Pet-Friendly Cabin for an Off-Grid Getaway near Salmon Arm, British Columbia
"This was the most wonderful and magical place. I recommend this cabin to anyone and everyone. What a magnificent stay :)"
Glampers staying at this pet-friendly cabin can look forward to a getaway of exploring Shuswap Lake, as well as forests and mountains. This off-grid rental has been beautifully decorated and is nestled in pine trees. Near the city of Salmon Arm, British Columbia, the cabin can accommodate up to five guests, perfect for either a family or a group of friends, as well as their four-legged friends.
There is a charming sleeping loft in the rental with a king-size bed. In the open plan living room, there is a double-size futon for added sleeping space, and all linens and towels are kindly provided by the host. The cozy living room is a lovely spot to relax in the evenings, and it leads to the fully-equipped kitchen. Despite there being no running water or electricity, the cabin has lighting, a fridge/freezer, an oven, and a stove that all run on propane. Additionally, ample drinking and cleaning water are provided.
Outside, there is an outhouse, adding a traditional aesthetic to the rental. There is also a barbecue and outdoor furniture. After a long day of exploring lakes, mountains, and forests, glampers can fire up the grill, cook up a mouthwatering meal, and indulge in some al fresco dining surrounded by stunning countryside.
This unique accommodation is a combination of a 32-foot, 1950s caravan and a spacious, screened-in post and beam structure, which account for about 1,200 square feet of space in total. It is also fully solar powered and comes with parking and heating.
This accommodation is also equipped with a lovely wood fired Finnish-style sauna. Due to it's remote location and challenge with year-round heating, the host shuts off the water to the trailer, shower and bathroom in the wintertime and the sauna and “scoop” shower provide the only bathing. This property offers a classy little outhouse.

Larch Hills in the winter is a cross country skiers paradise, with over 50 kilometers the host has track-set and over 100 kilometers that are not groomed. In the ski season, the tracks are groomed every day and they rotate through their central, north, and south trails doing at least one-third of the system each day. Near the chalet is the trails done sign on which the 'Tracksetter of the Day' will note the recent grooming. There is also a comment white board for anything unusual. If conditions are too difficult for the host's PB Edge, they will use their snowmobiles and pull-behind equipment.
