Description

Looking for responsible people or person to care for and enjoy our home while we spend a year on the east coast for my wife's job. Our house is a nice size for a couple or small family. We have 2 good sized bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, and 1 small bedroom that we use as an office. Our kitchen and dining area have large sliding doors that open to the spacious yard and lend itself to an easy in/out flow. I currently am growing (and harvesting!) strawberries, raspberries and blueberries and would be happy to have folks who would appreciate and care for them. I also have tomatoes and kale currently and room for people to plant their own vegetables if they'd like.
