Description
My husband and I are two seniors and a small dog living in a rural setting. We live on 6 acres in a beautiful valley with near by lakes, rivers, mountains and skiing. There are lots of hiking opportunities in our area. We have a self contained one bedroom suite with a full kitchen with its own entrance and patio for accommodation. The closest very small town is a 10 minute drive away and a larger centre is 20 minutes away. International drivers licence required. Could provide access to a vehicle for local use.
This work away would be best suited to outdoor adventurers and those who enjoy a quiet, rural life. There is very little night life but we have a lot to offer in our area for hiking, world class mountain biking, kayaking, paddle boarding, skiing, snowshoeing, swimming, and camping. We have a community farmers market and local festivals, theatre companies, and music, particularly in summer. Winter adventures available locally include a 45 minute drive to a world class ski resort, and 20 minute drive to excellent cross country Nordic skiing.
