It’s easy to see why we’re the masters of space at Tin Poppy Retreat.

From Lavender House perched high above the Shuswap River, to the cozy quiet forest dwellings Violet Cabin and Wild Rose Cabin, to the retro space of Tin Poppy, there is a time and a space for everyone.

For something small, simple and breathtakingly beautiful, look no further than White Lake Cabins. Located on a hidden lake in the heart of the Shuswap, this is the perfect setting to ease back into adventure with your pals. Choose from one of four cabins and get ready to take in the great outdoors. Whether you want action or prefer to relax and soak in the autumn sun, no one will judge you here. Even better, there’s no wifi to connect to, only nature.

Savour your food with a side of space.  

While we might be a social bunch here in the Shuswap, we also appreciate our personal space! See what it’s like to sip your coffee or enjoy a bite to eat without the chaos and queues at these laid-back spots. First up, make a stop at Wild Oak Cafe. With its beautiful garden, patio space, comfy chairs and local artworks, it strikes the right balance between cozy, cool and airy. Plus, if you’re planning a day exploring our trails, there’s a bike rack outfront for your convenience. There’s plenty of options for lunch too. Check out Spinnaker Cafe in South Shuswap, Craig’s Bakery in Chase or keep it light at Smudge Whole Food Noshery. For a drink or two, enjoy the impressive space at Farmstrong Cider Company. Featuring long wooden tables and a pitched barn roof, it’s a great spot to unwind while maintaining social distance. 

Tip: To bond with your bubble at our many great restaurants, remember to call ahead to check with each establishment for operating times and new protocols.

Explore the big outdoors at your own pace.
