    Description

    Would you like to sleep in a mud house with earth roof that's not quite finished but great!?

    It would be great to have help for a few weeks to get my large, very natural garden ready for the winter. I'm a little old lady, English, live in a small old stone house - very rural, with a nice little old dog and cheeky chickens.

    Make a large, very natural garden winter-proof, i.e. cut the long grass either with a scythe or a large lawnmower, turn over compost and prepare a new bed for perennials. Minor repair work in the house, possibly wood cutting.
    ================
    Einen großen sehr naturbelassen Garten winterfest machen, d.h. das lange Grass entweder mit der Sense oder großen Rasenmäher schneiden, Kompost umstechen ein neues Beet für Stauden vorbereiten. Kleinere Reparatur Arbeiten im Haus, eventuell Holzschneiden.

    Accommodation

    The accommodation is in an unfinished clay house. The house with terrace and earthen roof is standing, has an unfinished clay floor, electricity and a double bed. Dry toilet is available or water toilet and shower in the main house (30m away). My diet is mainly vegetarian but I have no problem cooking meat as well, always organic, lamb, poultry, occasionally game. It doesn't matter who wants to cook.
    ================
    Die Unterkunft ist in einem nicht fertigen Lehmhaus. Das Haus mit Terasse und Erddach steht, hat einen nicht fertigen Lehmboden, Strom und ein Doppelbett. Trockenklo ist vorhanden oder Wasserklo und Dusche im Haupthaus (30m entfernt). Ich ernähre mich hautsächlich vegetarisch habe aber kein Problem auch Fleisch zu kochen, immer bio, Lamm, Geflügel, gelegentlich Wild. Es ist egal wer kochen möchte.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Stuben is very hilly with lots of forest (and lots of mushrooms) very remote and natural. Transport connections are sparse, trips to the vineyards or neighboring towns have to be made by car. However, there are relatively good transport connections to Vienna and Lake Neusiedl (each about 1 1/2 hour travel time).
    ================
    Stuben liegt sehr hügelig mit viel Wald (und viele Schwammerln) sehr abgelegen und naturbelassen. Verkehrsverbindungen sind spärlich, Ausflüge in die Weinberge oder nachbar Ortschaften müssen mit dem Auto gemacht werden. Es gibt allerdings relativ gute Verkerkehrstverbindungen nach Wien und Neusiedlersee (jeweils ca 1 1/2 Stunde Reisezeit.
