This tiny, mountainside cabin is perfect for two best friends or a couple visiting Chilliwack River Valley, a popular attraction is the simplistic city of Chilliwack. Falling fast asleep to the sound of the rushing river, surrounded by the soaring mountains, and enchantment of the lush rainforest. The great outdoors lets you immerse into the charm of nature to the fullest. Fishing, hiking, mountain biking, rafting – you name it!

Staying in this self-sufficient glamping spot is a joy itself. There is a space heater, heated blankets, and urine-diverting composting style toilet but no shower. Learn to use the sink with a cold running tap using RV-style plumbing. On the patio outdoors, you have a BBQ facility to throw some sizzling grilled meat and laze around by the bonfire. Emily does offer WiFi but book this place if you want to unplug from digital buzzes!

7.  Second Breakfast Hideaway

Ever since The Hobbit, an epic high fantasy adventure film, was aired in 2012, living in that quirky Bag End house has always been a dream of the movie fans. Christina, an Airbnb host, will make your dream come true with her earth house hidden on the edge of a hill.

The fantasy house can sleep two. It’s located 25-30 minutes east of Osoyoos in the Okanagan Highlands of British Columbia. Making a base at her house means you have a chance to explore hordes of acres and backcountry trails, finish the unfinished book, play some chess, or simply switch off in the comfy bed and kick back by the firepit in front of your hobbit house.

Small but mighty, Christine’s Airbnb is fully stocked with a kitchen, bedroom, tiny yet comfy bathroom, and even a fire pit to keep warm. Just a small heads-up: this is an authentic unplugged experience so bring your tablets and any other sources of entertainment as she offers no TV or Wifi.

8.  Van Life in a Cozy Heated 1970 VW Bus

Down the rabbit hole! Who would have thought they could ever sleep on a fully-equipped beach bus that’s connected to an outdoor hobbit-like kitchen in disguise?

British Columbia’s coolest Airbnbs truly have no bar hold. Right here by the lapping waves of Jordan River, Kaitlyne sets up a cute minivan with a huge plush bed at its heart topped with comfy pillows for two adventurous travelers.

The van is parked on a private property with easy access to the shore and she can’t stress enough how beautiful the sunset can get over there, so make sure you won’t miss out on a long stroll by the water before the sun beams down.

And if you’re fretting over sleeping in a powerless unit, rest assured! Kaitlyne set up a 12V power station to juice up your phone. She even has a Bluetooth speaker if you ever wanna kick back with your favorite jam in the enchanting sounds of the groovy forest. Right on the exit, an outdoor shower stocked up with shampoo, conditioner, clean towels, and a toilet stand by to ensure you have a pleasant stay.

And don’t worry about getting cold at night! All you need to do is turn up the heater a while before bedtime to ensure you have the best comfort of home curling up under the mattress.
