Resort Staff Profile
"Hello, my name is Nikki. I am from Vancouver Island, BC. I was a member of the Siwash Guest Services Team in the summer... |
When new guests arrived at the ranch, it was my pleasure to show them around the lodge and get them acquainted with the nice pace of country life. Each day, I set the dining room tables with a miniature bouquet of wildflowers from the meadow, I delivered warm muffins and coffee to each guest room and I swept the front porch, which was always adorned with one of our happy sleeping dogs. Hanging freshly washed linens on the clothesline, composting organics and building a fire for the evening, was all part of my work. From any window in the lodge it is a memory postcard, whether it be the lake or the riders setting out on the trails. All these marvels, even the sky at night and the silence of dusk is something that can't be described. |
| I knew each of the 26 horses by name and recognized their individual whinny or knicker from outside my tent door. As I left the resort in the fall, bound for the city with well worn gumboots and a green thumb, I was a little more of a country girl — and the Siwash Team had changed to the Siwash Family. What an amazing experience and environment in which to grow, for staff and guests alike." Siwash Lake Staff Quarters for Live-in Workers
