Cozy, cute rustic guest cabin with your own toilet, wood stove, bathhouse and a small kitchen where you can prepare your own breakfast & dinner with provided food. Lunch is at the house with the family usually incorporating farm fresh ingredients, dinner is usually in your cabin & sometimes with the family. This gives you the afternoon & evening to explore the area.
Algo más...
We are more than happy to pick helpers up at the bus station in Whistler which is 45 min away. Having your own vehicle would be nice ( but not mandatory) as there is no transit here. There is lots of hiking nearby, If the weather is nice we often go to nearby lakes for swimming and boating.

Chris and Tatum were wonderful helpers, that worked well both with us and unsupervised. They willingly hopped on the mowers and trimmers and did a great spring yard clean up.
