"Trout Pond Lodge enjoys a loyal following for its secluded, woodsy location in the Southwest Nova Biosphere Reserve. Self-described as a luxury wilderness resort, the retreat features a main timber lodge that could have been airdropped from a U.S. national park, complete with eight suites done up in handmade log-and-twig furniture, original artworks, and Italian tile or stone bathrooms. Nearby on the property Beaver Hall offers three rooms and a grand lounge with a stone fireplace, while two-bedroom Black Bear Cottage has a full kitchen. Two acclaimed restaurants showcase local fare like scallops served with herbs fresh from the on-site garden; the cellar holds more than 170 wines. Expect to unplug here—there’s no cell service." - Barbara Peck
