This oasis is paradise! Beautiful home/acreage in the mountains. Bahar and Andy were great hosts--easy going and fun place to work. I felt like family. Andy is awesome cook. Bahar made extra effort to get me to dentist. Thank you very much,!

I had a pleasant visit with Jon. It was my first workaway experience. Jon helped me get done everything that was possible that I wanted in the short time we had (He stopped by here on the way for heading to a stop to prepare to go to Africa). Jon and I had some great conversations too. Jon is a pleasant, easygoing, and energetic person. I just… read more

He is a very courteous and thoughtful house guest, and about as low maintenance as one can get. In other words, he's easy to have around.

One of the nice… read more

Jon spent 10 days with us in July. From the moment he arrived until he left he worked really hard and was always happy to do whatever I asked. During his stay he helped me on my fencing project setting posts

I stayed one month and found a renewed spiritual awakening at this retreat homestead. After studying Chigong and related material in this beautiful forest of pines sanctuary, a 'total peace' came over me one evening - all my worries went away and felt re-born. There's lots of free time to walk/bike and think right out our backdoor.

Jon is a wonderful person, who has a lot more to offer than his profile reveals. He stayed with us for 6 weeks and every job he took on was done with great care and attention to detail. He is very handy, observant and the work ethics of a farm boy is part of his personality. We loved how he would see things that needed to be done and taking care… read more
