Description
Welcome to our home, situated on the shores of the beautiful Bay of Quinte! Only 10 minutes away from Belleville, our property has a direct access to the Bay. We have stand up paddleboards and a tandem kayak for you to use during your stay. We also have bicycles that can be used. We live on a sprawling 20 acres of land that also has peaceful forest paths for you to meander in.
We are a family of three (2 adults and one toddler), with two cat animal companions. Both adults work from home. Workawayers will stay in our guest apartment above the garage (2 bedroom apartment with a full kitchen).
We are looking for people who can help us with managing our land (mowing, gardening, mulching, trimming, weeding, watering, harvesting) and our house (cleaning), as well as occasional pet care if we are away. Hope to do projects with you soon!
