The Experience
Gradually working toward the creation of a retreat center, I require help with garden clearing, planting and maintenance. Strong arms needed for mowing, strimming, etc. Handyman and carpentry skills very strong pluses. Do you know how to build an outdoor shower? Yes? You're my hero😊 Garden sculptures are also on my wish list.

During the first days everything seemed to be fine. The place is nice and I liked to work there. Then communication with the farm became complicated and in the end I was very disappointed by the way she behaved. I was lucky to find another place to stay in town, otherwise I would have been in trouble.

It was not a good fit. While he did help with pruning and basic garden tasks, Carsten broke things, creating additional tasks and cost to me. I've finally replaced the lawnmower. Perhaps a clearer understanding of responsibilities would have been helpful.

Abi was very accommodating. Her place is off the beaten path which was great because I was still able to connect with the local culture. Her internet service was superb so that I could maintain contact with my work and family. I would highly recommend Abi!

Simplemente maravilloso. La experiencia e casa de Abigail fue increÃble, no sabrÃa como poder reflejar todo en un comentario. Desde el primer momento estuvo pendiente de si me encontraba cómodo en todo momento. El trabajo en su gran jardÃn ha sido siempre un placer, compartiendo esos ratos disfrutando de la agradable y su permanente simpatÃa y positividad. El lugar es magnÃfico, en plena naturaleza, magnÃfico para disfrutar de ella. Muchas gracias Abigail por acogerme y por tu trato, ha sido una increÃble experiencia y me he sentido como en casa. Espero volver pronto
