So much so that we beach-combed logs, towed them to the mill, had them custom cut into boards which we then hand-sanded. Needing someplace to put them, we built some cabins in the dunes.
Using a generator we built, off-grid, no power cabins. Happily we are now solar powered. All cabins are updated with lights, plugs and small fridges. They still retain the charm of heating with wood stoves or, as in the tiny Octopus, gas. All have gas cooking facilities. A high quality cooler is provided for additional refrigeration if you need it. Bring ice. We live on the property which is designed to provide privacy, you may not see us but we are there should you need us.
Our goal is to provide comfort within a wild
setting. No cabin is visible from another, and all are within easy
walking distance via paths. It is low-footprint accommodation in a lush
rain forest environment with fresh ocean air. There is no wifi but you
will get cellphone reception on the beach, which is sandy and immense.
We have one white dog that may greet you upon your arrival. He is
desperate to fulfill his border collie nature and awe you with his
fetching abilities.
Changes everyday with the tide. Never know what’s gonna wash up.
There are razor clams and dungeness crab for harvesting depending on season and regulations.. We provide nets and waders on a share basis. The beach is sand, and perfectly safe for kids as there are no currents or riptides. Bring your wet suit and gear or check out the local surf shop North Beach Surf Shop. Because we are in the Pacific flyway for migrating birds, there are many species of shore and sea birds. Sitka deer are everywhere and bears inhabit the island but not the beaches. Beach fires can be made at the tide line from driftwood. Wonderful sunsets and long twilight are the rule as the sun drops into the ocean.
We’ve had a lot of fun, literally, building this business. It’s a world of it’s own. Come see for yourself and catch the Haida Gwaii vibe.
