Get away from it all...
If you've ever watched the Netflix series, Virgin River, you've seen this cabin. It's the one that Mel lived in. And it's been in so many movies....it was McGyver's cabin back in the 1980's, Stargate, and the list goes on and on. It is in North Vancouver, so yesterday, we decided to walk to it.
It's really tucked away, in fact, I didn't know it was there till last week. It's in Murdo Frazer Park - a short walk through the woods, and you're there, 10 minutes from a residential area and the highway is very close, but you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere.
It was originally built around 1950 as a wilderness hunting lodge, and the owner added the handmade duck pond you see here. North Vancouver District acquired it in 1969. Nowadays it is used only for filming at $2,500 a day. This year the cabin is going to be updated and it has been declared a heritage designation.
With all the water around here - the pond and MacKay Creek running through the park, everything is still pretty green here.
