    Description

    Right now we are looking for help preparing our yard and gardens for fall. We have lot's to do- including gathering wood, putting away our pool and camper, clearing the garden and harvesting.

    You should probably have a car- but it's not a deal breaker if you are just here for a week or two.


    We will also be away for a week and need someone to watch the house then. If this is a fit for you let us know!

    Hi! Our family lives on a 3 acre property in rural BC right near Golden. We are Kristine and David, and two children Awnya (who has left for uni) and Remi. We moved into an old pub 9 years ago, and have been working very hard to convert it into a family home!

    Since we are located 13 kms from town, having your own car is best! We live by 5 national parks so the adventures are endless!

    Mountain biking, hiking, cold plunging, skiing, etc! We have it all.

    We like to go on adventures, from hiking to biking and swimming in the summer and skiing in the winter. The town of Golden is 14 km's away, it a thriving little mountain town. The town is known for its extreme sports - white water rafting, paragliding, mountain biking, downhill skilling, snowmobiling are all activities that people come here to enjoy . The community is very diverse, and people from all around the world are living here! The town is close to 5 national parks, including Banff National park which is very well know as a destination for people from around the world.
