Trish is pure kindness and made sure we had everything for a comfortable stay from robes to tasty vegetarian home cooked meals & laundry. Riccardo & Trish were always appreciative of our work and very flexible. We did some mortar repair, painting and vegetation clearing on their property.

Heather and Philip were our first retired couple.
They were punctual ,diligent,skilled and trustworthy.
They painted the garage and prepared the stone wall ready for rejuvenation which was no main feat.
Wishing you all the best for your next adventures.

Suzi was an awesome host. We were most warmly treated as part of the family. Our work scope was quite varied, based upon weather, her priorities, and nature. Our tasks were completed (except for the vineyard) and she was always most pleased with our progress and attention to detail. The coolest project was painting a chalk-board on the wall with… read more

Heather and Philip are "grown ups" (mostly!). that means they are responsible, manage their time, think about their tasks and how to do them in the best way, are truthful and honest about what they feel comfortable taking on (not everyone is cut out for everything), and are also delightful people!

They were excellent guests in my home - easy going and very respectful. In addition to everything they did, they were great fun and very interesting people. I highly recommend Heather and Philip for any… read more

Our 2 week stay with Jean was awesome. The most delicious suppers with a Myriad of worldly conversations made our stay seem way too short. Taking care of Clover, the Lab, was a dream come true. He is a loveable fella who enjoys walks, brushing and attention.
Our gardening & outdoor projects were not too strenuous and were fun to complete. Along… read more
