Sometimes the good life is closer than you think.

This lil slice of paradise will make you want to pack your bags, leave the city behind, and never look back. Ok, maybe we're being a tad dramatic. But this lakeside lodge is the perfect retreat for when you need some respite from the hustle and bustle of urban living.

Sakinaw Lake is located about an hour's drive from Gibsons, and this vacation home is off the grid and boat access only.  Providing a remote setting just two hours outside of Vancouver, Sakinaw Lake offers serenity, solitude, and simple pleasures in abundance. Whether you're looking for rest, adventure, good company or good times, you're guaranteed to find it here.

This gorgeous lodge offers a luxurious atmosphere with a rustic twist, outfitted with all the modern conveniences you could desire. Four large bedrooms offer plenty of privacy and space for those lucky enough to be invited, and the open concept living area is perfect for cozying by the fire, playing cards, or good conversation. The well-appointed kitchen has everything you need for family-style dinner, and an outdoor deck is a BBQ lover's dream. A luxurious safari style tent is also located on the property, perfect for a worry-free camp-out for the kids, or for those wanting a little more privacy.

Located right on the shoreline of the warm and clear Sakinaw Lake, you'll have access to multiple private decks and docks for swimming, reading, and tanning. Just imagine mornings spent sipping coffee, soaking up sunshine, and taking in the majestic views of the water and nearby mountains. Those with a taste for adventure can enjoy hiking, canoeing, mountain biking, and more. Come evening you can enjoy gazing at the star speckled sky from the warmth of the hot tub or roasting marshmallows around the fire pit - both options that will keep you feeling warm and jolly well into the night.

It's not often that properties are listed for sale in this neck of the woods - most of the neighbouring homes fall into the 'kept firmly in the family' category of dealings. Which should be a tip-off as to just how special this slice of the Sunshine Coast is.
