Dream Stay: Tree Pods

It's busy weeks like this one that make me wish I had my own little place to run and escape to every now and then. How cool are these Free Spirit Spheres, located in Qualicum Beach on Vancouver Island. Their website has three different models with rates, and all have room to sleep two comfortably. There is something so peaceful and refreshing about being in the forest - what a unique way to experience it.
