Detalhes

Descrição
I have a couple rental huts located in Retallack, BC with good access nearby to hiking, mountainbiking, ski-touring, xcountry skiing, snowshoeing. I host Workawayers to help with property maintenance, firewood & snow removal.

I`m also building a "woodchip clay" cabin for myself in the town of Kaslo & also need help with that sometimes.
I have a lovely husky dog that loves going for walks and bike rides with workawayers.

Dear Cindy
Thank you so much for the exceptional experience we had at Retallack. We learned so much and enjoyed every snowy day! We enjoyed your company and how you teached us how to survive in the Canadian mountains ;-) and offcourse having Abby around made it really enjoyable! We hope to see you two back once more!!

Had a nice time at Hazel hut with Cindy, her dog Abby and 2 other helpers, we did a few maintenance jobs, were removing snow from driveway and making fire wood, otherwise we were going touring in the amazing backcountry around.
The hut is off grid: water comes from a well outside, so you have to boil it before drinking it or for dishwashing, oven… read more

This is the place that you want to be if you “TRULY” want to experience the outdoors in the Kootenays.
We all talk about being more responsible but few of us walk the walk. This is where you will enjoy an outdoor paradise and might have to be “outside your comfort zone” while being Eco-Sustainable and living “somewhat” OFFGRID. I have never… read more

It was a pleasure to host Marissa, she is a very pleasant and helpful lady. She looked after my place and my dog while I was away and she was very reliable and clean. She also worked on my cabins with me during a very cold time in dec and had a great attitude despite the cold weather, she was a very good worker. I hope she will come back to… read more

I enjoyed the the work and the ski touring trips chasing the powder.
This was the best what could happen to me, to explore the amazing kootenay area.
Wish I could come back one day.

We spent great 3 weeks @ cindys place. The first couple days it might be a little hard to get used to the basic life out in a "village" with no power and running water, especially in the cold winter. But once you get the oven fired up and the cabin worms up a bit it gets nice and cozy in there. Whenever there was good snow and time Cindy took as… read more

This was our first workaway experience and we loved it, if you really want to have the off the grid feeling go for it we would say, Cindy is a nice girl if you get to know her, you can learn a lot from her and her friends and neighbors are great people as well. The area has amazing views to explore as well.
Thank you Cindy!
