Where is Virgin River filmed? Guide to ALL the Locations - The House & the Bar
Posted by Ra Moon
Now back for the fourth season, Virgin River was filmed in and around Vancouver in British Columbia. The story follows nurse practitioner Melinda Munroe who decides to make a fresh start after becoming a widow.
Melinda moves to the remote (and fictional) Californian town of Virgin River, located in the redwood forests of Humboldt County, where the series is set. Melinda meets an intriguing man, Jack Sheridan, who is a former Marine, and owner of Jack’s Bar.
Melinda moves to the remote (and fictional) Californian town of Virgin River, located in the redwood forests of Humboldt County, where the series is set. Melinda meets an intriguing man, Jack Sheridan, who is a former Marine, and owner of Jack’s Bar.
Created by Sue Tenney, the show stars Alexandra Breckenridge (This Is Us, American Horror Story) as Melinda, while Martin Henderson (Grey’s Anatomy) plays Jack.
Netflix's Virgin River is an adaptation based on Robyn Carr's bestselling 20-book series of the same name.
Welcome to the best and most complete guide to the filming locations of the show that you can find. You’ll find the locations more or less in order of appearance, with the new season four updates below in the report.
Welcome to Virgin River, California
In the first season, some exteriors of the fictional village were recorded in Bowen Island.
The film crew took footage of the streets and buildings in the charming harbor town of Snug Cove, as reported by the local news source Bowen Island Undercurrent.
Note the American flag waving in front of the Canadian town public library. The neighborhood around Artisan Lane is full of cute and colorful houses.

The Virgin River House
Our sleuthing revealed that the magnificent Vernon Mullins' Family Practice Clinic house is located at 122 First Street in New Westminster.
This Victorian home, built in 1889, is situated in the historic Queen’s Park neighborhood. According to this property's listing service, the house is nicknamed Breezehurst.

The mansion is a spectacular Queen Anne-style home featuring more than 6,000 square feet of living space over four floors, a lovely wrap-around veranda, mature gardens, and the beautiful stained glass windows that we can appreciate in the series.
However, Doc's house interiors are a set built at the studios.
Mel's cabin is the caretaker’s house in Murdo Frazer Park on Vancouver's North Shore, near the Pitch and Putt Public golf course.
Since it was built in 1950, the cabin has often appeared in movies and TV shows including The Flash, The Magicians, Once Upon a Time, or Siren.

After fixing it, the log cabin looks this good. The area where the house is located in North Vancouver is fairly dense residential, with lots of developments around.
However, it seems rural because the house is on a park with five acres of land with wooded trails and a small pond.
The exteriors of Jack's bar were filmed at The Watershed Grill near the Eagle Run Viewing Shelter in Brackendale (Squamish).
This is a fantastic place with awesome views over the Brackendale Eagles Provincial Park and its surrounding mountains. Several scenes with Mel and Jack were also filmed here at the Squamish River.
However, the interior of the bar was recorded at the studios in Vancouver.

The 'Welcome to Virgin River' sign from the first episode was filmed on Pioneer Avenue in Agassiz.
This is a small town in British Columbia, about 60 miles east of Vancouver.

Great show, writing, directing, and acting! Fabulous beautiful views! Enjoying it so much here in old New England! Wish there really was a place like Jack's though we do have a few similar pubs and some with a pool! Always great eating places to hang out during storms! Thanks for sharing wonderful photos. Glad to hear another season is coming... bring it on!

We have been enjoying this series. The scenery matches Dunsmuir/Mt Shasta somewhat, so it's a good fake of North California.

The lakes that Jack and Mel visit - around the 35-minute mark in episode 1 and the 20-minute mark in episode 3 - where are they?
12- John - December 10, 2019 at 11:51 AM
The first episode - looks like the Squamish river (near where the Watershed Grill which fronts Jacks Bar is). The waterfall featured in a couple of scenes is nearby Shannon Falls in Squamish.

It seems like Virgin River may be loosely based on a small town in Humboldt County, where there are many gorgeous rivers like the Eel. Not only is the story supposed to be set in Northern CA but it also mentions Eureka and Miner’s Flat, perhaps like Myer’s Flat.
23- Nikkis Mom - January 10, 2020 at 12:11 PM
It also mentions Fortuna. I lived there for 14 years.
24- Big Charlie - November 28, 2020 at 10:54 AM
These locales are a joke, this is nothing like the Humboldt I know and to say it's around Eureka/Fortuna is even more of a joke. I live in Seattle and spend a lot of time in Eureka/Arcata where I have another home. The scenery looks just like what it is, BC. So many much real scenery in Humboldt it's a shame they didn't film there. Rea.

