I stayed for 10 days just after coming off of a summer season and was travelling east. I arrived in mid fall and it is absolutely stunning! The property itself is gorgeous, right on the lake where I got to stay in a cozy little bunkie listening to the waves at night. I worked in the kitchen/serving when the B&B was open and did odd jobs outdoors… read more

This was my first Workaway experience ever and I felt like I’ve got the jackpot! Desmond is such a nice host, he really made sure we saw a lot of the area and showed us local coffee shops, a little town nearby and even went hiking with us! I really really enjoyed my stay here, had a wonderful time there and learn a lot about Canada! Thanks again!
