A honey-toned log house standing among tall coastal spruce under a moody northern sky

Tlell · East coast of Haida Gwaii

A log house in the
dunes, warm inside.

A magnificent, comfortable two-storey log home nestled in rolling sand dunes beside Hecate Strait — seven guest rooms, a hearth to gather round, and a hearty breakfast made fresh each morning by your hostess, Cacilia.

Your hostess, Cacilia

A host's home,
not a hotel.

Cacilia Honisch has welcomed travellers into her log house in Tlell for years — the kind of place where guests share a big living room, swap beach finds over breakfast, and settle into the quiet rhythm of the island. German is spoken here, and everyone gets a warm welcome at the door.

The house is built for gathering: room enough for a family, a group of friends, or a small retreat, all under one honey-logged roof beside the sea.

The log house

Big timber, warm rooms.

Two storeys of honey-coloured logwood, a fireplace to gather round, and a whole house with room to spread out — the beach on one side, the spruce on the other.

The great room

A generous log-walled living room with a fireplace at its heart — space enough for a whole group to spread out with a book, a board game, or a plan for tomorrow’s beach walk.

Rooms under the rafters

Seven guest rooms in the big log house, four of them with a private bath, and a friendly, family feeling among guests. Simple, warm and quiet — the way a log house should be.

Retreats & gatherings

With space for groups of ten to fifteen, the house has long hosted workshops, seminars, retreats and small weddings — a whole log home to make your own for a few days.

Breakfast & the welcome

Something warm,
made each morning.

Cacilia cooks a hearty breakfast each morning using local produce — the good start you want before a long day on the beach or the river. Breakfast, lunch and dinner can all be arranged for guests, so you never have to go far.

Free parking, a big shared living room and a friendly, family feeling among guests — with the quiet of Tlell just outside the door.

The Tlell coast

Dunes, spruce & a slow river.

Nestled among the dunes and tall spruce on the east coast of Haida Gwaii, with the beach a short walk away and the Tlell River winding quietly to the sea.

The beach & the dunes

The house sits nestled in rolling sand dunes beside Hecate Strait — the beach is a short walk away through the marram grass, with driftwood, big skies and long, empty stretches to wander.

Tlell River & Naikoon

Tlell is a small arts community at the edge of Naikoon Provincial Park, where the slow Tlell River meanders to the sea past the old Pesuta shipwreck — spruce forest, river trails and studios, all close by.

Morning on Hecate Strait

This is the east coast of Haida Gwaii, so the light comes up over the water — coffee on the porch as the sun lifts over Hecate Strait, before the day opens onto the beach.

In Cacilia's own words

“Discover, experience and explore nature from this magnificent, affordable and comfortable beachfront log home.”
