Description
PLEASE READ before writing. We give preference to couples or two friends traveling together and international travelers. Our family has a second home in the wonderful ski resort community of Breckenridge, Colorado. Breck has it all- great skiing, hiking, fly fishing, mointain biking, shops, and restaurants. There is an easy local and regional bus system in Summit county (and to Denver) and our house is walking distance to town. We have hosted a lot of Workaway volunteers, Exchange students, couch surfers and Warm Showers cyclists. NOTE, we live at almost 10,000 feet (3,000 meters) In Spring - it is STILL winter - expect snow, mud, cold temperatures. Summer months have afternoon rains and cool nights - so bring warm clothes and sturdy shoes. Every year our townhouse is in need of a general cleaning, little interior/exterior touch up painting, yard racking/mulching and reconditioning of the interior wood trim (the dry high altitude air is hard on the wood), carpet cleaning. All tasks that would make your mother proud! Please note, we cannot welcome dogs - non- smokers only - condo association does not allow tobacco or weed. We are available Summer 2027 but since this is our second home our availability is somewhat limited. The work schedule is flexible and give you time to explore the mountains.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We have traveled extensively and look forward to hearing about your adventures! Anyone traveling in the US should experience the beauty and culture of the West - Breckenridge started as a mining town over 100 years ago. Everyone should experience the beauty of the Rocky Mountains and interacting with a family that supports cultural exchange and has traveled extensively.
Help
Our 3 bedroom townhouse needs a spring cleaning after the long winters in the Colorado mountains. Help would include wiping down all woodwork, washing all bedding, wiping out cabinets and touch up painting, light outdoor work such as racking and mulching. All things that would make your mother proud!! We can only host for a two week period. We give preference to volunteers traveling as a pair or a group of 3 maximum. We have hosted a lot of workawayers before at our homes back east and here in Breck and have had a great experience. We will ensure we get to experience the beauty of the mountains with you. Breck is a really welcoming community and a beautiful place to spend your free time.

Accommodation
Private bedroom with private bath (room has a queen bed and twin bunk). We can host couples or a friend group of no more than 3. All towels, sheets, food and access to laundry provided. We have wi-fi. Our preference is two/ three friend and or a couple - if traveling as a group, you will share a room with your friends (bunk beds and a queen sized bed). We will stock the refrigerator with food that you like and look forward to cooking together. Please let us know if any food preferences or allergies.
What else ...
We have hosted workaway workers, exchange students, and au pairs in the past. We also participate in "Warm Showers" where we host cross country bicyclists as the come through Breck. We can not welcome pets. No smokers please - and no weed (condo has restrictions). We are a really friendly family - We can help with transportation from Denver to Breckenridge (but Breck can be reached with light rail from the airport, bus from downtown Denver ). There are also a good bus system from downtown Denver to Breck. Breck and neighboring resorts may be open for skiing during this time - your work schedule will allow time to ski / board or you can borrow our snow shoes. Please note that we are at over 10,000 feet (3,000 meters) so you will need warm clothes as it’s still winter in May and cool in summer with afternoon rains at times. We can loan you some hats, gloves, but hiking boots are really useful - this is known as Mud Season!.

They introduced me to locals and gave me plenty of resources for things to do in Breckenridge. It was a pleasure to meet this family!
we'll always remeber that!