I lived near the log cabin and the man-made lake behind when I was a kid aged 8 to 12 in the 1960s. We played around there a lot as it was/is a beautiful place. The lake was stocked with trout and the caretaker let us throw feed to them. The area has lots of houses around and is very close to fairly dense residential. I guess it is on maybe five acres tho, so seems rural. I am happy to see it in this show as well as the other locations that I know quite well (Squamish area).

I really liked the series although being from Humboldt County, I didn't see the purpose to make the Story somewhere without Showing the Authentic Beauty of Humboldt County. Filmed in British Columbia, it would have been less distracting and more engaging to see it as BC. Especially when all those who know Humboldt are disappointed the area wasn't considered. Fictional towns in BC would suffice. Just sayin' And yes, most don't care, until your town is in a series and it's Not!

I watched seasons 1, 2, and 3. I hope there is a season 4! Season 3 really leaves you hanging. What if there is not a season 4, that is no way to end a show! I love it so much that I want to go there for a week. Is there a real Bed and Breakfast to stay at?

Does anyone know where the Moonlight Mingle was filmed? Love the barn!

Season 4 Episode 3. The Farmers Market where Preacher and Julia run into each other is Krause Berry Farms in Langley.

Thank you so much for this article. I had a feeling some of the locations were familiar to me as I was lucky enough to visit Vancouver 14 years ago. Loving the series and of course, the beautiful locations. Thank you!

What brand is that upholstered king-size bed in the last episode of season four? The bed where Jack and Mel are in after their engagement.

Hello, I would like to know where is the bar where Nate and Jack take a glass in episode 408.

The reason it is filmed in BC Canada, the greater Vancouver area, close to the Washington USA border, and not in northern Cali is because there are big film grants and tax breaks for filming here. And there are existing studios and a large population of film crew here.
We are known as Hollywood north. And at any time, you can walk down the street and either see a celeb or run into the filming of some sort. Last week I ran into four different productions going on within 25 miles. It is very affordable to film here in the greater Vancouver area, the temperature is always mild and tons of film crews are here to hire.
Sadly though, often our local actors are not up to LA par, but generally, main stars in larger productions are brought up from LA or New York, thankfully. You can tell the difference. As with Jack here. Far superior acting ability and experience to all other actors in this production. Not a dis, just the facts of our filming system here. Our studios are second to none as well.

I just love everything about Virgin River - I’ve watched all series four times, it’s my happy place.

The old cabin on the pond that Mel stays in the first night (I've just started watching today), is the same cabin Anne Heche's character lived in, in Men in Trees.

Where is the town they show in many of the opening scenes? It’s an aerial shot of a small town nestled beside a river.
I really liked the series although being from Humboldt County, I didn't see the purpose to make the Story somewhere without Showing the Authentic Beauty of Humboldt County. Filmed in British Columbia, it would have been less distracting and more engaging to see it as BC. Especially when all those who know Humboldt are disappointed the area wasn't considered. Fictional towns in BC would suffice. Just sayin' And yes, most don't care, until your town is in a series and it's Not!

In episode 1 of season 2, the cathedral-ceiling cafe Mel and Doc have lunch at is the Lynn Canyon Cafe, not the Ecology center, which is a totally different building.

Hello, Alex from the Netherlands here. I like this overview of locations. Season 3 was launched last Friday, July 10th. Isn't there someone who can create a Google Maps and share it here, to see where all the locations are? Keep up the good work and keep posting locations.

In episode 4, where Brie and Brady dance in the bar, the interior is filmed at a bar in North Vancouver called Sailor Hagar's!

Wrong info about the Suspension Bridge. In "New Beginnings" Mel is running across Lynn Valley Suspension Bridge in North Vancouver, which is even more spectacular and free to visit. But it's still closed.

Where is the restaurant Jack and Tony meet in season 3, episode 5?

Why is this an American production when it's almost completely filmed in Canada and almost all the actors are either Canadian or New Zealand?
49- I love Virgin River - Nov 3, 2021, 3:47 AM
Omg, I love this show so much! The writing is so good I'm glued to the tv watching every episode back to back! Please make more soon!! The entire town or towns where filmed are absolutely beautiful. I'd love to live in a place that beautiful with such amazing ppl! I wish there was a real Virgin River... minus Calvin and his thugs of course, lol
Can't wait for season 4! They always leave you wanting more. Wondering what's going to happen next, love it!!! Love all the cast too, they're just so amazing together it really makes the show great.
