Violet Cabin offers a unique and charming getaway experience, despite the lack of modern amenities like electricity and running water. Instead, the cabin provides a cozy and glamorous atmosphere, with modern propane lights and appliances and clean water provided for guests' comfort.
Nature bathing, birding, trail running, saunaing in your own private woodland spa, nature at your doorstep.
This private cabin in the wood is equipped with modern propane lights and appliances, a king sized bed with cozy duvets and cotton sheets, wood fireplace, private sauna + sauna robes and kilometres of onsite trails to explore.
The cabin offers a private sauna, a perfect way to relax and unwind after a day of exploring the outdoors. Note that there is a small fee for sauna usage $30 and campfire wood $20.
**During fire bans in the summer months the sauna may not be available**
With the Larch Hills Nordic ski trails just 10 minutes away, you can easily access world-class trails and then unwind in the cozy sauna, surrounded by nature. The proximity to Salmon Arm and Enderby also offers plenty of opportunities for exploration and dining.
