Ah where to begin! We stayed with Marie and Renaud in May (2018). We are a little late in leaving feedback as we kept forgetting; however, we have not being able to stop thinking about our amazing time spent with this beautiful family. Being that it was our first work away experience, we were not sure what to expect. The two of us were so grateful… read more for the way Marie and Renaud opened their homes to us, their hospitality is unmatched. From sharing meals together, having discussions after over some tea or amazing homemade delicacy to traveling with the family to different places- we felt like family, and must we say, we were so fortunate to be apart of that family for the few weeks that we were. Jonas and I still think about their sweet children, all with distinctively different personalities, but all just as sweet. We must say, we miss Camille's spontaneous singling, Mathis' discussion of all things pokemon, Alanis' love of all things kitten's, and Mila's elaborate stories. Marie and Renaud, we are still singing the "Creepy! Creepy!" song from the Tim Burton play Mila and Mathis were in (by the way we hope it was as AMAZING as it sounded:D). Aside from bonding with the children, whom we loved from the moment we met them, we developed a deep respect for both Marie and Renaud the path they have chosen for their lives. Anyone who passes up a work away with them has missed an incredible opportunity. The work itself was not difficult; however, it is essential that you put your time, effort and heart into what you are doing. After all, their treehouse hotel business is their 5th child, and rightfully so. So long as all of our responsibilities were managed in a timely manner, we were free to explore, which provided the two of us time to explore Switzerland in all it's glory. It was an amazing balance of work, spending time with our new family, and exploring in a way we would not have been able to had it not been for Marie and Renaud. We will forever be grateful for this amazing couple letting us in their home, teaching us good work ethic, igniting in us a wanderlust- they and their family have a place in our hearts forever. As we write this feedback, we wish we could be sitting at the dinner table with the kids, the two of you, Dominique and Pascal and chatting over wine and delicious fondue or raclette. PS- We hope Edith is doing great!

Just even having such a great idea, to build treehouses in their garden, says a lot about them. They are so open-minded and have so much vitality. If you see them you just feel happy because they are. They have… read more

This was my sixth Workaway and by far my favourite. I absolutely loved every second I spent here. I arrived on the 10th of May, with an understanding that there wouldn't be any space for me after the 15th, but I ended up being invited to stay for however long I wanted. They were so flexible, hospitable and just amazingly sweet and kind. Their… read more
