  Descripción

  Hi!
  We live in one of the prettiest areas of Southwestern Ontario on a large property just outside the town of Port Dover.
  With lots of gardens, a big house to take care of and little projects on the go, we always have something we need a hand with.
  If you work well independently, are handy around the house, and happy to entertain yourself, we hope to hear from you.

  Our home is located just outside the town of Port Dover.
  
  In the past Port Dover was the largest freshwater fishing fleet in the world. Over the years the fishing industry has slowed down and the town has since morphed into a charming little tourist town.
  
  We have an excellent live theatre, an interesting museum, lots of great restaurants, walking trails and a beach that draws people in from all over.
  
  Our area has also become the newest Ontario Wine Region and Norfolk County also boasts some great craft breweries.
