A little piece of magic in the Alps Spending time as a volunteer at Petit the lodge Baabuk has been a truly special experience. From the very beginning, Dan and Galina welcomed us with open arms, creating a warm, relaxed and inspiring atmosphere that made us feel at home. Lac de Taney is a dreamlike place, surrounded by mountains, nature and silence, it's the perfect place to reconnect and slow down. This experience allowed me to learn, grow, and gain new perspectives. Thank you, Dan and Galina, for everything. I'll carry this little piece of Taney with me wherever I go.

I would definitely repeat the experience without any doubt. It's an ideal place to disconnect, and I've learned to do many manual tasks. The place is paradise, and there are plenty of options if you enjoy the mountains. The hosts welcomed us with open arms and provided all kinds of support. As for the tasks, yes, there are quite a few things to do, but for me personally, the stay went by quickly. Taney has felt like home during these three weeks!

This was my second time volunteering at the lodge Baabuk. During my first stay, we have done a lot of DIY projects, while the second time was more focused on managing the daily operations of the house. This included preparing the rooms, cleaning various spaces, baking, and making breakfast and dinner. Whenever I had some free time, I enjoyed going for walks, Taney is a beautiful place or swimming in the lake. the lodge is truly a special place, and I hope future volunteers will find as much joy in taking care of it as I did. Thank you Dan and Galina for your trust.

My stay at the Baabuk hostel was another month full of great experiences. Here, Dan shares with us a unique setting in the Swiss Alps with the confidence and autonomy that helped me grow. I was able to develop my social and communication skills, as well as some DIY skills (if you like DIY, go for it!). You'll be helping to develop and grow a wonderful little inn and create some incredible memories. Dan and Galina are two very welcoming and friendly hosts who will make you feel at home.

My partner and I had an unforgettable experience staying with Dan, Galina, and their family. The scenery was breathtaking, and each day felt peaceful and refreshing. It was a wonderful opportunity to immerse ourselves in Swiss culture and connect with some truly lovely people. Dan and Galina are incredibly generous hosts, and we'll always cherish our time with them.
