Family Vacation
It was definately a winter wonderland with many trails to explore. The hosts were fantastic when we had an issue with water,it was resolved quickly. The kitchen needed some cleaning but it had everything we needed. It was a great family vacation one that will be remembered for a long time.

Most memorable family vacation
We stayed at the Lavender Cabin for 8 nights and it was magical. Don’t let the off grid, switch back roads scare you, once you arrive it is your own little piece of heaven! Secluded in the forest, surrounded by grape vines, chipmunks, lizards and woodpeckers you can enjoy the best view around! The house itself is amazing - the largest dining room table around will fit the whole family! We enjoyed many of the games and books and finished the puzzle we started on day 1. Our favourite room was the sunroom where we would enjoy our morning coffee with the lavender smells and plan the day. Maggie and Jeremey very helpful throughout the stay. We truly enjoyed the off grid experience - if you are looking to get away from city life and connect with your family, this is for you! Thank you Tin Poppy xoxox!!!

Challenging yet lovely
The home is beautiful, clean and has all the amenities you need. All of the beds have quality and clean linens and Maggie was extremely responsive to our needs. As I’m sure anyone can appreciate, the last thing you need after a long day of travel is to get lost in the bush. Don’t try to find this place at night and don’t follow google maps and don’t let the term, “tin poppy resort” confuse you. I will say the directions should state to follow turn right and follow the L’Arche Hills Forest Service road, as per the current sign. Despite the location/way-finding, it is a beautiful home and we enjoyed our stay.

Off the Grid Fun
We had an amazing time at Lavender Cabin! It was really roomy and had a quirky layout that we really loved. The fireplace and downstairs wood burning stove kept us toasty warm and there was plenty of games and room to play instruments, so we had a few singalongs. The dogs were never underfoot and the kitchen was roomy enough for many cooks at one time. We were all able to get into the property without 4X4, but it was slippery and muddy, so that is definitely a good recommendation. All in all, a great family weekend for those who enjoy the outdoors.

Beautifull!
The property was clean and elegant. We were surprised at the distance up the mountain, but once we were there the views and quiet were well worth it. The beautiful details in the furniture and artwork gave the property a real charm.

Perfect paradise getaway
What a unique experience at this wintery paradise! Our expectations were high and the lavender cabin did not let us down. If you are so lucky to be able to experience this mountain oasis, embrace the chance. We will definitely be back to take in all that it has to offer in the different seasons
