Taking a step back from the opulence, we go to a more tranquil stay: Located in West Vancouver, the house is a small 300 sq. ft. but big on charm. The walls and ceiling of the bedroom and main living space are almost entirely made of glass, allowing occupants to look out at the surrounding trees or better allow its occupants to listen to the rain pattering down. The home comes with a queen size bed, kitchenette, and a propane fire pit.

The tug can take up to eight guests who can enjoy views of the Coast Mountains, Stanley Park, English Bay and downtown Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­skyline.
