Our home

About 900sf, it’s up on a hill and the views are mostly cedar trees. One room is outside but protected from the elements. 3 bedroom, 1 bath, loads of carpets and antiques. I hope you get the relaxed vibe!

favoriteWhat we love about our area

The access to the park is the best feature. We walk there every morning, 95% off leash. About 3km around the lake. It’s an extremely quiet park and the people are lovely! 12 minute drive north, and 20 minutes south to all amenities. I live on a small mountain.

Izzy is a black lab cross, smart, mostly lazy (she’s 8) and she pulls on lead. Terrific off lead, comes when called. Will hang out with you!

About us

person Jan

I’m a retired artist and thus, one bedroom is my studio. Typically I'm shy until you get to know me and I keep a quiet profile. I’m well travelled.

Review

Jan is a kind person but for someone to sit at her home who’s Dutch it’s hard to get past the clutter throughout her mobile home. Her dog Izzy is sweet, but doesn’t understand heel so she tugs most of the time on her walks. Glad Jan had a nice holiday.
