    Description

    Hi, I'm Jeff, and I'm looking for a helping hand at my property in the stunning Cape Breton Highlands, nestled in Pleasant Bay. This unique opportunity offers a chance to experience the beauty of the island while contributing to a growing haven.

    Contribute to the development of a glamping site, assist with cottage maintenance, help with land clearing and landscaping, and assist with general property upkeep.

    Eagerness to learn and a strong work ethic are more important than prior experience.
    Benefits: Competitive pay at $15 per hour for 20 hours per week. Enjoy comfortable accommodations in either a glamping tent or an off-grid cottage. Off season is room and board option, you would stay in one of my rentalrooms.

    You'll have unparalleled access to breathtaking scenery, hiking trails, and the iconic Cabot Trail. I have a friendly dog named Molly who may join us on some adventures. I'm excited to connect with someone who shares my passion for this beautiful part of the world. Please reach out to me to learn more.
