Description
We have a 5 bedroom cottage on beautiful Weslemkoon Lake near Bancroft. Our cottage is situation on a 20km lake carved into the Canadian Shield that is 200 feet deep, we are in the heart of nature with loons, deer, elk, moose, bear and wild turkeys!
Both of us live downtown in Toronto where Patrick works as a banker and Emilia works has a Private School Teacher. We are both 41 years of age with no kids and 2 golden retrievers. Our cottage is our sanctuary where we escape from the city.
We are looking for help up at our cottage during the spring, summer and fall seasons. The type of work would include gardening, general yard work, organizing, painting, and small building projects.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
