    Description

    Hi, we are Steve and Emily, and we run a fantastic Bed and Breakfast in Williams Lake, located in the heart of the spectacular Cariboo region of British Columbia. Our scenic 27 acre (11 hectare) property is privately located just 10 minutes from downtown Williams Lake. We are an active couple, enjoying the outdoors and our friendly family of horses, barn cats and three Australian Shepherds.

    We are looking for someone active, animal friendly and eager to help us out with a variety of projects and chores. We would prefer someone that wanted to stay more than just a few weeks. And with so many attractions and outdoor adventures at our doorstep, Williams Lake is a perfect place to spend some quality time.
