Modern Escape, Canadian Made: Inside the Award-Winning Custom Shuswap Park Model Cabin
When it comes to redefining the recreational cabin experience, the Custom Shuswap Park Model stands in a class of its own. Award-winning and proudly rooted in Canadian craftsmanship, this versatile cabin proves that a small footprint can still offer big lifestyle impact—especially when thoughtful design, sustainability, and style all come standard.
Blending the spirit of a cozy retreat with the sophistication of modern design, this park model is made for families, friend groups, and weekend wanderers who want a getaway that works as beautifully as it looks.
At the heart of the Custom Shuswap is a floorplan that understands how people live—and more importantly, how they unwind. The spacious kitchen and living area are ideal for hosting, sharing meals, and making memories, while the covered deck with a gas fire pit extends the living space into the outdoors, perfect for evening chats under the stars or morning coffee with a view.
The king-sized bed in the primary bedroom offers hotel-level comfort, while the custom-built double bunk frames in the second bedroom easily accommodate guests or kids, ensuring that the cabin can comfortably host groups without sacrificing style or function.
Built to thrive in Canada’s diverse climate, this cabin is more than just beautiful—it’s brilliantly engineered for year-round comfort. A Navien On-Demand Gas hot water tank delivers instant hot water with energy-saving efficiency, while a Hisense heat pump system featuring three wall-mounted cassettes ensures consistent heating and cooling, tailored to every season.
Durability meets design in this park model’s impressive materials and finishes. The exterior features a smart combination of metal board and batten, standing seam metal cladding, and cement fiber shakes, all topped with a standing seam metal roof that resists harsh weather and offers fire protection—because a great cabin should offer peace of mind along with peace and quiet.
Inside, the aesthetic is modern-rustic with refined touches. Black door hardware and fixtures add contemporary flair, while quartz countertops throughout offer beauty and resilience. 8-foot exterior doors create an impressive entry, and a tongue-and-groove stained pine ceiling adds warmth and charm to every room.
The wood-grain aluminum soffit outside adds a subtle sophistication, and a unique window package ensures every room is filled with natural light and sweeping views. Vinyl click flooring throughout makes cleaning a breeze while maintaining a sleek, cohesive look.
In shared spaces, privacy matters. That’s why the Custom Shuswap features acoustically insulated partition walls, designed to minimize noise transfer and create a peaceful, private atmosphere for every guest—whether they’re unwinding with a book or enjoying a well-earned afternoon nap.
Beyond style and comfort, this cabin is a nod to sustainability and Canadian values. From its energy-efficient systems to its locally sourced craftsmanship, every element is selected with intention. It’s a recreational space that respects the environment while supporting Canadian industry—a meaningful choice for today’s conscientious buyer. Built to combine adventure with aesthetics, relaxation with resilience—this is one retreat that truly feels like home.
