Descripción

We are a couple living on a float near the mouth of Knight Inlet. We live in a float house which sits on a cedar raft and is tied to the shore of Baker Island. Land access is by boat only so land outings are limited. We try to grow as much of our kitchen herbs as we can, as well as chard, lettuce, kale and anything else that will grow well in this climate. The garden is all in wooden boxes on the floats. We have five chickens who keep us in eggs, as well as a black Labrador. We also have cabins located in a nearby inlet, which are very remote. We are seeking a couple with carpentry and/or painting skills to live in one of our self contained wood heated floating cabins for a minimum of two months and working a few hours per day on the cabins.

The community of Echo Bay is very small, only about 6 people live here year round. There are sometimes killer whales, humpbacks and dolphins in the area, as well as many other sea mammals. Salmon is often on the menu in the spring/summer months. You will have access to a kayak for outings away from the lodge.

Inglés: Fluido
Alojamiento

We have two wood heated float houses which each comfortably sleep two. There is a shared kitchen in each cabin.
Algo más...

We are off the grid, most of our operation is solar powered, but we do run a generator to keep up if it's not sunny or if our demand is high. All houses are heated with wood, so you'll need to know how to start a fire. We have enjoyed having volunteer helpers for about 15 years now. The nearest town is Port McNeill, 27 miles by boat. For this reason long stays are better, as we don't travel back and forth too often and it's always weather dependent. This position is best suited to a couple or two friends due to safety reasons, we are very remote.

Shellie is a delight. Very hardworking, attentive to details and eager to complete each task to a very high standard. She is an excellent worker and will tackle any job, always with a good attitude. She is very humble despite having a broad skillset, from help with social media to animal care to deep cleaning, and yet she is always open to … read more

A Dream Job in Nature's Paradise! Working at this remote fishing lodge has been one of the most rewarding and memorable experiences of my life. The location and wildlife are amazing, surrounded by pristine waters, forests, mountains, and numerous animals. Waking up here everyday and stepping outside of a floating house to an incredible view never … read more

A floating paradise full of wonderful people! My experience at the lodge was incredibly beautiful at all times, from the first second I arrived they made me feel part of the family and treated me with all the warmth, respect, and beautiful energy that represents them. It is a small family business where each of the members puts the best of … read more themselves and work hard to provide the guest with a perfect experience. Hanna, in addition to being an excellent cook and being in charge of all the details, is also an extraordinary person, sensitive, fun, cultured, and very dedicated to her work, who always treats me wonderfully, concerned that I feel comfortable and happy to be there. Chris, her husband and the one who built the lodge with his own hands with great effort for many years, is in charge of taking the guests on the excursions and in the moments that I had the pleasure of spending time with him it was always with the best treatment, listening to their great anecdotes, and with a constant big smile. There is also Robin, the little boss, who at only 18 years old worked hard every day while studying, always worried about all the details, doing all her tasks excellently, demonstrating great intelligence and responsibility. The rest of the team is made up of All and Geoff for the excursions, and Carl and Rachael in maintenance, with whom it was a pleasure to share tasks and always treated me excellent. Last, and not least, is the soul of the place: Isla, or Aila as they call her, for me she was the Gordita, a black Labrador dog who is always happy, welcoming the guests and each one of us with the greatest enthusiasm and affection, I fell madly in love with her. The place is a beautiful floating paradise far from civilization, where in addition to wonderful people you will also find a lot of peace and the possibility of activities such as kayaking, swimming, listening to music or making it (there is a beautiful piano in the room), enjoying the sauna and things like that, but if what you are looking for is to party or go out after hours to meet more people then it is not the right place since it is difficult to access. I stay in a lovely private cabin and eat everyday like a king the amazing food that Hanna cooks for the guests and for everybody on the team. I leave very happy and grateful to had the privilege, honor, and great pleasure of living this experience and meeting such quality of human beings who are a great example of life. I hope to return soon, and a thousand times more, I would even travel to Canada just for that. Thank you very much, especially to Hanna, for all this and much more. I wish you nothing but the best and I send you a big hug!

We loved having Juan stay with us! He is a kind-hearted, trustworthy and social person with a great sense of humour. He works well with people of all ages, personalities and backgrounds. He arrived during a very chaotic and busy time of our season but was not fazed, and right away he began helping us with the tasks at hand, carefully considering … read more
