Hollywood shockwave: Virgin River star Martin Henderson caught having an affair? md20

Another season of Virgin River means another season of breathtaking views.

The Netflix series, which is based on Robyn Carr’s bestselling novels of the same name, stars Alexandra Breckenridge as Melinda “Mel” Monroe, a former nurse who leaves the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles for a small town, Virgin River, in Northern California.

Along the way, she meets local bar owner Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson), and they quickly find themselves in a whirlwind romance. Although the show centers around the picturesque setting of Virgin River, the town itself is fictional.

Virgin River, which dropped its seventh season on Netflix on March 12, is primarily filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, and near the adjacent mountain regions. As viewers know, the stunning backdrop acts as its own major character.

“It’s about beautiful people in troubled circumstances in beautiful locations,” location manager and scout W. Robert “Fluffy” Millar told Tudum in March 2026. “I’m always trying to one-up each episode, always trying to find a prettier, more stunning vista, or another easily accessible, dense forest, and it’s quite a blessing to be doing a show like this in British Columbia.”

Here’s everything to know about where Virgin River is filmed.

Jack’s Bar

Jack’s bar is a prominent fixture on the show. Though many of the interior shots were actually filmed in-studio, many of its exterior shots were filmed at Watershed Grill in Brackendale. As shown on the restaurant’s Instagram, there are plenty of benches for sitting outdoors so you can enjoy the beautiful views of the river.

“Jack’s Bar is at this great little restaurant on the river in Squamish called the Watershed Grill,” Millar confirmed to Tudum. “It’s always been popular. It’s a great destination — it’s near the largest concentration of bald eagles in the world, where they come to eat and feed and mate. And we always just shoot the exterior on the dike by the river at Jack’s Bar.”

He added, “And the thing that I always find so funny is when you look at it from the river, when you see the drone shots of Jack’s Bar or the establishing shots, you can’t see too many trees, as if you’re looking toward the back of the bar and it looks kind of narrow.”

However, Millar clarified that the interior of the bar is shot on a soundstage.

Vernon Mullins’ Family Practice Clinic

Interestingly enough, Mel’s place of work is actually a stunning Victorian home located on First Street in New Westminster.

Built in 1889, the Queen Anne-style mansion was previously featured on several other shows including Supernatural, per a previous listing on Daily Hive.

Mel’s Cabin

Mel’s home might be one of the coziest-looking places in the series with its wood detailing and charming fireplace. In real life, the cabin is actually the home of the caretaker of Murdo Frazer Park, located in North Vancouver.

If the exterior shots look familiar, it’s probably because you’ve seen the home on shows such as Psych, The Flash and Once Upon a Time.

Paige’s Bakeaway Truck

Though you can’t get any goodies from Paige’s Bakeaway food truck, you can visit many of the places it was stationed at during the series. Many scenes featuring the food truck were filmed at Burnaby Fraser Foreshore Park and Deer Lake Park, per Destination Vancouver.

Hope McCrea’s House

The mayor’s home is actually a historic residence located at Deer Lake Drive, Burnaby.

The bungalow, nicknamed the Edgar Residence, was originally built in 1912 and is “important for its connection with Robert McBeth Edgar, a successful and wealthy businessman whose “contribution to Burnaby and British Columbia was far-reaching and significant,” per Canada’s Historic Places website.
