiking trails and s‘mores, these 10 properties will help you embrace the cooler weather like a proud Canadian.

    To spite its defeatist moniker, this Vancouver Island property on the shores of the Pacific might actually be one of the best places in the world to hit the reset button. Each of Point No Point’s 25 beachfront cabins feature fireplaces, full kitchens and flawless views across the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Many of the units have hot tubs overlooking the water as well. Wifi is not available in the cabins, guests are encouraged to trade smartphones for wildlife-spotting binoculars, and in true off-the-grid style, reservations must be made by phone or snail mail.”

    Cabins on the cliff, by Rachel Levin

    Victoria may be only an hour away, but the 25 cabins at Point-No-Point Resort might as well be at the end of the Earth — a rugged, woodsy, ocean cliff stretch of it at that. Cedar-cute and woodstove-cozy, many of the one- and two-room cabins were built in the ’50s but ace the test of time. All have picture windows framing the Pacific, wooden decks with bright Red Adirondacks, and pebbly paths that lead to the intimate, window walled Tearoom restaurant ($$$) — and the private beach below. Tired of that one? Just hit the winding road to a host of others along this southwest corner of Vancouver Island — French Beach, China Beach, Botanical Beach — each an easy hike and all-but-abandoned.
