Description
We are a family of 4, we have a art loving 10 year old girl and a happy 7 year old boy. Ezra Moss and Amira-May. We live 10 km north of Skidegate in a small home right across from a beautiful beach. Haida Gwaii is known popularly as the “edge of the world” and is 100 mile offshore, on the northwest tip of Canada. The beaches here are endless and on a sunny day a hike up Sleeping Beauty gives you a wild view of both the east coast all the way to rose spit and over the rugged mountain range to the west coast. My husband and I work in silviculture in the the forestry and logging sector with ever changing schedules.
I like soccer, my ducks, he likes his chainsaw, we all like surfing and hanging out st home by the fire.

Accommodation
We are in a spacious( but not fancy) three bedroom home with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 living rooms. We take up the upstairs but the downstairs ( minus 1 bedroom) would be all yours; your own bedroom bathroom and living room.
