We are only 5-10 min from all majors stores and restaurants yet surrounded by animals and Nature. In our house we have many things to entertain including Foosball, Ping Pong, a large trampoline, a gym with a Peloton bike, a treadmill and a water rower as well as a weight machine. We also have a pool and a 7 seater covered Hot tub which is kept at 102 year round. Our home is a place to relax, you can walk around the 10 acre property, relax in front of a nice fire or in the hot tub. Our house is professionally cleaned weekly.

We live 24 Miles north of Atlanta in a town called Milton. It is the horse affluent suburb of Atlanta. While we are in a rural setting we are less than 10 minutes from all major shops (Costco, Target, Walmart etc) and 30+ restaurants. It is very unusual in the US to find a town like Milton which combines country living with all of the amenities of a large city only minutes away. In 2019, Milton was listed as one of the top 3 cities to live in Georgia. Our house sits in the center of a 10 acre property so you are surrounded with 4 board horse pastures and have horse farms on 3 sides. We have a large kitchen (500 sqft) with all the amenities and tools not limited to breadmaker, waffle maker, Crepe maker, planchia and steam oven. We also have a Big Green Egg if you enjoy cooking. Every bedroom in our house has its own bathroom and all beds are new, the guest room bed is from 2021 and is of high quality. We have many amenities such as a full gym with a Peloton bike, a treadmill and a water Rower along with all mats weights etc. We also have a pool that is professionally maintained and a hot tub to relax in in the evening. We can leave a car at your disposal if needed.
Show more...Responsibilities
There are lots of animals but it actually only take 1.5h per day to feed them in the winter and 45 min a day in the summer as they stay outside and only eat 1/day. Your responsibility would be to spend the night and part of the day at home to keep the dogs company. You would need to walk them too at least 15 min every day. They should not be left alone for more than 6 hours at a time. The dogs are happy to go with you to parks on day trips and love the car. In the morning, let the chickens and Ducks out, make sure everyone has water and food. You would get the cat food out. In the evening Close chicken coop door and count the chickens. Feed the horses and the cats.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Rambaud family's house. Before the sit Alasdair gave us a video tour of the beautiful house and outside area and communication with him and his wife was great throughout the process. They left clear instructions for the house and animals and went through the feeding and care of the animals with us when we arrived. The house is in a beautiful area and we really enjoyed our time there. The house is well equipped with all the necessary appliances and comfortable, good quality beds and linen. The house was clean and tidy and easy to maintain. The care of the horses and donkeys were easier than we suspected as the stables and barn is close to the house and very well equipped with everything you need right there. We really enjoyed cooking in their lovely kitchen and the hottub was an extra treat. Teena and Turner loves spending time outside in the fenced garden and Shaddow loves cuddles. Socks was a bit shy when we first arrived but warmed up by day 2! We would reccommend this sit to anyone wanting to have a quiet peaceful sit in a beautiful area, close enough to town!
