  Description

  Are you looking to experience some of Canada's most stunning nature, living on an acreage with a wonderful family?
  
  We are excited to host a single person or couple on our acreage on the Sunshine Coast, BC, Canada.
  
  * We are looking for help doing some yard clean up and gardening anytime in June or July.
  * Construction and handyman skills would be a huge asset!
  * Help with cooking would also be wonderful!
  
  Just an 1.5 hour commute to downtown Vancouver, we are surrounded by beautiful hiking and mountain bike trails, beautiful beaches, where you can use our family's kayak and paddleboards! We also just live a 5 minute walk away from our local cidery which offers home brewed apple cider, kombucha and a whole menu of eats and treats!
  
  We also are in the process of selling our other vehicle so if you have a driver's license we can give you use of a car during your stay.
  
  We are a family of 4, Shannen, Jesse, Cillian (5) and Haydn (2).
