From the beginning rick behaved in a very kind and helpful way. He helped me in all the setbacks that occurred. The community is very loving. I learned many things as well as an improvement in the command of the language. I'm going to miss you so much Rick. See you in Mexico. You're chido 🤍

Rick is an awesome host! I had a lot of fun in Lac La Hache, improved my skills, learned how to make great pizza and met great people who will always have a special place in my heart! . It's a great place to learn how to work in a kitchen, even if you don't have experience, rick teaches everything! the work is easy and fun, and you have plenty of time to learn. I definitely recommend this experience for anyone looking for some time in the nature, peace and a great community.

I am so glad that we ended up in Lac La Hache! Rick and everybody who we met are very kind and cool. We learned a lot about cooking, how to fish… in our free time we could jump in the lake, ride a bike or spend the day in the canoe… we have the best time and I couldn't say thanks enough for Rick! Heather, ricks friend is also great, she always went to the host to make us delicious dinners and spoiled us a lot hahah it's the perfect place to rest and be in the nature! I will miss everything and everyone 🥹

I can truly recommend visiting this place. We met a lot of locals who were interested in getting to know you and sharing their own story with you. They also offered to take you out for some activities. We had a friend from Rick working with us her name is Heather and she was a patient teacher who cooked dinner for us every night. She was always trying to make the time exciting. She is fun and a very caring person which i really appreciate. The work was not to much and easy. Its a great opportunity to get a first impression of how the kitchen works. We are greatful for the experience.
