Amazing places to stay in British Columbia, Canada. You won’t want to miss these magical AirBnbs in British Columbia for any budget, travel style and occasion.
British Columbia is one of Canada’s most beautiful provinces with the Pacific at our door step, islands and rainforests, over 7 official wine regions, and a killer food scene to match. There are so many things to do and unique places to stay in British Columbia, including unique accommodations on Vancouver Island and other scenic locations!
1. Blue Wolf Float House, North Vancouver
A steam shower, two balconies and excellent proximity to Stanley Park! The only downfall (if you can call it that) of this property is that a minimum one month stay is required.
2.Jordan River Ethereal Cabin, Vancouver Island
This ethereal modern surf shack is surrounded by 3 acres of private property, a cedar hot tub and BBQ. The interior has tall windows to take advantage of the towering trees and and greenery. It feels remote and yet just down the road you can grab a coffee and enjoy the perks of the Pacific Ocean on Vancouver Island.
3. Shuswap Skydome with Wood Burning Hot Tub, Blind Bay
Glamping at its finest with a view of the southern end of Shuswap Lake. Fitted with an outdoor kitchen, private porto potty, and hot tub on 30 acres of property – it is a remote and off grid getaway for those looking to unplug from daily life and technology.
4. Tin Poppy Retreat, Salmon Arm
Sauna, fire pit and stylish yet funky design in the Larch Hills of Salmon Arm make this retreat one of the coolest Airbnbs in British Columbia.
5. Ucluelet Oceanfront Apartment with Private Sauna & Hot Tub
I have been seeing this development overhanging the Pacific Ocean all over Instagram. It’s called The Nami Project and it consists of these chic apartment-style cabins with the most incredible views and is next door to the Pacific Rim National Park.
6. Moosu House Near Downtown Nelson
A cedar sauna and barrel hot tub along with a stylish railroad style cabin also comes equipped with a welcome care package. Definitely a fitting place to stay during your exploration of the funky and picturesque area of Nelson.

For a peaceful and secluded retreat, look no further than the Rumspringa Huts in Penticton. These off-the-grid cabins are situated on a mountain, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape through its floor-to-ceiling windows. The unique design and natural beauty make it a perfect getaway for those seeking tranquility. Enjoy the private hot tub and outdoor seating areas, and let the serene environment wash over you. Perched above Penticton across 11 acres are the Rumspringa huts. These small but mighty huts are made of reclaimed materials and come with a comfortable bed with views of the valley. A shared commonspace with a full bathroom and the use of BBQs and mini fridges are available.

Yes there is yet another option for a Hobbit House but the demand is high around the world so book when you can. Magna Bay is on the Shuswap Lake not far from Blind Bay or Celista. Unlike the Bridesville Hobbit House, this earth home has more room to spread out. From a library and mini kitchen and includes a TV, indoor electric fire place, fire pit and many modern comforts.

18. Highwater House in Haida Gwaii
It would be a shame to not include a unique stay in Haida Gwaii. I have fond memories of staying on this massive island as a kid. This property is ideal for kiddos looking to get up close and personal with the numerous sea creatures along the beach and shoreline.
19. Incredible Cabin in D’Arcy on Anderson Lake
If you’re looking to house about 6 people this incredible cabin with quirky earth house details and natural materials is it! 14 acres and over 1000 feet of lakefront access, it is a unique Airbnb in British Columbia. This is for a larger family that wants to unplug with no TV and no WIFI. But with the amount of space and spanning mountain views before you…why would you need anything else?
