Summer may be peak cottage season, but there’s something to be said for a few days at the lake come fall. It’s less crowded, more peaceful, the water is warm, and the evenings are cool (and less buggy). Why not take a few days and head out on a little getaway? These cottage rentals are calling your name!

What’s not to like about this Fairy Lake family cottage? There’s a large living room space inside, but chances are you’ll spend most of your time on the deck or on the dock, or maybe even around the fire pit. Wherever you choose to sit and relax here, you’ll have an amazing view of the quiet waters.

The west coast is known as the ‘best coast’ for a reason—just check out this log cabin rental on Active Pass, a marine passage separating Galiano and Mayne islands. Whether you’re lounging on the deck or soaking in the hot tub, there are plenty of opportunities to see the wildlife this area is known for: orca whales, eagles, seals, sea lions, and otters.
