  • Description

    Description

    There are currently five people living in the household - us as parents and our three children aged 20, 18 and 16 years.
    Together we pay attention to cleanliness, order and a pleasant, inviting atmosphere.

    I work in the nursing sector and contribute my experience and care to my profession every day.
    My husband works in the technical field and combines precision with craftsmanship.
    Our three children attend schools or study and are partly away from home.

    We live in a house with a spacious, lovingly maintained garden. Numerous flower folds and various trees create a varied and harmonious atmosphere.

    Our vegetable garden consists of several raised beds, which we design, plant and harvest with great pleasure.
    Among other things, we grow: Tomato, Paprika, Cucumbers, Salad, Pumpkins, Beets and much more.

    A well-kept lawn completes the garden picture. We attach great importance to keeping it always tidy and attractive.

    Three chickens currently live in a small chicken coop, which provide us with fresh eggs every day and provide rural flair.

    We are always happy to try out new things, to design them and to constantly beautify our living space.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    During a stay with us, there is the possibility to share more than just daily life. We enjoy cooking together, exchanging recipes, and trying out traditional dishes from different cultures. Since we live in a unique tri-border region, it is easy to explore not only Austria but also the neighboring countries, each with its own charm. In addition, there are many opportunities to experience local traditions and cultural aspects more closely. We see this exchange as a chance to learn from one another, broaden horizons, and create meaningful connections.

  • Help

    Help

    Anyone who decides to spend some time with us will become part of our family’s daily life. We welcome support both in the household and in the garden, always in a respectful and pleasant atmosphere.

    In the household, this includes common activities such as cleaning windows, vacuuming and mopping floors, occasional simple cooking, and general upkeep and tidiness in the house. In the garden, depending on the season and needs, we appreciate help with tasks like weeding and removing unwanted plants, mowing the lawn, collecting leaves, harvesting small amounts of fruit and vegetables, trimming flowers, cutting back grasses, and pruning bushes while disposing of the cuttings.

    Our garden is not overly large, so the work remains very manageable. What matters to us is that these tasks are done with joy and an eye for beauty, just as we do ourselves.

    We want every helping hand to feel comfortable with us, to become part of our harmonious way of living, and to work together with us in keeping our home and garden a well-kept, welcoming place.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    The accommodation for our guests is located in the basement, which is set up like a regular living space. It is a warm and comfortable room, fully heated and offering a pleasant atmosphere. Right next door, there is a separate room with a toilet and sink, providing a private sanitary area. In addition, the bathroom with shower on the ground floor can be used at any time.

    We want our guests to feel at home and enjoy a cozy space where they can relax and unwind.

    Basically, we always share our meals together, and the cooking is done together as needed. If someone happens not to be at home, then someone else will simply cook, or we prepare something with what is available. Most of our food comes directly from the garden or from what we have in the fridge or freezer.

    If you like, we can also go shopping together to get some special ingredients and try out cultural dishes as a shared experience. For us, meals are about bringing people together and creating a warm and joyful time for everyone.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Our surroundings offer many opportunities for a varied and enjoyable free time. In summer, the nearby lakes invite you to go swimming, while the surrounding mountains are perfect for hiking and exploring. In winter, there are great possibilities for skiing and other winter sports.

    Public transport connections are also very good, with trains and buses running regularly, usually every hour. In addition, it is sometimes possible to arrange a lift to the train station, making weekend trips to the city or elsewhere even easier.

    There are also many cultural activities in the region, such as visiting museums, concerts, or the theater, offering a wide range of experiences for different interests.

    What is especially important to us is a respectful way of living together. We value cleanliness, tidiness, friendliness, politeness, and a considerate attitude in everyday life. These values help make our home a harmonious and welcoming place for everyone.
