Chy Tonn ('Wave House')

The Haida Nation requests visitors to be fully vaccinated before arriving on Haida Gwaii. This lovely cabin sits on two wooded, secluded beach-front acres in Naikun Park. The warm and cozy 600 sq ft modern off-grid home is made for days on the beach and quiet reflection. After swimming in the sea rinse yourself in the hot outside shower and then sweat in the wood fired sauna before checking your email or settling down to read by the wood burning stove. The cabin is built with locally sourced red and yellow cedar, has two covered decks- one with a picnic table and bbq, a well-equipped kitchen, two bedrooms with firm mattresses, wood-burning stove, wood-fired sauna, private hot outside shower and clean, composting outhouse. Guests will have exclusive access to the property including the cabin, sauna, outside shower, outhouse and woodshed. They will not have access to the utility shed behind the woodshed or storage shed at the front of the property. A property manager is available nearby if needed. We value our guests' privacy. Tow Hill is a funky, rural, beach based community which includes a bakery in a bus, hikes, river fishing (Sangan and Chown) in season, surfing and beach-combing. We are 16 kms from Masset, which has an airport with direct flights to Vancouver. The last 3.3 km of the highway to our property is unpaved. There is parking on the property. Please note the Haida Nation requests visitors to be fully vaccinated before arriving on Haida Gwaii. For further details please (Hidden by Airbnb) the Haida Gwaii pledge and follow the link to COVID protocols. We provide a private outside shower with hot water on demand, a private, clean, composting outhouse and wood fired sauna for your washing and toiletry needs. The cell signal is reasonably reliable (we run a computer based consulting company out of the cabin in the winter months) and we provide a WIFI hub with a large data plan for basic internet usage by guests. We do not provide flashlights. It is recommended to bring your own. We provide a 7'9" surfboard and a body board for guests to use. The best waves for experienced surfers are October to March with September and April being less consistent shoulder seasons. The waves from May to August are patchy and better for beginners and families. The beach is remote with no lifeguards. Members of the local community drive on the beach to harvest seafood and salvage wood.
