    Description

    Hello,
    My name is Caitlin. My mother, Heather, and I own a small acreage in Blewett, about 20 minutes west of Nelson. We have two cats, Wallie and Toby, and two dogs, Meeka and Stevie. I am currently in school in Vancouver, and am only in Nelson for a week every 2 months. Heather is here full time.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We live 20 minutes outside the small mountain town of Nelson, BC. There are lots of hiking and biking trails near by. Several local swimming holes within a ten minute drive. The town of Nelson has many interesting shops and delicious restaurants. We are long time Nelsonites, and would be happy to take workawayers on a tour of the area.

  • Help

    Help

    We are looking for gardening help as well as general help around the property including dismantling a small shed, putting new tin roofing on two small sleeper cabins, stacking firewood, and trail building. We prefer to have workawayers for shorter stays, 2-4 weeks. Cooking vegetarian meals and cleaning / organizing around the property would also be a great help.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Workawayers will have a bedroom on the main floor of the house as well as their own bathroom. Kitchen and living area is shared with Heather who's bedroom and bathroom are upstairs.

    We can purchase whatever groceries workawayers would like or alternatively they can purchase their own and we can reimburse them.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Our basement also serves as an bnb so advance notice is key so that we can block it off. Also, because we live outside of town and most of the local activities are a drive away, our house might be preferable for workawayers with a car, however there is a bus that goes into Nelson three times a day.
