Description
Beautiful little cabin or Airstream trailer to stay in. Cabin and my straw bale house are on almost one acre, on a little island right near Vancouver.
Opportunity to stay in the beautiful countryside, and visit the city or Whistler nearby.
Have been too busy keeping my two tiny restaurants from closing due to the pandemic, and some help around home / property would be amazing.
Myself & my 18 year old twins live on the property…plus Mango our orange tabby cat, and Bear our Bernese Mountain dog, who loves everyone & would like to go on nature walks with you. Forests here are just as pretty as you imagine, with nice streams & lakes.
My favourite thing to do after leaving school as a teenager was to live & work in other countries, learn languages & try to better understand other perspectives. Totally get it. Look forward to meet you. :)
