    Description

    Hi!
    We’re a small family of three living off-grid on a 5-acre property, surrounded by wilderness, 30 km from the beautiful village of Atlin, BC, and just 20 km from the Yukon border.

    We love hiking, canoeing, climbing, and spending time outdoors. We’re lucky to live in an incredibly beautiful, wild part of the world, and we genuinely enjoy sharing it with people who are curious, respectful, and excited about this kind of lifestyle.

    If you’re looking for a hands-on, off-grid experience in northern BC/Yukon wilderness, we’d love to hear from you!
