Description
Hello there!
We are Ursula and Michael.
We would be happy to welcome you at our place!
We are located in the lower Austrian Alps and are a family of 6.
(Ursula, Michael, Cornelia, Magdalena, Johanna and Paulina)
We bought an old farm house on a hill 20 years back and built the stable as an apartment house.
Our daughter got some great experience through workaway and we would also love to let someone to get such a great experience at our place. And for us we would be really happy to get some helping hands around our place, with our the household and our animals (donkeys, sheep, chicken, rabbits and cats).
We are looking for a trustworthy person, responsible, able to take care of himself and willing to help and opened to get in touch with a new culture.
You would get a room in our house with a separate shower and toilet and including food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and we would also help you if you needed to come around in our area.
We love to hike in summer and ski in winter so don't mind to ask as for some time and activity outdoors.
It would be awesome if you could stay more than 2 weeks at the time. You could come alone or together, we would take 1 or 2 people at once.
If you're interested of spending time with us in the Austrian mountains and giving us a hand, don't hesitate to write us an Email.
