For the Lower Mainland, Harrison Hot Springs is great.
There are also several options on the Sunshine Coast - you could even take the ferry from Nanaimo over to Powell River rather than going through Vancouver proper.

Hi Ora-Lee! If you are planning to take the suggestion on visiting Harrison, you can consider staying at one of the 4 (soon to be 5) cozy suites I guest manage! Not resort style, more b&b but we have a full kitchen for you to enjoy as each suite is self contained. We are also steps to Harrison Lake. If you are interested, Check out our direct booking website here: https://www.elmystays.com/harrison-hot-springs and visit our instagram @elmystays for promotional discounts on the accommodation fee as we are heading in to fall/winter rates!
