    In my opinion, setting up an outdoor dining space is one of the best ways to create a staycation-worthy space. To ensure it'll last for years, outfit your outdoor dining space with good quality furniture that's built to withstand the elements. And if your yard has a great view, position your dining area to take best advantage of it (like this <em>Scott's Vacation House Rules </em><a href="https://www.hgtv.ca/shows/scotts-vacation-house-rules/photos/scott-mcgillivray-gives-a-family-cottage-a-luxe-muskoka-makeover-1939361/#currentSlide=7" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lakeside dining space</a>) — dinner with a view will never go out of style.
