Old cabin log in Rarau Mountains, Romania

Description

We moved in 2016 in Romanian mountains coming from United Kingdom to live more natural and healthy. Our house is quite isolated and we have a few people around us. We restored during the first year a house from 1940 where we live now wishing to grow our own food (vegetable garden & aquaponics) but also love to have the social factor involved. .

The bigger plan is to build an earthship house on top of the mountain We will love to meet new people and have volunteers helping with our projects.

We are a family of 7, 2 adults 1 junior, our loved 3years old Eduard, a little munchkin full of joy that loves to explore the world around him, 2 dogs and 2 cats.
The house is fully equipped with running water (cold& hot), stove, sawdust toilet, electricity , internet , TV, water well.
We can host the volunteers in the open space room that we have in the main house and on our land in tents during summer. Tents can be provided. Food is variate , we mainly serve vegetables, meat, fruits, home made bread & cookies, big supermarket close by if any food preferences.
Transport to the cabin and back can be taken care by us if you arrive in the nearest airport in Suceava.
