  • Description

    Description

    We’re a family of four living in a spacious house with beautiful views of the lake and mountains. Our home is in a quiet town, perfect for those who enjoy peace and nature. We are two adults who work full-time, and two daughters (24 and 25) who are students with busy schedules. You’ll also meet our four friendly cats who complete our family.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    While our schedules are busy, we’re open to conversations and cultural exchange whenever possible. We love hearing about different countries, customs, and perspectives, and are happy to share our own way of life as well.

    We also know our region well and are glad to recommend local sights, day trips, hikes, and hidden gems nearby. Whether you're interested in nature, history, or local food, we’re happy to help you explore and enjoy your time here.

    Help

    Our main project at the moment is our large garden, which has become quite wild and overgrown. We’re looking for helpers who enjoy being outdoors and don’t mind getting their hands dirty! Tasks might include weeding, trimming bushes, clearing paths, planting, and general garden care.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    You will have your own private room with a comfortable 140cm bed and direct access to the balcony. The kitchen, bathroom, and living room are shared with the family, and we ask for mutual respect and cleanliness in these common areas.

    You’re also very welcome to use the pool during your stay — a great way to relax after a day in the garden or exploring the area.

    Food will be provided during your stay, but since we all have busy and often irregular schedules, you are expected to prepare your meals most of the time. The kitchen is fully equipped and available for your use.

    If time allows, we’re happy to share a meal together now and then — we always enjoy good company and conversation when the opportunity arises!
