Nimmo Bay Wilderness Resort

Cedar wood chalets perch along a stream or over the intertidal zone of Nimmo Bay, north of Vancouver, Canada. Adventures include kayaking, salmon fishing, and bear watching. Two hot tubs face a 5,000-foot waterfall, and a floating dock spurs campfire jam sessions. Packages from $6,350, May through October.
