  Description

  Hello There!
  
  Currently looking for an individual farmstay for the month of April and an individual, 2 friends or couple for the month of May.
  
  We are Steven and Andrea, a couple in our late 30's, living in beautiful McBride, British Columbia. Our family consists of 5 dogs, 4 cats and 2 horses!
  
  Our home is quite new, and we are still developing the property. We are on the edge of town so an easy walking distance from the few small stores we have. The views are picture perfect, with Mountains on all sides. There are a lot of trails and outdoor activities available. There is no night life, so if it's a party you seek, we do not recommend this sleepy and friendly little town.
  
  The main task will be to care for the animals when I work long shifts and to house sit if we go away for a night or weekend. There are field clearing and seeding, fencing, building and gardening projects coming up. If you are willing to learn, and engaged, there is an opportunity to work with Steven as part his handyman company and learn or expand on your skill set.
  Write us and let us know what you are looking for!
  
  McBride is nestled between the Rocky Mountains and Cariboo Mountains, approximately 170km from Jasper Alberta and two hours southeast of Prince George BC.
  
  Both Steven and I work full-time, he works for our highway maintenance company, and also runs a handyman business locally. I work locally in law enforcement on a 5 day on 5 day off rotation.
  I am fluent in German and Steven can understand a lot, but is shy about speaking it. We both appreciate good food, home cooked meals and are more then happy to share the kitchen. Regular meals, that include meat and vegetables are served. If you are lactose free, gluten free and/ or egg free we can accommodate you. At this time we can NOT accommodate vegetarian or vegan diets.
  
  Your accommodations will be in the home with us, you have a private bedroom and a shared bathroom. We have Wifi set up (with a monthly data limit), but dont have TV other then Netflix/Prime.
  
  We DO NOT permit the consumption of ANY cannabis products or ANY illegal drugs anywhere on the property and are not comfortable with people under the influence. Outdoor smoking is fine as we are both smokers. If you enjoy a beer or beverage on occasion that is not a problem, as long as you don't get drunk and damage things.
  
  You MUST have travel insurance to stay with us. This is a rural live and sometimes an adventure can be a misadventure.
  
  You MUST have a work visa to stay with us.
  
  At this time we can NOT accommodate travelers with pets, as we already have a house full of love and pawprints.
  
  If you have any questions about upcoming projects or would like to introduce yourself give us a call, text or send an email! Please don't just send a generic message, tell us about yourself and why you'd like to stay in McBride and with us.
