Description
We are a family living in a beautiful village on the Ontario/Quebec border in Canada. We are an hour outside Montreal, and an hour south of Ottawa! Our home is a 25 acres hobby farm, with private woods, and fields. We have four adorable miniature horses, and three pet dogs! We would love to host you. Our home is a large bungalow. Our goal is to open up all the original trails through our forest. If a strong hand and enthusiasm for nature fits your profile, then consider letting us host you. If you want to learn about Canadian forest habitation and wildlife, trail cutting, and real Canadian country folk, then live with us for a few months! Maybe you’re an Eco student, or planning on working with animals, or studying to be an Outdoor Ed teacher ? This is a bilingual Francophone/ Anglophone neighbourhood, so ideally you would speak English or French.

Accommodation
We have a spare bedroom in the family home. It’s large, private and comfortable.
We eat meals together as a family so you’d be expected to help out at mealtime and after with clean up.
What else ...
We are close to both Montreal and Ottawa, both cities very accessible directly from our local train station, and both full of culture and history. We would figure out in advance what days of the week you’d like to have as free time. We have typical rural Wi-Fi so I wouldn't recommend spending time online. We have cable tv and several lounge rooms to relax in the evenings. We are private people, and like a quiet chilled home. This would suit a ‘go getter’ morning person!
