Accommodation
Workaway's will be accommodated in either a spacious 26 ft Travel Trailer or a wood log cabin depending on availability. Both lodgings are fully equipped to cook your own meals with a fully equipped kitchenette. We will supply you with some ingredients for you to make your own meals. Grocery items such as eggs and bread would be supplied for breakfast. We also will provide locally raised meat and items from the garden for you to prepare into nutritious meals.
Our off grid homestead is powered by a solar panels which powers a small battery bank which gives you lights, and runs the water pump. This system can not accommodate AC powered appliances. All our cabins run off DC power. No plugging in CPAP machines, computers, rice cookers, flat irons or any AC powered electronic devices. Simple life. Simple living. This is where we teach you how to do things without the power Grid. There will be limited Wifi access.
Pictures and full description of off grid housing will be completely disclosed and explained to guests PRIOR to arrival.
What else ...
Workaways can spend time visiting the Grand Canyon of the Stikine in their spare time. There are plenty of lakes and rivers in and around the area for individuals who like to paddle or fish. We are abundant in wildlife as we are situated in a Northern Boreal Forest. If your looking to see your first moose or black bear we are definitely in the prime area to bump into something. This is a perfect location for a digital detox and full emersion into forest bathing. This spot is quiet, peaceful and serene. It is a place to slow down and become one with mother nature. This is a remote location so if your looking for lots of touristy attractions this is not your place.
