If you are looking at the Niagra area, plan atleast one full day in a town called Niagra on the Lake. Very nice and peaceful. Has some small wine tastings, and shops, and places that serve water crest sandwiches on those little mini loafs of rye bread with a cream cheese spread.

Converted from a hospital and insane asylum, this hotel has been host to many claims of haunting. It doesn’t help that most of the original structure was preserved in the renovation, including small details like circuit breakers labeled with ward numbers (pictured right).

The hotel is built entirely from ice and snow, and is reconstructed every year. Bed rolls of industrial sleeping bags and reindeer leather are provided, but extra blankets and thermal gear are encouraged, since the temperature fluctuates between -4 and -7 degrees Celsius.

If you love camping, but hate camping, try a yurt! Since yurts aren’t considered permanent structures, they can be built in protected parks where cabins aren’t allowed. Try the yurts in Alaska’s Kachemak Bay State Park.

These retro bubble trailers are beautifully decorated to become minimalist retreats for beachgoers. You can rent them at Helene’s compound, or take them camping. Check out more of Helene’s trailers and hear the story behind them:
