  Description

  We are a family of 6 (plus dog) looking for some help on a variety of projects and general help around the house.
  We have recently built our off-grid house on a clifftop in the rural and beautiful setting of South Frontenac. The property is located about 40 minutes north of Kingston, 2 1/2 hours from Toronto, 3 hours from Montreal and 7 hours from New York City. Nestled in the beautiful “land of lakes” region of Ontario, travellers would have access to a plethora of lakes and outdoor adventure activities such as canoeing, hiking, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, cycling and camping.
  Tristan is an artist and designer and owns a carpentry and building business. He works from a studio in downtown Kingston and is in the process of building a new off-grid studio on the property. Lia owns a family run restaurant and catering business in the nearby village of Sydenham, as well as a family run organic farm located a short walk away from the property. We recently had our twin boys and both our tasks around our house and property AND our response rate has taken a hit.
  
  Our house is a work in progress with many ongoing/upcoming projects to complete., and we are finding ourselves so busy that our house projects are getting left behind. We are looking for help on some general housekeeping, building projects, landscaping and general maintenance on and around our property. We are flexible with schedules and are open to individuals' interests and strengths.
  Our place is spacious and welcoming with some amazing views. We have private bedrooms for travellers, as well as over 300 acres for camping and exploring.

  Autres infos...

  This is a rural setting and travellers staying here should be prepared as such. There are often rides to and from the city of Kingston but individuals staying with us would be best suited if looking to spend time in nature and the country. We would be looking for approximately 5 hours per day/5 days per week of work, but we would be open to schedule accommodation and flexibility.
