Join us as a Airbnb hosting assistant. We have multiple waterfront vacation rental cottages that we need help with. It’s a wonderful opportunity for nature lovers.
AIRBNB COTTAGE RENTAL ASSISTANT
My husband and I own multiple lakefront cottages properties that we rent out to vacationers who come from various parts of the world. They rent our cottages to experience an authentic cottaging experience in the famous Muskoka region.
We have already had assistants from France, Mexico, and England and they have been wonderful!!!
OUR NEXT OPENING WILL BE LATE AUGUST/EARLY SEPTEMBER (or later). IF YOU’RE INTERESTED, CONTACT ME. I’M FLEXIBLE ON DATES AND DURATION.
Your responsibilities will vary depending on the season. Contact me, we can discuss and I’ll explain the responsibilities during that fit with the timing of your stay.
This stay is a combination of city living (mostly during the week at our house in Toronto) and lakefront living (weekends at our cottage), with the possibility of some week days at the cottage during summer, depending on the season.
