Emerald Lake Lodge, Field, British Columbia
Set on an island that is fully encircled by mountain peaks, the 24-cabin lodge is as remote today as it was when it was built in 1902. Guests do not have easy access to TV’s or the Internet, and most rooms are outfitted with balconies overlooking the water. Wildlife spotting is the activity of choice, along with ice-skating and dinner picnics and marshmallow roasts by romantic lakeside fire pits. Doubles from $180. —Stacey Brugeman
