Local Getaways in Fall
Looking to get away for a long weekend with the lady in October or November, was wondering if you guys had any suggestions? Just looking for some R&R time to unwind, no wintersports or anything. Maybe look up a rental vacation property.
Whistler or Harrison are obvious choices, so wanted something different. Nothing in the interior as I don't want to risk driving on the Coquihalla in winter.
Thanks!

Gulf Islands, Tofino as mentioned above(wickaninnish inn is rated one of the top resort in NA, usually $300+ a night though, $550 if you want a suite), Comox/Courteney has a decent resort, maybe even Nanaimo, Sunshine coast..
You would need ferry ride for them and it's not cheap nowdays though..

Galiano Island Resort. Only a 50 min ferry right AND the resort is next to the terminal so you don't need a car
