I stayed for 10 days just after coming off of a summer season and was travelling east. I arrived in mid fall and it is absolutely stunning! The property itself is gorgeous, right on the lake where I got to stay in a cozy little bunkie listening to the waves at night. I worked in the kitchen/serving when the B&B was open and did odd jobs outdoors

Desmond is 100% committed to this resort. His smile is so pure whenever he can satisfy a guest. Working with him was such a pleasure because he cares about you as much as about his guests.

This was my first Workaway experience ever and I felt like I’ve got the jackpot!
