Description
We are a family of 5 people with 3 kids(13, 11, 9), 1 dog, 1 cat, 4 goats, and 12 chickens. We are located 20 minutes west of the town of Golden, BC.
Our house is located between Yoho National Park and Glacier National Park in Canada. Kootenay National Park and Banff National Park are also about 1-2 hours drive distance.
There are a lot of hiking trails in this area, and also downhill biking on the Kicking Horse ski hill during the summer. Many cross-country bike trails are also around.
Our acreage has a small greenhouse and garden with an amazing mountain view in a very quiet area. There are lots of wildlife in this area, such as Elk, Deer, Coyote, Wolf, Bear, and so on. It is highly recommended to have your own car to explore this area. There are trails around our house to walk/run, or bike. It is about 10 minutes to access the riverside from our house by walking.
We are planning to build a guest cabin on our land this spring or summer. We are looking for some help with the cabin construction, general labour, such as animal care, gardening help, and house and acreage cleaning. Our animals are very friendly and easy to take care of.
We would like to have someone who is very easygoing, likes working outside, and being in nature. We eat a lot of Asian food at home.
I'm sorry, but definitely a non-smoker, please.
