We ask for 2-3 hours of light cleaning, making beds etc from 930-12noon. After that you are free to sightsee or take a job locally. We do use strong smelling cleaners so you should not be averse to using them.
WE ARE DRUG AND DRAMA FREE. If you drink alcohol every day please do not apply.

Program Details

We provide breakfast, coffee and tea and pasta and sauce. Anything else is on your own. You should like kids because we do get our fair share of them. We get guests from all over the world, so if you speak another language or are learning one, there is a good chance you will be able to practice!
We CANNOT assist with 'invitation letters' or visa assistance, so please don't ask.


Activities & Shift

930-noon clean and vacuum rooms, clean bath, make beds, sweep and vacuum as needed. There is a free program not too far away which gives English Language lessons. We try not to have two people from the same country at the same time, because then they end up speaking their native language to each other and not learning as much English as they would like. But sometimes it can't be helped. if we get a really slow day, we try to go tubing on a river or stay at the hostel in the forest.

We suggest you fly into Miami, Orlando, or Jacksonville. NOTE: The Greyhound bus no longer stops in our city so you will need to take an Uber or Lyft or other option for the last travel segment to get to us.
The Greyhound bus stops directly at the Miami airport, so it's an easy transfer, and gets you to nearby Palm Coast. We cannot pick you up, sorry. If arriving by train, Palatka (PAK) is closest.


Rules

We don't care if you drink during your time off but you CANNOT be drunk at the Inn where there may be guests with small children. No hard alcohol is allowed with the on site staff.
