  Beschreibung

  We are a professional couple in our late 40s with two grown children, and elderly parents seeking assistance with our historical family cottage. The property is located halfway between Calgary and Banff, on the Ghost River. The guest cottage is a charming log trapper's cabin, just steps away from the river. The main house is a short walk away. We are set in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains with 1/2 mile of private river frontage. If you enjoy the outdoors then you will love our little slice of paradise.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  We offer a welcoming family environment where you will be invited into our home and community. You will have the chance to meet many of our friends and neighbors, as well as enjoy plenty of opportunities to explore the stunning Canadian Rockies. The beautiful setting of our cottage naturally attracts many visitors, ensuring there’s never a dull moment.
  
  Fly fishing, hiking, and exploring the property are just some of the activities you can enjoy here, or you can venture into Banff, Canmore, Cochrane or Calgary to discover even more attractions and experiences. My background is in architecture and construction, and I am deeply passionate about art and history, which often inspire enriching conversations and connections.

  Arbeit

  My mother has always tended to the gardens and flowers with great care, but she has recently experienced some health setbacks. We would greatly appreciate help in maintaining our extensive gardens, greenhouse, and flower beds.
  
  In early spring, this will involve cleaning out the flower beds, preparing the greenhouse, and other seasonal tasks. Throughout the summer months there will be weeding and watering as well as general brush cleanup.
  
  Additionally, we have several small carpentry projects planned for this year and would welcome assistance with those as well.
  
  Help with either gardening or carpentry would be greatly appreciated; both would be even better!
  
  For gardening, you would do tasks alongside or under the direction of my mother, likely picking up a few tips along the way, as she has an exceptional talent for all things green. The main tasks will include watering, weeding, and ensuring the bird feeders are kept full.
  
  For carpentry, we have several small projects lined up, and you would primarily assist me. Depending on your skill set and experience, you might also help independently on smaller projects at your own pace. Nothing is fast-paced, as this is a cottage, and any time spent here is meant to be enjoyed...even when 'work' is involved.

  Unterkunft

  A charming and historic one-room log trapper’s cabin. The washroom and shower are located in a separate building. The property includes a cedar barrel sauna, hot tub, high-speed Wi-Fi throughout, an outdoor covered summer kitchen with BBQ, a beautiful firepit area, and laundry facilities in the main house.
  
  Food and drinks will be provided. Some meals will be shared with our family, while others can be prepared independently, depending on our availability and schedules. This is our second home, so we may not always be there.
  
  Because this is our cottage, there will be times when we are not staying on the property for a day or two at a time and our Workaway guests will be left on their own. For this reason, we would prefer to host a pair of travelers or a couple. Individuals may be considered; however, you must be self-sufficient, comfortable entertaining themselves, and confident being alone in the wilderness and around local wildlife. When our family isn't there we will only task you with minimal duties of watering and weeding flower beds.
