I had an amazing time at this farm stay. Melanie and her family are incredibly kind and taught me much about their culture. They also showed me around the area and took me to some awesome local events. The work is straight forward, the farm is beautiful, and the family is fantastic.

I spent two weeks here in Freden with Melanie and her family, with my companion by my side. It's an incredibly beautiful countryside with a rich atmosphere. Cows and llamas were also around to look it, it felt fresh to experience a life on a rural farm, but our hosts took strong action to keep us entertained; going sledding, meeting local and taking walks through the village. We went in January, which is a very slow time for the farm. There is a lot of isolation and time to think. Once I captured a routine it was great. They have a workout room, with a sauna. Thank you Melanie❤️
