Crafted by hand with local wood on an island in the Salish Sea BC, Canada
Folk Huts | The bunkie's hip west coast sister.
Simple, flexible space
100% BC Wood
Glamping unit, remote hideaway, guest bedroom, Airbnb rental, studio, emergency housing, space for deep work. Everything you need, nothing you don't. Finish the interior as much or as little as you'd like.
We utilize hyper-local wood rather than importing processed lumber from Eastern Europe like all of our competitors. This adds value to BC Wood fibre and reduces our carbon footprint.
Go anywhere
Huts can be assembled on site, in hard to reach spots, without professionals in a weekend. Or we will help connect you to an installer.

​
ELLINGSEN WOODS is a 70-acre parcel of forest land owned by the Ellingsen Family on Cortes Island. Our sawmill, spa, and glamping ground are located on a portion of the property. The rest of the land is gorgeous second-growth forest and we are working to develop trails and moments in the woods for our guests to enjoy.
​
The Spa @ the Mill is an eco-tourism project we are experimenting with starting summer 2024. We will be launching softly this summer with the goal of raising the required funds to open the full glamping ground in the summer of 2025.
​
​FOLK HUTS are milled, processed and palletized entirely on Cortes Island with fibre sourced from within 20km of our facilities. Our operation is 100% circular. Our business model is sustainable, resistant to global market instability, community-focused, and exceptionally ecological. We are working towards our B Corp certification and once launched in 2025 will give 1% to the Planet.​
