Hello! Welcome to Belle Isle Acres! We are 1 mom, 2 older teens, 1 sweet dog, and 7 chickens!
-----
QUICK SUMMARY: We have a NEW OPENING this winter:) We are looking for a person who is interested in experiencing the winter Yukon lifestyle in comfort, and has a love of cooking and caring for animals. Primarily, we'd like help with meals (mostly dinner), spend time with our sweet dog, and feed the chickens and collect eggs. At times, if you're able, you could help stack firewood or some light snow shovelling... but otherwise, it is a pretty chill situation for the right person. We live in a rural setting that is DARK at night, so its great for star-gazing and viewing the northern lights!
----
Our home is located on 16 forested acres, has a beautiful view of the valley, is quiet, comfortable, spacious. Whitehorse, Haines Junction, Kusawa Lake, and Kluane National Park are within a 30-45 minute drive. Hiking, fishing, hunting, cross-country skiing, skating, canoeing, bird watching can all be enjoyed nearby depending on the season. Our local Community Centre hosts regular social and recreation events all year long, including weekly Yoga classes.
We've been hosting helpers, and travelling musicians since 2016 and every time has been a joy! (We took a break from hosting between 2018-2023). Often our first helper of the year decides to stay the whole season! Yes - it's a risk... you may love us and never want to leave!
A little about us:
Katanne is a funtional nutritionist, she has a consulting business and is working towards an B&B for people seeking respite from their hectic lives while healing their gut problems.
Katanne manages a health store in Whitehorse too, and her daughters both have part-time jobs as well.
We would suit a person who enjoys Nature, a quiet country life, eating/ living/thinking healthy, and likes the kitchen. If you have any painting, mechanical or carpentry skills, that would be an asset. My one daughter is a blooming mechanic and would love any learning opportunities if you have skills there!
We are an open, honest, direct family that values hard work, cooperation and integrity... though we are also easy-going and goof around a lot!
We enjoy learning from our travellers too. Do you have interests in art, music, language, gardening or other skills you'd like to share with us? We love to learn about other places. We are working on our Spanish, French, Ukrainian and Russian. Story-telling and joking around at our home is also strongly encouraged.... (though we love a quiet introverted person too.)
Guests can stay in our cozy and private wall-tent cabin (summer) or separate indoor guest suite (winter). We have all normal amenities including plumbing, electricity, laundry, etc. We don't have Wifi - like us, you would need your own cell phone plan but the speed and coverage is good here! We are flexible and supportive of your travel plans and can accommodate most dietary needs. Much of our food and medicine is organic or collected from the land, and we are happy to share healing knowledge and skills. We always have cold sparkly kombucha in our fridge!
We look forward to hearing from you.
PS We prefer helpers that can stay a minimum of 2 weeks when possible. Thank you.

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
Well, we hope to introduce you to the great wild Yukon from a comfortable, safe, and friendly location! We love to share stories and want to hear yours. We are also passionate about health and well-being through natural and sensible paths, and happy to be inspired by you, or to help you to become a healthier happier version of you.
Arbeit
The type of tasks we need help with vary. I am managing a health store in Whitehorse, and my daughters are at school or home. We can sometimes be away for 10 hours a day 3-5 days a week. Therefore, taking care of the animals, keeping the house tidy and helping with dinners are a priority.
There are lots of indoor and outdoor jobs to pick from depending on the season: garden tending, walking the dog, keeping the chickens fed and happy (we have baby chicks in June) and renovation projects.
If you enjoy being around healthy people, gardening, cooking, renovation/building projects, healing arts, hunting, foraging, caring for animals, and interacting with community, you'll likely enjoy your time here.

Was noch ...
We are travelers ourselves, so we are flexible and supportive of your travel goals and can recommend or even help you organize some great trips. We also accommodate most dietary needs. We collect our food and medicine from the land as much as possible and otherwise eat real foods. We're not keen on refined/processed snack foods, so bring your own if that is something you like to have.

We have recently got rid of our wi-fi in favour of using our cell phones (Bell). Connection is strong, dependable and speedy. While I can hotspot you at times, you would be better off with your own internet plan.

Sako is a mixed breed but all heart. Protective, smart and joyful... and pretty much the best cuddler you'll ever know

She has a beautiful garden, with a lot of different vegetables and berries for snacking. You can also pick every morning eggs for breakfast.
