| Looking for a comfortable, spacious room in an inclusive, open-minded household? Willing/able to do a little labour in exchange/partial exchange for rent??? Welcome to our strictly non-smoking, partially vegetarian, private homestead about a half hour north-east of Ch'town, a short distance from the village of Morell. I need a screened-in gazebo (floor is already done) built out of reclaimed materials if possible -- I have a window and a door that could be used, and some wood... but you would need to supply additional wood, high quality screening, power tools and also the labour! ABOUT THE SPACE: Large, 14 x 28 foot open concept with LOTS of windows. Furnished with a pull out couch, table and chairs and a few other pieces. Deck overlooking back field. Lots of comfortable outdoor furniture, including hammocks. Your room is accessed by an external staircase, providing some privacy. Your room includes a washroom and sink, as well as a wood-burning stove. Electricity and wifi also provided. You would need to provide your own bedding and towels. If you want to purchase a small fridge and a microwave for your room, that would be fine. Shared kitchen and shower downstairs, or create your own private outdoor kitchen using one of our outdoor shelters. There are also three firepits on the property that you can use. ABOUT THE PROPERTY: Our property comprises nearly 3 acres of partially treed land, and is a short walk/bike ride to the beach and local lighthouse, one of the oldest on PEI. We are about a 40 minute drive from downtown Charlottetown. Use of three shared bikes can be included in your stay. A little free library at the edge of the property will keep you in books throughout your time with us, and we also have several firepits and board games as well as an outdoor shower (clothing optional). We are a mostly vegetarian (but not vegan) household. In season, we have fresh mint, lavender, various berries and tomatoes. The property and all buildings on it are strictly non-smoking (that includes vaping). The outdoor shower and several fire pits add to the property’s rustic charm; there are also two indoor toilets and sinks which are shared with the owner, as well as two small outdoor and one indoor kitchen. We sometimes have other camp on our property. Our own "suite" consists of a bedroom, bathroom and closet. (It is attached to the main building, but is off-limits to visitors.) ABOUT US: I'm a certified teacher, licensed pilot and mother of adult monozygotic twins. My wife is a pilot who divides her time between Ontario and PEI. We welcome all potential applicants; new Canadians, LGB family, artists and neuro-atypicals are particularly welcome. The elderly gentleman my wife and I look after (and with whom we co-own the property) can be somewhat cranky; he is on site about 20% of the time, and spends the rest of his time in Charlottetown and/or Mexico. He is learning Spanish and also plays chess, but doesn't really like people. When he is here, he obsesses about garbage sorting and washing dishes "properly". We have a human-friendly rescue dog, Sneakers, on site. Unfortunately she is quite dog aggressive, so if have a pet, that would be a consideration; everyone needs to be leashed at all times and separation maintained. (We do have a fenced in area where dogs can run freely.) ADDITIONAL INFO: --> Asking $995/month, incl water, electricity, wifi and parking for one vehicle (rent can be reduced or eliminated in exchange for completion of job outlined above) --> min 2 references required, including current or previous landlord and at least one work-related reference who can speak to the quality of your work --> would require a damage deposit, to be returned within 48 hours of departure, assuming no damages --> entire property is strictly non-smoking, that includes vaping INTERESTED??? Please DM and tell me a little bit about yourself. If appropriate, I will send you a link to an online application. |
