Gaia is an incredibly respectful and accommodating host! He is very easy to communicate with, very fair and willing to compromise. He is also an excellent cook (ask him about the chickpeas…) As a young woman I felt completely safe the whole time, and I got to have some truly incredible experiences. Thank you so much, Gaia. I had the most lovely time on your property. Give Dori and Shanti (dog and cat) hugs for me!

Volunteering at the lodge was such a beautiful and unforgettable experience. The peaceful surroundings and the connection with nature make it the perfect place to be. Gaia is an incredibly kind and welcoming host who makes you feel at home right away and Dori and Shanti, the sweetest dog and cat add even more warmth to the place. I'm so grateful for the time I spent there. A piece of my heart will always stay at the lodge, it's a truly special place I'll never forget.

I had the most amazing time here. Gaia was the most amazing host, he was so respectful of working hours, took us for pizza, ice cream and to the lake, he was always clear about what was expected of us and was also a lovely person to talk to. Dori and Chante are also the cutest pets ever. I highly recommend this experience for anyone looking for a place to disconnect and relax and it will always hold a special place in my heart :)

My stay at the lodge was so wonderful and peaceful! Gaia and his family are kind and welcoming, and he would take us to local spots in the surrounding area some afternoons. The work is not difficult and the hours are respected. It is a bit far from the surrounding towns but they are easily accessible if you like to walk, which we did a couple of times:) It is a great opportunity to slow down, enjoy the beautiful surroundings, and meet some wonderful people. Thank you Gaia and Marketa for a great first volunteer experience!!
