    Description

    Our property close to town (6km) to downtown Golden, and we have been developing our 80 acres over the last 10 years. I have built 8 log cabins on our property that we rent out on airbnb. In the off season we use these cabins as accommodations for our workaway helpers. Workers will not be doing any work with our Airbnb cabins. We are looking for short term help around our personal house for projects like building Gardens, cold storage, water collection systems, and landscaping, and seasonal chores.
    I am also building another dovetail log cabin for workaway accomodation . so workaways with building experience could help with this.
    People with campervans are welcome also. We have some nice places you can set up.


    On your time off there are lots of activities close by to do, or just enjoy relaxing on our beautiful property
