Description
Our place is a small property on the Canadian prairies where farms and fields mix with forest. Your hosts are a middle aged couple involved in a handful of non profit volunteer groups and community interests.

We keep busy with gardening, yard projects, wood working, fishing and helping at the animal shelter.

This is a safe space to enjoy your time in a quiet and slow-paced environment. The dogs and cats keep you company and wildlife will show up on occasion to wander the trails.

The property is located 23 kms from town and has all basic amenities as well as internet access. Living arrangements include one small bedroom and full access to the kitchen, living room and a shared washroom/laundry room.

Any interested visitors can connect with us at any time.

Our hobby farm is home to handful of rescued dogs, two cats, and a family of Icelandic sheep.
