There were cabins there, down below. The studio flats were 4 along the bottom and 4 on top. They were right on the edge of a cliff looking straight into an inlet off the ocean. Down were a couple of triangle shaped cabins. We must of sat on the deck for 8 hours each day, chatting and drinking wine - perfect. Ooh and Canada beat US in the hockey final :)

I'm originally from Saskatchewan. Anyone seen that circulated email showing a guy taking a crap in a potted plant outside a busy bank? That was in Saskatchewan. My advice - just keep driving, or better yet - fly over!

In Muskoka, where time stood still 30 years ago. Surrounded by bears/deer/racoon/beavers and the lakes (2 hours north of Toronto). - where community spirit abounds :p

Kitsilano in Vancouver, in one of those old (but renovated) homes with an ocean view. Although am pretty happy where I am, it feels like spring in the Okanagan !

Somewhere with less snow with water to look at.

But if money was no object I'd be in the south of France.;)

No offence meant, I spent the first 24 years of my life in Saskatchewan, or Saskaberia as it is affectionately known to me. I am sure to other people it is quite charming!
