  Descripción

  Only looking for a longer term housesitter at the moment! Multiple months up to a year or more. You should have a (mountain proof) car and love more primitive living. We have 2 outdoor dogs and multiple outdoor cats. Starting october first - no defined end time from our side, but at least until december or january. Wouldn’t recommend for people to do alone unless you are a hardcore mountain person haha.

  We’re a Dutch family living on top of a mountain in Transylvania. Our names are Michael (31), Elisa (30), and our two kids are 6 and 1. We live on 7 hectares of remote untouched nature in a beautiful natural park in Hunedoara. We also have a rental in rental in the city in Sibiu and for the last months have found ourselves spending more and more time there, because it fits our growing family better at the moment. Which leaves us with a problem, because the house and animals can’t be without people for a longer period of time, of course.
  
  
  We’d love to hear about your passions and make space for them, a lot of things are possible here! We are very passionate about doing what makes you excited. What would you love to do/create here in the mountains? I studied ecology, so although a bit rusty, I’m full of ideas for medicinal herbs, food forests, and natural projects, and Michael loves all things tech and music.

  Enjoy the natural park! Beautiful untouched nature, remote, quiet.
  There are creeks in walking distance, and nearby there are some hiking trails, waterfalls, caves and Dacian ruines.
  
  We live 15 minutes off-road up the mountain, so you can only get there with the 4x4. The next city is Deva on an hour drive.
  
  We love making campfires when we can and have nice long chats about life. We both used to travel a lot seperately, Michael as a busker and Elisa mostly Workawaying. After having kids we wanted to have more space and nature around us, and that’s how we ended up in this beautiful corner of the world.

  Ayuda

  For housesitting in winter and spring:
  
  - Feed and water the dogs and cats
  - If something breaks try to fix it (and things often break unfortunately 😅)
  
  For housesitting in summer and autumn:
  - We will also be there sometimes for a week or two, or a few weekends a month. We can arrange whatever if comfortable for you, your own space in the shed, caravan of in a nearby Pensiunea when we are at the cabin.
  - If you like you can help with gardening, harvesting from the fruit trees, mowing etc. But not a must.

  Alojamiento

  Our water comes from a small creek, and can sometimes dry up for a few weeks at most in the hot summer, but there’s another creek nearby as well. In the winter the water can freeze for a few weeks in a row until the snow melts again. There’s a composting toilet. Think camping, and you’ll be fine!
  
  We have electricity, but sometimes it disappears for a few days. In that case, we have a generator that keeps the house and shed running. There’s very good Starlink internet, which works on the generator, so no problem if you need to work remotely.
  
  We have 2 outdoor dogs and 7 outdoor cats. One of the dogs is a Bucovina shepherd (livestock guardian breed). He’s very large, energetic, and can bark during the night depending on predator activity nearby. It’s his job to keep the mountain safe. I would say not be suitable for light sleepers, although if you want there’s a fence you could finish (almost done) and he can stay further away from the home.
  
  Winter:
  - It gets cold! The house can be heated with wood or electric heaters.
  - It can snow a lot! Prepare to be snowed in on the mountain for at least two weeks at a time.
  - Road down the mountain gets snowy and slippery, snow chains help.

  Normal cars and small (strong) vans can get up the mountain in the summer. In autumn and winter 4x4 becomes a must.
