We are looking for a house sitter to look after our 2 dogs, approximately 20 chickens, 3 barn cats and one goat and sheep. We are going away May 27-30, and the possibility of extending it until June 2nd if possible. But May are the days we really need to be away.
We decided to escape the city and follow our dream of starting a homestead farm a few years ago and have an amazing forested property on a very quiet gravel road, just 10 minutes from Enderby, 15 from Armstrong or 30 minutes to Salmon Arm or Vernon. We absolutely love our little oasis in the woods and are slowly working at turning it into a homestead farm.
We'd like someone who is interested in returning as we travel to see family on the coast every few months, but at this point we are looking for someone last minute as our house sitter as ours canceled last minute; so we'll happily welcome you even if this is the only time you can come!
We have a cozy 3 bedroom house with beautiful cedar walls and a vaulted ceiling, heated with a wood stove in the winter (with electric heat pump if needed) and AC for the summer. There is also an adorable rustic one room log cabin on the property, along with a guest bedroom and bathroom in the shop. We have a 50 x 50 foot garden, a smaller hugel kultur garden, about 12 fruit trees and various berries.
