  Description

  We are a retired couple living in a big log home in between Whistler and Squamish in the Sea to Sky valley in a little residential community with a small lake and lots of access to hiking trails and forest. Our home is surrounded by gardens, growing both vegetables and flowers and herbs. Richard has a little woodworking shop where he is always busy with various projects, and Christy bakes bread for the farmers market. We are both passionate about food, working most of our lives in the restaurant industry, and we love cooking and hosting. We have lived in this home and community for over 40 years, so we know all the secret trails, and are happy to share our favourite local spots. In the fall, we love to go mushroom picking nearby.The towns of Whistler and Squamish are 30 minutes away and are worth exploring. The Sea to Sky corridor is a skiing, hiking , biking, swimming exploring paradise . If you enjoy the outdoors you will never be bored. We have really enjoyed our Workaway guests this summer. We are hard workers and will work along with you and at the end of the day share a meal and plenty of stories. Thank you Christy and Richard

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We are excited to host people from around the world and share our beautiful community with them. We have travelled quite a lot over the years and we love meeting people from different countries. We love sharing mountain culture, from showing travelers our favourite cross country ski trails to taking folks out for a canoe ride on the lake after dinner. We love sharing fresh food. And of course story telling sharing with our guests and learning about their experiences it’s a wonderful way to end the day.

  Help

  We are interested in hosting folks who are interested in helping in the gardens, stocking the woodshed, and general upkeep and tasks around the home. We are also working on fixing up some parts of our home, so it would be great if we could find someone interested in learning and helping with some basic woodworking. Most of these tasks we will be working alongside you, and we hope to share some of our knowledge and experience with whoever comes to stay.
