Tow Hill Road · Naikoon Provincial Park · Haida Gwaii
Four hand-crafted, off-grid oceanfront cabins tucked between the rainforest and the dunes — wood stoves, propane showers, candle-quiet nights, and the North Pacific at your doorstep.
Wood heat · Hot showers · Pets welcome · 17 km from Masset · Winter rates from $105
A rare kind of quiet
The cabins sit on three acres inside Naikoon Provincial Park, on the northern beaches of Graham Island — mossy rainforest at their backs, an unbroken run of surf and sand out front. Each one was built by hand, and no two are alike.
Privately run since 2018 by Kevin — with his faithful sidekick Bella — they offer something between camping and home: warm, furnished, self-contained, and gloriously disconnected.

The cabins
Every cabin is private, furnished and self-contained, with its own drive-up parking, linens and towels included — and the beach a barefoot walk away.

Off-grid life
No hum of a fridge, no glow of a screen — just the stove ticking as it warms, rain on cedar shakes, and surf you can hear from bed. It isn't roughing it; it's glamping the island way. Here's the honest picture, so you can pack right.
Every cabin is warmed by wood — firewood included, kindling on the porch. The Aerie adds thermostat-controlled baseboard heat that holds its temperature around the clock.
Battery LED lights in three cabins; the Waldorf glows by propane lantern, propane included. Bring a headlamp for the outhouse path — and let your eyes learn the dark again.
Drinking water arrives in big refillable jugs from the village of Masset. A rain barrel feeds each kitchen sink with cold wash-water; warm it on the stove the old way.
The Aerie, Hilten and Waldorf have on-demand propane hot showers (they sit out sub-zero winter snaps). The Agate keeps it simple with a solar shower bag warmed on the deck.
No fridges out here — each cabin has an ice box, and the general stores in Masset sell ice. Fifteen minutes of planning buys you a week of fresh food.
There are no outlets, so bring a car charger or a charged power bank for your phone — or, better yet, let it die. Cell signal is spotty in the trees and near-certain on the beach.
Every cabin: private outhouse (the Aerie has its indoor bathroom), rain-barrel sink, cooler, LED or lantern light, linens & towels, and doorstep parking. Details from the owner's FAQ — pack lists confirmed when you book.
The beach
The tide rewrites the sand twice a day. Low water means clams, crab and agates; high water brings the surf back up the beach to meet you. Eagles patrol the tide line, and in winter the storms roll in close enough to feel in your chest — best watched from behind a wall of glass with the stove lit.

The basalt outcrop at the end of the road — over two million years old — with a boardwalk trail to the summit lookout and the wave-driven Blow Hole below. Agate Beach hides its namesakes in plain sight at your feet.

Naikoon Provincial Park protects 72,000 acres of rainforest and more than 120 kilometres of sandy beach — surf-cast for salmon, dig clams, pull crab, or walk for a day and meet nobody at all.

Follow the beach far enough northeast and it narrows to Rose Spit, a resting point for clouds of migratory birds — with a turn-of-the-century shipwreck slowly dissolving along the way.
Book a stay
Email with your dates, cabin of choice, party size and any pets — or just call. Kevin confirms availability and takes it from there. Guests rate these cabins 4.8–5.0 stars on Airbnb, and July fills fast.
Dogs and cats can come along for a one-time fee of $20–30. The park protects all wildlife, so leads on, paws off the furniture, and pack their bed and bowls.
With only a handful of cabins and a short high season, deposits are refunded on a sliding scale — from $50 + 5% (60+ days out) to $50 + 15% (under 30 days). If your cabin re-rents, it’s a flat $50. Travel insurance is a smart companion.
Seventeen kilometres east of Masset, pavement then hard-packed road. Every cabin has drive-up parking; the Waldorf’s approach favours AWD or 4x4 (vans are tricky) — a gear shuttle is offered at check-in if needed.
