Description
We are a dutch familie who lives in the countryside in Germany, but close to the Dutch border. We have one 13 year old son, 2 dogs, chickens and a pig. We have a small touristbuscompany and we organise motorcycle tours worldwide. If you stay with us you can stay in a Sheppard hut (which we used as a B&B in corona times), use the outdoor kitchen/shower (with warm water) and you will have alot of privacy in the middle of nature. It's a nice area to hike and bike. As it is on the border with the Netherlands so you can have best of both. The work will be small projects like painting, renovation work and gardenwork. Would be great if you want to stay with us for a while. Looking forward to it.
