The hosts were kind and generous, it was a very relaxing and home-y stay. The house was comfortable, well maintained and had a great team, enjoyed my stay very much. Work schedules were flexible, as long as daily dasks were done, the rest of the day was yours. Even then, we worked on rotations and staff were encouraged to go skiing. Had many opportunities to talk to guests and hear about different perspectives from the city life I'm used to. Would go back if I could!

The hosts were kind and generous, felt very home-y and comfortable during my time there. The work schedule is rather flexible, most of the day is yours after finishing up some daily tasks. But even then, we rotated work days and staff were encouraged to go out skiing which was great. It was fun talking with the guests too and got a different perspective from the city life I was used to. Overall wonderful experience, and would go back again if I could
