This person said they were coming on 24th Feb. They ignored a confirmation message, despite it being tagged as "read". I've heard nothing since. Unless they are sick or have had something bad happen, it is very selfish and rude as hasn't happened to us before. A very simple " I'm not coming" or "I've made other plans" would have been all that was… read more

Steve and his kids were so friendly, nice, and fun! I loved hanging out with them. The place was gorgeous, easy to get to by car, and there was a lot to do for nature lovers. I cleaned their house, watched their dog, Sky, and made friends with their neighbours. It was so nice to be here and I can't wait to come back.

My experience with jule was a positive one.She is a caring and sensitive person who is great with children. My two boys loved being with her, even though she is not a real bavarian. She is both honest and diligent and as a result is highly recommended. We would welcome her back to our farm.
