    Description

    Hi

    We are a family of 5 , one baby (turning 1 in August) 2 beautiful dogs and us Josh and Adele.

    We live in a small town in North California. We are less than a mile from town. Our land is big and so is our house.

    We might need some help house sitting and dogs sitting. Plants watering and do some little chores around the property or the house but only when we're here. We have many different cabins. One of them is for you. You'll have your privacy and independence if you decide to come here.

    My husband is a local and I am from France. I have myself been traveling and worked as a volunteer and did lots of volunteering. We're open minded and easygoing.

    If you want to take a rest in the beautiful countryside of Northern California feel free to reach out to us! 420 friendly

    He also is a great musician and we love sharing a drink around the fire pit with a little music!

    We are a dual citizenship family, so you'll learn either about American culture or french culture. Also I am a great cook and will gladly share my cooking secrets with you.

    We are also super into natural health and are passionate about it. Always happy to share.

    And your cabin and your space are very peaceful it'll be a great environment to be creative or just rest.

    We are big on communication and think a clear communication can avoid many drama. So if something doesn't work the way it is we love to be able to talk in order to improve it for everyone 's sake. So feel free to do the same with us! We appreciate a person that knows how to use their words!
