It was really great having Ivan and Uliana stay at our cabin – 5 days was way too short. They met with zeal any task at hand. We would have gotten more done with brush clearing if the trimmers and chainsaw hadn't kept breaking down. Ivan and I worked together on both (Ivan mostly); they're still running like a charm. I got the feeling that Ivan… read more

Ivan and Uliana were excellent guests in my home. They were always happy, and worked to solve all kinds of random issues around the house. They took great care of my puppy, and helped train him up to become a good boy. I would highly recommend these two as guests for anybody. They are a fun couple to converse and live with.

This was an absolutely the best experience for me and my wife. We loved the experience we acquired with electric fence and it comes handy on our current farm-stead. It was fun working with kids once in a while. My wife was happy to make some hand-knitted hats for ladies in the household. My wife learned to be friendly with dogs, pigs, ducks, and… read more
