Unhae and Bob were quite helpful around the yard, weeding , fixing fences and general cleanup. Having the extra sets of hands was very helpful to us maintaining the property. They were very personable and we enjoyed learning of their life journey. We would recommend them to anyone that needs help around the house.
We had a wonderful workaway at Amy and Rick’s place. They are friendly and welcoming, providing for all our needs and offering tips on local points of interest. We enjoyed some meals together (breakfast, dinner), sometimes worked together. In the 2+ weeks we stayed there, we did garden work (weeding, trimming, potting), cleaning and/or repair of

You can’t find a better place to sip morning coffee, do yoga on the dock, relax after a morning’s work! Thanks, Amy, for the paddle boarding lesson! It was a pleasure sharing a slice of life together while helping you with your home and garden maintenance. If you ever visit the SF Bay Area, you know what to do—we’d be happy to show you around! :)

We stayed at Amy and Rick's for about two weeks and what an amazing experience we had! Amy and Rick are both incredibly genuine, kind and generous.

We especially appreciated the peace and quiet just hanging out by the lake. We're so grateful.

I spent a very memorable week with Amy and Rick’s family. Their house is situated in a very quiet and beautiful neighborhood, besides a tranquil small lake.

I also got to celebrate father’s day with their family and met most of their family members, which are all awesome people. I can’t hope for anything more for my very first work-away experience. Truly thankful to Amy and Rick for the trust, the humility, and the friendship. I learned a lot from you!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

I stayed with Amy and Rick for about two and a half weeks and I had a wonderful time.

The work I did was in the huge garden. Amy and I were adressing the weed, either aroungd the pool or in the frontyard. The other great project was to substitute the wood chips in the flower beds. Shovel the old chips out and put new ones in. That was probably the hardest part, but since we took it step by step, it was no big effort.
I also appreciated that they showed me around Denver Downtown or at least told me where to go. I also played a round of golf with Rick, which was great fun!!
I can highly recommend a stay with Amy and Rick, I'm sure you will feel very welcome and will enjoy your stay very much !!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.
