Believe it or not, this charming retreat was hand-sculpted using sustainable, natural materials local to Vancouver Island. And as one visitor commented, you can “sleep to the sound of frogs” and “wake up to the songs of birds.” Sounds like a fairytale to us!

The Mayne Island home unsurprisingly takes the title for Canada’s Most Wish-listed Unique Stay—if you want to book your staycation, you’ll have to try and snag a spot for next year before they’re all booked.
