About this property

Tin Poppy Cabin: Solar-Powered Off-Grid Forest Stay with Wi-Fi & Private Trails.

    Located 5 hours from Vancouver and Calgary, and 25 minutes from both Salmon Arm and Enderby.

    Tin Poppy is a unique off-grid glamping cabin nestled in the Larch Hills near Salmon Arm, BC. Solar-powered and one-of-a-kind, it blends retro-inspired design with modern comfort for unique stay in the heart of the Shuswap.
    A beautifully restored 1953 vintage mobile home, wrapped in a spacious modern screened-in building.

    The remote solar powered cabin has electricity, running water and wifi, and a gas fireplace for heating the mobile home portion of the cabin.
    Inside the structure you’ll find a powder room with a flushing toilet and sink, and just steps away is a private outdoor shower with hot water on demand, all towels and had soap is provided. Please bring other personal toiletries.

    Sleeping up to seven guests, the cabin features a queen-sized bed in the master bedroom, queen-size dinette bed, a single bed in the private mid-room, and a double futon in the screened-in space. All linens and duvets provided.

    There are three other cabins on the retreat, but each is spaced 5–10 minutes apart by foot, offering guests a sense of privacy while still being part of our nature retreat.

    Please note that the final 11 km to the property is along a well-maintained gravel and forest service road, adding to the cabin's peaceful, off-the-beaten-path setting.
