  Beschreibung

  We have 2 sons ages 25 and 19 living at home with us. We live in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. My husband and I are both teachers and our sons are in in university and working. We also have a dog, Levi who loves to go for walks and runs. We enjoy running, xc skiing, golfing and other sports and outdoor activities. Ottawa has lots of activities to enjoy such as skating on the canal (the largest outdoor skating rink in the world-7.8km), hiking in gatineau park close by which also has 200km of xc ski trails, several museums, parliament buildings, camping, many festivals and lots of snow to enjoy in the winter!

  Unterkunft

  We have a spare bedroom with a double bed, desk and wardrobe. Guests would share the upstairs bathroom with my my husband and I. We would cook and eat dinner with them most nights and would love to try their cooking once in a while. We usually all help ourselves to our own breakfasts and lunches. We have a pool in the summer time and have a hot tub. We live in a quiet neighborhood only about 15 min from downtown. We live near a bus stop with easy access to downtown Ottawa.
