Descrição
//I get lots of messages on here, I’ll do my best to get back to you//
Carpentry & landscaping , while boats and atvs become way of life
My outdoor adventure property is situated on 150 acres of riverfront land in Muskoka, Ontario. There is over 2km of private riverfront, and two waterfalls. I guide adventure tours at the land, and produce maple syrup. However, my main business is excavating & landscaping for cottages on nearby lakes. Pay is $17/hr. Will pay $20-25/hr for experienced skilled trades. 25-40 hours per week, 6 days a week.
This summer/fall workaway adventure, when I plan to host about 2-3 workawayers out at a time, will take place in September and October . You will be staying in a canvas tent with a wood stove (possibly with other guests- will keep girls/guys separate), some guests may get a private cabin. There are outhouses and an outdoor shower. We often venture into town to the community centre (gym, basketball court, squash court), to play sports, get groceries etc. Guests should have experience in the outdoors, have appropriate attire etc.
The work will consist of renovating a house that I just bought across the river from the big adventure property. Light carpentry, landscaping, odd jobs, etc. We will also occasionally work off site at cottage properties doing landscaping work such as planting, mulching, installing river rock, property maintenance, cleaning etc.
I have done lots of backpacking and travelling myself, and know what type of experience guests are looking for. I take guests out into the community to meet some locals, do local hikes and lots of other recreational activities, see tourist spots in the area, and possibly up for bigger trips like a few night backcountry canoe /camping trip in central or northern Ontario. A truly Canadian experience.

Our small town is 350 people. We have a brewery, small town pub, restaurants, cafe, general store etc. About 15 minutes away there two other towns of 15,000 people for more shopping/outings etc. Muskoka is known for cottaging, camps, tourism and beautiful nature. A big part of this stay is about living on the land for most of your visit. Runs to town for food will be arranged every few days if you don’t have a vehicle. Best for outdoor adventurers!
