Give us a hand on our equestrian property while exploring Calgary, western Canada

  Beschreibung

  Hello!
  We are a young-ish couple with no children. We have two very well behaved dogs, and several horses in a small breeding operation. We just moved to a small equestrian property 15 minutes north of Cochrane, 30 minutes north west of Calgary, 1 hour from Banff. The grounds are in rough shape from a massive gopher infestation and the fences need a lot of repair!
  There used to be a beautiful garden as well, but it is all grown over and needs weeding. There are also lots of opportunities to work with the horses if you are interested!
  I work in the city Monday-Thursday, my husband ranches on a separate property. On weekends we tend to be out doing activities with the horses.
  
  We have a large private room with its own bathroom available, and would prefer to host a couple or 2 friends, or perhaps even a family, because we are away at work most of the week and don’t want you to get lonely. We can also provide pick up/drop off at the airport, and you are welcome to catch a ride into Calgary with me when I commute to work, but renting your own car would be essential for road tripping to Banff or Jasper, exploring the mountains etc as we don’t have an extra vehicle to borrow.
  
  Our house is warm and inviting, with a very casual laid back atmosphere where you can come and go as you please, or join us on our many adventures to the mountains or the family ranch.
  From our house you have a beautiful view of the Rocky Mountains. The large 15 acre property is peaceful and private.
  
  We enjoy ranching, hunting, fishing, and everything outdoors. we are very involved with the Calgary Stampede, we raise cattle and breed/train/show Norwegian Fjord horses, and we love sharing our Western Canadian heritage. We would prefer non-vegetarian because we have a lot of beautiful organic meat from our own ranch and hunting/fishing adventures to share, but we are respectful of your choices and can make any accommodations!

  Unterkunft

  A large private room with a giant window, closet, and private bathroom.
  Meals are casual, we tend to cook at home often.
  Help yourself to breakfast, if there are special dietary requirements we can work around the groceries needed for that.
  Most dinners we have wild game or fish we harvested ourselves. Elk, bison, deer, walleye, salmon etc. or our family raised Alberta beef. Vegetarians may not be a suitable fit. :)
  
  Location & Logistics:
  We are located 15 minutes north of Cochrane, 30 minutes north west of Calgary, 1 hour from Banff. Although very close to Calgary, you are in rural Alberta and public transportation is very limited in our province. With good notice and communication, we may be able to give you a ride to Calgary, Cochrane or Canmore. But this is by no means a guarantee of transport. If you’re looking to regularly hangout in towns and cities, this may not be the place for you (unless you have a car, of course).
