This bright and geometric three-bedroom loft looks like something out of a magazine. You can step out the door onto the cobblestone streets of Old Port, Montreal and pretend you’ve jetted all the way to France for a fraction of the cost.

This Kawartha Lakes Gothic church, built in 1869, has since been converted into a beautiful luxury home – though the stained glass windows, bell tower bedroom and ivy-covered church façade give away its past. Beautiful lakes, beaches, golf courses, biking, hiking and snow shoeing trails at your doorstep. $275/night, sleeps 6, airbnb.com.
3. Golden, British Columbia

Surrounded by five national parks, this house is a modern architectural marvel perched on the Blaeberry river and nestled in the Canadian Rockies. Imagine curling up in front of those floor-to-ceiling living room windows (which boast a 180 degree view of forest) with a cup of coffee to watch the sun rise through the trees. Sigh. $449/night, sleeps 8, airbnb.com.
