Built on 60-year-old logs, these lodges can hold between four to 10 people and they cost $220 to $400 a night making it the ideal retreat for you and your squad. There's a two-night minimum stay, so it's sure to be an adventure. Getting here is an experience in itself because the only way in is by boat.

Make sure you pack enough food for your stay as there are no restaurants or stores nearby either. You'll even spot people reeling in fish and grilling them straight up. You can hold hands with your boo or sunbathe on the deck, cannon-ball into the water for a swim or even rent kayaks, canoes or motorboats starting at $60 a day.
