Experience daily family life in a scenic alpine village called Bad Reichenhall in Germany

Details

  Description

  We are an active family of four living in a mountain village in the beautiful Bavarian Alps called Bad Reichenhall. Mom Katrin and Dad Michi. Our children were born in 2020 and 2021 – there’s always energy, creativity and laughter in our home!
  
  We love the outdoors: hiking, exploring nature, swimming, running, biking, ski mountaineering...
  
  We both work so we really value support from friendly and responsible travellers. There are many ways you can help – whether it’s playing with the kids, helping with household tasks, gardening, or helping with the horses that are placed in a stable a few minutes away by car.
  
  We speak English and German.
  We have internet, but no TV.
  We do not smoke and kindly ask that our guests don’t smoke either – indoors or outdoors.
  
  Our eldest daughter learned English for the first time and she want to improve it. So if you even enjoy teaching English language, that’s also wonderful!
  
  If you’d like to experience daily family life in a scenic alpine village, surrounded by nature and fresh mountain air, we would love to hear from you .
  
  Duration of Your Stay
  To make the exchange worthwhile for both sides and to give everyone enough time to settle in, we generally accept guests for a minimum stay of two weeks.
  
  Additional Information
  During autumn and winter, we are mainly looking for support with household tasks and a bit of help with the children. In spring and summer, we are happy to have an extra hand in the garden.
  
  Childcare
  Childcare in our home means simply spending some time with the children – playing a little, keeping them busy with small activities, or joining in on what they are doing. You will usually not be alone with them, as we parents are almost always around. So you don’t need to take full responsibility; it’s more about sharing moments and giving us a bit of relief in everyday life.
  
  Communication and Commitment
  We love welcoming guests into our home and do our best to make them feel like part of our family rather than visitors. We enjoy sharing meals, spending time together, and creating a genuine cultural exchange.
  
  House Guidelines
  Please treat our home with the same care and respect as your own.
  Open communication is important. If you use up supplies, change your plans, or notice any problem, please let us know.
  Small everyday contributions, such as taking out the trash or occasionally spending time with the children, particularly in the later afternoon while we are cooking, are always appreciated.
