  • Description

    Description

    We live on 5 acres of beautiful evergreen forest in Washington state. We are Natalie and Jamus, a couple in our 30s working on lots art, technology, music, and house projects. We have a big gentle dog named Woof! He is a big fluffy gentleman that loves all people.

    Point Roberts is a special little town that is only 45 minutes away from the Canadian city of Vancouver! Our town is a small peninsula surrounded by beaches where you can kayak, paddle board, and view wildlife (eagles, seals, whales). This is a small community of only 2000 people so it feels peaceful, quiet, rural and away from it all while still being 10 minutes to all the amenities of a city.
