I’m a schoolteacher and love learning in general! My 3 kids also love new people and learning from them about their culture and heritage!
Accommodation
There is a spare bedroom in the lower level of the home with shared laundry and your own private full bathroom. The home is 4100sqft and my children and I live mostly upstairs. I only go down to do laundry and access storage areas. The laundry is located on the other side of the spare bedroom wall. Laundry can be done at scheduled times so as to respect privacy.
The lower level is also the same level as the sauna and indoor pool room which has for now been covered with an inlay floor and can be used as a games court for hockey or exercise.
Parking is outside and can be covered if a cover or carport was built.
My dreams are endless for my home and I’m open to ideas that will improve both your stay and the property.
What else ...
We live in nature and with wildlife. We are country and hardworking with access to city people amenities like Walmart and Canadian Tire. We live close to the land and take care of it. We are Spiritual and take pride in our surroundings and local community. We are not a big city and we like it that way.

Can host families
Can host digital nomads
I have perfectly fine working wifi. To use in your room on the lower level of the house I might need a house booster but Shaw can come install one for me if I call their customer service number. Wifi works on the main/kitchen level and family room however for focus and privacy you’d be best to use it in your room. There is a custom built in desk and storage unit in the room so it works perfect as an office/bedroom.
Space for parking camper vans
