Description
Hi! We (Saskia and Emmett) are excited to welcome someone wanting to explore this beautiful gulf island while helping us out around the house, including with our two kids Daphne (6) and Marlon (3).
Our property is located in the heart of Gabriola Island, within walking distance of the ferry and village, yet surrounded by tranquil wilderness. We also have a geriatric dog and a flock of chickens that need daily attention.
We would love to open our home to someone interested in immersing themselves in our vibrant and creative community.
