My time with Liz was incredible! The gardening and housekeeping tasks were very manageable, especially once you get into the routine of things. We had lots of time off to go for hikes, bike rides and explore. Liz also has delicious recipes with all the things we get from the garden, and great recommendations for where to go to avoid the very crowded/touristy places! I loved it so much I'm already planning when I can come back! 10/10

My time with Liz was beautiful. I got to experience all the beauty of Interlaken and the surrounding areas—the lakes, the hikes, and the breathtaking beauty of the Alps. If you know how to follow specific instructions, are open to the sustainable lifestyle Liz promotes, and are an active person who enjoys nature and exploring, then I believe this is a beautiful space for you.

My time with Liz in Interlaken was really great! The work was fair and we had plenty of time off. Also Liz was straightforward with how she wanted things done. Picking vegetables and cooking them for dinner that night, playing with her kittens, swimming in the beautiful lake, and hiking every day off were the best parts! 😁

My stay with Liz was beyond what words can describe. She's very welcoming and incredibly funny, definitely one of my favorite hosts I've had so far. The work is fair and never too demanding and I definitely feel like you get more than you give. You work in a team and split tasks among yourselves but it mostly consists of cleaning/doing laundry with some occasional garden work. Switzerland is just something you need to experience and see with your own eyes - trust me, the photos don't do it justice. Thank you Liz and everyone for an amazing month I will never forget!!🩷🩷11/10 recommend!

My experience in Bönigen was very positive. My main tasks were taking care of the cats and keeping the house clean. Elizabeth gave very clear instructions, which made everything easy to manage. The environment was calm and the cats were lovely. I also appreciated chatting with Raphael, which made the stay even nicer. The only small downside for light sleepers like me is Fluffer, who sometimes taps on the cat door in the bedroom at random hours during the night.
