Netflix’s popular drama Virgin River has swept away viewers for four seasons,
and part one 1 of season 5 has finally (!!!) been released. Based on the novels
by Robyn Carr, the hit show follows Melinda Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge),
who moves to the beautiful and remote town of the show’s namesake after
What’s more, many of these Virgin River filming areas aren’t exotic places that will force you to spend an arm and a leg to travel to. You can even implement them into your own standalone vacations. Whatever the case may be, they’re the perfect destinations for fans looking to see the show come to life in the real world around them. If you’re searching for a scenic vacation that also happens to include spots from some of your favorite television shows, here are some of the most recognizable filming locations from Virgin River.
While Virgin River isn’t a real town, Snug Cove near Vancouver has all the charm and charisma that you’d expect out of small-town life. On a seven-mile-long island, Snug Cove has a population of around 3,700. Virgin River establishing uses shots of Snug Cove’s local library, main streets, and Artisan Lane, which is only a 20-minute ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay in Vancouver.
Back on the mainland, much of the show is shot in and around the city of Vancouver. In the north part of Vancouver, in Murdo Frazer Park, you can find the iconic, cozy cabin that Mel lived in after it was fixed up by Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson). In the pilot episode, Mel unhappily finds a rundown, dirty cabin meant to be her home. But Jack manages to spruce up the place, compelling Mel to stay in Virgin River. The cabin and its grassy yard serve as the background for a number of important scenes throughout the show. But this is not the cabin’s television debut. It also starred in Once Upon a Time, The Flash and Supernatural.
