Summer is finally really honestly here in BC and we can't wait to get out there. We have our swimsuits and our floaties at the ready for a summer adventure, but sometimes booking a local hotel room can be as expensive as a trip to Mexico. Rather than scrap the idea of a mini-getaway, why not find one that fits your budget? We've found the most fun and affordable places to vacation and catch up with your best friends this summer. If you have a few friends that you've been meaning to spend time with, then you should organize a weekend getaway together ASAP. Everyone is in a good mood in the summer and I promise they'll be more likely to say 'yes' to an adventure with you now than they will in the grey, dreary days of November. Here are 7 cheap summer getaways girls-only getaways you should definitely book this in BC: Girls Getaway To Gibsons Glamping Hub Live the cottage life with your besties on Gibsons for an island getaway this summer! This cute cottage is super cheap at just $42 per night when you split it with three of your friends. That adorable patio is literally made for sipping rosé on a summer afternoon.
