  • Description

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    This is a great way to learn about off-grid living (solar, well, septic) in a fully modern and functioning home and also learn the practices of a (nearly) self-sustainable family that harvest and process their own food. The property sits on the cove of a lake and when the water is high, you can kayak/paddle board from the dock. Otherwise, the cove is low and makes for a good walk.

  • Help

    Help

    No current farmstay needs but happy to hear about you for future needs.

    We prefer nature-loving individuals who enjoy animals and will prioritize their daily needs. The dogs need exercise and ideally should not be left for more than 6 hours. The cats, birds and rabbits will need food and water daily which takes about 30 min in the morning and 15 min in the evening. Travellers must have a car/motorbike because although we are not far from stores, etc... there is no public transport or walkable paths.
