    Description

    We are a family run, fly/boat in only floating fishing lodge near the mouth of Knight Inlet. The lodge, built in 1989, 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. For 2025 we are seeking an adventurous live-in carpenter (feel free to bring partner) who would like to live in our very remote floating wilderness cabins which are accessible only by boat or helicopter. Room and board will be provided, as well as about two days of work per week. Would suit someone looking for some quiet time in the wilderness. Carpentry skills and experience are a must. Work will include wooden deck maintenance, hanging doors, some finishing work and renovation on an old wooden greenhouse. Transportation at the lodge is by boat only, so some boating experience would be an asset.

    The community of Echo Bay is very small, only about 6 people live here year round. We have 3 bestselling authors among us, as well as a tiny volunteer-run museum on nearby Gilford Island. 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.

    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 13 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.
