The experience

Hi! We are Maria (26, Spanish/English) and Ben (28, English), a couple with a magic mountain dream. We have two energetic sweet dogs. A year ago, we bought an old bar, two houses, a stone cabin, and some land in the mountains to live out our dream of a simple life connected to nature. There are lots of jobs to be done and lots of fun to be had. We love running, hiking, cycling, and, of course, a beer by the fire. We look forward to meeting you!
