I had such a great time at the home! The surrounding area was beautiful! Mary recommended lots of historical sites nearby and we took advantage on our days off. The house we stayed it was very cozy and the work hours were quite easy. We painted a wall and a ceiling during our time there. We had access to a car, and did some cool day trips as well. We enjoyed many dinners with our hosts and enjoyed socializing! Thank you Mary and Jeremy

Noah and I had a wonderful experience at the home! Mary and Jeremy, were incredibly welcoming and friendly throughout our entire stay, and we highly recommend this experience. Our tasks included painting walls, sanding window panes, raking leaves, and organizing furniture. The work was well communicated, flexible, relatively easy, and not too tedious. We had an entire cottage to ourselves to live and cook our own meals in, which was lovely as well. On our days off, we took the car to explore nearby cities, go hiking, or go rock climbing. The fall colors were beautiful too!

I absolutely loved my time in the home!! Mary and Jeremy are great hosts I loved getting to know them and having dinners with them. They were so kind and always made sure I was comfortable there. This property is absolutely dreamy and I will always keep this memory close to my heart. I hipe to one day come back! I was alone in my own cottage and never felt unsafe or anything like that at all. The cottage was divine and if you know how to drive manual cars they will have one there for you to use. Absolutely recommend!

Our experience at the home was very good , we spent an excellent three weeks with Mary and Jeremy. They were always very kind and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The place is truly beautiful and peaceful, and the tasks were simple and easy to carry out. We're very grateful and hope to meet again someday

I had a wonderful experience helping Mary and Jeremy with their project. Our tasks were very manageable, the hours were flexible, and we enjoyed seeing the impact of the completion of our projects. We were highly encouraged to take trips to nearby towns and immerse ourselves in the culture and rich local history through being given plenty of recommendations, free time, and the transportation to do so. I can't recommend this opportunity enough.
