    Description

    We live in a really old and magical house in a Medium size City in the south of Germany! The city is directly at the river Danube, between Stuttgart and Munich and just one hour from the Alps.
    Although the house is in the city it is really quiet and green as it is in the middle of an urban garden area and it has a big garden itself. There are two cats living here and some dogs visiting once in a while.. we love to make bon fires and gather with friends to have a good time together, do Yoga or go to little alternative events and concerts in the city..
    We are looking for a couple or two friends (one man obligatory to move heavy things around) that would like to spend two weeks (plus optional two more weeks) helping with garden work and some paint job in the house! You could stay in your own little garden house with kitchen and explore the area that offers beautiful little lakes, Biergarten and is close to interesting Tourist attractions...

    Help

    We need help with the garden, cutting wood for the wood stove, recycling and moving things on the property. We would like to paint one or more rooms in the house and clean the windows. Some restoration in the house might be another little project. You guys should be able to do some simple reparation at the garden shed and be able to use an electric chainsaw.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    You will stay in a nice little garden house that has its own kitchen with electric stove and fridge. It has also a room with furniture and queen size bed. You have your camping toilet and can use our bathroom for showering in the main house.
    We will take care of your grocery shopping and pay the food. As we work at changing hours we prefer everyone cooks separate and maybe we have meals together in special occasions or at the weekends.

    What else ...

    The house is just ten minutes from the bus-stop that brings you to the city centre with its beautiful little old town, the church with the tallest steeple of the world and the birthplace of Albert Einstein! There are also beautiful little lakes, parks with flee markets and concerts close. You can reach the Alps and the amazing Lake Constance as well as the big cities Stuttgart and Munich in just one hour by train.
