Description
Experience life in the Bavarian Alps and help us with family life and gardening.
We are an active family of five living in a mountain village in the beautiful Bavarian Alps. Our children were born in 2018, 2022 and 2025 – there’s always energy, creativity and laughter in our home!
We love the outdoors: hiking, exploring nature, swimming in alpine lakes and gardening. In summer, we grow our own organic vegetables. We also live with seven ducks and two lovely cats who are part of the family.
We both work from home and we really value support from friendly and responsible travellers. There are many ways you can help – whether it’s playing with the kids, helping with household tasks, doing garden work, or contributing your personal skills.
We speak English, French and German.
We have internet, but no TV.
We do not smoke and kindly ask that our guests don’t smoke either – indoors or outdoors.
Our eldest daughter plays the violin and we have a piano – so if you’re musical or even enjoy teaching, that’s also wonderful!
If you’d like to experience daily family life in a scenic alpine village, surrounded by nature and fresh mountain air, we would love to hear from you .
Duration of Your Stay
To make the exchange worthwhile for both sides and to give everyone enough time to settle in, we generally accept guests for a minimum stay of two weeks.
Additional Information
During autumn and winter, we are mainly looking for support with household tasks and a bit of help with the children. In spring and summer, we are happy to have an extra hand in the garden.
Childcare
Childcare in our home means simply spending some time with the children – playing a little, keeping them busy with small activities, or joining in on what they are doing. You will usually not be alone with them, as we parents are almost always around. So you don’t need to take full responsibility; it’s more about sharing moments and giving us a bit of relief in everyday life.
Communication and Commitment
We love welcoming guests into our home and do our best to make them feel like part of our family rather than visitors. We enjoy sharing meals, spending time together, and creating a genuine cultural exchange.
Because of this, we ask our guests to approach their stay with the same openness and commitment. We are not an Airbnb or a hotel, and our home is not intended to provide the flexibility and anonymity of one. If you are looking for complete independence with no interaction or shared responsibilities, another type of accommodation will probably suit you better.
We receive many requests and therefore give priority to guests who appreciate the spirit of home sharing, communicate openly, respect our house rules, and let us know if their plans or expectations change. Clear and honest communication before and during your stay helps everyone have a wonderful experience.
House Guidelines
Please treat our home with the same care and respect as your own.
Open communication is important. If you use up supplies, change your plans, or notice any problem, please let us know.
Please ventilate your room every morning and evening.
In the guest room, please only consume dry snacks and water.
We usually enjoy meals together. If you prefer to eat separately, please let us know in advance.
After shared meals, please help tidy the kitchen.
Small everyday contributions, such as preparing the floors for our robot vacuum, taking out the trash, or occasionally spending time with the children, particularly in the later afternoon while we are cooking, are always appreciated.
Feeding and securing our ducks is an important daily responsibility. We will discuss on this, if you want to take over the resposibility.
Before departure, please leave your room and bathroom clean, strip the beds, and place the used bed linen by the washing machine. -

Can host digital nomads
Yes we can. But please note that we are working at home and we do Not appreciate guests having breakfast at 10 am while we are already in the middle of the day. We prefer guests visiting us for enjoying nature! We don’t want to hinder you from taking trips and expect fewer contributions when you are traveling a lot. When you are at home, we appreciate it if you get involved while we are also working.
